01:38

the stream ends uh anyways um let me be

01:41

really clear I am not trying to like rip

01:43

on the guy who made this book from the

01:45

little bit of skimming I did it actually

01:47

seems really well made and well written

01:48

and thoughtful and you know good for

01:49

somebody I think particularly who's like

01:51

not super familiar with how twitch works

01:52

and everything so not trying to rag on

01:53

the author here I just think it'll be

01:55

funny to compare me who's a [ __ ]

01:57

weirdo to all of the advice in this book

01:59

any questions stop pirating the book and

02:01

not only did I not pirate the book I

02:03

bought it twice I bought the physical

02:05

version and then realized I can't show

02:06

this to you guys stole the book you

02:08

wouldn't download a book I did download

02:11

a book it's right here none of you guys

02:13

seem to understand how laws work at all

02:15

arrest him I'm showing you the cover of

02:17

the book you can [ __ ] Google this

02:19

okay let me kick this off what chapters

02:21

do you think are going to be relevant

02:22

for us grading My Stream So chapter one

02:24

is about like basically what twitch is

02:26

how to get into it chapter two is how to

02:28

stream on a console now really relevant

02:30

to me chapter 3 making First Impressions

02:32

I think this is good I think we go here

02:34

right creating a complete twitch Channel

02:36

like let's make sure I have a complete

02:37

twitch channel in accordance with twitch

02:39

for dummies right that's probably a good

02:41

start let me read it this is a terrible

02:43

idea cuz I'm just reading from a book

02:45

that you can't read this chapter making

02:46

First Impressions appears to be about

02:48

the info panel and I've got an info

02:50

panel I'm going to [ __ ] absolutely

02:51

Get an A+ in this one you're probably

02:53

realizing that this you know I should

02:54

have classes on for this you're probably

02:55

realizing there's a good amount you

02:57

should know before setting off on your

02:58

first stream yes maybe seeing other

03:00

twitch channels and Men you think I can

03:01

do this first impressions though are a

03:03

truly delicate thing all right I'm not

03:05

going to read every single thing uh this

03:07

is now talking about the Xbox console

03:09

again CH okay all right here we go here

03:10

we go creating an info panel this is

03:12

what we're going to be graded on when

03:14

people click on your name to visit and

03:15

hopefully follow you your channel should

03:17

tell them something about you about your

03:18

stream and about your approach to the

03:20

platform info panels are blocks of real

03:22

estate oh I think that's these things

03:23

right this is all by the way you guys

03:25

are going to grade me on my panels this

03:27

is going to be a category First

03:28

Impressions presumably all of you have

03:29

had a first impression of me at some

03:31

point I don't know how you would have

03:32

not had that so every single person here

03:34

is able to give a great hold on my

03:36

panels are actually pretty good the

03:37

first panel is an ad well listen to

03:39

maybe his suggestion is that the panel

03:41

should be an ad for factor using Code

03:43

Doug duug to get 50% off your first

03:44

order please just hear it out all right

03:46

if you're looking for a few idea for

03:47

info panels I suggest the following

03:48

streamers bio streaming schedule rules

03:51

for chat social media links yeah okay

03:53

the rest of it is about the logistics of

03:54

setting up panels so let's quickly look

03:56

through this I think the panels I have

03:58

are actually pretty good first off I

03:59

hate you with Factor everybody loves

04:01

Factor start with an ad that's like

04:02

arguably the most important thing about

04:03

me you guys know this I love ads next I

04:05

talk about my schedule this is good

04:06

stuff right here I generally stream

04:08

between two and four times a week

04:09

between Sunday and Thursday this is kind

04:10

of mostly true I feel like it's

04:13

Friday yeah you're right huh okay

04:15

donating there's a lot of money based

04:17

stuff right off the bat okay chat rules

04:19

this is good links I have two contact

04:21

emails I have an FAQ page which says my

04:24

full name is Doug douglas douglas McDon

04:27

it says I'm 30 it says I live in

04:29

Washington here I say I don't have a

04:31

schedule and then I think all of this

04:34

stuff is out of date oh this is way

04:36

outdated all right I think look memes I

04:39

