How to Become a Full-Time Streamer (It's NOT Luck)

so when it comes to becoming a full-time streamer some say is luck most say is luck right but the one thing I'm going to tell you here today is that it's not once you understand what streaming truly is and the process of creating content you can become a full-time streamer it's not something that's luck right and hopefully today in today's video I'm gonna be able to break down how I would start a new stream how I would think about scheduling My Stream creating a plan building a YouTube gaming channel and what I would do to be able to take myself from doing this as a hobby to going full time in one year right so this is going to be the plan that we're going to work through today so I hope you are excited buckle up because I'm gonna go ahead and pull the current on everything um and I'm not going to hold anything back you guys are going to be able to see me directly building a gaming YouTube channel a channel that I'm gonna be able to create gaming content on a channel that I'm going to be streaming on and it's going to be a brand new channel right so I'm starting from zero I'm not even going to use my name on that channel eventually people will find out but I want to walk you through how I would go about planning this right because in order for you to go full time regardless if you just want to do it part time right and even if you want to just generate some kind of Revenue you do need to have a plan right so the first step is not to start live streaming the first step is not to buy this kind of gear the first step is to get pen and paper and write down a plan that you can consistently execute week in week out and know where you're actually going because if you don't have a plan how are you going to know where you're going to go how are you going to be able to know if you're what you're doing is right and what you're doing is wrong right so again I've been here before worked with tons of streamers in the past currently work with tons of creators and I'm helping them be able to grow their channels be able to become full-time creators and generate Revenue doing something that they love right so I wanted to make this to really address that um that it's not luck once you know the blueprint and you're willing to put in the work and you understand what value you bring as a streamer what are the things that you believe in that you can share with the people out there like there's just an audience out there waiting for you so I hope that you know you can get inspired and excited from this video here today and that by the end of this video you leave knowing exactly where you want to go and what you need to do now to either go part-time or go full time so I'm super excited about this I hope you are excited but before then if you're watching this on the replay make sure there's going to be time stamps along this whole video right so you can jump around to the part that matters to you the most right you may be just getting started there's going to be topics that you might want to address you may already be streaming it's going to be topics you want to address right you may already be making money with streaming there's going to be topics you want to address so just check the time stamps in this video and anything that I mentioned in this video is also going to be in the description right so of course we are doing this live so I want to go ahead and say hello to all the beautiful people who have tuned in live here we have Shauna in the house let's make this a little bit bigger here let's give let's go show some love shown in the house we got Raj in the house here new week new lessons excited for today's live stream let's go let's go we gotten beer in the house have a great stream last I have to be somewhere in 15 minutes I'll catch it if it's posted no problem man appreciate you coming by and saying hi we got Tyrone in the house he says I am new to your live stream but I've been watching a lot of videos Man welcome I'm super excited these are super chill live streams my goal here is to try to um help you along this journey of streaming I'm in the process of building a brand new channel building a brand new stream and I figured why not go ahead and live stream this process how I would approach it how I would think about it um with the hopes of maybe getting you unstuck and along the way I'll be answering you guys questions for sure so um we got Daryl in the house what is going on man blessings to you brother blessings hope you're doing good man hope your channel is doing good as well um and I hope you keep going out there and spreading the message of the Lord man um John's in the house what is going on John how's it going how's it going all right so let's go ahead and dive into this right so the first thing that I'm gonna do so I'm gonna go ahead and get a a pen and paper right um and we're gonna go ahead and utilize this word doc right here so when it comes to going full time right so going for full time as a streamer let's let's make this let's make this a little bit a little bit bigger here right all right so going full time as a streamer so the first thing you want to do is you want to establish a plan right so you have to decide how much time do you have available to be able to go ahead and pursue this right so I have tons of time but what I'm going to approach this because I'm thinking about everyone here I'm going to approach this how can I become a full-time streamer if I only have 10 hours a week to be able to execute on this right so that's what we're gonna do right so total time each week is 10 hours right so I only have 10 hours every single week to be able to go ahead and grow this within this year to be able to go full time and doing what it is that I love right um so that's the first thing that we're gonna go ahead and set so let me go ahead and say what here it says um do you have tips for a YouTuber uh with 50 Subs uh this is a great question right um and the biggest thing that I can tell you early on when you first are getting started on YouTube you want to know kind of who it is you're creating content for that's like step number one right because if you don't know who you're creating content for it's hard for you to know if you're making the right kind of videos and it's also hard for YouTube to understand who to be able to show that video to so the first thing that I would say is to get really clear on who you're creating content for and then if you do know who you're creating content for the next thing is to start focusing on quantity in the beginning you want to focus on quantity you want to upload as frequently as you can that way you can start working out the Kinks right but don't just upload review what it is that that you did take a look at that video what did I do what did I do here what what what can I change is my thumbnail good is my title good and just try to improve from every single video right do a hundred of those at the 100th you'll start to see some some results and um that's how you'll start to grow little by little but it's all about uh humans uh so often uh you know a lot of creators think about the algorithm right like oh man like the algorithm doesn't like me or like hey I got to do keywords I gotta do tags or hey I got to be able to post at this time like the minute you start Shifting the word algorithm for any social media platform and you start thinking about humans that's how you start to go ahead and see results in your content right the moment that I stop thinking about like oh how do I get YouTube to show my videos to more people it's like no the right question I need to ask was like who is the person that this video is gonna matter to right and that's that's when everything started to change because I started thinking about that person as opposed to the algorithm so hopefully that that helps you there and of course if you have any other questions feel free to uh chime them in uh so Channel One music says here um first time catching a live stream as well love your content you have definitely helped me build my channel under a hundred something Subs need to reach 1K I appreciate you guys man I appreciate you tuning in super happy to have you here of course this is an amazing opportunity to be able to ask me any kind of question when it comes to Growing your audience your community your channel um anything that you may want to ask me this is the perfect time to be able to kind of do that right so we've established that we have 10 hours right now I'm gonna put this cap on me on myself as well because if I could do this in 10 hours then that means that a lot of people can do this in 10 hours right so I'm gonna commit to 10 hours a week to be able to grow my channel now keep this in mind this is not 10 hours of me streaming okay there will be some streaming in there right but this is 10 hours for me to be able to work on building this journey right building this gaming YouTube channel building this live stream building a community so that way I can still go ahead and have time to be able to go to my job to be able to spend time with family to be able to game just just a game right so 10 hours let me know in the let me know in the chat right now or in the comments if you have 10 hours a week to be able to focus on growing your stream and your and your channel to go full time kind of curious and if you haven't hit the like button yet on on the channel uh make sure you hit the like button so that way this gets out to more people right um so what do we have here we say um with an Elgato with an Elgato do I need a USB 3.0 100 um 100 so you will need a a and using a dongle or a USB hub sometimes doesn't work the best way that it could so if you're on your PC or on your Mac you have a 3.0 um a hub then that's going to be the the best way to be able to get it now uh again and I just kind of I keep forgetting here right so if it's your first time here in the live stream put a q in front of your question that's going to make it a little bit easier as we start to get more people in here for me to be able to pinpoint your questions right so so let's kind of let's kind of go through this right okay so now that I have my 10 hours a week I need to understand right what is my plan when it comes to content right so mind you how many hours can I stream right so I want to go live but I don't just want to go live just to just to go live while I'm playing the game remember I want to go live to create content right and if people tune in that's a plus right so so mind you we're going live because we're going to do two things we're going to make ourselves available for anybody that we've started to attract with our content so come check us out but we're also going to focus on creating content so I'm gonna say that I can live stream probably I'm going to say one time per week okay I'm gonna say one time per week for three hours okay so we now have ten we have ten hours and I'm gonna do one time per week for three hours okay so now I have seven hours left for everything else okay so let's let's let's let's talk about that for a second right so three hours one time a week that I'm gonna live stream or I'm gonna be present with my community with the goal of creating content and a little bit later I'll start diving in how you structure your live stream to be able to create content now mind you right what we're doing here is talking about going full time in one year right some of you may get it a lot sooner right but I like to play a little bit more of a realistic game because life happens right but again mind you 10 hours 10 hours a week right super doable I'm telling you once you focus on the right things right so um before we keep going let me go ahead and address some of the questions here um so we gotta we got a question let's see here all right so you know gaming says I have like 15 to 20 hours a week so think about it you have literally almost 10 hours more than what I'm planning here in this stream right here so so just imagine what you're able to do right um so so again we're gonna keep it conservative 10 hours if there's out there's hours that you have weeks that you have more hours then you go ahead and go down that route right um so let's see here we have um let's hit the like button Let's Do It um Mark said hello man watching you from Portugal keeping the excellent work uh learning a lot from your videos man I really appreciate you tuning in that means the world to me to see you here um spending time with me and I'm just hope that in this video you're able to get a little bit of value and it helps you along your journey that's literally my goal of doing this live because I was gonna do this either way behind the scenes right remember I'm planning a brand new channel gonna be streaming a brand new channel and I want to get that channel specifically to give me a full-time income in one year right that's the goal um so let's see here [Music] let's see here says do you have some tips uh I am a gamer remember put a q in front of your question so make sure that I can kind of address it right so do you have some tips I'm a gaming YouTuber who doesn't have a lot of hours well based on what you told me you have 15 to 20 so just stick around and you're gonna see how I break down 10 hours and then you can figure out how to add the additional hours remember we don't need a lot of time it's about what you do during that time and 10 hours is way more than enough time every single week to truly start growing something that's going to be impactful and help you out later down the road I'm literally gonna break down the whole game for you here on this video so we have here a question from uh tudo tuto I think that's how I said it right says uh do you have tips to help increase public watch hours in order to reach those uh coveted 4K hour mark 100 this is an amazing question right so this is something that I work with a lot of creators and something that I share right because a lot of creators that I work with are trying to reach that uh four thousand hours excuse me of watch time so the easiest way to be able to change that is to live stream okay um so if you live stream let's say you're uploading one video a week to your YouTube channel if you incorporate one live stream every single week right and you think about that live stream like you would at video right let's take a sample for this uh this livestream that did right here right I took time thinking about the thumbnail I took time thinking about the the uh the title and I took time thinking about how I was going to start that video to make sure that once this live stream ends it still gets pushed to people to watch it afterwards right so again you're thinking about one two hour live streams you're going to start to attract so like let's say your videos are 5-10 minutes long and your average view amount of time people watch your videos is two minutes well you do a two hour live stream people may watch 10 15 20 minutes of that live stream and that's how you hack the uh four thousand hours of watch time to get that a lot faster so um hopefully that helps you give you some guidance and um and that that should be a good a good approach to be able to do that um urgent what is going on what is going on nice to see you in here again nice to see you in here again um it says started getting the gear needed to stream everything uh kind of complicated but staying patient Bobby it it's a process right and this and what I'm doing here today is literally showing you what you need to do to make sure that all the money you're spending on your gear you're able to get it back by by doing the right things while using it right um and of course if there isn't videos on my channel already about the gear that you that you purchased how to set it up just let me know leave a comment um and what I have is shawna's taking notes of people giving video idea recommendations I added to my list and then I started making those videos on the channel to help you set things up right so uh just let me know about that all right so we're coming back here right so we have seven hours left so what do you do with the last seven hours right okay so now we need to think about creating content right so the next seven hours of this I want to spend creating content so now if we if we go ahead and do the streaming the way that we should let me just go ahead and pop myself in here right all right if we go ahead and live stream the way that we should these three hours should be well spent and we should get at least some several content from this right so I'm gonna go ahead and say that we're gonna spend one hour okay going through live stream okay creating uh clipping what we need for videos right just clipping okay so that's one hour just spending clipping the live stream right that means just like and I'm gonna show you guys how to structure your live stream so this part of