5 Cheap Things You Can Add to your Stream to Instantly Gain Viewers

Streaming is competitive, and simply just standing in front of the camera is now not enough to bring in viewers. However, with these 5 instant tips, your stream can look professional and engage your audience.

1. Add music

There's a reason that film makers utilize music in films. Music can set the mood fairly easily, and can provide more entertainment for your audience. In terms of what to play, I recommend music beats that have no lyrics, as it's easier for you to talk to your viewers without having the music interrupt you. Simply put on any 24/7 music stream (on youtube), and let the music do the work. Another strategy is to let your audience control the music, by you taking song requests and playing their music. This strategy is incredibly effective as it engages your audience a lot. Learn more about this strategy here.

Be cautious, however, as music not played properly can ruin a stream. Countless times I've joined a stream with music so loud it shakes my computer. Bad quality, bad music, and volume can drive your audience away. Make sure to join your stream yourself to judge the sound quality and volume

Here are examples of good stream music, and bad music:

See the difference? There's too loud, and there's just right. Find the area that works for you.

2. Add a stream menu

It seems obvious, yet most streamers fail to do this. When driving in viewers to your stream, you need to make sure they will come back. By adding a stream menu with your website, social media channels, and prices, you can be sure that new viewers can turn into life long fans. Stream menus can easily turn your stream more professional. Plus, you can add an amazon wishlist and be able to receive gifts from viewers. Take advantage of this in order to retain your audience and get donations.

Compare the two stream menus below. The first one is well designed, has an about me, rules, and top menu. This menu is good as it encourages people to donate and let's them learn more about the streamer to connect with them. The other uses the general Chaturbate theme and provides no social media, details, or contact information.

3. Add a 'game'

When streaming, your primary objective is to bring in viewers and donations. However, you must also focus on entertaining and retaining your current viewers. While adding music may help, it won't entertain every single viewer you have. Try adding a 'game' to your stream. It's really that simple, play hangman, run a Q&A, or even a board game. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you make your audience a player. Most camgirls make the mistake as to playing their game just themselves. Make sure your audience is a player and has control over the game.

Take for example, twitchplayspokemon. Although they stream video games, they achieved massive amounts of growth by giving complete control of the stream to the viewers. Take this as an example to engage your audience and provide massive entertainment.

For instance, take any of these ideas:

• Hangman

• Charades (Viewers LOVE this)

• Tic Tac Toe

• Raffles

• Ban the guest (Pick a random premium to kick a guest that's spamming)

• MardiGras game

• DrawMyThing

• HeadsUp

The main thing is to make your audience included, but also offer a reward. For example, if a certain member wins a game, take whatever request they want (within reason). Incentives and prizes really boost the game to make it feel really fun.

4. Get a good background

Sometimes a dirty back wall can look pretty bad for some people. This is one of the smallest things, but changing it can make your stream look way more professional. You don't need a brand new green screen or paint your wall, but at least be aware of the quality. Position your camera in a way that gives your performance plenty of light, and pick a good area that's comfortable and looks nice (most use a clean bed). Hang up some lights, clean up, or add some scenery. Some camgirls have been very creative and utilize a whiteboard to keep track of donors, goals, games, etc.

5. Utilize Social Media

People are going to come in and out of your stream. Use social media to convert viewers into full time fans. Social media is great because it can alert your fans that you are online instantly, and even lead them in with a nice picture of yourself. Furthermore, you can engage with your fans, answer with their questions, and get to know your audience on a personal level. Developing this connection is vital to converting any viewer into a fan. And, most importantly, social media can turn any random surfer into a viewer instantly.

The best part is you can put any social media overlay and link directly into your stream, making it easy for any viewer to check out your profile.

The only problem is that social media growth requires much time and expertise. We understand that camming is hard work, and we believe that you should spend your time focusing on your stream.
