Hey All,

I am sure some of you have noticed that I haven't been on BF4 pestering Dave & Lee nearly as much as of late. The reason being is I have been working on some of the back end systems needed to start streaming. It is something I have been kicking around for a year now and my wife has really empowered me to do it. I take more social approach to my gaming(hence joining TBG) so streaming seems like a natural fit and, if anything, berating @Fabio_Gonzalo is always entertaining in itself.

Any support(channel follow or views, nothing monetary) you all want to throw my way would be much appreciated.

Thanks all!!

Can't threaten me with a good time....
 
Gave you a follow. I tried streaming for a bit but I'm kinda quiet when I game so I realized it wasn't really for me.

Some things I learned that may help you:

1) add a schedule to your info section. It doesn't have to be as specific as what games each day, but pick a time period and days that you know you will play and post it. This will let people viewing your channel when exactly they can expect to watch you.

2) even when nobody is watching, just being vocal while your playing alone will help when people are (this is what I struggled with). Basically try to get used to vocalizing your thoughts while playing.

3) use a high quality mic. People on twitch are picky as they have so many choices. But good audio quality when it comes to your voice is extremely important to some.

4) not really important Imo, consider getting a good webcam to show you while you're streaming. This isn't as important if you have good audio and stream quality and are talkative. Sovietwomble doesn't use a webcam, but his banter with friends and even just his banter with himself really helps him stand out.

5) also not as important, consider either making some overlays, or having someone make some for you. Overlays just help your videos stand out when people are scrolling through looking for a channel to watch. It gives it more of a professional look and gives people the impression you are trying to be more than the average. I used Tacticalliondesigns.com when I had mine made. They customize everything to your liking and will change it until you are happy with the design.

6) have fun:)

Good luck!!!