the one it's only one hour because we planned our live stream okay just remember that that part right what are we doing right here planning planning is a key component to seeing success in this and how you leverage this time right so so we're gonna do spend one hour uh going through the live stream clipping okay we now have six hours left okay so now right again everybody's editing skills varies um it's completely different based on what you're adding your journey so if you've never if you've never edited before right and and this is kind of something 100 new for you right then what we're gonna do is we're gonna spend one hour learning editing okay and the way you're going to learn editing is by editing your clips and watching some YouTube videos to learn how to edit right so you're going to spend one hour learning the editing but you're gonna do you're gonna You're Gonna Take Action as you're learning right so let's say it's like okay I don't know how to cut my Clips in this editing software Okay cool so in this hour you're going to be editing this video and you're gonna have a YouTube video on the right side that's teaching you how to clip and you're going to go ahead and click your clip your stream right so so you're gonna spend that one hour doing that right okay one hour learning editing and and after a while you'll get this hour back because you'll know what to do right so I just I just want you to think about that right this this is how this is going to evolve over time how we use these 10 hours is gonna evolve right so so now we have five hours now we have five hours to go right okay we have five hours to go so I'm gonna say realistically you're probably not going to get a video edited in in one hour right so it just depends on on who you are and and what you're actually doing so again you see where we have three hours of live streaming and again if you do this the right way you're going to get a lot of content so let's let's go ahead and see what what we have here in the comments right so it says uh John says does the YouTube algorithm not like it when you promote your Twitch on YouTube um the algorithm so all right let me let me this is a great question it's a great opportunity for me to answer this so the way that the algorithm works right and the way that YouTube Works in itself right if you're telling people hey go check out my Twitch in the middle of your video what you're doing is you're telling people to leave YouTube and to go somewhere else right so what do you think YouTube is going to feel about that right they're going to be like wait wait a second we make money when we have when viewers stay on our platform as long as possible right when we can show them the most amount of ads and what we truly want is people watching more videos right so in a sense of you getting people off of YouTube could impact the video unless unless that is the goal of the video right and that's something else that I want to share with you guys each video has a goal right I'm gonna have certain videos that I'm gonna do do to get views I'm gonna have certain videos that I'm gonna do to be able to connect with my community and then I'm gonna have videos that I'm gonna use to be able to send people somewhere else right to buy a product to go check me out here so it all depends on the goal of the video right if your goal is to do that video to go ahead and get people to go to check out your Twitch Channel then that's totally fine right but don't expect YouTube to truly push that video out to the right people because you're giving it the signals of like people are watching this video and then they're leaving YouTube but this is a bad video right it may not be a bad video but that's that's what you're telling YouTube right so I want you to think about the goals of your video at all times so what do we have here blue what is going on man your stream labs and OBS um how-to videos are my favorite and you helped me greatly man that means the world to me just you taking the time coming in here to be able to share that uh really really goes ahead and excites me so I'm super I'm super excited about that super Setter welcome welcome um so let's see here the community the community uh with yourself what is going on what is going on welcome welcome question should I post one video a day or more the real question is what is your what is your capacity right and this is kind of way I want you to think about it it's like what stage of your of your journey are you at right now right are you just getting started and you want to be able to make as many videos as possible to be able to try to improve your skills and get better and understand what's working or do you want to be able to get the most amount of opportunity to get found and if you have the availability to go ahead and upload one video a day or more than one video per day right like what would what would happen if you decided to say you know what instead of me uploading five videos a week or 10 videos a week what would happen if I spent a little bit more time just focusing on one video a week right so again I just want you to think about like YouTube is a long game right you want to think long term so these videos are going to stay up forever right so I would rather invest my 10 hours on making the best video that I can possibly make with the skills that I currently have for the person that I'm trying to reach right then to go ahead and just create as many videos as possible and hoping that one sticks so again it's it's just based on on on on your goals and if you're just getting started you know I recommend that you just spend time creating right two three videos a week if you're just trying to get better and then also spend time trying to learn and analyzing those videos so you know how to improve right because that's the biggest thing don't just create to create and forget about the videos you did before use them as ways to help you make better videos in the future okay um question uh I go live in OBS and it's bad uh there should be a video on my channel teaching you about um teaching you about uh settings for uh OBS so check those out and hopefully those helps all right so we got so we got five hours we got five hours left okay so now with the five hours we're going to go ahead and and spend that spend those five hours uploading uploading a video not all five hours right so we're gonna go ahead okay one hour learning editing okay here's the here's the uh the most important here's the most important part of of your YouTube video right we're gonna spend okay I want you to spend in the beginning when you're first getting started right two hours okay on thumbnails and titles okay okay so we're gonna spend one hour learning editing we're gonna spend two hours on on thumbnails and titles okay okay then we're gonna spend three let's just go ahead let's just go ahead and eliminate all of our hours right so we're gonna go ahead and go because you're spending this one hour here one hour learning editing let's just go ahead and say let's just go ahead and say three out two hours learning editing editing and learning okay and I'm assuming that we're just have basic knowledge of editing right and and it's going to take us some time to be able to edit these kind of videos right unless you have the resources to be able to get people to do it right and learning so here we got four hours left we're spending two hours on titles and thumbnails and I'm gonna tell you here why titles and thumbnails we're spending so much time on it and if you haven't been spending time on your thumbnails and titles um that can be a real reason why you're not getting views right so thumbnails and titles is the first thing that you must must do in order to get people to actually click right it doesn't matter how good your video is if you can't get people to click on your on your video they're not going to get no views right and the only way people will click on your video is if you create a thumbnail and a title that gets them interested to want to be able to click right so that is why we're spending more time on Crafting that because that's going to be the key whether our video is going to succeed or fail right um and then I'll talk about some other components there but I just want you to keep that in mind of why we're why we're doing this right so we got a question here that says question if I go 12 hours live every month and upload like 10 videos uh about in a month or more is that good enough right so 12 hours 12 hours a month right that's three hours a week that's kind of what we're doing here right and then 10 videos in in about a month right so that means you're doing a little bit more than than one than one a week right again it all depends on whether or not the content that you're uploading is the right kind of content right this is why the reason why I say you know that you want to start slow in the beginning is because there's such a huge learning curve when it comes to YouTube and how you need to create content for YouTube right especially gaming content is completely different right and you don't want to be like everyone else so if you spend all your time right creating content streaming and and doing that when do you have time to be able to actually learn and and research and study other creators right so so so so so so take so take a look at this right so we have here two two hours to do thumbnails right now the other the other the other two hours okay we're gonna spend we're gonna say one hour just just getting just getting uh everything uploaded everything uploaded and maybe and maybe uh some social social promotion right if you if if you have that if you have a Discord and then one hour okay studying content okay so this is so this is this is what we have here right so we have so we have now exhausted our 10 hours okay so we have here okay 10 all we have is 10 hours a week right and what we're doing here is initially just creating a very basic plan I haven't even gone into details of how we're going to execute this right but I just want to show you how you need to start looking at this right because a lot of times you'll be like I'm gonna stream Monday Wednesday Friday and I'm gonna stream for three hours and that's pretty much it and then at the end of those end of the week you're like all right I maybe have some content or uh you know what I I can't post right and instead you need to start thinking yourself as a Creator first a streamer second right if you want this the full-time streamer you want to be playing the game you know for a living and making money from playing the playing video games and enjoying and having a community and just live streaming then you need to do the work up front right and this is why we're taking the time to say okay we got 10 hours in a week all right I'm gonna go ahead and and stream one time per week okay stream time per week one time per week for three hours with the goal of creating content and if and if and if people come in that is a plus but I'm not going to wait for people to come in to create content right when I started this live stream I didn't I didn't engage with anybody who's here I didn't even look to see how many people were in the chat I started my video with the idea of saying hey I gotta think about who's gonna watch this video once it's done so I need to make this content to make sure that it's functional and the people that are here I'm going to be able to engage with right so so we have now so we have now three hours to stream okay we're gonna spend one hour going through our live stream to make sure that we can figure out what videos we want to be able to use this week to be able to upload right then we're gonna go ahead and spend two hours editing and kind of learning that's going to change as you progress and then we're going to spend two hours on thumbnails and title right now the one thing that actually is is is is is the most important is how we're going to execute this in what order right and then we have one hour to upload maybe post on Discord and then we're going to spend one hour studying content so um before I dive in and tell you about how you actually study content so that way you can improve uh let me see what kind of questions uh we have here man so uh live says I stream every day I'm a new streamer but my most viewed streaming this week has eight views advice for me bro um so the first thing is that first I commend you for live streaming every single day right and I want you to start looking at this right if you had eight viewers come in and you were streaming every single day right what would what would happen I'm curious right if you decided to go ahead and say you know what instead of me streaming every day let me just stream two times a week and then and then I can spend the rest of my time creating content what I like to call Little soldiers that are working for you 24 7 that are getting people to find you right so um at some point uh maybe later today later late in this in the Stream I'm gonna I could show you guys how my channel performs every single month right where it's like it doesn't matter if I upload 10 videos this month doesn't matter if I upload four videos a month right I know that the videos that I'm making have have a goal and I'm gonna get views month in month out every single month My Views are going up I'm getting new people coming to the channel why because I'm making the actual content and people are finding me right um and that's what I want you to understand it's not about it's not what I'm not what I'm not saying is what I'm saying what I'm not saying is like streaming every day is bad that's not what I'm saying right what I'm saying is streaming every day is bad if you don't have an audience right but if you already built an audience you tend to tap in your Nick marks your doctor's respect you're all these top streamers right you've built an audience guess what you can go live every single day because when you go live you have built-in audience that comes and watches you not only are you generating review from ads you're generating revenue from Brand deals you're creating content while you're live like it's it's a different animal right because now what they're doing and what a lot of people don't see is that they're going live because they're creating content every single day every single day they create content now mind you they have teams they have people that they can edit their content however they're creating content every day to go post on social media across every platform so that way they keep getting found keep getting found keep getting found and then you just rinse and repeat because that's how the money train moves right so um so let's see here right um he said wow got my stats exactly five minutes two minutes average iteration great tips yeah 100 so so 100 like for five minute videos you want to be trying to aim for at minimum like your target should be the average view duration should be about 60 60 plus that that that's what you want your goal to be uh towards the end to be able to kind of get that in there um so we got here a short can easily bring 1K views in a couple days if you use the right hashtag a trick someone showed me um so I kind of I kind of agree I kind of disagree um with that so I don't you know hashtags don't really play a role into into a short it's more about like what I want to get across here right when it comes to YouTube it's like there isn't a hack right there isn't a hashtag there isn't a tag there isn't a title there isn't things that create hacks in the system that's going to generate more views what's going to give you the views is creating content for humans right you got to think about the way that you personally enjoy content right when you're watching shorts what makes you stop does it make you curious does it make you laugh right is it entertaining that's how you start to get you like YouTube's only goal is to get people to watch videos to get them to watch more videos so they can show them more ads and make money right so if you think about that how can I entertain somebody how can I get somebody to stop what they're doing and watch my videos because I took the time to understand what they like what they don't like what's funny what's not funny and now I got them start watching this video and watching more right so that's kind of what I want you to to think about not to say that those things like hashtags and tags are not important but like the scale of weight like if I had to decide where hashtags falls on my scale of importance it's like out of the camera right um so that's kind of just what I want you to think to think about we have sinned the man in the house what is going on brother super happy to have you here man super happy to have you here it's like nice to see you all right so now we have now we have he exhausted our 10 hours right so remember if you have 