Having good content on your stream is always the most important aspect of growing your stream, but how do you know if the content you are producing is being well received? Stats are a great way of finding out what works and what doesn’t. The problem is that many streamers rarely, if ever, look at their stats. Over the next couple of weeks and blog posts, I will be doing a series on why stats are important and how broadcasters can use them to effectively grow their stream. Today’s post will focus on the basics of why stats are important. Think of this post as your starter guide to understanding the world of stats!
Why Do Stats Matter?
So why care about stats? Why would knowing the stats behind my stream give me any advantage over someone who doesn’t use them? Stats are the tools that tell you what you’re doing right/wrong. Say you’re testing out a new schedule and you want to see how well the stream performed during different parts of the night… stats will give you that answer. Or maybe there’s a certain part of a game that has more active chatters than another… stats will answer those questions too. If you’re not looking at this information, you’re throwing away valuable tools that will help you fix the mistakes.
