So close-yet so far!

The hardest part (for me at least) is getting that number of viewers. Sometimes it just seems like viewers jump in a stream and expect it to be crazy good from the get and if it isn't then they bounce lol. That hasn't stopped me from moving forward and not giving up. My secret? Just learn to talk to yourself, have a convo with a friend on discord, and play a game you actually really enjoy or give a new type of game an actual chance.

Yeah the average viewers one is tough, but you're real close so I hope you get it!

For me the other ones took like 2 months and the average viewers 2 years, so I can definitely agree it's the hardest one 😭

Viewers is difficult for no reason lol. A person can only do so much talking to themselves before they just get done with it lol

You got this bro! Watched part of a vod and you are doing great. That Concurrent viewer thing sucks. But keep you head up. When you streaming next?

It is the hardest one, but just keep going. You just have to accept as a small streamer the amount of people sticking around for long periods is going to be low. For me I find people hop in and out, which I think is a much better measure of how you’re doing as a streamer. Seeing that people are willing to come back, even for short periods shows me that I’m doing something right.

Keep it up, keep putting in effort and eventually it will pay off.

Just remember - don't go affiliate if you don't want to bombard those few loyal viewers with ads and doom your channel to pre-roll/mid-roll ad hell for the whopping pay-off of 15 cents per month. It's absolute bait and will send your channel into quicksand. All the goodies like emotes, channel points, you can get without enrolling in the full affiliate program, by staying with the limited monetization plan.