10 hours uh to be able to stream now we've exhausted this right so now in what order do we do this right so let's go ahead and break this down okay now I'm gonna do is like how to structure uh my stream okay so now remember all of our content is coming from the live stream okay like we're literally using the live streaming to create our content so that needs to be at the Forefront without the live stream we can't create content another thing I want to share okay if you can't go live that's totally fine right you don't need to go live to be able to do this you can take those three hours not go live but just focus on creating content right you can be on your console you can be on your computer you can just record the video in those three hours and there's your content right so you don't have to go live the live is a plus because you're able to go ahead and connect with people now if I've been giving you some value thus far in this video make sure you hit the like button so that we can get this out to more people right um so so we have here how to structure My Stream right so opening opening minutes okay now here's here's where this this kind of changes up right and and a good example of this is when you go ahead and take a look at the at this live stream or any live stream that I've Done Right my live streams on YouTube don't start with a starting soon screen they don't start with a countdown timer right again this is for YouTube specifically right if you're streaming on Kik if you're streaming on Twitch it's okay to do the starting soon and the countdown timer right because those platforms don't have no discoverability right after the video is is done you're most likely going to download it chop it up and then get it up on on YouTube uh to be able to start getting the exposure right however if you are streaming to YouTube it's a little bit different right because once the stream is done that that live stream if packaged the right way and done the right way we'll get out to more people right so the opening minutes are super important right so we once we must go ahead and think about that but before we go ahead and think about what we're gonna say when the live stream starts we need to think about titling okay title and thumbnail okay now this is this is the thing right here title and thumbnail this is what stops a lot of streamers from coming over to YouTube and and wanting to stream because it's more work okay um but however more work doesn't mean worse results more work in doing it this way means that long term you're going to see a lot of results right so I'm super I'm so I'm gonna break down why having a title a good title for your stream um and a thumbnail is important for what it is you're going to do right um so let's see let's see what what what questions we have here right so uh what is the best editing app for iPhone um cap cut is is free super easy to use uh tons of tutorials online uh for you to be able to edit um and it does an amazing job so if you're not using cap cut uh utilize it it only works on iPhone Android and on the web and it's completely free so definitely highly recommend it um let's see here uh uh Matt what is going on Welcome to the stream welcome to the Stream uh the community uh with Yusuf what is going what's your favorite editing software uh so my favorite editing software I'm you know I mean this setup right here is a hundred percent uh Mac so so what happens is that you know I'm gonna utilize I utilize Final Cut Pro right um so that's that's kind of what I'm utilizing here that's there's there's my Mac Mini and then I utilize Final Cut Pro but what I always like to say is that it doesn't matter what editing software um you utilize it's whichever you feel comfortable with and you want to be able to learn right there's tons of options out there you got DaVinci Resolve you got Adobe Premiere you got iMovie you got cap cut you got Final Cut Pro and the list is endless right there's probably something I don't even know the names of just pick one get started with it and start creating content right don't let the don't let the editing software slow you down from being able to create content right all right all right perfect let's see here um question here do I need an Elgato hd60 uh plus s with a US 3.0 yeah 100 um pretty much every every Elgato um needs a 3.0 connection um you know so so just just keep that in mind when you're doing that um all right let's see here we got a super chat from my boy here Mr oh he him says man allow me to introduce myself it's not luck 100 man super excited to see the mister in the house what is going on man what is going on welcome welcome for anybody's own no Mr oh he him good friend of mine um he's getting ready to have a baby so let's let's congratulate him for uh getting ready to be a father uh to a little girl all right let's see here Shawna in the house wait hold on Shawna where are you getting this money from my account no just playing it says uh sheepadog saying hey you grading joyful let's go let's go all right um Alan says here your video on being able to do YouTube and twitch at the same time helped a ton man look that that video has gotten love and hate at the same time right because there's this thing about like you know hey you know twitch has this TOs and you know if you're multi-streaming from twitch and you're multi-streaming to kick you know then or or to YouTube then you're gonna be able to get get banned right and and again right this is where you gotta understand it's like don't tie yourself to a single platform now if you stream from console and you can't stream nowhere else and you only can stream to Twitch the biggest thing you know again this is uh disclaimer do it at your own risk right I would make a burner account for my twitch for my twitch just to get my stream over to another platform right if I'm on console and then if I'm on the if I'm on a computer and I have OBS and all these tools that I'm able to utilize to be able to multi-stream like listen I'm not taking No affiliate deal uh I'm not I'm not I'm coming no partner um and if you guys want to stop me from making content on this platform that's totally fine right because I'm not married to the platform I'm married to my community right and the audience that I've built that's that's who I care about right and if I'm doing right by my audience it doesn't matter the platform that I'm on you know we should gravitate together to continue this kind of enjoyment right and that's kind of why I continue to create content right because I can't always be live so I want the content to be live for me 24 7. so all right all right so we got here we got here titles and and thumbnails right so first I'm going to break down the structure of a live stream and then I'm gonna break down like how you should be thinking about this right again if you're just tuning in definitely hit the like button second thing is that what I'm doing here is literally opening up the currents to what I'm going to be doing when it comes to building a brand new gaming channel and live streaming on that brand new channel right and and the and the caveat here is that even though I have tons of hours I'm only giving myself 10 hours a week to be able to do this and within one year my goal is to make that a full-time income right um so so so right now if if you what if you if I were to say hey right now um I would give you x amount of dollars to be able to go full time let me know in the comments how much money you would need uh per hour let's say or even per month to be able to consider this to be a full-time thing for you I'm curious to know so let me know let me know in in the comments there all right so we got title thumbnail opening minutes right okay we got here content okay and I'll and I'll break this down here in a second right okay content content content okay closing okay this this is literally right here the the structure remember okay we're we're going live assuming nobody's gonna show up especially in the beginning right who's who's gonna show up if I'm building a brand new channel I'm just starting live streaming and nobody knows who I am right so guess what every every hour I'm spending creating a piece of content right so I'm there for three hours every hour I'm making a piece of content so I'm not worrying so much about the people who are coming into the chat but if they do I am going to address them right you see what I'm doing here right I'm trying to like be meta right like show you what what I would do but also doing it in real time so I'm making a video as we speak right but I'm also engaging with my community so I just want you to kind of just understand how this works and why this is so effective in what it is you're doing right I'm not somebody who just talks about it I actually play the game that I'm trying to show you how to play so so let's take a look at what we got here it says um uh who we have here um it says allowed me to grow an entire other platform without saying bye to my YouTube audience thank you love that man always always cater to the audience here says hello welcome welcome super happy to see you here um question Bobby says my biggest issue is making computer and console audio two separate things that way I can show the game I'm playing and be able to switch what I'm doing on my computer so you know that's all going to be based on how you have everything set up and what kind of gear you have so the biggest thing it's going to be hard for me to troubleshoot here on the live stream so the biggest thing I can encourage you is to join into the Discord Community um there should be a link in the chat in in the um in the description as the last curry.com forward slash Discord jump in there the Discord is not Super Active yet I'm actually working on on getting it uh more active as I go through this process of building everything out however um there are some amazing people in there and I'm in there a few times throughout the week to be able to kind of help you so if you want me to kind of help you break that stuff down uh we can kind of go in there and then of course if it's too deep then you know we may have to jump on a call do kind of like a coaching and then I can kind of work it through your whole setup right so those options are always available if you have questions remember to be able to go ahead and put a q in front for us to be able to see it right so what kind of what kind of go it says question when you've promoted your content yourself and it's not working should you pay professionals to promote your channel and get the eyes on it see this is where I wish I had some sound effects because I would be like oh no right so here's so here here's the thing right promoting your content all right all right let me let me see how I can break this down because this this this is this a pretty good question and it's something that's pretty common right so you're promoting your content you the thing is that if you're making content on YouTube right you shouldn't need to promote your content off of YouTube right so so again right it you can right like it doesn't hurt for you to go and say oh Twitter come check me out oh um Discord come check me out right it doesn't hurt for you to be able to do that right the thing is that when you understand who you're making content for and what the goal of your video is right let me give you an example here so when I'm thinking about making a video uh when it comes to like let's say OBS right so I'm thinking about okay who's a person in my community that uses OBS right okay so this person most likely has a console right has a computer has a capture card um and is trying to use OBS right and and but they don't just know how to get things set up Okay cool so I have that in my mind all right so now the next thing I think about it's like okay now I know what problem that person is having so now let me make this style let me make this video that's going to solve that problem but what if that person doesn't even know they have this problem how am I going to get them to find my video I'm not gonna try to make a video that's gonna just somebody's gonna type in my goal is to have my video pop up on your home feed so I got to think about okay what can I say that's going to get them to be able to go ahead and click on my video so maybe what I can do is that my title can be something along the lines of like um uh just getting started with OBS here's here's here's a step-by-step guide you know I'll give more thought to the title but in a sense of it's like now when this person's scrolling is like oh yeah I just got OBS like oh he's gonna teach me how to set it up boom click right because YouTube is gonna find the right person okay he's gonna find the right person with the right content at the right time right so if you spend time doing the planning of understanding like who's this video for what is this video going to be about and then how can I create it so that it makes sense to that person I promise you everything will start to unlock for you right and then you don't have to worry about promoting it uh doing tags doing keywords like all these things that is just like we've come conditioned to do just because that's what's out there but in all reality like just create videos for other humans and if you can connect with them they'll click it YouTube will find them and they'll keep showing that video to more people so I don't know if that answered answered the question I wouldn't pay somebody to promote my video right knowing what I know I just I just wouldn't um I would pay somebody to create my thumbnails I would pay somebody to edit you know um but I wouldn't pay somebody to promote my my video unless it's a collaboration that I'm doing with another Creator right um all right so let's see here all right so now that we have the title thumbnails opening minutes content content closing okay what this is so this is how you structure your dream on your stream I promise you if you do this your streams will be so much better so what do I mean by title and thumbnail right you may be saying like yo Kirby but you know I stream on on YouTube I mean I stream on Kik or I stream on Twitch there is no thumbnail but there is a title right so a lot of people like to utilize basic titles like playing war zone come check me out um on apex come check me out um so and and there's no sense of like curiosity like why would somebody be interested with with them having thousands of options to choose from and the top percent of of streamers pretty much pull all the viewers on those platforms why would somebody come and click your video that says playing Apex with friends right or it there's no interest there right so when when you approach a title and you say and you say um playing Call of Duty war zone but I can only use a pistol right it's a little bit more you're a little bit more Curious right so you got to think about what's that Curiosity what's that thing that that is just like weird right that's like taking things that people are familiar with like everybody knows like Call of Duty everybody knows Apex everybody knows League of Legends everybody knows Counter-Strike Okay cool so they know that but what can I tie that they don't know right um so another thing right it's like if you're playing Apex right then it's like then it's like uh playing Apex but my audience picks my guns right now you have a little bit more curiosity into what you're doing right so if you title it that way you're gonna get more people to come and check it out so so now I'm like okay I'm gonna play I'm gonna play um a I'm gonna play let's say for example uh for me what I'm gonna be doing on on my stream is I'm gonna be playing 2K right so I'm gonna I'm creating a basketball gaming channel right that's what I'm going right so if I'm gonna do this I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna think about okay look I'm gonna start this I'm gonna start this this piece of content and I'm gonna go ahead and say you know that for the first for the first hour of me creating content I'm gonna do a video that's about me um you know playing uh plain Park uh but can only score with layups right and again these are not my end titles these are just ideas for me to know what I'm gonna do right so I'm gonna I'm gonna play three on three basketball but I can only score with layups right okay cool that's gonna be my first piece of content right my next my next piece of content I'm like okay cool I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna go ahead and do okay so I got playing Park can only do layups all right so what is the next thing that I'm that I'm that I'm gonna probably do maybe what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and try to get all right I'm gonna get dunking on people Clips right so so now so now here right so now I'm like okay in my next hour I'm just gonna focus on getting as many dunks