i streamed once, 3 years ago, when a friend of mine gave me his old mic. I just streamed rimworld for 2 hours and talked to chat like we were hanging out in the same room. still have 5 followers lol
my completely worthless advice would be to just do it, and let the chips fall where they may
Yeah, it's hard. I remember listening to a pod where popular streamers talked about their success, and it comes down to:
Must do these things:
Have a microphone
Talk about whatever while having viewers, silence is not interesting
Gameplay that isn't completely average. You can be really terrible, really good, or do something interesting outside of the good/bad structure.
Stream.
Then, you need to actually get some viewers. People that like what you are doing. Options include:
Be involved in the game's community and make friends
Encourage people online to visit, put out a call on this site or on social media or whatever
Perform some never seen before feat so everyone comes to see what you'll do next (unlikely to happen)
The most important thing to remember is that it's a slow process. If you're streaming with the sole intent of becoming popular, that's the wrong approach. Stream with the intent of having a small number of people that do keep coming back to watch you.

a large part of the twitch viewer base don't care if you're good at the game or not, they watch for entertainment
