Q&A: “Jumping into Twitch streaming…”

Notes from Chris

Episode 2003

Today’s listener is getting into Twitch! It’s a popular live streaming platform for gaming, music, sports, general commentary, and much more… even birdwatching is big there.

I’m no expert, so the first thing I’ll do is send them to some experts … but that said, there are some general tips that apply to building a streaming audience across any platform. She’s also wondering specifically about how to bring over her existing audience from Instagram. This isn’t so simple, but I have a tip for that too.

"I've been doing lots of Instagram Live and am ready for a new platform. I'm thinking I'll go with Twitch instead of YouTube. What are your top tips to get started? Also, how can I bring over as much of my Instagram audience as possible? I know they won't all migrate, but I'm hoping at least 50% will. That's a good number and should help me grow elsewhere—or so I hope."