as I possibly can so that way when I go edit this video I can do something like top 10 dunks of the week right so now now I spent two hours right and then on my last hour now I'm thinking of that next of the next thing that I can actually do so I hope that like that's kind of like making sense how you approach this and how you become efficient when you're doing this right so so let's see here right uh what what socials should I upload Clips on great question right so Clips are going to be great for YouTube shorts Tick Tock Instagram reels it's going to be a great opportunity to be able to show clips right the one thing that I want you to kind of understand is that the way you create the clips also matters right it's because it's just so many people they're just playing Clips right so what I want you to think about is like how can I take clips and also add a Twist to it right so how can I do something that everybody's doing but make it a little bit different by what I'm doing so that it becomes something unique right and that's how you get people to start finding your Clips right like you see somebody on Call of Duty and they're doing Clips but they're doing crazy sniper shots right that's that's a little bit different so you wanna figure out ways for you to be able to make what you're creating a little bit different and that and and you know how you make things different and if and and like the stream if you want me to tell you what it is right um but but ultimately what it is is is is literally this right here okay this one hour of studying content if you spend that one hour every week studying other other gaming channels right or other creators in your space and you spend time studying their content and looking at what they're uploading and what they're actually doing that's how you start to get ideas and you'll be like oh I saw this person do this I saw this person do this oh I wonder if I can mix these two things together and make something brand new and then that's how you start getting uh exposure on your content right um says Hey watching from is that Alabama it's Alabama I think it is Alabama um two hours two hours editing two hours titles and thumbnails three hours equals live stream one hour live stream clipping one hour studying content one hour equals uploading 100 that is the strategy that I'm gonna be utilizing to be able to grow this channel right um and again I'm just dedicating 10 hours if you have more hours where would I allocate that to I would allocate that to not to more streaming I would allocate that to more studying content and looking at editing more content right um so just keep that just keep that in mind um let's see here all right let's take a look here all right it says I use uh pixart for photo editing and cap cut for editing on my phone 100 I think I think that's that's the way to go great stuff bro Master Class look I'm trying to give the whole game away man like all right everybody we're going we're going to this new room you're gonna have to pay a hundred dollars to be able to get in so I can show this information man um again the reason why I share all this stuff is one because I was gonna do this behind the scenes anyways right and it's just like I know that you know it's this may sound a little bad but I know that a lot of people are not willing to take action right so I can share the game I can give it all away because some people are just not willing to take the action and and that's just the world that we live in now there's so much information out there to be able to learn and utilize but sometimes it's just a little hard to kind of take action so hopefully my goal is to show you me doing it and at the same time I can guide you and hopefully that gives you a little bit of encouragement it's like oh this is not this is not just fakeness this is like oh this is real there's actually a process to this it's not luck to grow as a Creator it's just think that a lot of people just don't talk about this right here because it's not sexy right it's not about it's just not sexy that's just what it is but this is the key and this is what people don't share so it's just like I just want to be a uh super transparent with you guys and show this to you um so what we got here um [Music] riddle says here would you suggest just streaming for a PC or using a PS5 and PC together um if you have the ability to use a PC I would always recommend to utilize a PC you're just going to have more flexibility you want to be able to record the content a little bit more flexible um but if you only have a PC feel free to record I have a whole playlist on my channel that not only shows you how to stream from the PS5 it shows you I'll show you how to record content on the PS5 and then I even show you how to edit videos on the PS5 without needing a PC right so it just depends on on your route if I was in your shoes and I have the access to a capture card and my PS and a PC and a PS5 I would go to the PC route just because I would have more flexibility in creating content right um so I'll go ahead and think about that right um says I love what you're doing I'm learning so much from your videos man that is the goal right I just want people to be able to take the videos get out there take action and be able to learn in terms of learn right and now with these live streams I want you to take what you're learning and if you're running into some roadblocks either join the Discord right go to lastcarby.com forward slash Discord and as we grow that Community there'll be tons of people in there that's going to be able to help you get unstuck the goal with the Discord that I'm trying to build is to create this safe place where you just see other streamers other creators that are there to support and motivate each other and I think that at the end of the day that's what you want to do as a Creator right you don't want to be the only person that's given the answers right I'm not the smartest guy in the room right there's other people with different experiences that are able to share things that I'm not so if I can be the person that's pulling in the right people into a community right and those people now begin to help each other I've now created more impact and I've counted now multiplied myself and made you more successful in the process so um that's kind of that's kind of like the the goal there right so who do we have here in the house we have zip says uh cap cut is Major key listen it it it definitely it definitely does helps um it says Mark in the house I like your videos are very helpful real look I appreciate you tuning in and being here again you guys this is what what is like so rewarding about becoming a Creator and sharing your experience and sharing your knowledge and just wanting to you know share the things you believe in because you never know who you can Inspire who you can kind of motivate to be able to do some amazing things so just always keeping that in mind right and whenever you feel afraid to create content just get out there because you never know who you're gonna inspire all right so we got destruction right so this last one that I'm gonna do here is like okay dunking on 10 people um let's go ahead and and and and saying like what would be another what would be another another good every idea all right so let me show you how I would I would go about doing this right so like I'm stuck I don't have an idea right so what am what so what am so what am I gonna do right I'm gonna come here to to YouTube and I'm gonna type in NBA 2k uh 23 right because I'm playing a basketball game right so I'm gonna come here and I'm I'm going to search right because I'm gonna try to get ideas to see what is available for me to be able to do right first I'm gonna look in my same space if I can't get an idea from my same space I'm going to go ahead and look outside of 2K and look at other games to see if I can get inspiration right so again let's let's go ahead and go through this I need I need an idea for that third that third video right um so let's see I'm going to start searching I'm going to look here uh build right okay look that that's that's something that I know is super popular right so okay cool so on this on this last hour I'm gonna focus on creating a player that is a great shooter right so making a player that has 99 shooting right okay cool so now I have that I have that I have that in place so now I made three different videos right I have one video where I'm gonna like okay I'm gonna start my stream I'm gonna play with my friends and I can only score with a layup okay cool I'm gonna do that for one hour right um then the next hour I'm like okay cool now I'm gonna switch to a new topic I'm gonna go ahead and start dunking on people because I'm going to try to create a 10 top top 10 dunks of the week okay cool I'm gonna do that for one hour right then I'm like okay last hour I'm like okay now I'm gonna go ahead and build a new player so that way if anybody's out there and they want to make a new player that can shoot this is this is this is this is the player they should make right so now I'm gonna make that okay cool now I just made three videos okay three videos in three hours okay because I had a plan right and if I'm only uploading one video a week I just created three three weeks worth of content right three weeks worth of content okay so now what do I mean by closing and opening minutes this this this this is important right be because this video this live stream if you do it on on YouTube it's going to stay open right now now you you can unlist it if you want to but if you do it the way that I'm telling to and you have this strategy in place this video can also live to be live right if you go look at my last live stream right that was a live stream that I talked about uh helping people start from zero I literally Built My stream live on stream step by step because that's that's what I'm gonna do right um so if I share here my uh my OBS right this is the stream this is what we built last week right I built out my stream um and I started just chatting everything to build it out right but guess what when I was live that video got 200 something views right 200 something views here we are six days later that video is about to hit 1500 views right because I planned it in a way that way it makes sense for somebody who's coming in to watch it after it's done it still has value to them right um they're not sitting there watching a countdown timer screen for 10 minutes they're not sitting there me just sitting there trying to figure out what I'm gonna do on my stream for 10 minutes right like as soon as the video starts my content starts right um so that's kind of some of the things that I kind of want you to kind of guys to think about all right so let's let's clear before I talk about opening minutes and I talk about uh closing let's go ahead and see who's who's here inside of the month inside of here right so I asked this question a little while ago two thousand dollars per month to go full time right three to four thousand dollars per month to go full time right James six in the house saying what's up fam just tapping in for a bit keep pushing sir we're here man we are here man appreciate you stopping by um about that life says 20 USD an hour right uh Mark says I need fourteen hundred dollars um I forget what kind of currency that is somebody let me know what kind of this right um to be able to kind of stream so so again you see that everyone has a different experience as to like how much money they need to be able to succeed right so this is why I say some will take a year to be able to get there some will be less it's all based on how much money you need right and and the biggest thing that I believe in is that I don't want to depend my income just on my viewers subscribing becoming members um super chatting because it's inconsistent right over time yeah it could create some consistency in your income but I want to think about things that I can have a little bit more control of that I can kind of build something for myself that whether people come and go right there's people that's going to rock with you on your stream right and then for months and months and months and then guess what life happens they got to do something else and then they they trickle off right so again you always have this this people coming and leaving coming and leaving right so always keep that keep that in mind man um it says here do you use a powered USB hub and does it affect your computer speed um so what I use a little bit different um so what I what what this is this is a hub right here right um and um so it it doesn't it doesn't affect it doesn't affect doesn't affect the computer that I'm using right now that doesn't mean that if you use a hub it's not going to affect um the actual computer but for the most part you know it's it's all based on what you get and what you're loading it with if you're just plugging in you know a keyboard and a mouse and you know some speakers or some lights it shouldn't have no issues and it shouldn't affect your computer um and I use powered USB hubs uh all the all the time so I'm super excited about that it says question here I don't have the port on my PC if you don't have the port on your PC you could get an external Hub I'm going to tell you right now that I've done I've dealt with a few Elgato capture cards and I haven't um I haven't had the most success when it comes to Hubs so you may have a different experience but uh for me I've always had to plug it in directly if anybody here in the chat uh uses Elgato and they use an external Hub uh for a capture card uh you know hook up my boy sniper and let them know what we can actually do here man like button has been selected I appreciate it I appreciate all right so let's see let's get to this question and then I'm going to break down to you guys how you start your stream and how you should end it and again a lot of these a lot of these things I'm telling you is if you're going to be streaming on YouTube you don't have to do you don't have to go so in deep um on Twitch and kick but it just makes the editing a lot easier right so question from uh from from John here and welcome to the stream brother um how important are different angles in live stream I have a three cam setup but don't notice a huge difference in retention uh from when I use one cam I mean at the end of the day it all depends right you see me constantly switching because it's just a thing of just attention right so it all depends on when you're looking at your retention it depends on what you're saying and and how important it is what it is you're saying and how you keep people watching right so in my last live stream when I went ahead and continue to switch cameras right it may not make the difference but with just something about creating an interrupt and letting your eyes see something different that can sometimes just re-engage you to listen right so if I'm always on this camera maybe the setup in the background okay it looks good right and you keep watching me but it's going to come a point where like me doing this all the time and just you seeing the same thing you're going to tune out but if I give you a different look and I start switching on you and you're just like oh okay now you got something different to look at while I'm talking right so so it's just a matter of fact of understanding how people like to watch content works for some doesn't work for others I recommend utilizing it just because it gives people a different look um into what it is you're doing right so you get to see what you get to see what I see here um and it's just a little bit different right so uh ZIP says I need 3 500 uh to be able to stream right so um let's go okay so let's see here all right so let's go ahead and let's go ahead and get back here to what it is that uh I kind of wanted to go ahead and and share so opening minutes this is what I like to call the most important part of the video when the video starts especially on YouTube right so if I start if I started this live stream right like this and I was just like okay the title is you know uh becoming a full-time content creator it's not luck um and I have my thumbnail but then I start the video like this all right let me uh get this set up all right let me see if the chat's here all right let me see if anybody's tuning in all right guys am I live let me see if I'm live all right and I'm going through guess what you just did right you just went ahead and anybody who's trying to watch that live stream in the replay they've gone they're gone maybe they'll give you an opportunity to skip forward until they get to the point but why make them work harder right so so instead of the opening minutes I want to go ahead and start my videos Okay cool so I got I got here um becoming a full-time streamer it's not luck boom as soon as I'm like okay if I