Are you a twitch affiliate and you want to keep growing and grinding it out I'm
gonna give you the best twitch affiliate advice in this video right here let's go
hey it's me it's wild coming at you for my stream support playlist where I bring
you the best tips and tricks and if this is your first time here and you want to
learn how to grow and improve your stream make sure you hit that big red
subscribe button and take that bill so you know when my videos go live for you
I've been streaming for a couple years now and when twitch rolled out the
affiliate program I was lucky enough to be with in the first wave but there's
things that I've learned that I want to share with you that will help you grow
if you're newly affiliated or you kind of just aren't grasping how to grow
beyond affiliation so I'm gonna show you all the tips tricks and secrets I've
learned and even the mistakes that I want to share with you that's gonna help
refine your process of being the best twitch affiliate out there let's talk
about subscribers it's awesome that twitch gives you the ability to get
subscribers as an affiliate which means you get to earn an income off of their
platform but don't get fixated on the numbers never treat your regulars your
viewers your lurkers as subscribers numbers because if you do you're gonna
get to press the fact that you're not growing or you might even be declining
you know twitch should never ever be about the numbers it should be about
having fun and forming a community so don't fixate on your subscriber numbers
now if you can't listen to this little piece of advice
it's okay I don't blame you it's fun earning an income off of twitch but if
you want to get more subscribers you have to be better than the rest you have
to be more engaging which means you have to create better high quality content on
Twitch so you got to start kicking it up a notch you know I'm gonna do a video on
how to get more subscribers for your twitch channel soon so make sure you hit
that subscribe button so that way I can show you that in the near future now
that your twitch affiliate you get something that's just as cool as earning
an income off twitch you get your own personal set of emotes that subscribers
get when they sub to you and you want to think about what's gonna be really
good for your channel you need to think about your personal branding through
your emotes now emotes is a whole other video I'm gonna do a full video on this
so when I do do it I'll put it in the YouTube card up there and I'll put it in
a link in the description below because we can talk about this for quite some
time I'm actually gonna show you how to make really cool emotes for free or
where to find emotes to get them done and what are the best ways to make an
emote so people subscribe to you for that reason alone but just to talk about it
for just a quick moment you want to make sure your emotes resonate with your
community and they're a good representation of you your community and
your channel there is a strong reason why it's called marketing people aren't
gonna just use your emote in your channel hopefully your subscribers will
use your emote in other channels and you'll be surprised at the subliminal
effect that this will have amongst other viewers and even streamers you know I
have been really surprised at how many times people have subbed to me just for my
emote because they want to use it just because they saw it in another channel
this happens an awful lot which is why it's important to have really good
emotes that resonate with you and your channel and stand out from the rest of
the crowd and just like always never copy anybody else's emote there's no
point in copying and stand out from the rest there are too many highs and feel
bad Mans and SADS and everything like that do something that's really unique
that's gonna help stand out from the crowd especially if you're an affiliate
you only get three tiers and most the time people are only gonna get one
because they're gonna sub at tier one so that first one has to be awesome now
just a bro tip that's along the lines of etiquette on Twitch you're gonna have
some pretty sweet emotes well I hope you create some pretty sweet emotes after
watching this video but there are some rules that go along with them do not use
them as a self-promoting tool don't use them out of context it's fine to use
your own emote you worked hard on it or you paid a lot of money for it feel free
to use it but use it in context don't go into some of these channel and spam it
all the time or use it when it's not necessary because that is gonna
annoying a lot of viewers regulars subscribers and streamers don't do that
that's a very bad etiquette move be professional about how you use your own
emote don't overstep your boundaries and use it within the context that works
well for that moment of that stream okay I want to talk about something that's
super important that a lot of people never really seem to talk about
beware of the honeymoon phase on Twitch what's the honeymoon phase when you get
newly affiliated people are gonna go gangbusters over subscribing because
they want to say congratulations and subbing to you is the best and easiest
way for them to do that so you're gonna probably get subs right off the bat in
fact you're probably gonna get a lot of subs for your first in second month but
probably around the third month or shortly after the first month you're
gonna start seeing a strong decline and this is the honeymoon phase everybody's
