Hey, it’s Harry.

Welcome back to another week of the streaming and content journey and welcome to the first edition of 2024.

⭐ SavageMike Destroys TikTok Records

There is only one place to start today and that is with SavageMike.

Mike has been smashing multiple records recently. After winning the gaming Live Fest he then proceeded to become the first ever person to reach 10K subs on TikTok and quickly followed that up by hitting 20k.

What’s His Secret?

As with all successful people, several factors contribute to his success.

• Fortnite - Mike plays a popular game. The viewership ceiling is higher but that also means more competition.

• Authenticity - He doesn’t fake his personality on stream. You get the real Mike. He often talks about his life on stream. Here is The Story of SavageMike. It's well worth a watch.

• Engaging - No boring moments in Mike’s stream. The energy is high and the enthusiasm is real.

• Tech - Mike has a fantastic stream setup and is utilising things like TikFinity including TTS for subs and “Savage Points” for viewers to spend.

• Put the time in - Mike streams many hours per month. If you don’t put the time in you won’t build a strong community.

• Community - He is grateful for his “Savage Squad”. He plays with viewers and subs and puts names of contributors on his stream. He’s also highly active in his Discord.

• Not afraid - Mike isn’t afraid to talk about his sub count or gifts. Your viewers want to support you. Remind your viewers of the benefits!

• Schedule - he has a clear streaming schedule and often catches periods when people are not working.

Congratulations to Mike. An inspiration for many!

🔑 Stream Keys In 2024

Unless you have direct contact with TikTok the only way to get a stream key in 2024 is via a free TikTok LIVE agency. I break it down in the video below and on my website.

🔴 LIVE Studio In 2024

Compatibility mode is now available on both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards. As a reminder, this allows your viewers to choose between a vertical or landscape stream view. Each view can be unique.

Now is a good time to review your LIVE Studio setup and take advantage of this feature. Below is my latest LS guide showing how to set it all up.