said that in the title that's my first line of of my video what's going to be the second line right because they already know that this is what this video is going to be about so what can I say in the opening minutes that's going to get them to and I'll keep watching right so so now here we go right title becoming a full-time a full-time uh streamer it's not luck right so boom I hit go live so many people say that that's that streaming is luck but what I can tell you is that it's not right and today I'm going to show you guys is exactly how you can become a full-time streamer by following this plan that I'm going to be following to go ahead and build a gaming YouTube channel and to go ahead and stream full-time within one year right it's a different vibe you you it just it's just it's just different right just that little change now gets somebody more interested in watching your videos right so it's super important like don't underestimate these little these little tidbits of how you do that right and then you dive into the content right so if I would so if I was doing this if I was doing this if you like that go ahead and hit the like the like up I just did that on the fly so it just it just it just flowed I'm glad it worked out the way that it did um so for the opening minutes right um so if I'm doing this video right here and I'm like okay I'm doing 2K I'm doing basketball what's going to be my title my title can be any one of these right here right now I would spice this up a little bit right you can this is where you can leverage a little bit of AI to get some inspiration uh you chat CPT and then also understanding who your viewers are and what's working out there to create a good title so I can just pick any one of these right so if I know that my first video is playing Park but can only can only uh do a layup right so then if I start this live stream I'm gonna upset like this right here's my live stream so you can say man today's gonna be in a crazy day so not only am I going to go ahead and and play park with my viewers I can only make layups crazy right not only that I'm gonna try to dunk on as many people as I possibly can so so be ready for that right and then after that I'm gonna show you guys how to make the best player okay with a 99 3 that's going to shoot lights out right you'll be unguardable right so let's let's go ahead and dive into it right who who wants like you see the difference of how that how that how that functions and how that feels when when you have a plan for your live stream right so let me know let me know in the comments is that if that's clicking for you and if this is adding value to how you're looking at at streams man I'm super excited about it super excited about all right let me get caught up here on the on on on the actual uh on the actual chat right um says have you tried streaming someone's screen on Twitch while they screen share on PS5 have you tried streaming someone's screen on Twitch while they screen share on PS5 so um there was a video that I did that was kind of like a hack right where you actually stream to YouTube and then you use a web platform a web you stream to Twitch and then use a software to be able to pull in um that twitch stream to send it out to YouTube and kick and it was like free um but it has a little bit of bugs but um I've done that before right to be able to get around I definitely know what what it means like to be on a console um uh so let's see who we got here um what's good yo just Legend what is going on what is going on super happy to see you here man since I've been doing YouTube for six months and I'm at 400 subs and I can't give views on my videos or live streams and I always wanted to do this and I will stick to it look if you set a plan right and you start getting super clear on on what it is you want to do um that's gonna allow you to have success right and again I'm documenting this process right I'm bringing you guys on the journey I'm literally telling you what I would do to build out a brand new gaming YouTube channel and what I would do to live stream and the caveat is I only have 10 hours to do it and that's super realistic for a lot of people to be able to dedicate even five to ten hours uh to be able to do this right so keep doing your thing much respect from Japan from Japan oh look who's in the house man what's going on Blake time for Tech what is going on man super excited to see you here hey let's go he's coming he's got me excited he's got me excited Blake hey it's my brother let's go man I'm super excited for that um what's the name of those two books on the desk oh you saw some books on the desk let's see here um how'd you see those books oh you saw them this way oh like this all right so this is um this is here the coaching habit says say less ask more and change the way you lead forever super good book if you even just wanna have better communication with the people that you kind of engage with um and then here is uh story worthy it's engaged teach persuade and change your life through the power storytelling this is an amazing book right and this is a great way this is a great book to be able to read um not only to just educate yourself how to tell better stories even when you're meeting people for the first time but it's a great way to be able to create better content by telling stories so um definitely highly recommended especially even for even for uh even for a gaming channel if you can tell a story in the in the content that you're creating in your gaming like it's crazy even when you're live streaming if you can tell stories when you're live stream here I'll show you I'll share a story with you guys um here in a few minutes if if if I see us get us to about 65 likes um I'll show you guys a story that um happened last year right before I got married um all right so um the coaching habit yeah that that is close I know I'm a little behind on the chat but it's all good um this question all right I'm using aircast I paid for a subscription I'm streaming from twitch um I connected my Kik in YouTube but it's not starting the stream on YouTube even doing the out of start it worked yesterday here's the two things I can remember I know that it's not going to be as solid as you want it to be one it's a little bit harder for me to troubleshoot here live right so you got two options number one uh jump into my Discord the lastcory.com forward slash Discord and then um we can go ahead and connect in there second thing is aircast does have their own Discord as well with their own customer support that you can reach out to to see if there might have been a bug they may be doing an update I would just go ahead and take take a look at that um we have tons of coaching books we read oh man tons yo Sam in the house what is going on brother what is going on man super happy to see you here um if you have any kind of questions make sure you put a q in the front and then you can go ahead and answer it all the way all the way through right um so let's let's take a look here all right last question and then I'm gonna dive in to tell you guys about how we should uh go ahead and end and end our uh live streams right so I need help with how to have nice audio that sounds good I have watched so many videos hoping uh you can maybe show me on OBS where stuff should sit do I have a video Shawna can you check to see if I have a video on my YouTube channel talking about audio I believe I do um of how to make oh yes I do right so there's a video on my channel especially for OBS that talks about how to make any mic any mic sound professional in OBS right it's like a four minute video I promise you if you watch that and you do what it is it said I say in that video you'll have amazing audio for your microphone and then I want you to let me know in the comments of that video on whether or not it works for you or not right um so I'm super excited about that all right so we got here opening minutes right and and we just I just showed how powerful that is to be able to do that in live streams right now the closing this is where it changes a little bit right because if you are streaming to Twitch and kick it's a little bit different right it doesn't really doesn't really matter what you say at the end right it can be like all right guys I'll see you guys tomorrow no I'll take that back right it does matter what you say at the end even if you're on Kik or twitch right this is an opportunity when when I used to stream on on mixer right I know a long time ago rip let's take a moment of silence for mixer um but literally what what had happened was that every time that I ended uh my live stream it was a great opportunity for me to give somebody an action to come and join my Discord right so here's here's what I here's what I would do something you can do it's going to be a little bit different for YouTube I'm going to share it here now in a few moments um and I'm also going to do it today here on this live stream as well but um if you're on Twitter and Cake this is this is what I would say right say all right guys I'm getting ready to go ahead and end the stream but wait look I had so much fun today right and I hope you did I hope it's not capped but um have so much fun today guys but look go ahead and join my Discord that's where I pretty much hang out after my live stream I come in there for a few minutes uh be able to engage you guys that's where like I'm building the community so that way you don't have to worry about notifications on Twitch um or or on Kik you can literally be in there with the community keep up what we're doing and then it's a way for us to build the community so go ahead and join that and then uh remember guys I stream every Monday Wednesdays and Friday at 2 p.m so I can't wait to see you guys there boom and then click right and that and that can look like whatever it is you want so that's what I would do if I was on Kick and twitch I would always try to push my viewers into my Discord so that way next time I have a better opportunity to start with more viewers right now for YouTube what I would do on YouTube here is that remember what we talked about earlier right what does YouTube want to get more people watching more videos right so if you look at my last live stream what I didn't end it and say all right guys I love you I I think I did say I love you so I'll take that back but um I was like look if you guys want to see exactly what I went ahead and did today setting up setting up overlays on OBS go ahead and watch this video right here and then what I did when the live stream ended up I'll put the video right there and now you guys can if anybody makes it to the end of that two hour live stream you're gonna go watch that video right um so so again the goal there is to end your live stream telling somebody to go do something else right and that's going to vary based on what you want it to be is it going to be to join your Discord is it going to be to watch another video on you on on your channel right which I hope it is because that's what we're trying to do with growing this and again I'm going to be doing all this and I'm sharing with you on a new channel that I'm building but um I just want you guys to know that all right so let's let's take a look here um 48 Laws of Power golden should be required for any business uh 40 lots of power it's actually recommended by Zan the man I have it I have it right there dangerous book dangerous all right um the the art yeah yeah all right question uh have you tried prism live um Studio your thoughts if so I have tried prism live studio they actually were a um I actually did a sponsored video with them um to start to integrate uh mobile streaming um into my community right somebody done one of those videos now something that I've done uh too much of but I am going to tap in a little bit more into mobile streaming because I know a lot of people who are gaming on mobile doing just live stream on mobile in general so I I had a great experience with the mobile with the mobile app I haven't used their prism live studio like the OBS version of it but I hear some good things about it right and a lot of things you can you can do with it but I can't comment too much on it because I've only experienced one side of it and when I did utilize it on my mobile device it worked it worked pretty good it did have some limitations um that I wish that it that it did but I know they just did an update and fix all those things so so again uh not too much for me to be able to kind of uh comment um let me see Karma if you ask me a question let me see I need some help uh nice audio okay let me let me let me go ahead I don't want I don't want to go too far um okay do you know do you know any anything programs you can use at home to substitute a stream deck shout out to you for the great content Coupe gaming man welcome man so there's tons of options and somebody asked me this question last time and I told myself that I would go ahead and get it for you but um as far as a stream deck right so I have I have the the stream deck right here however there is there is a a app that you're able to utilize if Sam is still in here I know Sam knows some tools that he can utilize for for stream deck and I just can't think of the name that is called but it's one that you can use on your phone um Elgato has a version on the mobile app that you can get for the stream deck um and I think it's like nine dollars a month if I'm mistaken or a year I can't I can't I can't recall but they do have a mobile app and I did start using that excuse me in the beginning when I first started streaming just using my mobile device um so that that may be uh the best thing to be able to do there right um so let's see here which streaming platform would you say is the easiest to find an audience at for a rarity streamer at the moment well Tanya welcome man that's a great that's a great question I appreciate you guys asking some amazing questions you're giving me some great time stamps and some Great Clips to be able to make later um but so as far as the platform easiest to find an audience to find an audience I was just going to be YouTube right because right now this is the this is the best this is the best platform that's going to allow your content to live have a longer life cycle right and what I mean by that is just like when you're on Instagram when you're on Tick Tock when you're on Twitch and you're on Kik there's a short life cycle of your content right it's very hard to see a video that you post on Instagram on tick tock on um on any other platform on Twitter to see that extend a long lifestyle maybe it's it's still still trending and you know in a week maybe it's still getting Traction in a month you know but overall it has a short life cycle whereas on YouTube you can make a video today and it may flop but you know two three months later on the line it may just start taking off and you start to attract the people um that you want so again YouTube is the hardest platform to start streaming on hardest okay but in my eyes yeah I feel like it's the most rewarding one long term um because of what you're building there because of the tools that you're given um and that's why like for me you know in my first stream I had an idea I was like you know I'm gonna stream to kick I'm gonna stream to Twitch I'm gonna stream to Facebook you know but in all reality it's just like what's the goal right what am I trying to what am I trying to accomplish right do I want to meet people where they're at yes right I do want to get people who are on Kik to find out about me if that's where they're at but but I realize that if you're on Kick if you're on Twitch most likely you probably watch some kind of content on YouTube right so if I can foster a relationship in a community here on YouTube then you know who knows the idea may change later but for me it's always going to be the YouTube route that so if you've been watching the live stream so far right what we've been doing is literally figuring out the structure of how we're going to go ahead and go full time as a streamer within one year on a brand new Channel streaming only with only 10 hours a week to be able to do this right so we've now established our content right so go so the closing is send to a given action actually give an action all right so this took me three hours three hours of my of my 10 hours right so now I have a structure for my content the next thing that I'm going to do in this list here okay is I'm now going to spend the time the two hours focusing on the title and the thumbnails and the titles if we're posting this on YouTube right um so now I'm gonna go ahead and try to figure out and say okay here's the first video that I went ahead and made playing Park can only uh will can only with layup right obviously this title needs to be improved but I would spend time now figuring out what is going to be what is