Empire Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Streaming is free, you can stream with no little money spent. Gotta start somewhere right? then as long as you have a good gaming rig that can stream and game then go ahead. OBS and overlays are free and you can make your own up with photoshop. There are software subscriptions but also they are free options 🙂 I stream and able to not pay so much money. I stream with no subscriptions 🙂 I stream and the number is under empirekicking on twitch and so look me up 🙂 see what I do and what I stream and not pay much.

skyfire Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Unless there is money coming in, I don't see anything strong return for the invested money on various types of the instrument invested into. And that is why I would say that initially one needs free stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 When it comes to streaming you won't expect to get much, unless you have a good follow base and good viewers with gifts bits and subs, twitch takes half of that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Twitch takes like 35 percent if I remember. And that is why people push for patreon even on their twitch channel. I think the worst part is streaming everyday as if it is job and trying to push people to pay you. Then say something controversial and then create following with that. Not my cup of tea.

As a full time streamer and only income that you got then yes it's hard work. I mean full time streamers have to stream more hours than a normal day to day job. Twitch/amazon is money making for themselves and so whatever you do twitch will try it's hardest to take half. In the UK it's 50% Twitch takes half of what you earn. So $10 take away 50% you get $5, however since I'm in GPB I get £3.68 😞 SHOCKING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect to rely on Twitch's income alone, sponsorships and advertisements are the biggest parts of the cake, because Twitch pays only pennies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of gamers, prankers, creators eventually lose their mind like fouseytube did. A lot of mental damage happens by constantly playing and streaming. and on the top you lose money in taxes and then lose money in the health care after burnout.

Kane99 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 On linux I use a program called SimpleScreenRecorder. It is a lot more simpler to use and I think it's open source as well. Not sure if it works with Windows, but works wonders on Linux Ubuntu. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 OBS worked the best so far so I will keep using that for any screen recording and game recording, also it is free and can connect to Twitch easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do earn good but the thing is that too much camera exposure and too much content creation does lead to burn out. as they say in hinduism - creation, maintainance (consumption) and destruction if doesn't happen in process side by side, then leads to consequences. I know a lot of female and male streamers who commited suicide since 2017, not due to bullying but burned out. some became rich at age of 18 or 21 and could not handle success.

Remind me of Ninja who has and has so much crazy money. DrDisrespectful is a good streamer and at times I see him saying that he needs breaks here and there. I think he takes a good two months of breaks away from streaming at times. When he streams he streams all day almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Yeah and this does take toll on body and mind. they end making any random blabbering or saying things to attract woke crowd and when things break out they realize the real world works differently and not based on their woke utopia. recording say like 12 hours a day is recipe for mental health disaster.

skyfire Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I found the camtasia good for editing and if you want professional level editing then filmora and the adobe premier is a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
