My name is Miracle and I go by the alias ‘Sirlucem’. I am a Nigerian streamer, gamer and content creator. I started streaming some weeks ago and it’s been marvellous.
I primarily stream Call of Duty, GTA V Online and Assassin’s Creed. I also stream other titles depending on what my audience wants.
I stream on twitch (instead of Facebook, Mixer or YouTube and I’ll give an explanation if you guys want to know why). The community has been great but it is sad that a lot of Nigerians can’t be online due to internet issues (both cost and availability).
To make my stream more available to everyone, I dropped stream quality to 720p 60 to make it friendlier to people with worse internet. I am also a Twitch Affiliate which means you can choose a different resolution to watch at (just like YouTube).
It would be great if you all would come around during the next stream and say hi in the chat. I really don’t care about my viewer count. I just want the 1-2 people in the chat. For now, my audience consists of mostly Europeans and North Americans, adding my own people to the mix seems like a good idea.
What else do you think I should do? How do you think I can promote my stream to a Nigerian audience and get them online?
Do you know any other Nigerian streamers, they don’t have to be living in Nigeria though. I already talk with Doxose, the FIFA pro that broke the world record for the longest hours streamed for FIFA.
I stream on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9pm Nigerian Time. You can join the stream on https://twitch.tv/sirlucem
PS: getting this to the homepage would be fabulous and drive more awareness.

Ah, a streamer. Nice to meet you, Miracle
Those are some great titles you got there.

Yes, sadly.

Well, I don't exactly know.. but I do have some growth tips (irrespective of audience);
- Set yourself goals.

- Stream consistently and frequently.

- Offer your audience value.

- Play the right titles.

- Interactivity.

- Use high-quality streaming equipment.

- Promote yourself on social media.

- Be unique.

- Run contests.

- Make use of bots.
Twitch's Moobot, for example, moderates the chat on your live stream for bad content, removing expletives and spam that will lower the quality of your posts. Moobot can also help you run giveaways and polls.

If you play your cards right, your channel's growth is imminent. It will also make a majority of your viewers regulars to your channel.
Interact and have fun.

Yeah.
The moderator of this section is even a streamer, as well.
Don't know if she got anything to say though.

Thank you for all that. I use very good quality stream equipment. the first on my upgrade is my Mic. I want to get a Blue Yeti branded one which will cost almost $100.
I am really clueless when it comes to social media interaction. yes, I post pictures and clips but that's just it. I'm clueless. I'm trying to learn how to market myself though.
I would really like to get in contact with Cao. Can someone make them see this? I don't know how the cc function works so I'm just gonna go cc: Cao.
Thank you for the tips, I'll make sure to implement them all.

Not something too hard.
Basically, you can just have a Facebook page that advertises your streams.

I would really like to get in contact with Cao. Can someone make them see this? I don't know how the cc function works so I'm just gonna go cc: Cao.

Yes, as long as you just mention the moniker.
The "cc" tag is just for formality. You can still mention the person without it.
Example, MiracleOparah.

Thank you for the tips, I'll make sure to implement them all.

No problem.
I'll be sure to check out your channel.

Following you on twitch

thanks

Err... you actually already talk to me on Twitch.

As for mics, I know I got a Blue Yeti awhile ago from a German (I think via Amazon or eBay) relatively cheap, you should consider buying second hand as well. I know it also goes on sale here in the UK, can't say how it is over there in the Ukraine.

delete it I've got the contact

Dude I'm a streamer too , I just started and tings don't seem as easy as they get . plus I wanted to ask you if twitch cab actually pay one via MasterCard or visa card or is it only paypal they use to pay . I would really love you to answer as quickly as possible thank you

Well, my schedule is non-existent. Although, I'm tempted to stream today. I know that sirlucem is back in school, so he's been busy.
