I don't stream but I've seen what some streamers do that makes them less successful. Don't worry about view count. It doesn't matter how many people are watching you whether it's 1 or 1,000. If there's only 3 people there, act like the world is watching and talk to them. Thank all the support you get and don't let it go to your head. Know that you aren't going to get big quick. There are hundreds of games streamed every day and thousands of streamers. You most likely won't become a huge streamer at the beginning. Don't start streaming because you plan to do it full time. It probably won't take off instantly so don't plan for a full time job of streaming. If it works out, go from there. Be consistent (probably the most important) Have a schedule of days when you stream and stick to it. Have a Twitter to keep people updated on if you can't make the stream etc. Also find something you enjoy streaming and stick to it. That doesn't mean you can't stream other games, but having one game you rely on is important because you will build an audience that enjoys that game and enjoys watching you play that game. Thats the best I can do. Good luck streaming. Keep a positive attitude and most importantly, have fun.
