10 Tips and Ideas for Drip Titles
10 Tips and Ideas for Drip Titles
1. Make Your Title Unique to the Stream
1. Make Your Title Unique to the Stream
Titles help viewers find the content they want to view.
But too often, streamers don’t match their title with the content or experience that is offered in a stream.
Untitled, unclear, and underwhelming content is often skipped over if people cannot understand the value they can get from your stream.

2. Create Funny Stream Titles
People love to laugh and viewers will be attracted to your wittiness. If you think of a funny title, don’t be afraid to use it.
Inspiration can be found in memes, dad jokes, quotes by comedians, pop culture, in-game humor, and from other streamers. Use titles as another way to show your personality and grab attention.

3. Use a Descriptive and Honest Title
3. Use a Descriptive and Honest Title
Your goal is to gain a solid following over time, so be honest when naming your stream.
Don’t claim to be the best player in a game when you still may be in the early stages of growing your brand or imply offerings are available that may not be. Doing so can leave people with a negative impression of you.
If you are truthful in your descriptions and have a genuine personality, your followers will find you.
4. Highlight Special Events in your Stream Titles
4. Highlight Special Events in your Stream Titles
Include details for your upcoming event to pique people’s interest - potential viewers get excited about special events and unique experiences.
This includes:
24-hour streams,
events for charity,
your birthday (or other holidays)
unique experiences - like access to exclusive products or a stream with a VIP

5. Using Emojis 👀
5. Using Emojis 👀
Emojis are a great addition to your Drip title! Emojis stand out and grab potential viewers' attention more than just plain text will.
Emojis add color and vibrance to an otherwise dark and dreary wall of text. People are naturally attracted to bright colors.

8. Use Numbers to Attract Attention
8. Use Numbers to Attract Attention
People are attracted to numbers. They tell a story and give viewers a sense of control or understanding of the content. People love knowing what they can expect.
Make sure your numbers are relevant and descriptive of your content.
Here are ways you can incorporate numbers in your titles:
the length of your stream (especially if you create multi-hour marathons),
the number of times you plan to do a giveaway,
or when you reach a certain number of drips in the stream.

9. Announce a Giveaway in Your Title
Drip Giveaways are always an attention grabber, but you should handle advertising them with care.
While this may bring people to your channel, your goal should be building a loyal following, not attracting clickbait.
Use this tip sparingly, and when used, try to reward faithful viewers and new subscribers.