know everybody's trying to fail me I

04:40

think there's other areas where I'll

04:41

fail I would argue hear me out I am

04:43

actually pretty good in terms of panels

04:45

First Impressions when you come like

04:46

let's do Incognito right if you're a

04:48

brand new viewer and you go to

04:49

twitch.tv/ dgdg you're like oh I heard

04:51

this guy is so cool and hot oh God this

04:53

is a disaster okay this is covering up

04:55

the entire twitch chat animated emotes I

04:57

don't know how to do that it's

04:59

recommending bunch of random [ __ ] and

05:00

then if you scroll down you get hit with

05:02

a factor ad I feel like this is pretty

05:03

good what grade for First Impressions I

05:06

feel like that's a solid B+ maybe a

05:08

minus dude this is not an F it's so

05:11

outdated though yeah I guess it is

05:12

pretty outdated all right

05:13

congratulations to me I am officially

05:15

passing First Impressions any notes on

05:18

this outdated wait wait hold on here's

05:20

what we'll do with grading whichever one

05:21

wins that's the grade I get so it was

05:23

like this right A C but then the next

05:25

highest grade is lower then it would be

05:27

a c minus if the next highest grade is

05:29

above C it would be a C+ right so that

05:31

way the other votes still influence it

05:32

to some degree right it would be a c

05:34

minus for First Impressions still

05:35

passing though all right let's talk

05:36

about chapter 4 is there anything in

05:38

here we need to review planning a stream

08:45

miss an episode you don't want to wait

08:46

till all the episodes have dropped you

08:48

want to watch the series in real time

08:49

when each episode is live um we got to

08:52

vote on that I don't agree with that at

08:53

all do you watch episodes as they come

08:56

out or wait till they're all out I am

08:58

very much a b I hate having to like

09:00

watch one episode and then stop it's the

09:02

worst [ __ ] really you watch Survivor

09:04

weekly okay I agree that watching it

09:07

live for shows where you're following

09:08

with your friends is good cuz then you

09:10

like talk about each thing but for me

09:12

when I watch an episode of a show I'm

09:14

really into like an anime or True

09:15

Detective and there's like a hook at the

09:17

end that's really [ __ ] good I despise

09:20

the idea that I can't get to the

09:21

conclusion of the story I want to know

09:23

how the story goes and it just tortures

09:25

me it's awful it's just edging it's

09:27

edging for like 3 months instead of just

09:29

binging it in one or two days you know

09:31

what I mean like I don't like that

09:32

anyways all right so technically T

09:34

Morris is correct most people prefer to

09:36

watch the episodes live I am shocked by

09:39

that response but so be it is that why

09:40

you haven't read one piece no no no I

09:41

haven't read one piece cuz it's bad

09:43

common misconception I'm going to read

09:44

this from the book I think this is a

09:46

quote that I'm sharing I don't think

09:47

he's going to love the way that I stream

09:49

now try to imagine how infuriating it

09:52

would be if the broadcaster aired your

09:54

show whenever it felt like it maybe it

09:56

would play on Mondays but then it would

09:57

pop up on Thursdays because that works

09:59

out best for a week or two oh instead of

10:00

airing at 8:00 p.m. it suddenly airs at

10:02

3:30 because why not not a great start

10:04

for me I'm going to be honest with you

10:06

your schedule isn't necessarily set in

10:07

stone but you should create a core group

10:09

of days when you know you will stream

10:11

and then do what you can to stick to it

10:13

okay my core group of days is Sunday

10:15

through Friday and Saturday sometimes

10:17

that I feel like I'm actually fine there

10:18

I appreciate the 15 of you who believe

10:21

that I get an A in schedule you showing

10:23

us the book is piracy you are forcing us

10:26

into piracy yo ho yo ho a pirate's life

10:29

for we I am showing you quotes and

10:30

passages while citing the source which

10:32

is Twitch for dummies by T mors or in

10:34

this

10:35

case okay I get I get a f the author

10:38

replied on your Tweet with a video team

10:41

moris I'm so sorry for not following the

10:43

instructions oh wait wait oh wait hold

10:44

10:45

author so hi everyone uh I I I just got

10:49

10:53

outs and and all the tweets that I'm

10:55

being tweeted and retweeted in you're

10:58

11:00

11:07

be live tonight at 7:30 you're more than

11:09

welcome to join me but um yeah oh [ __ ]

