It's All in the Name

I rushed to pump out game play footage of a new non linear story based game called Her Story as I wanted to be one of the first to play it and get videos up. The game is everything I thought it would be and more. I fiended on it all day! I was one of the first to stream it on Twitch and post game play on YouTube as I wanted but I wasn't getting the views I thought I would. When I posted the new episode of Game of Thrones, even a day late, I got tons of views because it was new but I wasn't hitting anywhere near those numbers on Her Story. I realized it was probably the title. I called the videos Her Story Episode #. New viewers weren't finding it on the search page as people tend to search for gameplay or let's play. I changed the names of all the videos to Luckless Lovelocks Let's Play Her Story Episode # and bam the number of views more than doubled in an hour and the views are still coming on strong! It's all about marketing. The name is really there to get people to watch while being descriptive. If you want to see my game play it's here

Sir Action Slacks Viewer Bomb

It didn't take long to top my top streaming night. Last week while I was streaming dota 2 I suddenly received several followers and then my chat was flooded with messages. I noticed Sir Action Slacks, a Dota 2 celebrity who built himself up from nothing, in my chat and quickly realized he was stream bombing me! All of a sudden I went from 8 to 263 people watching me play a hero I'm not very good with at 5am after already streaming since 7pm!!!!!! Some funny fails and my charming personality and streaming stamina seemed to make an impression as I kept a solid 50 viewers through until about 11am and I consistently get some of these viewers watching me still. Shout out to Sir Action Slacks for doing this and I encourage other partnered streamers to do the same and make someone's day!

The Odd Effect

Wow! Best night of streaming ever! One of my favourite YouTubers Christopher Odd and his friend Mystic joined me and my buddies for a couple of games of Dota 2. It was both surreal and exciting to play with someone that got me into streaming. It also got a bunch of people watching the stream and I think my YouTube channel as I've gotten a bump in viewership on both! Thanks Chris you're awesome and a good Dota player be sure and support his YouTube channel which I linked above! I also had fun during my first Follower Friday. I taught a couple of people how to play Dota 2 and Heroes of the Storm which I really enjoyed. Not sure how well I did but looking forward to helping more people out!
