So me and my nigga are considering starting to stream, but I don't want to put the time and effort into getting it all setup and everything if it'll just result in us being total randoms only having 1 - 10 viewers per stream.
The main reason we want to start, is obviously money. As we know, some of the extremely popular streamers (such as Summit, Kitty, LOLYOU, WarOwl, & many more) make so much income they were able to quit their day jobs in order to pursue streaming as a full-time thing. We know that it seems to pay well enough for them to have Top Tier gaming equipment, extremely rare skins, able to do super expensive giveaways like it's nothing, and all they do is play games and interact with their fanbase.

My concerns:
-We go nowhere, wasted time.
-Fuck up so bad somehow that IF we even have fans, they stop watching.
-Random Trade Ban (like analogy, though it got revoked)
-People using stolen money to sub / donate.
-Chargebacks

My question to you:
Is it all worth it?
Also, what are some things that would help bring in attention for if we are going to do it? Obviously we have to stand out in some way.
 
Just don't be a complete autist on stream with how you talk/interact with your viewers, watch someone like TimTheTatMan for example, he's a fantastic entertainer, not very good at the game but still pulls in hella viewers. Don't go into it expecting to make money straight away, a big fanbase takes time, PL has been streaming for over 6 years. But yeah, just be good at talking into a microphone and decent at video games and you'll be sweet, also use FK to get a starting fanbase lel, pretty sure some people here would help.
 

I was a moderator for a girl named DizzyKitten for a long time. As for now, I have retired as a mod and stepped away from watching twitch IRC like a hawk and being nazi mod.

Thing's like Chargebacks, weren't an issue. Myself and a few buddies would just have fun with the persons info that charged back. No problem. Using stolen money, I can't even begin to start on this.

I want to stress something to you, yeah, wasted time sucks, but how will you know if you can or can't, just by saying "well fuck I don't want to waste my time, so I just wont try". Start small, work your way in, or jump in head first, go ham. It will take time though. You need to build that fan base, but saying I don't want to try because I don't want to fail, is childish. You have to learn from your mistakes.


That shit just got real.
 
Second method of getting big, have tits.
 

Since my friend and I end up playing against a lot of "pro" players with well-known streams, we know that if we do well against them while saying our Twitch in name / chat will help a little with getting viewers.
Sadly, @"Rae", neither of us have tits.
 
@Hitmarker, damn, tits increase your viewer count by like 1000%. But yeah, just be entertaining on stream and people will keep watching.
 
Lol I remember watching Kitty when she was merely anything in the scene.
She was so shit at Cod Ghosts Lmfao

But I mean if you have the energy to do this then do it. Take risks, it might work out and when it does you'll be seeing yourself with a lot of money.
But the risk is huge.

You just need the ability to entertain people and if you do it correctly then you'll start getting followers/viewers and subscribers!

Goodluck Hitmarker
 
I was pretty sure I was gonna try before I posted the thread, but the MAIN reason was seeing what is something unique I could do with my stream that will get viewers.

Nick Bunyun is funny as shit.
Lolyou is chill.
Kitty has tits and is 100$ dedicated to the fans instead of the game.
Pros are pro.


Pretty much everything I can think of is already done.

@Beam I got dibs on ur koins. kek
 

I fucking love watching Tim. I seriously think he's my favorite streamer.


In regards to the thread I think you should at least give it a shot and see how it turns out.
