Look i’m gonna say it you’ve clicked on this video because you want more followers but i’m gonna give you the truth followers don’t matter i’ve seen people with 10 000 followers bringing in 3 000 average viewers and i’ve seen people with over 28 000 followers averaging 80 viewers the only time Followers actually matter are when you’re trying to get 50 followers so you can reach affiliate so today i’m going to show you guys how to get your first 50 followers on twitch by telling you exactly how i went from 0 to 50 followers in just 12 streams with no Online presence beforehand oh and i also have a giveaway coming up so stay tuned for that hello everybody my name is Eljay from streamscheme.com i’m also a variety streamer over at twitch.tv/eljayem_ links to both those in the description and today i’m gonna be walking You through that’s right how to get your first 50 followers on twitch now every single one of these tips is something that i do every single stream to engage new viewers to follow it’s something That i did back when i was first starting out and it’s worked really well for me now there are time codes in the description and in the top comment if you want to skip ahead however these do tend to Build on each other so if you watch these in order you’ll have a better understanding of everything that i’m going to cover so before we jump into everything i want to throw it out there that i Have two things for you the first a question what is your stream goal this is something that you should have locked in now otherwise you’re going to be streaming with no real sense of purpose what is your short-term goal what is your long-term goal comment them down below otherwise i Can’t really help you guys and while you’re doing that if you add your twitch name to that comment we will go through and pick a few lucky winners to get a 50 owned 3d voucher to use in their store now it covers pretty much everything emotes overlays whatever we’ll pick them we’ll contact You easy as that you have to do anything so you have to subscribe so that would help now the first tip i want to cover is more of a tip to do not do and i know it’s going to sound ridiculous But i still have to say it because i get comments on all of my videos asking for follow for follow not for me but in general do not do follow for follow do not comment saying that you’re close to 50 and you just need a bit of help to get there it doesn’t help you at all and if you reach affiliate this way it is going to hurt you more than you know but i want to explain to you exactly why it Doesn’t work twitch isn’t like other social media if you’re on instagram and you do follow follow which i think is where it kind of started that and twitter you can post something and within 24 hours it doesn’t matter who’s there they might still see your content they might still engage with it There’s no huge commitment to engage with someone on instagram or twitter by doing follow for follow twitch is the complete opposite so if you go from 12 followers to 50 followers and most of Those people are from follow for follow and none of them want to check you out or none of them can even check you out because they’re asleep or at work when you’re streaming then it doesn’t matter if you’ve got 50 followers you won’t even reach three average viewers to become an affiliate Because you just don’t have the audience do not follow for follow it looks bad it messes you up and it will really hurt your analytics just don’t do it so billy stop writing that comment right now Asking for follows or else i’m going to copy and paste the same three paragraphs that i copy and paste to every single person who asks to follow and follow in the comments of this channel and You won’t read it and you will learn nothing and i will have wasted my time and so would have you because i’ll delete your comment after a few days and it’ll just be a waste for everyone involved Damn it with that out of the way i do want to give you our first proper actionable tip and that is to engage your viewers and your chatters now i know what you’re thinking i already do that I’ve been doing that heaps someone said hi and i said hi back no you take it a step further ask them how their day was have they beaten this game what is their favorite in the series hey are You watching the boys seeing as twitch is showing that ad everywhere please stop showing me the boys i bought a prime subscription so i don’t just see it doesn’t matter anyway sorry talk to your viewers actually engage them engage them in a way that makes them feel Welcome that makes them feel like they want to be in this chat because that’s building a culture of people wanting to do that so when new people join your community will also welcome them and it grows from there it’s incredibly powerful if you want to gain followers You just have to engage them and make them feel welcome again i know this sounds obvious but i’ll go into a streamer’s channel who has 60 to 70 average viewers and i’ll see someone new in their Chat right hi or meekly because they just want to see it they’ll talk back to you and the streamer just goes hi bootyman 69 and then keeps playing ask them how their day is talk to them seriously They just want to communicate if they didn’t they wouldn’t be on twitch they’d be watching youtube engage your viewers properly take it a step further and really try i