excited for you because you got affiliate but slowly they'll start to
stagger out and they may not sub again which is fine they just wanted to
congratulate you so don't be despaired don't be depressed don't be sad when
this happens cuz it will happen everybody has a huge spike and then it
kind of goes down and plateaus and then it's up to you to regrind it out so if
the honey maze honey honeymoon phase happens to you don't let it get you down
because you know it's gonna come so this way you can be prepared for it and you
can start to grind it out and go on to bigger and better things something
that's just as important as the honeymoon phase that may get you down
and depressed is never ever compare yourselves to others others people
success does not define your success some people work really really hard to
get where they got some people things just come easy and some people are just
plain lucky it happens don't let that despair you again work with what you got
and be happy with what you get and work hard to obtain more if you start
comparing yourself to others trust me it is gonna eat you alive and it's just
gonna make you feel toxic and it's gonna show on your stream and I don't want
that for you be happy with whatever bits you get with whatever donations
you get whatever subscribers you get whatever viewers you get
be happy for what you've worked for cuz you've worked hard for it
never compare yourselves to others actually you should be happy for others
success and why should you be happy for other success well let's think about it
we're all working really hard on these streaming platforms regardless if you're
on twitch mixer or youtube we're all within the streaming community and a
rising tide lifts all boats and that's what we're trying to do here we can get
more engagement more excitement more viewership across the whole platform
more people are gonna acknowledge it and come in so make sure you congratulate
people on their successes because it has a trickle-down effect of how it can
affect you your stream and your success we know you can earn an income off
twitch through bits and through subscribers you know what's gonna happen
to subscribers they're probably gonna unsubscribe or not renew and don't let
this get you down and sad don't be standoffish don't be bitter just say
thank you and let them know that they're always welcome in your channel
regardless if they're a subscriber or not you'd be surprised when people can
when people stop subscribing to your channel they feel bad they feel like
they may not be welcome or they may even be embarrassed don't let them feel that
way let them know that your stream is always about having fun bring the best
high quality content that you can and let them know that the community is
always there for them regardless of what their status is you'd be surprised at
how many people sub and when they can't renew or the unsub they may never
actually come back so make sure you let them note that they're always welcome
never be bitter and never be standoffish of standoffish about it because they're
very important for you overall okay I'm probably gonna make a couple enemies on
this one but who cares I'm wild4games I do what I want this is my
channel never ever ever be greedy while you're streaming you're gonna earn bits
you're gonna earn subs you're gonna earn donations never plea never ask never
demand any of these things from any of your viewers now you're probably saying
why would anybody ever do that you would be surprised like I said I'm gonna make
enemies you'd be surprised at how many times you see this with partners that
are using this because they're trying to be full
time or the higher affiliates that have a lot of your retention it's okay to say
hey you can sub to my channel and you can have sub commands or donation
commands or anything like that but you know never tell people that they need to
sub to your channel because they need to access this you can inform them but
never lead them to the fact that it feels like they have to do this to be
accepted into your community this happens a lot and I find it very
off-putting and I know a lot of other people do so never be greedy be thankful
for what you have and just keep on grinding it out because you can do great
things on Twitch and every streaming platform out there alright you want to
know what the best advice I can give you if you're newly affiliated or you're
looking to take your affiliation above and beyond and hopefully partnership
alright here's the secret be genuine have fun create high-quality content
simple not really it's hard it's really hard to be genuine it's really hard to
have fun it's really hard to create high quality content but if you can start
chipping away and building up from these things and move on and strive to do
better with all three categories you would be amazed at how slowly your
viewer base will start to grow try your best they're really hard to do but
they're very important and above everything else
have fun on Twitch everybody reduces everything to numbers viewer count
subscriber count donations bits have fun if you can have fun and engage in laugh
with your community you'd be surprised at how many people will keep coming back
and that's the best advice I can give any affiliate on this platform is have
fun if you're having a good time and it's coming across guess what it's gonna
come across and that screen right there and people will always come back to
watch you and your content if you guys are struggling with anything on Twitch
