After taking time to contemplate this book, I did need to revise my previous rating to 2. The book is a short introduction to the world of Twitch and streaming games. In a way perhaps it does achieve this objective for a complete novice. However, as I don't fall into that category, many of the sections seemed very basic and self explanatory. I was hoping for more tips and tricks to make your channel more appealing to viewers, yet the book was light on this information. I didn't buy the book, so it filled 40 minutes of my time, but wouldn't reccommend buying this if you want a deep insight to the world of Twitch.

I don't use Twitch but....

I do my streaming on Rumble and I work to help other creators on Rumble grow. Since Rumble is relatively new, I went to research existing streaming platforms and found this guide.

Extremely helpful, well organized and full of useful questions you should be asking yourself if you get into streaming.

You can read this book in one sitting. It’s very much an introduction to Twitch. The book is focused on PC streaming and doesn’t mention consoles a lot. A good, short, read for beginners though.
