I am looking for a popular developer who is trying to make some extra money by giving me some exposure to my family friendly ROBLOX livestream on twitch. What I’m looking for is to find someone with a decent Roblox/ Social Media following who would post on Twitter, Roblox, etc. a couple days in advance and the day of saying when to watch the stream, and to create a simple cosmetic item (example: A reskinned knife that says “Star6ix”) for their game and let me give out the code for the item in my stream to all viewers watching at that time. I am willing to pay .50 cents per follower gained up to $1,500. Also I am offering %50 of revenue earned for the month of streaming the promotion happened as well. Contact me on discord if you are interested “StarMarine614#7400”
This is a terrible idea, especially if you want to grow your Twitch following organically.
My channel is growing at a steady rate as it is, I don’t NEED to do this but I have a decent income from ROBLOX and work to make it happen so why not?

You are going to pay someone, to tell their followers, to watch your stream, because you want followers.
I see that, but this really is not the way to grow your channel. It will really hurt you, especially in the long run.
Here’s the thing:
-
This is all well and good - people will go onto your channel, follow, maybe watch for 1-2 minutes. But then, they’ll leave. Because this isn’t what they want. You cannot force someone, no matter how much money you pay, to watch your live stream.
-
You have 1,216 followers, yet only 6 of them were watching when I came into your channel, including myself. Although it was a rerun, still, it was live, people would tune in.
This creates shallow followers, which are those who are following your channel but not actually a follower. They will never tune in, just forget about you, yet stay subscribed.
My channel is growing at a steady rate as it is
If your channel is growing at a steady rate already, let it continue, there’s no need to do this, it’s throwing money down the drain. Grow organically, then you’ll have a loyal community who want to watch you.
Twitch and YouTube cannot be gamed. It’s a long, hard, steady road.
Focus on building your community.
PS: I’d advise against Robux giveaways. They’re frowned upon and against TOS
It’s an interesting idea, but the fundamental problem is one of engagement–if 1,000 people come to your channel and follow, how many of those people will ever come back for another stream? The number might be inflated, but engagement won’t change much. That’s the difference between forced/paid and organic growth: the strength of the relationship between the viewer and your channel. That’s the reason YouTube channels will explode to 50,000 subscribers and more because of a shout-out, yet barely bring in a thousand views per video.
I thank you for your concern. I have had a big channel before on Twitch even had blog articles about it: (Roblox Blog - All the latest news direct from Roblox employees.) With 500+ viewers at a time. This isn’t my first time starting a channel. I understand the concept that people show up and will never come back. If you went to my channel right now I am running reruns which no one really watches. But if you come to my streaming during its hottest hours i usually have 50+ viewers currently. I still want to do this though, just to get a little jump. I appreciate your feedback and advice though.
I disagree with this. Here is why, When i implemented the announcement system for phantom forces, we consistently announced a guys twitch, even though he played other games sometimes, just the fact many users saw the channel, a % of the users who viewed the channel subscribed, and now watch his stream for other games other than Phantom forces. It’s about the streamers personality in my point of view.
He went from basically unknown to a partnered twitch all from our announcement system, no doubt about it that it was because of our shoutouts. Mind you, we didn’t create custom items.
To me this is nothing more than just a experiment. Either I get a ton of new followers and no one shows up ever again, or I get a ton of new followers and get a decent amount of active new viewers to talk to their friends about my stream and what I do.
I don’t think you’re getting the point.
What happened to those 500 viewers?
Why would you take a quick fix to make everything look good right now?
It’ll come back and knock you down. You cannot throw money at this and think it’ll fix everything.
It’s like a dopamine hit. You’ll have your peaks, your tons of viewers. But then they’ll just drop off, you’ll be back to this:
no one really watches
It’s an experiment, OK, but it will still hurt you in the long term, you’ll regret it.
When you see you have tens of thousands of followers, but hardly anyone that still tunes in. That’s discouraging.
Roblox twitch streams have all but died at this point, not even the next level reaches over a hundred when I’ve seen it live.
Subscribed, OK, but how many stayed?
The reason he probably got popular was because PF has so many players, that there’s constantly people coming in, coming out. Subscribing, leaving. The constant flow of players stabilises that view count, making everything look good.
The way to grow a twitch channel or a youtube channel, is to build a community. Not to throw money at it and hope that you’ll hit that social media star fandom.

Absolutely. As someone who has streamed on that channel, it is an absolute wreckage to say the least. 1M+ subs, <100 watching per time.
Yes, lots of traffic, from roblox.com and other social links, but it’s people just checking in, subscribing because it’s official account, and leaving.
He consistantly gets hundreds of viewers now every stream, without anymore announcements. Also reached 28k subs.
One of the people I streamed with helped me set up the account and he decided he wanted to take the account for himself. When I reported what happened to twitch they deleted the account, and refused to help me get it back. But that is besides the point.
Who is it? If you don’t mind me asking.
This is who I am talking about

Oh okay! I watched that guy a few times! Hes pretty cool
I see his stream. But remember, there are other factors which would’ve contributed to this. He does varied content, his other games will bring in viewers. But, you have to build that community and grow organically to bring in an audience. It’s no doubt that a large % of the PF folk would’ve tuned in, then gone. Why watch, when you can play yourself? The point here is that you should not be throwing large sums of money at a small, developing channel which should be growing naturally. I do not believe that PF’s exposure launched his Twitch career. He is now partnered, which means that he is open to more promotion.
Doesn’t matter - loyal communities will follow you anywhere. Channels with followers that are sent via paid promotion are disconnected from the streamer, the majority will leave. You cannot force somebody to watch something, no matter the incentive.
I mean that happened in 2014. I don’t expect people to be loyal when I went MIA for 4 years.
