I receive messages multiple times daily re: helping talent get started on Twitch, or asking for tips/strategies to help position them for success.

I genuinely wish I had time to help everyone (Cloning when?), but I at least wanted to share a few helpful resources in this thread:

"People don& #39;t buy what you do, they buy why you do it" - @simonsinek <- You can learn a lot from them!

Ensure that you communicate your driving purpose first and foremost. Make sure your content reflects your purpose and aligns with your goal.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="6⃣" title="Keycap digit six" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit six"> Focus in Your Show

Look at your structure:

What is your Foundation? (What is necessary for your show to work?)

What are the Additives? (What are the perks? On screen elements?) <- LIMIT THESE

What are Distractions? (What adds nothing/pulls away from show?) <- REMOVE THESE

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="7⃣" title="Keycap digit seven" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit seven"> Create Something You Love

Focus on what you love. I know many successful niche market creators that are living comfortably.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
DON& #39;T. CHASE. TRENDS.

The followers you generate doing something you don& #39;t love will (in majority) abandon you when you stop.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="8⃣" title="Keycap digit eight" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit eight"> Know Your Worth, Respect Your Audience

Your time is valuable, and so is your viewing audience& #39;s. Don& #39;t over-saturate them with unnecessary content and don& #39;t "create for creation& #39;s sake" unless for personal discovery.

Find a balance between paid work and passion work.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="9⃣" title="Keycap digit nine" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit nine"> Observe Data, But Don& #39;t Become Absorbed

Every entertainment career fluctuates. We all strive to be at the top, but in reality careers are more of a rollercoaster.

There are great days/months/years & there are bad days/months/years.

Observe data w/ long term perspective.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔟" title="Keycap ten" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap ten"> We are in this Together

The entertainment space is very small. We all know each other. We all talk. No one is above this fact.

Be a beacon for good. Support one another.
Create together, not in opposition.

Don& #39;t burn bridges. Help build them.

I hope this thread was helpful, or at least gave you some things to think about with your shows!

I genuinely want the best for the creative sphere. I want to see those who are also pushing for better content + a better community succeeding!

Keep innovating!
