I Asked 100 Streamers How to Be Successful

ty for the shoutout bro, very kind of you. big fan.

I’ve been wanting to try out streaming for a while, so I’m super stoked to watch this!! Edit: Just got attacked 48 seconds in, and I quit lmao. But I’ll be back 💪🏻

1:43 This is actually an eye-opener about what it takes to "make it". Man spent 600+ hours averaging 2 viewers and kept going. Insane. Thanks for sharing. Honestly daunting but at the same time encouraging.

Ludwig needs to make a video called how to not cheat and watch it himself

So glad that ludwig is learning how to operate a stream from the goats. cant wait til he hits 1000 subs!

I want to be a pilot and your "JUST DO IT, you don't need equipment" speech really inspired me however, I died

His first piece of advice is spot on. My first few streams got either no views or negative views it felt like, but slowly over time people came. And if you make the excuse that your pc isn't good enough, well guess what?! Neither is mine, I'm running a fucking gt 730 in a pc I found on Amazon for a stupid low amount. It was litteraly just enough to get my foot in the door. I use a combination of obs and PS remote play to stream, the quality sometimes sucks but it's better than nothing. I've slowly upgraded different things and now I'm just working on getting a new pc.

In this video there were 3 different styles of pie charts. Their distributions are as follows: 12.5% - 3D Vertical, 25% - 2D Vertical, 62.5% - 2D Horizontal

Man this can be applied to anything that you wanna do. This lud guy know his stuff.

This morning, i got sent this video by one of my biggest supporters. I have been streaming (for the most part) multiple times a week since October of 2020 and for the most part, have not gotten anywhere. After my hundreds of hours of experience, I believed that i had thought of every possibiilty for what I might be doing it wrong and since I've never had the money for professional equipment, I've blamed it on that. But this video changes EVERYTHING. It gave me some much needed perspective on what streaming should be as opposed to the false conceptions I had built about what it was. It showed me what I can do better and the next steps I need to take to become the streamer I want to be and got me out of the trap I have been keeping myself in for the better part of the past few years. To those of you who, like I had, have put in the time and believe there is nothing to do internally to better yourself as a streamer, I encourage you to watch this video as many times as you need to and keep an open mind that being trapped in that mindset might be the very thing keeping you where you are. Dont be afraid of being wrong or making mistakes because the truth is youre going to fo that a lot. Everybody is. Failure is the best teacher. If you read this, thank you. I'm aware that there could be people replying to this saying that nobody asked and I know that. I didnt do this for them, I did this for you and I did this for me. I had to get this out of my system.

What a phenomenal video. Not only does Ludwig's advice apply to streaming but its also great life advice. Super well done!

25:33 Yes

This was inspirational because it doesn't just apply to streaming. A lot of the advice here is great for pretty much any creative field out there.

Ludwig saying he's never actually wanted to be a talk show host is funny because I could listen to him talk for hours on end, he's such a good speaker

I totally agree with your perspective on streaming. It's not all about being flashy and famous, but more about the journey and the joy of gaming. At the end of the day, as a streamer, you should just focus on doing what you love.

I have no intention on streaming but all this talk makes me realize to just do the things I planned to do instead of just theorizing over them. good stuff.

36:44 last bullet is my biggest inspo for streaming

i ate a croissant one time

Lud being actively open to share information about what important tips matter in a content sphere is so cool, I really appreciate creators that love to share tips because they understand the industry keeps growing. I don't currently create content, but I do intend to do so eventually, I have already made some progress even. I care tons about learning about these content tips, both because of my eventual goals but also because I study Marketing and I'll need them regardless. I truly believe in the skill elements of these platforms. I believe in the possibility to reach a minimum stability to even the big dream, I believe creating is awesome and fullfiling, I've done it one way or another all my life... - I have a friend who has been streaming for a bit, but I notice she actively doesn't have any content plan, she almost doesn't seem interested, but she also regularly speaks of the big dream, she streams occasionally with none of these goals in mind, particularly the clip mentality I too have recognized as necessary. I think she could use some of this info, thank you for compiling a great entry level bullet point ❤
