Yeah, YouTube can be a different animal. On Twitter, the clips I was dishing out took an average 10-40 minutes in DaVinci Resolve. The 2:20 max duration limit on Twitter, forced me to make my videos super high ROI. In fact, most of my content creation involved trimming the fat.
Like for example: MMA/UFC (this wasn’t what I did), there is a boatload of content within the entertainment niche that people have zero awareness of. Nobody has the time to check it out, it’s forgotten or archived… despite in real-time still offering that same “kick”. So if someone takes time to take all of that content, ROI it (trim the fat), stamp it with their own authentic appeal by enhancing the “kick” that it already innately has, and presents it to people with personal interest in that niche… then it can resonate profoundly.
One thing I would probably do if I was streaming, is to make sure I was everywhere to gain traction. I would never just stream within a vacuum, and hope people to stumble across my stream. Especially not when starting out.
It’s like networking, you have be in and around. You have to be visible. Algorithms. You have to be everywhere in what your work is related to.
I would be incredibly participant in the communities for the games. Know everything about not just the game, but internet footprint of it. What are the demographics, what demographics can I potentially tap into, what separates me from other streamers, why would someone watch me over someone else, etc.
On Twitter with 0 followers, visibility was everything. Nobody is going to follow you, if they can’t see your content or don’t know if it exists.
Visibility + Value
Note: I’m not a streamer, and have never streamed. I don’t have experience, lol.
Just have clear goals with streaming, run subs, and I’m sure you’ll figure things out.
Time management is a super important thing. I spent thousands on a gaming set-up, got an RTX 4090, and was running through every game on Twitch in order of highest viewership. I spent too much time though and lacked the interest to turn it into income stream - just wasn’t for me. Video games can be addicting, I get ADHD or some shit with them, lol. But anyways, point is… if you have a busy schedule then take at least 1 hour daily working on the side-goal. As the days pass by, it adds up especially with the help of subliminals.
For example: In my spare time not too long ago, I was getting lost in mobile video games on my phone because they were so addicting and accessible. I cut it out, and began spending 1 hour a day learning Spanish. It’s now been around 6-7 months of consistency and my fluency is incredible. I also unfolded really unorthodox and creative ways to help me in my learning. Wild shit, as in my girlfriend would come home from work to find me in a room with 2 Hispanic movies playing on different screens with subtitles, notebook open, internet open, blasting Flamenco in surround sound, eating homemade Tapas and shit while wearing a sombrero. Lmao. She doesn’t get surprised at this point, I really dial in lol. Those hours add up… 1 hour a day for a year is 365 hours. Subliminals also help improve learning in general, in my experience.
I agree with all your points. Honestly I’ve been neglecting video editing as I previously mentioned and networking. Which I know is one of the highest ROIs for a streamer. But I’m working through these blockages. 
it’s like someone wanting to start a business but hates marketing.
put on some nice music (instrumental or movie soundtrack), lay in the sofa or bed, close eyes and visualise the “perfect streamer day”.
looking forward to the release
