There's a group of people that got really big and stayed big while some others fizzled out quickly, and people who've had unpredictable ups and downs in viewer counts. \"People might get bored of your show and then switch and watch something else. So I'm well aware that this can all go away or suddenly blow up and\u002For go away,\" GamerDad tells us. He goes on to debunk the myth of quick fame on the platform, \"Nobody is an overnight success without hard work.\" For him, he had to keep trying and experimenting with TikTok until it finally popped off. \"Have I mentioned StreamLadder really helped me out?\" We loved to hear that!",[498,499,500],"blockquote",{"id":229},"    \"Nobody is an overnight success without hard work.\"",[298,502,503,379],{"dataRtEmbedType":350},[498,504,508],{"className":505,"style":507},[506],"instagram-media"," background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);",[298,509,379,511,593],{"style":510},"padding:16px;",[438,512,379,516,531,379,534,537,546,379,549,379,584],{"href":513,"style":514,"target":515},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Freel\u002FCu4M4W4AEFe\u002F?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading"," background:#FFFFFF; line-height:0; padding:0 0; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; width:100%;","_blank",[298,517,379,519,379,522],{"style":518}," display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;",[298,520],{"style":521},"background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;",[298,523,379,525,379,528],{"style":524},"display: flex; flex-direction: column; grow: 1; justify-content: center;",[298,526],{"style":527}," background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;",[298,529],{"style":530}," background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;",[298,532],{"style":533},"padding: 19% 0;",[298,535],{"style":536},"display:block; height:50px; margin:0 auto 12px; width:50px;",[298,538,379,540],{"style":539},"padding-top: 8px;",[298,541,543],{"style":542},"color: rgb(56, 151, 240); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;",[20,544,545],{},"View this post on Instagram",[298,547],{"style":548},"padding: 12.5% 0;",[298,550,552,563,572],{"style":551},"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;",[298,553,379,554,379,557,379,560],{},[298,555],{"style":556},"background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);",[298,558],{"style":559},"background-color: #F4F4F4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;",[298,561],{"style":562},"background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);",[298,564,379,566,379,569],{"style":565},"margin-left: 8px;",[298,567],{"style":568}," background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;",[298,570],{"style":571}," width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)",[298,573,379,575,379,578,379,581],{"style":574},"margin-left: auto;",[298,576],{"style":577}," width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);",[298,579],{"style":580}," background-color: #F4F4F4; grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);",[298,582],{"style":583}," width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);",[298,585,379,587,379,590],{"style":586},"display: flex; flex-direction: column; grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;",[298,588],{"style":589}," background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;",[298,591],{"style":592}," background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;",[10,594,596],{"style":595}," color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;",[438,597,599],{"href":513,"style":598,"target":515},"color: rgb(201, 200, 205); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;","A post shared by GamerDad (@gamerdadtv)",[10,601,227],{"id":229},[148,603,605],{"id":604},"getting-your-viewers-to-stay",[20,606,607],{"id":229},"Getting your viewers to stay",[10,609,610],{"id":229},"The question is: how do you retain your viewer's attention?
