As a non-native English speaker and a first-time camera moment, I got so nervous on my first couple of streams.
Luckily, I got a helpful chatter on my first day of streaming, and we talked for half an hour, which boosted my confidence to show up the next day.
But, unfortunately, I never got that viewer back or another person to chat with; still, I regularly try to show up and stream at least 2 hours every single day.
For the first week, I learned a lot. Things like:
- Greet every single one who joins your chat.
- Always ask open-ended questions to keep your chat engaging.
- Ask for help from viewers because people love to help others.
These are a few things I learned this week and am actively experimenting and learning new things to make my stream more engaging and value-packed.
I know these are not so impressive numbers, but I am very happy with the results because I am starting to enjoy streaming. (Yesterday, I had only 1 view throughout the stream,i.e. me opening the tab to check stream stats, still I streamed for 1.41 hours.)
I know it is going to be tough because streaming is tough, and the niche I am in has lesser audience.
I am not trying to fast-forward; rather, I am trying to remove my camera fear, improve my speaking skills, while learning new tech skills. And if I made some money on the go, is a plus for me.
So, if you are an experienced streamer, please drop some helpful insights I must know.
