Lesson 5.1 - Days 1-7: Niche, Schedule, Accounts
Days 1-7 of the 90-day plan are foundation week. Three things must happen before the first stream of week 2.
- Lock the niche. Pick one specific lane. Cozy gaming, speedrun coaching, vintage tech, language teaching, fetish-specific cam, fitness with chat coaching. Write the niche on a sticky note and put it on your monitor. Every content decision flows from this.
- Lock the schedule. Pick 3 days, same start time, 2-3 hour duration. Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday at 8pm Eastern is a common starting pattern. Announce the schedule on every social account you have.
- Lock the accounts. Set up Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and Discord with the same handle. Create the Linktree. Build the channel description that explains what your stream is and when. Set a recognizable banner and avatar across all four platforms.
Do not stream during week 1. The temptation is to "just go live and figure it out." That broadcast pattern is what creates the unfocused streamer who never breaks 100 followers. Foundation first. Broadcast in week 2.
