Why Viewers Choose You

Passion: What is something you love talking with people about? Twitch connects enthusiasts with one another. Whether it’s discussing games, hobbies, or quirky interests, your audience will want to spend time with you. Skill: Are you at the top of the leaderboard for your favorite game? Share your expertise! Viewers love watching pros in action. Show off what makes you the best of the best and your community will cheer you on. Entertainment: Do you have the talent to bring sparkle and shine to your stream? Make each broadcast memorable. Lean on your talents to make your broadcast the "must watch" show on Twitch. Whether solo or performing alongside peers, your audience will be front row and center. Community-Focus: Are you great at bringing people together? Viewers want a space where they feel like they can belong. This is your opportunity to craft your own club. Memorable moments and great conversation will keep them coming back for more.

Why Should I View Myself as a Brand?

Your brand is what makes you unique, memorable, and sets the foundation for what audiences can expect. By thoughtfully creating and consistently presenting your brand you create a powerful tool for growth, recognition, and success.

1. Stand Out
A distinct brand will help you stand out in a densely populated creator economy. Develop a brand that communicates your unique value to potential viewers.

2. Communicate Identity & Content
Your brand should effectively convey who you are and the type of content you create. It sets expectations for your audience and attracts viewers who align with your style and interests. Clear branding helps viewers quickly identify if your content is right for them and their likelihood to return.

3. Build Recognition & Loyalty
Consistent branding across the internet and IRL creates a cohesive understanding for what you represent. This consistency makes you easy to identify, allowing people to find and follow you. Building familiarity results in stronger viewer loyalty and community building.

4. Professionalism
A well-developed brand gives your channel a professional look and can assist with attracting potential collaborators, sponsors, and partnerships. Excellent consistent branding shows dedication and indicates that you take content creation seriously.

TWITCH TIP:
Establishing a brand based on somebody else’s IP is short-sighted and may lead to issues of ownership in the future. Be mindful of external IP usage in username, logos, onscreen graphics, and Emotes.