going to be the best way for me to create an image and a title that's going to get people a little bit curious to be able to kind of click on this right and again it this is just the game you got to play on here right and when you look at when if I come here and I look at and I look and I look at some content right let's go ahead and take a look at some gaming content let me know let me know let me know in the in the chat if you have a game that you want me to do a little bit of research on right so we can kind of look at and I can show you guys like how I would go about trying to figure out how can I make my gaming content uh be be pretty good right um so we say here this is great loving is planning I wasn't able to watch it last live stream so I watched it after it definitely helped that's there's the prime example right couldn't catch it live but was able to watch it afterwards right I'm so behind on chats I apologize uh Sam I really appreciate the Super Chat man it says thanks for sharing this man appreciate you man I appreciate you man um you know you know how how me and you rock so I really appreciate that man supporting again super chats not not required um but I'm super appreciative every opportunity I have to be able to be here with you guys and for you guys feeling to share the two things that are most valuable to you your time and your money so I'm super grateful um let's take a look here it's going meta making educational and Tech available okay look at this Hey listen uh let me call my lawyer real quick um we need to go ahead and get this uh trademarked you know um so I'm super excited about that it says do you think YouTube is the best platform to stream Kyle what is going on come on guys we can't we can't get the likes up a little bit but um all right do you do you like uh YouTube is the best platform to stream you know what foreign can you guys hear me like I just want a little bit of likes on my stream for all this value that I'm giving you guys appreciate it thank you love you all right all right so look all right so do you think YouTube is best like I mentioned before um I do believe the best platform to stream it it depends this is a great question right so if you don't have if you don't have an audience and you don't have a community then yes and then I would 100 follow the structure that I mentioned here to make sure that your live streams have some life after you finish them right um if you do have an audience YouTube doesn't have the greatest live experience just yet like in comparison to Twitch and Kik um so it really depends on where you're at in your journey but again I'm leaning into what I believe YouTube is leaning into which is investing in live streaming and seeing the value in what live streaming can do and how they can invest in live streaming and gaming right so I'm I'm gambling but I'm betting in on looking at YouTube's history of how they evolve over time and I'm just betting in that the experience is just going to continue to improve over and over again right um so let's let's take a look here man uh [Music] Karma if you could drop your question for me one more time that would be super helpful because I'm I'm deep I'm deep into these questions pause all right look um who we have here uh bone bz what's up man what's going on what is going on oh wait you look hey you look familiar where do I know you from um bipolar Gaming's in the house what is going on what is going on um Kay's in the house okay welcome welcome it says um YouTube constantly been doing you what up um oh Dominican no SEC okay um so I've been doing YouTube consistently for about two years still haven't reached a thousand Subs yet my audio camera lighting is great I'm consistent I don't know what else to do right so still haven't reached thousand Subs so you know a lot of the times and and and you know first off give yourself some Grace for just continuing to go through this process of YouTube right it's it's a long game it's a hard journey right and I just want to say like just excuse me just because we have good lighting right just because we have the the gear um doesn't automatically uh you know uh mean that our content is going to be super successful right so this is where you know on the sheet here you know one of the biggest things that I set aside here was for one hour uh I said hours uh one hour studying content right so it's super important that you spend a little bit of time kind of starting to understand like okay if I've been doing this for two years I'm making these styles of videos you know why is it not clicking right is it the video is it the idea is it because I'm not sure exactly who it is I'm trying to reach out to so I just you gotta ask yourself some questions about the content you're making and like I said it's super hard to be able to kind of just give you a direct answer to like oh what else do you need to do um I would just try to figure out if the content you're making is the right content for the audience you're trying to to reach out to but again feel free to join the Discord and um again my goal is to try to help or connect you with somebody who who does know um how to help you there um let's see here uh drop the Discord link I I should have dropped it I'm so late this is probably have been already resolved here um that that should be it there all right so who am I missing here all right so let's let's go ahead and go back here right so now that I've spent my two hours on my thumbnails right what I want to do now is I want to go ahead and spend some time figuring out those thumbnails right and let me just make sure anybody set a game that they wanted me to kind of look at uh call a Call of Duty all right Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 right uh and fortnite right okay so we we can go ahead and take a look at this right so I'll do Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 right so if I'm so if I'm going to be trying to see and and get and get clear on like what what's happening here right I'm starting to this is what I talk about like studying right like I'm trying to like see what gaming stuff is like okay like I see this guy has his face he's okay he's using like uh like the guns okay here's the guns you know and I see okay here's guns you know and I just see like okay more weapons more weapons I'm like okay so you know I'm starting to see like okay maybe you know what what really works on Call of Duty is is me playing with certain types of weapons and certain type of loadouts so maybe that can be a piece of content that I go ahead and make but what I noticed I was like okay cool so they showed the weapon so now when I'm trying to make my thumbnail I'm like okay how can I show the weapon right so that's how I kind of want you guys to kind of uh start kind of thinking about it when it comes to the thumbnail so if I go to my to my game and I go NBA 2K uh 24 and and I come in here right I'm going to start looking at this like okay what what is what is the people who watch 2K content familiar with right okay here it is close up of players right um here's okay some news and and of course I I see tons of of things that I can do a lot differently uh to really try to set myself apart trying to jump into a space of creators who've been in the game you know for several several years and I'm coming in uh as as a baby uh drinking milk um there's a lot of things so I I would spend a little bit of time doing this and taking notes and trying to see oh look who's this guy who's that guy um and then and then start to understand that right so okay so now I spent time on doing my my thumbnails so what's the next thing now I'm gonna go ahead and take these two hours right and now I'm gonna take these two hours and now I'm gonna focus on editing these videos right now now now now mind you this doesn't have to be all at the same time right you may just be able to edit one of these videos this week that's totally fine it may take you two hours to just do one video the beautiful thing is about is that now you have two other videos that you can work on next week when you have your new 10 hours because guess what happens right let's say let's say I told myself that I was going to stream uh every single Wednesday um at 7 30 p.m right but I know that this week I made it I'm here right now as we speak and I made my three pieces of videos next week Wednesday um Sean is like hey you know what I don't want to cook let's go to dinner right what am I gonna say no babe I gotta stream Navy but uh I love you babe you know I would never say that right so you know I would I I would you know not be able to stream but because the prior week I ended up making content three pieces of video I'm like okay cool I won't stream this week but I'll still have a piece of video to be able to upload and I think that's the beautiful thing about YouTube is that you're not so restricted to having to stream all the time like you would on Twitch or Kik you have a little bit more flexibility so I just want you to see why this is so powerful and how this compounds over a long period of time when you start doing it this way right so I would spend my two hours uh editing right okay cool now right now I gotta go ahead and get this video uploaded right so I would spend my hour uploading this video and then what I would do is that I would go ahead and take my one hour of of studying and I will start to look at other gaming channels I would start to watch other 2K channels and say like okay how are they making their videos right what are people saying in the comments how are people you know engaging and then that gives me ideas to say oh you know what I could probably do that in my next video and and that would be pretty good and then I promise you if you follow this here now I can I'm gonna go a little bit deeper I'm gonna share a little bit of guys a little about my channel um but if you follow that right there when you're streaming you'll see way more success you'll grow an audience a lot faster and you'll also start growing a YouTube channel by actually being thoughtful and strategic about the content you're creating so three hours in exchange for three videos which if you're doing one a week that's three weeks right so let me know in the comments right now if you would if you would give up three hours to get three weeks of your time back was not three hours three uh three weeks of your time but if you could stream for three hours one time a month and get three weeks of content would you do it right would you do it let me know in the comments um so let's let's see who we got here uh it says here your your videos have helped me a lot I can finally stream on YouTube that right there is what excites me I love being able to hear that the time that I spent on creating the content um is helping you so if you're finding value in this video right here make sure you hit the thumbs up on the video please um all right so let's see here it says hey bro I just seen you live wanted to come show some love you helped me with OBS a lot look triple that means I'm literally just now saying like that fills my cup up right because it just it just excites me and motivates me to keep creating because like look we don't we probably don't even live in the same state but I've been able to help you uncover a problem just by me be willing to kind of share the things that I'm learning right um and again there's people that are helping me trying to learn right like when I first started none of this existed none of this existed if you go into my Discord right lastcory.com forward slash Discord you would be able to see my first streaming setup I was in a little closet okay I was in I was in a little closet I kind of I kind of feel bad about it now I'm like I put all the stuff in the living room and I was living in the closet trying to stream trying to make trying to make it happen right and I just started with what I had and I think that that's what makes this thing beautiful about like I can look back and say like man I'm super grateful for being here where I am right now because I just decided to start and that's what I just that's why I create content I just want you guys to start um and I'm so glad to be able to hear you guys being able to do that um so let's see here um let's take a look who we got here says here on my shorts video I was getting one to 5K views but now I noticed my last three I haven't been able to surpass the 250 views Mark what do you recommend I should do so the first question is did anything change with the content that you're creating that's kind of that's kind of the first question uh to be able to know what happens also don't get discouraged if a short doesn't perform well out of the gate um over time it could get picked up and start and start doing what it needs to do right all right so so I now got go about you missed my comment about Tanya Super Chat and Karma elaborate on this question all right let's see here the boss has has spoken uh Tanya did a Super Chat what am I missing that what am I missing that where am I missing or that I missed it where is it all right let me see here um Tanya Tanya Tanya makes sense thank you I love YouTube I love everything you have taught me super excited about that uh the stream deck mobile app is is a good budget option to get started with uh Tanya left for Super Chat uh let's take a look it's not it's not it's not it's not coming up for me uh it's not coming up for me can you tell me what it what it said so I can at least give her some some thanks I really appreciate the Super Chat Tanya really a super uh also I deal with uh let me see in karma responded back all right so I can't I can't find it I apologize uh forgive me um I'm human all right so one so one hour studying content so this is this this is what I would do here right so now I've created a plan as to what I'm going to do for this stream right so now I'm Gonna Learn guessing now what I need to do is to figure out when I'm going to stream and when I'm going to upload a video and when I'm going to upload a video right so this is super important right because for the live streaming you can be a little bit more flexible but if you can pick a a day that you can be kind of consistent with and a time that you can be consistent with it's going to help you a little bit more right so for me just for an example of this I'm doing this live stream here on Wednesdays so if I'm going to start that channel I'm probably gonna go ahead and say that the day that I feel that I can be super consistent with streaming when it comes to gaming I'm gonna say that it's going to be a Saturday okay so I'm going to live stream on Saturday okay and then I'm gonna say what three hours can I stream right and again this is just something to give me some guidance right and some structure to know when I need to show up if things change things change right this is not set in stone when I first started streaming I literally changed my schedule every single week I was like I'm gonna start streaming at from 2 to 3 P.M I'm gonna stream from 7 uh to nine PM I'm gonna stream from 8 to 10 p.m right like it's okay to make adjustments and you're a little bit more flexible on YouTube uh than you would be on um most of the platforms so so I'm going to say three hours and um let's let's let's let's take a look here I'm gonna say three hours and then I'm gonna say I always got a birthday party happening in during the weekend right so typically between four and you know six or seven you know it it that's when I kind of have things going on so I'm gonna say that a safe spot that I know that I'll most likely be home would probably be I would say um let's say nine nine pm okay 9 P.M to 11 10 11 no no no no I'm not I can't stream until 12. um 8 P.M I need to be in bed I need to give my seven hours uh to 11 p.m right um so that's gonna be my stream level right so again I'm just setting something in place so that I know when I'm gonna show up and then I'm gonna take this and put it in my calendar that way it makes sure as it gets done right so again you see what I'm doing here I haven't even started I haven't even built the channel yet right I haven't even set up anything before the live stream except for the things I did last week I'm making a plan so that way I can be effective and I can execute on this right all right so he said he said looking to know what levels his game chat and music should be do you have a video on it I don't have a video on the different levels of how your um your game chat and your music should be but I can give you kind of a rule of thumb right so uh let me see what's the best way for me to show you this all right so if you look at this if you look at this mix board right here right let's say that these these three right here are are your are your music right just picture actually I can just show you inside of OBS right um all right so let's let's go ahead and