said followers don’t matter and i stand by that but if someone talks in your chat you engage them they follow there’s A bit of a back and forth they get involved in the community then that is so much more valuable than 10 other followers who you don’t do that with because that person will come back there is intent there for them to watch your stream they’re having a good time they’re engaging So engage your viewers engage your chatters and it’ll be a lot more powerful when it comes to growing your community seriously tip numero uno call to actions doing them properly is very very powerful i mentioned this in my stream labels video and my cloud bot video if you have A solid call to action it is a very very good way to gain followers because often people just forget they can follow they forget they can even chat sometimes it’s pretty funny creating a call to action that isn’t super pushy and isn’t too intense or begging is a really really nice way To engage people to follow the channel as i said in my other videos i use a timed cloudbot message now that means every 30 to 45 minutes a bot will say in my chat hey if you’re enjoying this channel Why not consider following it really helps us out and it’s free often whenever this goes off i get three to four people following depending on the game and what i’m doing at the time but it’s very powerful just remind people that they can follow that’s all now this timer is The only way i call to action my followers these days however back when i had maybe i think 32 33 followers i was doing a stream and i really wanted to hit 50 followers that night so i created the Bar it said 34 out of 50 and every time someone followed it counted up looking back on it it is ugly as hell and i can’t believe i had this on my screen but it really worked it wasn’t pushy it Wasn’t chubby but people saw it and they thought i could get him there i can get him to that stage we were having such a fun night the chat and the community really got into it as well being like oh My god we got another one five left four left they started counting down they started getting into it it was amazing later in this video i am actually going to go into some actionable tips you can Do to make your chat excitable and hyped but for now i just want you to understand it was seriously an exciting night for us everyone was so keen on it everyone who joined the chat got Invested in this zero to 50 run that we were doing to try and get those 50 followers it was huge and i still remember my 50th follower pike 13. i will never forget who he was i have it highlighted As well sometimes we look back at it when we hit a thousand followers we looked back at it when we hit two thousand we look back at it seriously i will never forget that night i will never forget That person so the actual tip use call to actions to remind people they can follow and support you just don’t be too intense or beggy about it on to our next tip game selection now i’m not going To go into this too much i have so many other videos about game selection or videos that cover how to pick a game i just want to talk about using a game selection to engage people to follow Okay if you want to see how to pick a good game you want to see what games are good for growth there are videos in the description and in the cards just check those out they will help you Because they go into it in much more detail so there are some really really powerful games you can use to engage people to follow games like pokemon x-com darkest dungeon anything that has a hero that you can name a team that you can name it’s not a new trick naming the pokemon You catch or the soldiers in your xcom team after your chatters or your followers is a great way to engage people not just to follow but also to hang out because they want to see the journey They want to see what happens to their pokemon or their soldier as they go throughout the game so do that when i played starter due valley it even worked when i just named cows after people they don’t do anything and just sit there but they were like how’s my cow doing The cow but they loved it so actionable tip play games where people can get engaged and be characters in the game it’s very powerful so i’m going to go into community events and a few things you can put in place straight away to make your stream more followable soon However i want to throw it out there if this video has helped you out at all don’t subscribe check out my other content first and if that helps you out whether it’s the game selection videos the cloudbot the stream labs whatever it is the how to grow stuff if that helps you out Maybe then consider subscribing because it means that the content has helped you and it’s a great way for me to see that it did if this video helps you though liking and commenting is great plus if You comment your stream goals and also your stream name i’ll be able to find you and give you a 50 free own voucher perfect it’s easy it’s free go for it anyway sorry i’ll get back into it so As i said followers don’t matter what is much more important are community members and much much much more powerful thing than a follower so to get community members how do you do that well you have to engage them and a great way to do that is by creating community Nights these are nights where you play party games together such as jack box scribblio or anything