Episode 2978

Building a loyal audience for any creative venture takes time, and sometimes it feels like you hit a plateau. That’s where today’s question comes from—a college student who’s been streaming on Twitch for a year but hasn’t seen much growth recently.

I’ve also seen others grow by using TikTok, but I’m not confident in making short-form content. What’s the best way to grow my audience and turn this into a sustainable side hustle? "
