Hi! I've been streaming since Tuesday, the 9th of January 2024.
Things I've learned so far:
- It's more easy to get a new viewer during the week, rather than on the weekend.
- It's key to notice a new person who writes a message in the stream chat. Because if you don't react, he will be gone very quickly. Therefore, I recommend to setup the program Chatty. Using this piece of software, you can create an audio notification, if someone writes in your chat. And in this way, you can promptly react to the person.
- It's better to do one long stream during a day, rather than three short streams. The long stream helps to build up viewers and followers. For example when I'm tired, but I have another business call in 1.5 hours, I just keep the stream online, I write a message such as "Next call at 14:00 CET", and then I go lay down a bit. This actually worked - when I was back in the stream at 14:00 CET, 1-2 people joined.
I will update this post as time goes by.
