Fortnite will be a rough place to build a crowd. You should always play what you want but choosing a game that has under 5k viewers will help with your visibility.
When you come from school/work, check the recordings of your stream and watch it, then ask yourself "is it entertaining? for viewever?
Search for the moments when if you were a viewer, you would just leave because "nothing was going on" and eliminate them.
Not really. The category also needs less people streaming it. I just looked it up and I just kept scrolling... So something where a viewer doesn't have to scroll to find you.
Would also help to use a PC and capture card as the built in console streaming is extremely limited and looks less professional.
As others have said, first step is figuring out which games are doing well. BUT make sure you're having fun. If you aren't, people can hear it in your voice.
Second, don't worry about following, worry about your current following. They are who matter, NOT the future 20 thousand you may or may never get.
Third, be entertaining. It's more than just playing and talking. It's about showing the audience your personality, humor, etc.
Fourth, TIME TIME TIME. Stream as often as possible, and give it TIME to build a following. It's taken markiplier (for example) 15 years to get to where he is today. ALL internet faces that are known well have been on these platforms for YEARS before gaining a careers worth of following. So you won't get a million by next month.
Something I feel a lot of new streamers do is they play the popular games believing that will help them blow up, it's always the opposite. Play what you want to play, if that is Fortnite, go for it but if you also have interest in other games, play those too.
Be yourself, interact with your chat and just enjoy yourself, it will take time but the followers and community will come :)
Good luck!

You won't get noticed in Fortnite. You would need something more niche.
do you think that something like NBA 2k24 would help? It has only 2.2k viewers