say that this is your oh actually is it just chatting half three okay cool right so let's say that this first one here is my which which one's the one that has the three the timer okay um all right either way so let's say this is this is my music right so your music you want your music to kind of be uh like somewhere around here like negative 45 somewhere around there right then for your game for your chat right you want your voice to be the most uh predominant you would want your voice to be somewhere around like right here between 15 and 10 right so like here be a good spot like 10 would be a good spot but you need to watch my video on making your mic sound good so that way when you yell like right now if I yell it doesn't matter if I yell or if I whisper you're still gonna be able to hear me because I've set the settings for my mic to to adjust for that if I talk too low it brings my voice up if I talk too high it brings my voice down right so you would want to be somewhere around there and then game game you want the game to be a little bit higher than the um than the music so that's the best way for me to be able to show you without uh actually you know going deep into it but um Sean if you want to make a note I can definitely go ahead and make a video on that because I think that's something that's super um super important for people to be able to know right um and then uh oh mad wizard shorts is different Beast um she left one Euro Super Chat um okay cool all right perfect so so now when when I'm looking at this here and I'm establishing wrong thing all right all right so now I know when my live stream is going is is is going to be right so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to figure out when I'm gonna upload a video right now I don't want to be uh uploading my video on the same day that I'm live streaming right I don't want to do that you can but I recommend that you go ahead and uh be able to um space it out right so we got the we got the live stream on Saturday what's going to be the best day for me to be able to go ahead and uh share do a video so if I upload on upload on Saturday I'm probably gonna go ahead and say that the best day for me to upload a video is going to be on a I'm gonna say on a on a Wednesday on a Wednesday funny story you know Shawna taught me how to spell Wednesday she was like wed Ness day and I never forgot it every time I spell it I always say it like her like I always say when last day all right so let me see all right so we're gonna say Wednesday now the time that I post is a brand new channel so it doesn't so it doesn't uh really really matter what time I really post when I'm first getting started out but because I live stream at 8pm I'm just gonna say that I'm gonna upload my video at 8pm uh eastern time at night is when I'm gonna upload a video right all right so so now we know when we're going to live stream and when we're going to video and if you're just tuning in make sure you hit the like button on the stream but I've literally been talking about how you can come become a full-time streamer within one year by following a plan of how you stream using only 10 hours a week right um all right so we got here a Super Chat coming in I really appreciate that Matt again super chats um I would if I would rather you become a member of the channel for 2.99 um and get access to tons of things um in the super chat but I'm super grateful either way I can go live on YouTube twitch through aircast but it won't let me go live on Kik and I and do you believe having a good set like yours can attract people uh I mean it's two things first off um when it comes to uh going live on Kik with aircast what I would do is is there I gotta see how you troubleshoot it because but I would recommend like to get a quick fix right now without me physically seeing how you have everything set up I would just jump into aircast's Discord and try to reach out to support to figure out the kick integration But to answer your question about whether or not having a setup like this matters it plays you know some people are more attracted to seeing something more professional right where you're like okay I can see you have a professional setup you got different cameras right and what what I say is that in the beginning it's not so important right if you focus on the strategy that I went ahead and shared here right where I talk about how you should be able to live stream and you're focusing on this here then what you have on your setup doesn't really play a big role and if you and if you share with people and you say hey look guys let's build this stream together I want to be able to get a new a new computer I want to be able to get a new mic let's kind of let's kind of build from there right build with your audience build with you build the community and you'll see that over time um you'll start to attract the people but is it a requirement no is it does it help sometimes just depends right uh but I'll tell you right now that I didn't start with all of this I'll say that for sure um question I wanted to meet for an hour with you to set stuff up is there a payment I should do um Bobby uh I'll uh I think it's uh last curry.com for slash consultation I believe Sean if you drop the link and then uh you'll be able to sign up for one hour and then we'll jump on on a video call and I can help you set up your uh set up set up your stream and and get everything going to make sure everything looks polished so um or just join the Discord and then in the Discord you'll be able to go ahead and and and and see that um all right so question here how far should the from the sm7b should I be when I'm talking right this is how you measure right so somewhere around the lines like that you should be fine um or you can get a little bit closer what I like to do is I like to put the mic to the side slide it and then what happens is I'm talking past the mic and it avoids a lot of the plosives right so but that's the rule of thumb that I utilize sometimes I'm a little closer but it's it's a great thing to be able to do so when I'm recording a video I'm like okay cool I'm gonna take a distance if I can get loud and get low so hopefully that kind of that kind of helps there for you um it says afro what is going on um and it says here that's the same way I learned to say Wednesday right oh she's a good teacher right look the easiest way to remember it she definitely hooked me up with that um Holly what is going on what is going on I made it to the live I appreciate it welcome welcome uh I'm a console streamer I'm a console streamer as well as you can see here um I got the Xbox there and then I got the PlayStation there and then I have the switch there which I actually got to start making some switch content so let me know if anybody plays on the switch I do got to start making some switch content because I don't have it um and and then we kind of go from there so it says um all right so now let's take a look here at what we have left right so we've solidified what we wanted to do on Wednesday right 8 P.M eastern time is the day that we're going to upload our video so we figured out what we're gonna do with 10 hours of time right now we have we figured out you know how do we make how do we create content in our live stream to make sure we get three videos every time we go live right we've now solidified how we're going to focus on the two hours to make titles and thumbnails we've edited that content we've got an upload and then we spend in one hour every week trying to get better and understanding How We Do content right so um and then and then we have here we've solidified now when we're gonna go live and when we're going to upload a video right okay cool so now we have now we have that in place okay now we got us now we solidified okay what content what content are we going to make right are we going uh to make okay so now it's super important to be able to understand what content you're going to make there's tons of people that um want to be variety streamers and I believe that it's okay for you to be a variety streamer right um I don't see nothing wrong with you doing that what what I what I believe is that if you're going to be a writing streamer you want to make sure that the game that you're playing they fall into the same genre right like you don't want to do like I'm gonna play um I mean I can't even think of a game right now like okay if I play 2K and that's a basketball game right and I'm making content on my Channel about that and then I turn around and play a racing game no right that's like that's like that's like that's like a no-go right and I would even say like Apex and Call of Duty the shooters they are you know battle royales but they're two different kind of styles of content right so I always want you to think about this right if you're going to make a piece of content if it's the same style of game that the same people who are watching your content right now are going to like it's okay to have it on that channel if it's a different style of game and it's it shows interest to somebody else then it's gonna you want to go ahead and put that on a separate Channel not even make that kind of content right for me I'm making a basketball Channel and I'm gonna stream I'm gonna make one style of gaming content okay so I'm gonna do gaming content on that channel right so we're gonna go and we're gonna go ahead and make a we're gonna go ahead and make a basketball a basketball Channel okay mind you right I'm not making a 2K Channel I'm making a basketball Channel why because it allows me to have a little bit more diversity in my content Styles right okay so gaming content that I'm gonna do is like I'm gonna be playing 2K and making 2K videos right cool that's one style of content the other style of content is that I may cover some basketball news right stuff that's happening in the league and if I Do cover some news maybe I'm going to cover the team that I enjoy right so we did this may make the whole the whole chat leave the stream but I'm a Golden State fan right okay I've been following Curry for years before he even came into the NBA right so I'm gonna say maybe I'm not gonna cover all basketball news maybe I'll cover Golden State news right on my channel again try I'm trying to build a community of people who share the same beliefs as me right and have the same interest as me right so instead of me saying I'm gonna cover the whole NBA it's like no where are my Golden State fans at let them connect with me so that we can do that right um so that's that's super important then I'm okay I'm a basketball channel right so I don't just have to do 2K content you know what I'm actually gonna go play basketball in real life and make some uh IRL basketball content okay so do you see here how I'm like again I haven't even started this channel I haven't even started streaming this content but having a plan and spending some time thinking about how you're going to do this it's going to save you a lot of headaches and you'll have more success in the long run because you won't be throwing spaghetti on the wall you won't just be like I've been streaming for for seven months and I can't see no results okay cool what's your plan I don't know I just go live all right well hey look time to start at zero because you didn't take the time to follow this so this is why I wanted to make this this is why I wanted to make this here and I'll probably put this Doc in the description after the livestream ends but I'm showing you guys this because this is how you need to think about growing your stream and your channel if you truly want to go full time right um so if you just tuned in make sure you hit the like button and if you missed the question earlier let me know how much money would you need per month to be able to consider yourself a full-time streamer um all right so let's see here says I'm an Xbox streamer um as well and that's why it was so hard to go live on different platforms but thanks to Curry I finally got the hang of it I love it I'm super excited that you went ahead and did it I've been a console streamer uh you know controller player and um you know maybe maybe someday somebody convinced me to go uh you know switch keyboard and mouse um all right so question so I have an important question for you so I'm Puerto Rican so I have an accent in English so when I'm live streaming I speak English but I don't talk much because I'm a little embarrassed so you know this is this is a great question and something that a lot of people kind of experience the thing that I want you to feel like is that like if you're super comfortable talking in Spanish talk in Spanish you know what I mean and then throw in some some Spanglish in there if you want to right at the end of the day you're not trying to please anyone when you're becoming a streamer and you're becoming a content creator your goal is not to be a people pleaser your goal is to find the people that rock with you for who you are right so if me and you were buddies right and you know mad words and I know you we've known each other for several years and like you know you talk to me in Spanish you talk to me in English cool right like I'm not gonna judge you because of that right I I like you because of your personality because of the person you are because the story so don't Don't Stray away from you know speaking Spanish you know tapping some Spanish right like not really right but but I'm just saying like it's important that you lean into the things that does work for you and then understanding that it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks like cool judge me because my English is not perfect who cares man you can't you can't judge me for trying to get better at something I'm trying to get better at right it's just it there's no way to there's no way to win you can say whatever you want but I know that in a week from now two months from now a year from now my English is going to be better then what what are you going to say then right so again remember don't ever let somebody uh kind of push you down for trying to improve and be better and the more you do it the more comfortable you become right Shauna speaks hardly no Spanish but somehow she has a conversation with my mother every time she's with her okay I don't know how she does it so secretly I think she knows Spanish and she's holding out on me right so this is the opportunity Sean had to tell the truth and tell everybody that you speak Spanish so this is the opportunity so you know I mean we just gotta kind of move from there so let me see here uh have you considered making Spanish content exactly um so you know see will what is going on man yo just watching your videos in the past have given me video ideas and have helped me bring a new YouTube Creator uh being a new YouTube Creator and glad I caught you live I'll keep with the good work Brody appreciate you man so much love um and again if you just tuned in just literally hit the replay on the stream I literally talk about how you can go full time um in one year or less based on who you are um by just dedicating 10 hours a week right which most of us can can dedicate that time by just eliminating some Netflix and chilling right um all right so uh let's see here uh what else we got Domino entertainment in the house man what is going on and listen if anybody wants to get into some Dominoes Dominoes is the guy he is the plug he has a community and he's doing such amazing things man definitely get connected with him Domino I really appreciate you tuning in brother um so question here we got it says how to keep talking on stream when super when super shy and never opened up for anything you know you just gotta kind of the best way to do this um and I actually have a video on my channel on building camera confidence because I think that's what it comes down to right just getting a little bit more confident um on stream I mean here we are I don't even know how long I've been streaming for already but I feel like I've been talking the whole time right now mind you I've been doing this for quite some time now and it's a lot easier for me to kind of communicate but the easiest way to kind of start engaging with your audience and feel a little bit more comfortable kind of talking is to just think about the things you want to share right I I typically when I first started uh being on camera I would take a picture of somebody and I would just put it there in the beginning it was like my mom yeah no embarrassing right put my mom there and I would just be talking to my mom she don't know no English but I was talking to her in English and then I felt great because I'm like she don't know if I'm doing it wrong or not so I would just talk to her um while looking at the camera and then that made a little bit easier right because it was somebody that was familiar with somebody that was