Does this sound familiar:
You have been playing video games online since you can remember. Your parents and some of your friends are so fed up of not seeing you, that in good faith they say that you should be a famous streamer.
Sure... Lets press 3 buttons and boom! Money is just downloading into your bank account. Well, when the server is not down and nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...... nnoooooooooott lagging your game.
Ahh, if it was only that easy. Well, they mean good. But no, its actually really tough to become famous streamer, and you know it. Here are a few things that gamers dont always pay attention to other players that have big known names.
The excuse. Yes thats an excuse. Girl gamers will always have an edge, when you combine them all together and see how much money they make. But male streamers usually still get paid more then the average streaming girl. Thats because they have mastered one or both of the 2 next points:
So take into consideration that you are not competing against someone who just bought a game, when trying to become a famous streamer on twitch. You are battleing against people who do this for a living! Or else, you can stay an average player, but then you must MASTER this last point.
Hi , my name is Johnny, wanna be my friend? This sounds bad right? Well how about this: Hi, give me money! FOLLOW ME!
Nope. You must learn to add value to the people you talk to. Hi, love your wig! Nice job, you had 2900 followers 3 days ago, now you are at almost 3000! Keep working hard!
Learn to like other people, don't promote yourself. Then when you are playing and running your own channel, be fun. Learn what the top twitch streamers say. Make jokes, stop and think what people are saying to you and interact. Stop playing! Go and check how these guys do it:

1. Female players that act or dress flirty will always have more followers!
You know it, they said it: The most basic human attraction to reproduce is the single most powerful driving force of our existance, and it sells anything. Your hormones and brain will buy, follow, stare, eat, do almost anything to have the chance at making a double of yourself. To make mini-you's and to assure that your genetic code survives. These girls, flipping vowels at wheel of fortune, giving you the wrong price on the price is right, and standing next to sporty luxurious cars, are all meant to arouse and excite you so that your body associates that awesome feeling of your adrenaline rushing through your blood, with whatever that top model is pointing at, or telling you to do.The excuse. Yes thats an excuse. Girl gamers will always have an edge, when you combine them all together and see how much money they make. But male streamers usually still get paid more then the average streaming girl. Thats because they have mastered one or both of the 2 next points:
2.Are you better then the average player?
Oh, you may think you are better then many because you play more often. It is also true that doing something for 5000 hours makes you a pro, expert or "master" at whatever you are doing. (yup, practice makes perfect). Many millionnaire athletes will tell you: There is no difference between me and a normal athlete, I just practive more often, I make 200 points before I go to bed 4 times a week, some only make 200 points in a year, some never even scored 200 points... ever in their life.So take into consideration that you are not competing against someone who just bought a game, when trying to become a famous streamer on twitch. You are battleing against people who do this for a living! Or else, you can stay an average player, but then you must MASTER this last point.
3.Stop twitching, make friends!
You have to be fun, you have to spend a minimum an hour a day speaking to people. Go on their channels, watch them. Talk to their followers. Come back often. Make a list of channels and personalities that are not too big, and make them friends. What is real friendship?Hi , my name is Johnny, wanna be my friend? This sounds bad right?

Nope. You must learn to add value to the people you talk to. Hi, love your wig! Nice job, you had 2900 followers 3 days ago, now you are at almost 3000! Keep working hard!
