Success in game streaming is hinged solely on the skills of the gamer. If it were so, it wouldn’t be so hard to gain celebrity status, a game streamer with massive viewers and flowers. Nobody wants to log into your streaming session to watch; you only play a game; they want more. They want your art, your person, your humanity.
Jerome Gillian, also known as NOHITJEROME in the game streaming world, has found the secret recipe to success, be it in game streaming or marketing or sales or writing. Jerome has unboxed the formula, which he says comes naturally to him, which causes many businesses to stand out from the rest.
When he started game streaming in 2019 for the sole purpose of connecting with more people, he had no idea that his unique personality will win him, ardent viewers.
I try to connect with my followers by being real, doing different fun activities, Jerome says. His game streaming videos are usually spiced with many activities such as dancing, yoga, and the game’s creative commentary.
With game streaming, a player’s gaming skills are not as crucial as his entertainment and interpersonal skills. While having elite skills with the console is a plus, it doesn’t guarantee massive followership.
The game streaming industry had more viewers than HBO, a report said. The number of gamers who stream gameplays by their favorite gamers ran into their millions.
The $1.91 billion industry boasts of millions of players and viewers. Twitch is one of the biggest game streaming platforms to allows gamers to pay a subscription fee to watch their favorite gamers play on screen.
Jerome’s fanbase has grown so much that he now has a partnership deal with Twitch and StreamElements. After becoming the third player in the world to achieve No Damage run in Sekiro, a term that means he didn’t get hit by any of the enemies, Jerome has achieved massive success with other games like DSL, DS3, WoW, and CLASSIC 24-HOUR RACE.
Jerome entertains his audience by being real, being human. He says that he doesn’t go into his game streaming session, trying so hard to impress his fans. For him, being human and natural, doing the things I love, is how he gets his audience hooked.
Although he tries to play down the effect of his sometimes-goofy behaviors while streaming, he can’t take away his personality’s magnetic property on his viewers.
Standing out in an industry like game streaming means that you must continuously deliver content that beats the other streamers. As much as you’re having fun, you also have to entertain your viewers consistently.
Jerome has tapped into the power of uniqueness to keep his viewers hooked on his channel. At some point in late 2019, Jerome had his mother on the streaming with him.
While some people might think having his mother was unnecessary, Jerome showed the game streaming community that he had a mother who supported him. And this, he says, gave other gamers the confidence to play and involve family members.
NoHitJerome, over the last year and a half, has been able to carve a niche for himself in the game streaming community by being different, being himself while having fun.