11:11

okay yeah it literally said wrapping up

11:13

I missed the section about rating I was

11:15

so close we need to raid all right

11:17

everybody get in the car we're going to

11:18

raid t- Morris uh raid the t- monster

11:22

okay this way technically I was correct

11:25

kind of with that tweet all right you

11:26

guys head over there give him a follow

11:28

and then ideally you know you come back

11:30

to my stream because of how good of a

11:32

streamer I am remember bye forever don't

11:35

leave me it didn't I know he's offline

11:37

but I have to I have to follow the rules

11:39

all right I did the thing he's online

11:41

okay wait did did he actually go live

11:44

well hi everyone not sure who you all

11:46

are but hi just trying to figure out

11:49

what is going on I'm assuming many of

11:52

you are here from uh I believe it's Doug

11:54

Doug Foods Channel and thank you oh

11:56

that's awesome I'll give him a follow I

11:58

understood that there was a raid going

11:59

going on which is amazing because I

12:00

wasn't live at the time and of course

12:02

one of the biggest raids I've ever

12:04

gotten I just actually revamped my

12:05

stream Monday I do spooky games and Dam

12:09

he's so good I do the Sci-Fi Saturday

12:12

that's a streamer right there chat so

12:13

what else can you see on my stream cats

12:15

he's got cats on stream God what can't

12:18

t- monster do I'm not even being

12:19

factious it's like a really good stream

12:21

all right so he's going back into his

12:22

main content if you want to check that

12:23

out go to the toner.com I don't want to

12:25

just sit here and like I mean I could

12:26

have a stream just in the corner the

12:27

whole time but no I'm not going to do

12:29

that he's so much better than you well

12:30

look can we all agree at least that once

12:32

he goes Offline that you'll come back to

12:33

me you'll come crawling back to Old Doug

12:36

right you still I mean it's not that bad

12:38

of a stream 2,000 people haven't come

12:41

back damn it why did I make the mistake

12:43

of showing them T moner this is like if

12:45

you're like dating somebody and then you

12:46

show them your best friend and then

12:47

suddenly they're dating your best friend

12:49

and you're locked out right you like

12:51

ruin your whole relationship I can't

12:52

keep introducing you guys to new people

12:53

I'm never going to mention another

12:54

streamer again live cucking all right we

12:57

got to move on do you guys have any

12:58

notes for schedule that we're putting in

13:00

my report card notes are T monster is

13:03

better all right all right all right

13:05

let's find a new chapter chapter 6

13:07

improving your stream being your own

13:08

harshest critic let me set the stage

13:10

here you've streamed a few times you

13:12

feel like you're finding a Groove and

13:13

now you've returned here for more tips

13:15

welcome back after a couple gaming

13:16

sessions you may be working on that

13:18

balance between you your game and your

13:19

chat maybe you've managed to keep the

13:20

schedule you've set for yourself such a

13:22

tight schedule that scientists could

13:24

calibrate astronomical instruments by it

13:26

not exactly but it has felt somewhat

13:28

difficult to find the viewers the

13:29

numbers just aren't there I mean my

13:31

viewers are really low right now cuz I

13:32

sent them all to t- monster and most

13:34

people haven't come back the inherent

13:35

problem with streaming popular games is

13:37

you guessed it popularity yes you're

13:39

streaming the popular strategy game

13:40

League of Legends but depending on the

13:41

time of day and what's happening in

13:42

twitch hundreds or thousands of others

13:44

are also streaming it popularity is a

13:46

double-edged sword and it may yield

13:47

mixed if not disappointing results all

13:49

right let's look at my stream breakdown

13:50

of like what games I have streamed on

13:52

Twitch the most popular games right now

13:54

let's browse just chatting GTA 5 League

13:56

of Legends FIFA by comparison let us

13:58

look at my list okay just chatting GTA 5

14:01

Skyrim pegle novel High more pegle these

14:04

are getting more obscure Pajama Sam

14:06

Freddy fish 3 I mean these are some of

14:08

the classics horse when did I play 2.4

14:12

hours of farming simulator I have no

14:14

idea what hair salon was you fell off

14:17

after hair salon average I played 15

14:19

minutes of it what is this what is hair