with multiplayer like it could be animal crossing multiplayer or star g multiplayer or call of duty multiplayer doesn’t matter but if you play games with these people and have community events It’s a great way to engage them and it will make it a lot more fun for them so they’ll most likely stay around i think the most common go-to party game is jack box because it’s twitch integrated It’s very easy to set up and only the streamer needs to own it so anyone can get involved pretty much it’s really great you should check it out you do need to have eight to ten people who are willing to play with you whether it’s your friends or your current community members but Often if you can get five or six the rest will be filled out by people wanting to play the game doing community nights can be a really great way to build a bond in your community it can be a Lot of fun even create channel memes and inside jokes like this weird rat that got made on that night when i hit 50 followers it’s still a channel meme it’s still going on now these things stick If people are involved in it they really love it so actionable tip host community events and play with your viewers or hang out with your viewers it’s a great way to get more followers great way To make people hang out more the next step is to create a positive experience now if you go and do something whether it be the first episode of a tv show whether you go to the movies with a New group of friends a tinder date i don’t know but in this case it’s a stream if you go and do any of those things and it isn’t a positive experience it’s a negative experience you’re not going to want to do it again you’re not going to subscribe to the channel you’re Going to follow why would you want to doesn’t make sense so make a positive experience it’s easy to get wrapped up in the fact that people aren’t following the fact you have zero viewers the fact that you’re just doing really badly in your new challenge run don’t focus On the negatives focus on the positives and try and make a positive experience it is so important i will tell you a secret but you can’t tell anyone because if you tell anyone this it’s Going to get rid of my cool bad boy mystique that i got going on and it will ruin that forever but when i’m at my nervous when i’m at my most anxious when i’m at my most annoyed frustrated Doesn’t matter i will smile and laugh as much as i can because it’s so important i don’t show my viewers that i’m freaking out the moment i start going negative the chat will reflect that your community reflects you your chat reflects how you are feeling You can grow a really positive and happy community as long as you stay happy and positive it’s so crucial there are so many communities that i think sit around 45 to 50 viewers and they have Very very very toxic standards i’m just saying it now if you are going to complain and get angry or sigh or have those back and forth you create a very toxic environment if your chat is toxic or Negative or easily upset or you are any of those things as well it’ll make an environment that a lot of people won’t want to be a part of however when people drop by make sure it’s positive or Else you’re screwed so my final tip of the night it’s not even night time it’s the morning for me but the final tip it’s kind of a culmination of all the tips in this video all of them together and that is you are a small streamer if you are watching this most likely So celebrate every single follower do not just go hey thanks for that follow be excited say thanks so much for that follow it really helps me out you’re our 36th follower that’s amazing thank you so much how’s your day going

How To Engage Viewers So They Follow
The first piece of actionable advice is to engage every viewer on an individual level. I’ve said this in a few videos but I still see streamers not doing this, if someone talks in your chat, say hi to them, BUT GO A STEP FURTHER, ask them how their day is going, or say, “Have you beaten this game yet?” or what country are you watching from?
Engage them in a way that makes them feel welcome, and encourage that conversation and chat. Without a community of people willing to chat and welcome new members, a stream will never grow.
I know this sounds obvious but the amount of times I see new people join other streamers chats and say, “Hi” meekly to test the waters only to get a “Hey Bootyyman69” and then nothing else is very rough. They’re in chat, chat to them!
I said followers don’t matter right? That’s true, hitting the follow button means nothing, but if you have someone actively engaged and wanting to be a part of the community and active in the chat then that follower is more valuable and important to nurture than anything.
Actionable Tip: Ask questions, and engage every chatter.

How To Use Calls To Actions To Gain Followers
I mentioned this in my Streamlabs Cloudbot video and my Stream Labels video, but call to actions are really powerful, often people forget they can follow or sometimes they forget they can even chat because they’re used to just chucking a stream on in the background.
Have a call to action, that isn’t super pushy and in your face, can be very powerful. These days I use a timed bot in my chat to remind people gently that if they are enjoying the content then they can follow the channel.
The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.
