3 Most Common Streaming Mistakes That Beginners Make

Streaming, one of the most popular and well know methods to earn from home online. And why wouldn’t it be? For various content creators, this is the best place to not only stream your talent but also generate a stable income funnel while doing so.

There was a time being a streamer was only for those who were capable of buying high-end recording devices. But times have changed. Now with the advancement of the digital platform, you can create and upload content with your mobile phone cameras whenever you want. As for editing well, there are already lots of apps available for it on mobile phones which are easy to use. So you do not have to be a professional editor for that as well. All you need is to choose the correct streaming platform that suits you. Why choose?

Cause there is more than one streaming platform out there such as Youtube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Twitch, Streaming Plug, and many more. Though every one of them supports videos of all categories some work better for streaming a specific category than others. For example, Twitch is more known for gaming rather than any other platform. Even the giant Youtube lags behind in this department. Other than these platforms there are also social media platforms such as Facebook Live, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. Another thing is that the most important thing is that the more views and subscribers you have the more you can earn. And this is not limited to the platform. You are also able to earn through sponsorship offers from brands and businesses that you get when you have enough views and subscribers on your channel or page.

Now that you know the gist of what you would generally need to know before starting streaming, let me tell you about three of the most common mistakes that rookie streamers tend to do.

Lack of proper niche

One of the most common mistakes that beginners do they don’t prepare a specific topic for their content. They tend to go with the flow and hope to attract as many views as possible. Now, this might work if your channel is new but after the first few videos thing might go grim. As if your channel doesn’t have a specific niche then you can’t hope to get proper loyal viewers. Because of the lack of a proper niche, your target audience isn’t fixed as well and thus making the viewers confused about what your channel represents and what is it for. Thus it’s very to think of a proper niche before starting anything.

No schedule

Another common and crucial mistake that rookies do is not having proper time management. You won’t believe how many promising streamers lost their viewers because of this. If your post videos whenever you feel like it randomly your viewers might miss them. As a new streamer, it’s very important to have a schedule for posting your videos. This doesn’t only apply to new streamers. If you look up successful and veteran streamers you would see that they maintain a consistent timeline for posting their contents and give it their all to meet their viewer’s expectations. And if they aren’t able to post they let them know through social media or apologizing to them at the start of their next video. From this, you can see how serious they are about their commitment.

Not promoting

If you are new it’s natural for no one to know about it. Like if you don’t tell the doctor what the problem is then how would they give you a prescription for it. So it’s very important to promote yourself in order for viewers to know about your content.
