Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 260

Episode 260: Seo-Ah’s Counseling Center (2)

“Today, I have invited two special guests for the content: Lin-Ah and Ling-Ling! Please welcome them with applause!”

Since the broadcast had already been going on since the morning, there was no need for an ice-breaking time.

I briefly explained the topic of today’s content and immediately summoned the two people who were waiting in the Discord channel.

“Hello! It’s an honor to participate in today’s content. I’m the streamer Lin-Ah.”

“I’m the pure virtual of Pangea TV! The pride of Pangea TV! Greetings to all the viewers, I’m Ling-Ling!”

Lin-Ah had a mild brown braids hairstyle, and Ling-Ling had green hair that seemed to attract attention just by looking at it.

“First, I’ve prepared some information here. Please take a look.”

Based on the materials sent by Lin-Ah and Ling-Ling, I prepared a neat PowerPoint presentation.

It wasn’t particularly difficult.

I hadn’t put in a tremendous amount of effort; it just contained basic personal details and broadcasting experience, along with the average number of viewers for each person.

– They have one year of broadcasting experience, but having less than 20 average viewers is awkward.

– Huh? But with one year, Lin-Ah is a senior compared to Seo-Ah, right?

– Ling-Ling has only been around for two months; she’s just starting out.

The format of the content was simple.

Each person would present their problems, and I would provide counseling based on that and suggest possible solutions.

So, who should start first? I thought it would be better to let Lin-Ah go first since she had a year of experience.

“The problem I see in my broadcasting is the ‘chat.’ Although my viewer count is already low, there’s still too little chat interaction. Because of that, no matter what content I try, the responses are low, and as a result, my energy drops, making it hard to continue the conversation. It feels like I’m just talking to myself. Is there any way to improve the chat culture on my stream?”

“Hmm, chat… It’s definitely not an easy issue.”

This wasn’t just Lin-Ah’s problem.

Many streamers face concerns regarding viewer chats.

In reality, it could be said that part of it depended on luck.

Some viewers enjoy chatting while others do not.

About this, it’s more like a luck-based situation.

“Actually, chatting isn’t just the streamer’s problem; it’s a burden for the viewers as well. Think about it. If a viewer joins the stream just to watch, and suddenly the streamer greets and engages them, it can be overwhelming. Viewers often refer to this situation as being ‘caught in the mode-geung.’”

– LOL? Was Seo-Ah a viewer? How does she know that term?

– For real, when you get caught in the mode-geung, it can really cause cold sweat. I can’t leave because I think the streamer will be disappointed if I do.

– I also avoid streams with low viewers because I’m scared of the mode-geung.

“I personally think it’s important for streamers to feel relaxed. Viewers are definitely not fools. Streamers may think they’re hiding their feelings well, but often, the viewers have already caught on and just pretend not to notice.”

“Ah….”

“If the streamer keeps worrying about the low chats and feels pressured about it, the viewers will naturally start to notice as well. This creates a vicious cycle. If I typed in the chat and then remained silent, wouldn’t that cause the streamer to be anxious? Do I have to keep chatting until the end of the broadcast?”

This part was something I specialized in.

As the chairman of the Hako streamers for a long time, I had tried every method.

I even took part in activities directly as a trap and created alternative accounts for chatting because my d*e-hard fans had red nicknames that attracted attention in the chat room.

“In the end, I believe the key is creating a comfortable atmosphere. And I’ve watched both of your broadcasts. One issue I noticed regarding chat is that Lin-Ah only talks to very specific viewers.”

“Well, but if I exclude them, then no one else chats, so I can’t engage in conversation.”

“No, if that happens, it’s just a perpetual loop! It’s not just about reacting to the chat; it’s about the streamer’s skill in naturally ‘guiding’ the chat. For example… Seo-Ah~~~ You’re just so cute! Everyone would want to ‘nom’ on you!”

– ?????????

– I really want to bring a fierce dog and have it bite!

– I understand you were trying to use Seo-Ah as an example, but it’s quite unpleasant. Please use proper examples next time.

Tsundere-type viewers.

There were countless ways to encourage chatting.

