STREAMERS - What do you do when your favorite platform SHUTS DOWN

So you've been on your platform for a while, you've seen some warning signs of trouble, and then one day BOOM - it shuts down. What do you do?

If your primary content or streaming platform shuts down, here are some steps you can take:

1. Explore other platforms: Research and explore other live game streaming platforms that are available. There are several other popular platforms such as Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Facebook Gaming, and Kick that you could consider.
2. Inform your audience: Let your audience know about the change and where they can find you on other platforms. Use your social media accounts or email newsletter to inform your followers about the move.
3. Back up your content: Back up your content from the old platform if possible, so you can preserve your past streams and content.
4. Rebrand if necessary: If the new platform has a different audience or culture, consider rebranding your content to better suit the platform and audience.
5. Use the opportunity to try new things: Use the change as an opportunity to try new things and experiment with your content. You may find that the new platform offers different features and opportunities that you can take advantage of.
6. Build your audience on the new platform: Focus on building your audience on the new platform by creating engaging content and interacting with your followers. Building a new audience can take time, but it's important to be patient and consistent.

Remember, while the shutdown of your primary live game streaming platform can be challenging, it can also provide new opportunities for growth and creativity. Stay adaptable and flexible, and use the change as a chance to explore new possibilities.
