Diary of a Twitch Streamer

This will be the final episode of Diary of Twitch Streamer. It's been a good run but I think it's time to bring it to an end. I go into further detail on the episode and all the episodes will remain on Spotify and anchor.fm. I think the topic of the podcast will work much better as shorter vlog type videos on YouTube.

On this week's episode I talk about my need to focus on my health and my content by finally taking my own advice. By the end of this year my goal is to reach Twitch Partner, or at least get close to that and a few things need to happen and that's what I cover this week.

This week's episode is part apology and part explanation of how my depression affects my ability to create content. This may be something you can relate to and if so, let me know. It's not something I talk about...ever, nor have I really told anyone about it. It can be a tough subject for some, but it's OK to get it off your chest and start a conversation. On a lighter note, I give my first impressions and review of the new streaming platform, Glimesh. I'm also doing more with the YouTube channel and if you are interested in the content I make, please consider subbing at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPXZbxjrDOYZAjWOKsznTnA Watch me live on Twitch three nights a week starting at 8:30pm EST at https://twitch.tv/jimbolewis Follow me on the socials: Discord: https://discord.gg/jndQuZj Twitter: twitter.com/dtscast and twitter.com/jimbolewistv Insta: instagram.com/jimbolewistv --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kemkraft/support

This week's episode is more of a response to a listener's tweet about being a variety streamer. I think there are some misconceptions about the term and I want to take some time to offer some clarification and suggestions. I also touch on my experience with Just Chatting streams and share my thoughts about that.

Last week Twitch emailed their 2020 recap to streamers and viewers. While most people were excited to see streaming stats for the year, some of us see numbers and start to stress. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people and felt the need to share my experience with you and maybe you can relate. This week I look back on mistakes I've made, things I could have done better, and decisions I'm happy with. Also, I created a Twitter account for the podcast and you can follow it over at twitter.com/dtscast.

I and many others will tell you that the best way to grow on Twitch is to stream a single game. While I still believe that, I've realized during my two week break, I don't want to be that kind of streamer. I've tried several times to pick just one game but more times than not, I over think things and stress myself out.

The week of Christmas is upon us and I have to admit, this is the time my inner kid breaks loose. I've always been a Christmas kid and the feeling the holiday brings me is wonderful.

It was brought to my attention that I re-uploaded episode 14 so, this is the correct file. My apologies. I think I have finally found my new main game, Destiny 2. I played Destiny One back in the day up until The Taken King and I can't believe I'm just now picking up Destiny 2. This is a game that I'm having a lot of fun with and I've been putting a lot of hours into it. I also talk about a major decision I made to have myself removed the Twitch Affiliate program.

On this episode I cover a few health updates and talk about some surprising growth I've seen on my Twitch channel. I also talk about the new DMCApocolypse that is upon us and how it can affect us as streamers. If you are still playing copyrighted music on stream, stop right now. If you have any clips with copyrighted music, go and delete them. Remember, three DMCA strikes will get you permabanned from Twitch.

I promise this isn't a rant episode but I did want to bring up some concerns I have had with Twitch the past few weeks. I was a little hesitant to release this episode because I'm sure some people may not agree with me or just assume that I made a "hit piece." That is not the case at all. These are my thoughts and feelings on Twitch right now and I believe they are valid.

This week I give some updates on my health and my Twitch growth. I also talk about my recent enjoyment of stream Call of Duty and Battlefield V and how it can be possible to grow in these saturated directories by making connections with your audience. I've always talked about how streaming saturated games is a bad idea, but I think there is some possibilities for growth. I also cover a couple of big streaming news stories that happened recently with Twitch testing mid-roll ads and Facebook signing music licensing deals with major music distributors. I also have a new website you can checkout at http://kemkraftmedia.com where you can find all of the content I create across 3 YouTube channels, Twitch, and the podcast If you want to provide feedback, email me at kemkraft@gmail.com.

This episode is definitely geared towards those who want to take their broadcast career seriously. I have to admit I was a little hesitant to upload this because I am technically a small streamer I have experience and my audience says I put out great content; I happen to agree. I know this may come off as a little brash, but if you're struggling, I think you need to hear it. A part of me needed to hear it as well.

This week is all about switching. With the closing of Mixer and the emergence of Trovo, should you switch platforms. What about switching the games you stream; is it a smart move?
