When you’re starting off your broadcast, you’re not going to have any viewers. That’s the nature of the beast… that’s what happens to everybody. Some people are like, ‘I’m not cut out for Twitch because I have zero viewers!,’ when it’s like your first, third, tenth stream. That’s the commonplace… if you’re sitting at zero viewers, you’re actually in the majority…. What you want to do to get out of this initial rut… is to get real life friends and family to watch your broadcast. Tell them about what Twitch is… you want them to be familiar with Twitch etiquette, generally speaking… if they’re gamers or Twitch users, then mod them. Let them know the pure basics of what you want from modding.
