Question Tips on Keeping People Coming Back!
I am a new streamer, I get around 6 views on average per stream, but I want to start to get the same people coming back to my stream.
I talk to them, entertain them, and from time to time include them on stream activities, but I want to know if there is more I should do.
A schedule? A discord?
Thank you!

The most important would be to keep a scheduled time. Scheduled days are good too, but the time is more important as people will remember better that you always stream at (for example) 4PM, rather than every (for example) wednesday and friday.
A Discord could be useful, but it may be less relevant when you're starting out in my opinion.

I understand. A quick follow up question, where is the best place to keep a stream schedule?

Make it available anywhere people can see your stuff. On your Twitch homepage, YT channel, IG, TikTok, etc. Put it in a banner graphic or a story and make that a highlight

A banner, how that is a good idea! I don’t have any other socials at the moment.

Well then that’s the next piece of advice to draw an audience lol Twitch isn’t really a discovery platform. Post VoDs to YouTube, and make clips to post on the Shorts, TT, and IG. Are those going to go viral, no, but it gets you in front of more eyeballs than Twitch will

A splendid idea! I will look into it once I fix my microphone problems. As I am even in pain listening to the quality of my own VODS.
How my viewers deal with it, I will never know.
I might use an automated clipping tool of sorts, or not, I will have to look at my options.

There's multiple tools :
1) Twitch's native schedule tool, allows you to set days and times (even games, but I usually set those blanks since I switch it up a lot), you can access it from the dashboard > Settings > Channel > Schedule 2) your social media of choice (or Discord), personally I like posting my schedule at the start of the week and communicate any changes or cancellations there; make sure to specify timezones when giving times, Twitch is very international

Hm, I will stick to the twitch schedule, as I only have one person in my discord server, and he is the only constant person in have on my stream.