14:21

hair salon the game this doesn't exist

14:24

what was this I don't understand what's

14:25

happening oh wait wait hold on streaming

14:27

retro games this is good this is

14:28

relevant for Pajama Sam for sure pros of

14:30

streaming retro games summed up in a

14:32

single word nostalgia watching modern

14:34

day Gamers play Classics from the early

14:35

days is just plain fun I mean I didn't

14:37

technically Play Pajama Sam wait what

14:39

did we learn this is we've been all over

14:40

the place I don't remember I was busy at

14:42

t- monsters choosing what games to

14:43

stream and reviewing your streams

14:45

overall impression that was what we're

14:46

gring this feels like a category I

14:48

actually do well in right I have a mix

14:49

of popular games like Grand Theft Auto

14:52

or talking or pegle plus mixed with old

14:54

things that like retro type stuff that

14:56

makes it more Niche cuz then I can

14:57

capture the audience that is is looking

14:59

for Pajama Sam content and a vote for f

15:01

is a vote that pegle is an F just to be

15:03

clear thank you finally twitch chat

15:05

agrees that I'm incredible as a streamer

15:07

in every way in the category of choosing

15:09

games any

15:12

notes bells and whistles n addon

15:14

creating an introductory imager video

15:16

assigning moderators working with I

15:18

don't think we need any of this oh wait

15:19

yeah we don't I don't have any mods

15:21

because I banned them all because I made

15:23

a bot that allowed regular viewers to

15:26

sacrifice themselves to take down the

15:28

mods I damn quick sparse no we lost the

15:32

last mod oops hold on we got to look at

15:34

the mod section Channel moderators even

15:36

if you made use of bots there's still a

15:37

need for people real people to assist

15:39

you with your stream these are people

15:41

who are responsible these are people you

15:42

know these are people you trust let's do

15:44

a test our two mods right now are

15:46

solcius and roach roach your favorite

15:49

movie I'm going to guess this year Lord

15:50

of the Rings that's your favorite movie

15:52

series of all time yes or no oh my God

15:54

you're so right really okay I do know my

15:55

mods I've never seen it God damn it okay

15:58

well well anyways I don't think you

16:00

necessarily need to know like everything

16:01

about mods it's more of a mutual trust

16:03

moderators are the individuals who pick

16:05

up the sword and defend your chat hey uh

16:07

mods I need some defense can you kill a

16:09

guy just kill anybody I need defense

16:11

from my mods I'm so scared help me mods

16:14

the best defense is a good offense just

16:16

kind of take a couple out back yeah okay

16:17

yeah there we go all right yeah just

16:18

keep killing a few more people I I'm so

16:20

scared and helpless when wielding the

16:22

moderator badge the individual has a

16:23

responsibility to enforce the rule oh

16:25

the rules oh never mind guys stop

16:27

killing people it's supposed to just be

16:28

based on on the rules if somebody breaks

16:29

a rule then kill them or whatever as a

16:31

mod you're taking on the responsibility

16:32

of someone else's chat and you're

16:34

participating while at the same time

16:35

offering a degree of lenience when

16:37

people visiting a stream are critical of

16:38

how you play I give that polite warning

16:40

of I see you and then it's a game of

16:42

where the exchange goes mods can you

16:43

just kind of tag a bunch of people all

16:45

right I'm seeing roach is just sort of

16:46

killing people randomly um can you also

16:48

at a bunch of people and just say I see

16:50

you in all caps I feel like that'll help

16:53

build a lot of trust oh no they see us

16:56

oh Mano you've been seeing Eric Burger

16:59

you've been spotted look out cuz you

17:01

guys need to remember every one of my

17:03

moderators is an eye of Sauron who

17:05

glares down at the viewers and if he

17:07

catches you if he looks directly at you

17:09

then you're [ __ ] and the mod will take

17:11

you down out back and ban you that's how

17:13

much trust we've built up it's all based

17:15

off of roach's favorite movie we need

17:17

more mods well we're going to get more

17:18

mods in like a day when they're all

17:20

unbanned all right so in terms of

17:22

moderation Chad how do you feel we're

17:24

doing I think we have a solid team of

17:25

mods there's a strong degree of trust

17:27

and they are looking directly at you

