It seems like one popular way to help your stream grow is to do giveaways. Most people will do giveaways after reaching a certain amount of Followers, but it still raises a question: What should you giveaway?
There are many different things that you can do, but you should always make sure you're not "breaking the bank". As your stream grows it's not an issue giving away more expensive items, but I wouldn't run out and buy a $150 keyboard and give it away after only reaching 200 followers. One popular thing that most streamers do is giveaway in-game items. After all, if you already have the item, all the winner has to do is give you their character name and then trade it to them. For example, lots of Runescape streamers would giveaway either in-game items, or a code from a prepaid game card. WoW streamers also have the ability to giveaway items from the Blizzard Store and CS-GO streamers giveaway rare guns and knives.
Another suggestion is Steam Cards. Most people who are watching your stream probably game on their computers in some shape or form. Steam cards are easy to get as they are available at most retail outlets. So just go get a $20 Steam Card and give that away some time. I'm also going to throw out another quick suggestion. You can also giveaway cheaper keyboards and Mice. Cooler Master makes a Combo Bundle called the CM Storm Devastator which is a keyboard and mouse for $30. For the price you pay, they are pretty good and Cooler Master is a reputable company in the PC world. It's always good to keep an extra keyboard or mouse around just in case something happens.
I know Tia and other streamers can probably give other suggestions. So feel free to suggest other alternatives.
