Podzilla's Guide To Streaming

Having now streamed on all four big platforms (Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and Trovo), I decided it would be best if I gave my thoughts on each of them in case someone is looking to try another platform. We get my takes as well as chat's takes, and MikeWhob and I just can't seem to stop singing Trovo's praises...

We don't always think about the effect our words have on other people, especially innocent people who hear what we say. This episode is all about the Twitter drama regarding Twitch streamers, and how words affect not only people involved in the drama but also people who may end up getting dragged into something they wanted no part of.

This week we wrap up our GoMiCo series with our third key: Confidence! We discuss how some streamers are naturally confident, how some need that little extra boost from achieving their goals, and how the other two keys tie in with this one to create my philosophy.

Last week we covered the first of my three keys to success, Goals. This week let's take a look at the second key, Mindset. Mindset will cause everything to snowball, the issue is it can snowball in a positive AND a negative way. All depends on how you think.

Taking a page from my own (published) book, we're working our way through my GoMiCo philosophy these next few weeks! This week we're looking at goals and how to set them to be as achievable as possible.

Before we talked about negativity on the show in terms of viewers bringing it into chat, now let's talk about it in a couple different ways. How do you handle seeing your favorite streamers being negative live and on social media, and how do you think being negative live and on socials affects your viewers?

In my opinion, yes Partner is available to us all. No, not everyone will have the determination to make it however. Don't let others dissuade you from pursuing what you want to achieve!

How often do you see people on social media offering you "advice", or people reaching out to you during your stream to say something about your stream? It can get frustrating at times, especially when it's unwanted advice. How do you handle it??

It's the age-old question for streamers: do you stream the popular games that everyone else streams because you're hoping some of those hundreds of thousands of viewers will find your stream, or do you stream what you want and build a community around the different people who come to watch you play different games? I asked this on Twitter, and it got some good feedback that I had to share with you guys (plus my own views).

Raiding out after every stream and hosting streamers you watch are two huge networking and supporting tools. In this episode I talk about the benefits of using these tools and why you need to always raid after stream.
