So, here are 10 proven tips that will help get your Twitch channel moving forward:

2. Show Your Passions
You don’t have to limit yourself to just one game or streaming type. Instead, show off what drives you every day. Explore different genres and styles on Twitch so fans can see who you are as a person and streamer!
3. Engage With Viewers
This is going to be the most crucial factor. Interact with viewers whenever possible!
Answer their questions; show interest in meeting them. Make them feel listened to, and let viewers feel like they’re part of the fun!

- Work on the visual clarity, and pick up an inexpensive but good-quality camera.
- Avoid having a dark picture quality using a basic lighting system, so your face is clean and clear on the camera.
- Invests in a decent microphone and do some tests to set it up in the right place for you.
Consistently check for mic pops & dead space during your streams or video recordings (using headphones helps!).

Being informed and up-to-date on these will help you stay ahead of the curve. Giving you a chance to create content your viewers can be looking for.
Announce in advance in your social profiles. Then, once you are LIVE, make sure everyone watching your streaming finds it extra special by getting access to early news and information!!