For example, in Hako rooms, something like ‘roll call’ could be beneficial.

With fewer people, it wouldn’t take long to scan through the viewer list from top to bottom.

“Roll call doesn’t require anything special. It’s about forming a consensus together. Call out nicknames, and the viewers respond with greetings, slowly getting closer.”

“But what if that viewer doesn’t come back the next day?”

“Then that’s unfortunate. Is there anything you can do? As I emphasized earlier, it’s important to feel relaxed. If you become too obsessed with viewers, many may feel burdened.”

– For real, there are times when I just want to listen quietly, but I feel pressured to leave.

– Unless a trap suddenly streams out of nowhere, the only way is to grow slowly.

– Ultimately, learning the skill to encourage chatting is also an essential ability for streamers.

Lin-Ah seemed to agree with what I was saying, nodding her head and signaling to Ling-Ling to take her turn.

Ling-Ling stepped up confidently, shaking her green hair.

“My concern is, ‘How can I increase the number of viewers?'”

“This is a common concern for any Hako streamer.”

Before my reincarnation, I had put a significant amount of effort into this as well.

I had done everything imaginable for Lucy’s three-digit viewer count.

“I engaged in promotional activities in the FM Community and even distributed gift cards to keep viewers engaged. When I spun the roulette and it yielded prizes, I also sacrificed my own chances.”

Since I had done so much, I could say this was an area I was somewhat confident in.

“The first promotion. Do you know about FM Community?”

“Oh, yes. I know it exists, but I don’t use it.”

“Great! So make an account right away and write a promotional post pretending to be a fan.”

“Uh, what?”

– LOL? Are you serious, pretending to be a fan of Seo-Ah?

– Did our Seo-Ah really become popular like that?

– Seo-Ah, if you need FM Community points, just let me know. I’m a polar bear and can generously donate points.

It felt a bit embarrassing, but I confidently argued my point.

For Hako streamers, there’s nothing as important as promotion.

The platform organizes broadcasts based on the number of viewers.

Thus, naturally, Hako broadcasts can get buried deep in the invisible abyss.

In such a situation, should we expect viewers to increase?

The only way is to find means to expose oneself to the audience.

And that is precisely the role of promotional activities in the community.

“Don’t forget to add ‘Newbie’ in your broadcast tags and title. There are viewers with a bizarre tendency to seek out only newbies.”

– LOL? How many years has Seo-Ah been a viewer that she knows so much?

– But among those who only seek newbies, many are malicious individuals who enjoy teasing innocent streamers.

“It’s also important to recognize your own broadcasting style and the needs of your viewers. That way, you can better protect your core fans.”

From the perspective of Hako streamers, each viewer is precious.

So, turning them into core fans is the key.

“Most importantly, it’s crucial to show your hard work. And don’t hide these aspects from your viewers; be honest and open about them. We’re in an era of self-PR.”

– Exactly, exposure is indeed very important.

– LOL? Maybe not that kind of exposure, but it’s true that showcasing excellence is essential; many things go unnoticed otherwise.

“On the contrary, there are certain behaviors that should definitely be avoided, such as showing genuine emotions during broadcasts, lying, unannounced breaks, and insufficient communication.”

If I were to cover every little detail, one day wouldn’t be enough.

So I talked about the crucial elements that viewers tend to be most sensitive about.

“If you stick to these points and regularly broadcast, you will see an upward trend in viewer counts to a certain level.”

“Uh, what does ‘a certain level’ mean? How many viewers would that be?”

“Let’s say around 50? Honestly, to grow beyond that and establish a stable fanbase, I believe broadcasting talent is essential.”

The world isn’t exactly beautiful.

I want to tell them that if they work hard, they can achieve a lot, but frankly, that doesn’t help at all.

It might be better to tell them the cold truth, which would be more considerate.

The streaming world is ultimately a red ocean that demands infinite competition.

After finishing the counseling, I provided a short promotional time for the two.

They showcased personal talents or videos they had prepared with great effort.

Watching them, I offered heartfelt applause.

Because at one time, I had been a fan of Hako streamers…

I look forward to the day I see these two again when they’ve grown unexpectedly.
