Get a channel name<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting your Twitch name is one of the first steps towards starting a successful stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s in a name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that depends on how you look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make it easy to remember, especially if you plan on streaming full-time and want your viewers to be able to find you again.<\/li><li>Make it an extension of you. If your name was Joe, would JoeDoesGaming be a good idea? Probably not&#8230;<\/li><li>Don&#8217;t use numbers or special characters unless you have a specific reason for using them.<\/li><li>The fewer characters in your name, the easier it will be to remember.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And always remember to be careful NOT to infringe on any trademarks (especially if you&#8217;re planning on live-streaming games that other people make).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Get a <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"gaming logo\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">gaming logo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people hear or see your name for the first time, the next thing they&#8217;re going to look at is your gaming logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it a generic template like everyone else&#8217;s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or is it unique to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some questions you should ask yourself to help figure out what type of logo you&#8217;d like designed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What theme do I want?<\/li><li>What colors would I like included?<\/li><li>Who are my favorite characters?<\/li><li>Which are my favorite games?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cWhat do I need to know before starting Twitch?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Decide on your streaming schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something you need to decide ahead of time. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some people who TRY to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingzombies.com\/blog\/fun-things-to-do-on-live-stream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stream 24\/7, but they tend to burn out quickly and their stream loses its fun<\/a> factor (unless they&#8217;re super entertaining and have energy for days &#8211; literally).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it&#8217;s best to start off with a couple of days a week and then spread out from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will let you not only get to know your viewers, but it&#8217;ll also make sure that people are interested in coming back for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s kind of like when a new restaurant opens up &#8211; they want to have enough time to work out the kinks in their menu and service before they start getting slammed with orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Get a mic and webcam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is pretty self-explanatory, but you&#8217;ll need both to get your stream up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good mic will make you SOUND like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And a solid webcam with good lighting (that&#8217;s key) will make you LOOK like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This&#8217;ll make all the difference in the world when your viewers first find you in Twitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Set up your streaming software and hardware<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where the real magic happens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have everything set up, it&#8217;s finally time to turn the switch on and start streaming (again, with a few exceptions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help with this, you can check out Twitch&#8217;s own list of manual setups for different types of streaming software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Twitch Streaming Basics&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Network before you go live<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you ever hit the &#8220;start streaming&#8221; button, make friends with other streamers by joining their communities and following them around Twitch.tv. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will let them find YOUR stream when you&#8217;re ready to go live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if THEY have a lot of viewers, your stream will get a nice boost from their viewership as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Engage your viewers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole point of starting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingzombies.com\/blog\/how-to-improve-twitch-stream-quality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitch stream<\/a> is to have fun and entertain people, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the only way to do that is by engaging them somehow &#8211; whether it&#8217;s through banter, giveaways, or even having them join in the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A community cannot thrive without mutual involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to give to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Get involved in local gaming communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitch isn&#8217;t JUST for online gamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also a great way to connect with people at conventions and expos .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So after you&#8217;ve tested your stream out a few times and feel confident in what you&#8217;re doing, go for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Get creative with the graphics on your channel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is actually something that isn&#8217;t recommended unless you have experience working with editing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If not, I HIGHLY recommend you outsource this to a graphic design team who know what they&#8217;re doing with overlays and banners and videos and panels and alerts&#8230; and, well, everything (*cough* Gaming Zombies *cough*).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In conclusion:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, your <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Twitch channel\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Twitch channel<\/a> is all about having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it&#8217;s also about being professional and &#8220;put together.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you do it right, you could easily grow your following and maybe even turn it into a full-time gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just all about putting in the work, my fellow gamer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and as always, have fun gaming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>-The Zombie Writing Team<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;re new to the world of Twitch, aren&#8217;t ya&#8217;?