17:29

they are still for your consideration

17:31

randomly Banning people all right hey

17:34

great job Ms thank you for boosting the

17:36

score it's an official a minus

17:38

congratulations any notes for

17:40

mods I wonder what the team monster will

17:42

think about you Banning 4,000 of your

17:44

viewers for 12 [ __ ] days I'm still

17:47

banned until Sunday [ __ ] you God speed

17:50

you beautiful beautiful we're losing so

17:53

many people D there's probably a section

17:55

about how that's a good thing you got to

17:57

keep your viewers in line all right look

17:58

so far straight up passing great let's

18:01

keep going part three leveling up with

18:03

twitch is leveling with two L's huh did

18:05

not know that interesting I mean I knew

18:07

that oh this okay this is how I'm

18:09

supposed to introduce streams all right

18:10

let's take a quick look at a typical

18:11

stream intro from

18:16

[Music]

18:20

me what

18:22

up that seemed pretty good let's get

18:24

into it how you handle your introduction

18:25

is up to you but think about how to make

18:27

a strong first impression and craft a

18:29

cool

18:31

intro sup when you go live you're

18:33

establishing yourself as a personality

18:35

that people will enjoy and anxiously

18:36

wait for it to go live

18:40

again Su you want that first impression

18:42

to be a positive one so you have to work

18:44

on

18:45

it Su when it comes to an introduction

18:47

you should always include the following

18:49

the stream's name if it has one the the

18:52

name of your stream

18:53

host sup a quick introduction of who you

18:56

are and what you're planning to do up is

18:58

the stre working it's not showing up for

18:59

me any possible changes to your schedule

19:01

for the day hello and welcome to another

19:05

episode of

19:07

[Music]

19:08

Doug and I'm perfectly on time for

19:11

example this is a potential opening to a

19:13

stream that I should be doing good

19:15

evening chat you're gaming with the t-

19:17

monster how are you this Titan Taco

19:19

Tuesday I hope it was a good start to

19:21

the day for those of you new to the

19:22

stream you can call me tea or t- Monster

19:24

or twitch Dad I am a Science Fiction and

19:26

Fantasy author I'm a podcaster and I

19:28

play

19:29

[Music]

19:33

Destiny so I feel like there's a lot of

19:36

info that you can glean from sub all

19:38

right cool a minus what else we got oh

19:40

okay this section is about responding to

19:42

chat that's like a really really

19:43

important one getting good at

19:44

multitasking responding to chat when

19:46

you've nailed down or roughed out your

19:47

approach to your introduction you have

19:48

to figure out how to fill your stream

19:50

with content conversation invites

19:51

participation from chat and also draws

19:52

those new to your chat into the

19:53

community you're building the real

19:55

question how do you hold conversations

19:56

with chat while gaming I don't know I do

19:59

need to learn this your chat should

20:00

understand though this is going to be

20:01

really important I bet so please listen

20:03

stop being upset at me when you have

20:04

hundreds of people in your chat gets a

20:05

little difficult to catch everyone's

20:06

greetings questions or comments usually

20:08

any intention arising from Miss comments

20:09

is disarmed the H says sorry if I missed

20:12

your comments in chat this game can get

20:14

a little crazy do I read your chat

20:17

messages there's four people you've

20:20

never read a single one of my messages

20:22

well sorry if I missed your comments in

20:24

chat this game can get a little crazy

20:25

all you accepted by the way I know a lot

20:28

of people have been upset cuz I've been

20:29

looking at the comments on the YouTube

20:31

Bobs and people have mentioned that they

20:32

want YouTube chat to actually have more

20:34

visibility cuz I'm basically not reading

20:36

any of the comments ever with the

20:37

YouTube chat at that point it's like why

20:38

am I even streaming on YouTube in the

20:40

first place and to that I just want to

20:41

say sorry if I missed your comments in

20:43

chat this game can get a little crazy

20:45

cool now right we want equal rights I'm

20:48

going to kind of ignore whatever else

20:49

you're saying I don't care I feel like I

20:51

do an okay job at replying to chat

20:53

messages and consider this at least 90%

20:56

of what you guys say is total [ __ ]

