So I started hardcore casting again but I can't get any viewers!!
About winter last year I was giving casting a shot with the guys from TLNY. Unfortunately I got shafted when my school completely messed the network up and I couldn't play sc2 for a long time, and never could cast.
So what's changed? Well I graduated and made my way into the real world. Now I've got my own place, my own connection, and time where I can fit it. What have I done with it? Well I started reaching out for gigs and wherever I could go do live stuff. I casted a few replays and threw em up on my YouTube but they kinda sucked. I was way outta practice. In October I met up with the guy from ALT StarCraft who hosts tourneys on z33k. Now I do their Pro Arena on Wednesdays at 715... but I still get hardly 20 viewers. Its a darn good tourney, we get high masters and gms but no one watches...
Now I'm back though, tl. I'm back with a vengeance and not just SC2, I'm doing LoL now too. I just started playing that but I'm so overjoyed to cast that too. Don't worry I will never quit sc2 for LoL casting if I can help it.
What do you want out of your casters? What can I do to get more viewers?
Check out my YouTube and lemme know, or my twitch tonight for live action

Cheers!

Just keep doing it, the now established casters started with 20 viewers a day for a few weeks, then slowly went up... So just keep going and enjoy it 
|
There's nothing I enjoy more!

If you are a good caster more viewers will come in eventually. Continue presenting your work (what you cast, when, how, blabla).
I dont follow SC2, so I dont know if you used to be famous or something, but reading the bitching already made you look not good. Remove the bitching about 'no viewers' from your future postings, so new people don't get you wrong.
|
make it so you that your links are clickable, people are lazy (me included)
|
If you enjoy it, the viewers will come.
They won't come immediately, but you'll have improved by the time they do and you'll have bigger gigs because you have a presentable history.

Keep at it man. I was watching MrBitter since the double digit viewer days. If you provide a good product, people will come.

Hey man don't stress about something like this. I tried casting as well, and while that didn't work out as expected, I made a video about a sc2 trick nobody's seen before and since then I've been steadily getting subs. I know it's not a lot at all, but at least there's an improvement.
Don't worry at all how many people view your videos, as long as you enjoy what you do. Though people seem to prefer custom games like Phantom and Fastest Map Possible over my other videos. So try some custom matches! Cast a wonky FFA or just a funny game that you think people would get a laugh out of.
Good luck dude, and don't forget to never stop doing what you enjoy.

You're right, Fabiano, I shouldn't have worded it as such. I just thought I was doing something a bit wrong and thus no one stayed to watch.
|
Checked your channel your really good I wonder how come more people don't watch you.
Didn't play Starcraft 2 for sometime now but after watching your videos I want to start again :D
I subbed to you channel and will put it in favorite channels on my youtube channel. My channel is small but maybe I can at least help a little anyways good job I hope you keep making new videos!

Ok first, cast more known players.
Second, try to make yourself "different" than the known casters. For instance, introduce a themed cast of the week (for instance, do a LAGTV type cast or accept unknown lower league players that have a good, funny, or strange/interesting game).
Third, if none of that works, you can try analysis type things or provide insight into lower level games once in a while (have replays submitted, pick a winner/hold a contest once in a while and maybe give out a gift card or something). Maybe hold FFA/Monobattle matches with subscribers once a month and have that work out.
Just some helpful ideas. I'll go watch and subscribe to you though. I wish you luck in your endeavors. Casting is hard to become "popular" to be honest. People like Halbystarcraft, he did his own thing and supported himself through the battle.net forums. But he has his own niche. Find your own niche and don't try to be overly complicated. I hope that my ideas are helpful

Anything that engages the audience will likely increase your viewer count. I remember a few months ago when catspajama was doing weekly king of the hills picked from the viewers in the chat channel. While the viewer count was only at around 50-60, he established a base of viewers who are likely to watch out for his stream in the future.

watched first vid on youtube and in the first few min you said "we do have" over 9 thousand times..
Your going to lose a lot of people really quick if you don't fix stuff like that!
That being said good luck, il be following you :D

You have a good casting voice, just keep practicing casting and also playing when you can to keep your game knowledge fresh
