How to stand out as a VTuber!
(From a full-time Vtuber and VTuber Manager)
1 - Plan your content
Make a schedule, look into games, stats, what makes you perform best and what is challenging. Make sure you have a concrete plan for every day.
2 - Know your model
Spend time with your model and your rigger to make it move effectively and make sure your lip sync and movements are visible and match your style of speaking.
3 - Branding
Make sure that what your theme is is reflected and visible in what you create, make sure it's easy to understand and pass on.
Not everyone will have time to learn your full lore and tell it to their friends, but if you can sum up who you are in one sentence you make it easier for them.
4 - Have fun
Everyone has a bad day, but there is no need to make your audience feel down. It's okay to skip a day or a challenge so you can provide a more welcoming environment for viewers.
5 - Work hard and reflect
Nobody wants to admit they have been lazy or could have done more, but sometimes it's good to admit to yourself that you were expecting too high a number for the content you put out. It sucks, but looking into your weaknesses as well as strengths is the only way to do better in the future.
6 - Set clear boundaries
Don't let chatters push to far and have clear, written rules that are enforced by mods and don't make exceptions.
A healthy community reflects a healthy streamer and healthy environment and takes time and effort to build.
7 - Reinvent the wheel
Not every idea has been done before, and it's always okay to look at trends and ask friends for help, BUT show people that you can stand out on your own, that your stream can provide what no other stream can. Be it a special event, way you play a game, or chatting content you see nobody else do.
Ask yourself: What would you enjoy watching and go from there, the right people will follow.
