As far as I'm aware twitch does absolutely nothing to help promote new streams. You're stream will be listed at the very bottom of the page and will be almost assuredly seen by absolutely no one. You can't really self promote because that's generally prohibited at most sites and if it isn't it's pretty much an open invitation to getting trolled.

Unless you've got a group of people already willing to be an audience for you or you know an already established streamer will give you a shoutout you won't be able to get any sort of traction and you'll be streaming to literally no one.

Beyond that there was a study done some time ago that found that people form a para-social relationship with content creators which is to say they watch people that they want to be friends with. Are you good at making friends and do people generally like you? If not you'll absolutely won't make it as a streamer unless you can provide some other reason to watch you.
