Some people say organic growth is the only sustainable path for content creators, but others believe that an initial boost can be crucial for breaking through the noise. I've been trying to grow my presence on short-form video platforms, specifically with live streams where I share my digital art process. It can be incredibly disheartening when you go live and only have a handful of viewers, making it difficult to attract more. I'm curious if anyone has experimented with strategies for boosting live stream views for videos, particularly at the beginning of a stream. Is it even effective, or just a temporary numbers game?