20:57

so it's not really on me right okay this

20:59

might be the first F minus you ignore me

21:02

unless I give you money just like my

21:04

family POG I'm trying there's a lot of

21:08

children here next section let's take a

21:09

look at how my stream typically ends

21:12

here we go oh no okay this this is a

21:15

pretty good way to end the stream I mean

21:17

I don't even know and then it ended cuz

21:20

somebody killed it that's a pretty good

21:21

ending what about the last

21:24

ending oh damn it

21:29

I feel like my outros are pretty decent

21:30

putting together your closing comments

21:31

is no different from putting together an

21:33

intro same approach only you're doing at

21:34

the end so with your earlier suggestions

21:36

for intros in mind here are a few ideas

21:37

to consider for an ending right then I'm

21:39

calling it a stream it's your support

21:40

that helps this shut the [ __ ] up I'm

21:42

doing an outro stop thank you everyone

21:45

for the love and support I'll see you

21:46

all tomorrow night 8:00 p.m. Eastern and

21:47

we'll be back with more Destiny take

21:49

care of yourselves I don't feel like I'm

21:50

that far off to be honest finally the

21:52

stream is over no no no that was a fake

21:54

that was a fake outro you guys still

21:55

have to stay here no I I want to be

21:57

clear I'm not playing Destiny at 8:00

21:58

p.m. tomorrow there's like a birthday

22:00

party I'm going to be at I'm not I

22:01

22:03

to have to move it we're moving it to

22:05

22:07

and Detroit become human next week sorry

22:09

about not playing Destiny 2 tomorrow

22:11

this game can get crazy you lied to us

22:14

we can get a backup okay come on three

22:17

two

22:19

one it's a perfect tie what do we do I

22:22

guess it's to

22:23

see so does this mean no Titan Taco

22:26

Tuesday then guys we're not going to re

22:28

vote I know literally one vote would

22:30

have made the difference I am also

22:31

canceling Titan Taco Tuesday I don't

22:34

even know what that means okay there's

22:35

more things to learn about chapter 12

22:37

from Hobby to side hustle to full-time

22:39

job finding money-making opportunities I

22:41

want to know that I want to finally

22:43

22:46

22:53

channel so please don't skip them wait

22:54

can you skip ads on Twitch is that a

22:56

thing have you guys been skipping them

22:57

do you get to the District very often

22:59

the team monster thank you so much for

23:01

the raid I hope you had a great stream

23:02

wait is there something in the book

23:03

about what I should say when I get a

23:04

raid there probably is that's what I

23:06

normally say but that's probably not

23:07

even the right thing team moner thanks

23:08

for writing the book this book this has

23:10

been a lot of fun to go through I don't

23:11

think you necessarily need my book

23:12

you're doing just fine it's fun

23:14

comparing what is I would say good

23:16

advice for somebody starting streaming

23:18

with the disaster that is my stream case

23:21

in point expressing yourself with emotes

23:23

these tiny images of hype and Mischief

23:24

serve as ambassadors to your channel and

23:26

should be something your subs enjoy

23:27

using both in your chat in the chat of

23:29

other streamers the problem is that we

23:30

did a stream where twitch chat lost

23:32

YouTube chat so I took away all their

23:35

emotes except the toad one it's just

23:36

YouTube or

23:38

twitch YouTube get it oh get [ __ ] twitch

23:42

I have 60 open slots and 60 animated

23:45

slots it's just all unused I have had a

23:48

very good time highlighting all the like

23:50

severe deficiencies with my stream uh

23:53

now that we've got lots of toad emotes I

23:54

guess should we just should we vote on

23:56

emotes as a category we also have

23:57

Revenue opportunities so we talked about

24:00

ads hold on let me skip ahead to the

24:01

other ways to earn money so we'll do

24:03

emotes and earning money as a category

24:05

and we'll lump those together whether

24:06

you have solid gaming skills Vibrant

24:07

Community or combination you may be able

24:08

to land product sponsorship for your

24:10

stream okay wait wait wait hold on are

24:11

there examples for how to do the sponsor

24:13

oh okay this is just about reaching out

24:15

to sponsors unfortunately guys there's

24:16

no info in the book about like how to do

24:19

a sponsorship so I will just do kind of

24:21

my best shot here buy Factor you cheap

24:25

[ __ ] buy it right now

24:29

all right that should work anyway so in

24:30

terms of sponsorships and viewer rewards

24:34

24:36

get an F that one's probably deserved to

24:37

be honest all right let's uh let's get

24:39

into what I think is the lack section

24:41

24:42