comfortable with um you know talking to that in the beginning I didn't start just straight live streaming I started making videos and again you're making videos you know there's there's nobody judging you you can record that video and then never decide to upload it right so I would just start small right and say like okay you know what I'm gonna try to go ahead and go live and just be on your phone record yourself I'm gonna say you know what can I just talk for one minute like what can I share for one minute on your phone just do that every single day right and every day just increase it by 10 by 10 seconds right they go minute and 10 minute and 30 you know two minutes three minutes and just get comfortable sharing and sometimes it can just be the same story right like here's here's here's a a story when uh when I was streaming on mixer right so one of the things I used to do in the beginning when I first got started streaming was that I was like oh you know what I can't wait to get brand deals and sponsorships on my stream right but I'm so small like I just got started like how can I how can I go ahead and get how can I start practicing like if a brand does come I want to be ready right so what I would do right and it would be a thing that me and my stream would do I would find any little item on my desk and try to do an advertisement on it right so so I would so I would I would go ahead and grab these glasses right and I would just be like I would be streaming and then I would stop and I would just go to my just chatting scene and I'll be like all right guys you know what I got to pay the bills so hey look today's stream is sponsored by um you know what what glass is these right uh Gunner Gunner Optics right so Gunner Optics sponsor to sponsor this and uh they gave me these videos so if you go to their website right and like these help you like block out blue lights you know they make you look cool they make you look like a comp gamer like you just you just look like you're a Sweat Right so so when you put these on not only can you shoot better but you can do some amazing things right and like my life changed when I had these glasses so if you go to the website type in the code Curry you're gonna get it for free 99 and just Etc right so I would just practice it wasn't real but it just gave me an opportunity to one practice my speaking ability practice my ability to think on the fly right and and also practice like how I would try to integrate Brands and into into my stream so again right nothing is set in stone don't allow certain mistakes or your fears to slow you down just know that you lean into it you know it's going to be uncomfortable and you know you going to get better the more you do it right so if you feel that same way okay if you feel that same way go ahead and like the stream and if I sold you on the glasses like the stream as well right um so he said uh Loki um sold me on on those glasses hey look I'm telling you the things and things are pretty a pretty clutch um I don't know I think you just go to Gunner Gunner Optics or just not even on Amazon but um yeah you know it's uh so just little things like that right practice practice right I think that's how you're going to be able to um be able to go ahead and get there um uh let's see here all right so it says okay thanks but I'm not starting new but I find always uh have a monotone voice and I want to be a country style brand so you know like the the big the biggest thing even if you're not even if you're not starting new the the biggest thing that you want to do is just like you know practice like wherever you want to be right I would take like I said right we we shared here one hour of of studying right find creators that have the style that you want to have and study them excuse me to see how do they function how do they do their streams how are they talking how to do their videos right and then try to kind of in a sense in the beginning right try to emulate how they're they're approaching their content in their speaking and then add your personality and kind of twist to it right so that's that's like super super important right all right so so I want to go ahead and I got the content that I'm going to be making right so I got gaming content I have you know I mean basketball news I have in real life basketball content right and and like you know I mean that's that's kind of that's like a good starting point right and again this can evolve over time this is just giving me ideas on what I can do right so now I got the content that I that that I need to make and now from there now I can start to start doing some research um that's where I spend my one hour studying trying to get ideas trying to look right so I would spend some time on YouTube and I would spend time and what and what I like to do on YouTube right is that I actually create a private playlist right I create a private playlist and here's here it is right 2K research right so I create a private playlist and then as I'm searching I start to pull videos that that I'm like okay cool these are videos that are that I'm interested in doing that can give me an idea so I can get inspiration from and then that way every time that I'm on YouTube I get inspired oh look look at this young fella right there um I get inspired to be able to go ahead and create some kind of content right so that's that's kind of how it says um thanks Curry honestly um I've done uh searches and can't find any country style streams uh with the game that I play don't look for somebody who's doing what you're doing right look outside of that right so instead of looking at country style streams with the game that you play that may be your uniqueness right so because that's your uniqueness there's not nobody doing that right so what you want to do is you want to look outside of Gaming and start to look at other people who who are doing country Styles even not even in gaming right I would just look at podcast I would look at other kind of videos other kind of content right because you already created the uniqueness of it it's country style gaming and streaming you know I mean like that's your uniqueness now go find other people who are who are doing what you're doing in a whole different space that's where the time that you spend hours studying looking at what it is that you're able to do in the house Curry if you know my channel name my name is Nick what is going on Nick welcome welcome super happy to have you here super happy to have you oh so like in real life stuff and stuff like that yep that's it because all you're trying to do is to gain inspiration right and to see sometimes when you look at your own and you look in your own space it's kind of hard to be able to see that right like for example right if you look at my setup a lot of my stuff that got in my setup a lot of it didn't come from me looking at other streamers a lot of it came from me looking at you know other other YouTubers looking at people doing podcasts looking at you know so many different verticals where I got like oh wow look a teleprompter oh look at this right here right so sometimes you look outside of your space you're able to get motivated and inspired um to be able to know like okay how can I bring this uniqueness to my stream right so that right there is is super important right so now we got understanding what it is to go full time as a streamer and then we got here pretty much the whole the whole blueprint right so now I know now I got to start thinking about a name you know for my channel you know I got to start understanding like okay what viewers are are gonna watch me and then and then from there I need to start kind of building out the content right so the plan with this is like Now setting its own if like if I'm just starting out when am I gonna launch all of this process right when am I going to launch this right so now I gotta say that My Stream I'm going to launch it I need I need I need to look at a at a calendar um let's let's take a look here let me look at a calendar real quick um all right so we got August so I would say that I would probably say I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna challenge myself but I'm gonna give myself some Grace as well uh okay I'm gonna say uh okay I'm gonna say here these are these are my two options for launching right I'm either gonna go live on the live stream August 12 okay or I'm gonna go live on September 2nd okay so those are the two those are the two times that I'm gonna think about starting the live stream okay and making content there okay now um let's let's take a look here before I show you what to do now right once you start this for the first time I'm gonna share with you in just a few seconds what you need to do if you have zero viewers you have zero viewers I'm gonna show you how to be able to go ahead and and show you share a few hacks with you on how you can go ahead and get viewers to come to your stream when you when you have none right okay so uh Karma says you're amazing man look man it means the world to me that I was able to help you right um so what it says what do you think about affiliate marketing do it do you need to do it if you if you're thinking about affiliate marketing you need to do it need to do it fast right it's a great Revenue source no but you know all jokes aside I think that it's it's in a it's affiliate marketing is a great way to be able to uh generate tons of tons tons of Revenue it's a great way to be able to build relationship with Brands um I do affiliate marketing in in my in my content structure and it's just a great way to be able to kind of grow uh some money um doing it so if anybody's interested in learning more about that uh join the Discord and uh we can probably jump into a private chat and just start talking about some things I know it's a little bit that's a little bit more high level um than a lot of things that that gamers are doing right now but it is it is something to to keep in mind and when I dive into a stream talking about Revenue um I'll definitely tap into that so I said I do say thank you a few years back you taught me how to Overlay music and borders on my on my stream I just picked the wrong game to scream look man it's never too late and then first of all I appreciate you coming in tuning in here um and I'm just I'm just grateful right and again it's never too late to be able to go ahead and be able to switch games approach it a lot differently if you're just tuning in you can go back to this live stream and I break down exactly a strategy and a plan that's proven to work okay proven to work if you just execute it to be able to make you go full time as a Creator right and I'm not even talking about like Revenue yet I'm just talking about how to set yourself up for that success and then we can talk about how do you make money right um so that's that's super important it says before I go live do you recommend that create a thumbnail for the live stream or do I add it when I finish live stream if you're going to YouTube super important right if you're going to YouTube Take a Look take a look at what and what and what the strategy is here right um where is it at here here right here's the order in which you want to do things right so if if if you're if you're doing on YouTube title and thumbnail is a must you must do it first okay you must do it first and then once you have the title and thumbnail then you know how to start the video how to start your stream right then you know how to start it and then once you know how to start it you know how to go ahead and segue into your pieces of content and then you also know how to end it right so 100 tight on thumbnail should be first before anything else right first comes the idea then comes the title and the thumbnail okay uh what is the best streaming platform uh for affiliate marketing um it's going to be YouTube 100 percent um also I play games that pretty saturated which is dumb but it's like the only game I enjoy and have passion for I don't believe in no such thing as saturation right use a term called yoink and twist Define play the game that everybody's playing that everybody's watching that everybody's on it it's no saturation figure out a way to be unique in the content that you're making right again that is the that is the key thing there right and you learn that you learn that from this one hour of studying content every single week right if you spend time studying other people's content then you're like okay I play a saturated game but it's not saturated I can just go ahead and flip this and be able to go ahead and and make something that's unique right so so again um I don't believe in saturation I don't believe that there's too many people doing what I'm trying to do that doesn't matter to me right first off I come from a place of thinking about abundance there's tons of viewers available for me I don't care if there's two million 2K channels uh doing basketball content I'm gonna come in it from my personality I'm unique in my own way so I'm unique I'm gonna try to create different kind of content and and that's what's going to make me different right so so again it's not about uh saturation right so just just kind of keep that keep that in mind gray wolf gaming what is going on man hey last how are you just started my streaming career and I've noticed my change uh from my first video till now I've always been good about speaking in front of people it's just been hard to dial in on it look continuation right I just I mean I'm just super excited to kind of uh see you in here and again understanding that you just started right and and just knowing like get one percent better every single time right like when I first started my setup right like I I had none of this I had none of this right I know the setup doesn't even matter but like I started with one little thing right when when I started making video I try to improve one little thing right I was like okay what what what in all my videos can I improve right I'm gonna try to improve my thumbnails okay cool like that's the only thing I'm gonna try to focus on I'm gonna try to make better thumbnails and then I can move on to the next thing same thing with the live streams right it's okay cool like what is the one thing that I can try to focus on on my live stream to try to make it better right I would try to say that I would be like my titles if it's on Twitch on Kik right how can I make my titles interesting to get people to want to click if it's on YouTube how can I make my titles and thumbnails interesting to click and then I would start moving through the process right so again here's here's the structure if I had to choose in the order of how I would try to improve with every single stream I would start from the top I will try to focus I will first try to get better at titles and thumbnails until I feel comfortable and I and I feel like it's working right then I would try to do my best with the rest of this stuff and then once I got titles and thumbnails down I'm gonna move to what my opening minutes are right how can I get better at same opening minutes cool once I have that in place now I'm going to start okay how can I think how can I make the content that I'm making in my live stream while I'm live be better right so I would do that and then here then I'll send once I get once I get that down then I'm like okay how can I close my videos to get people to go keep watching more content or where can I send them to right so understanding that as long as you're improving every single time you will succeed okay you will succeed I can look at if you go to my YouTube Channel right now and you go by most popular and you look at my first video and you can pair my first video to my last video you see a drastic change why because I didn't care what other people thought I just said I'm gonna try to get better every single stream just gonna try to get better and every video and that's it now I'm still I'm still aiming for that I know I can get better and I just aim for that right so that's super important just try to try to be able to do that um Roberto can I call you rob um says I'm building everything now because I just got my setup and have been creating content but haven't posted anything yet I literally spend hours on your video so that I get all the knowledge first look that that is that is all about but but I want to challenge you to take the knowledge and take action right take the knowledge and take action I want you because I don't want you to get paralysis right and so I know you're setting everything up you're going through the process you've been creating content but you're now posting it here's the here's the here's the downfall of not posting right you don't get feedback and if you don't get feedback you can't improve so it's super important that even if you think that the video is not good post it right most of the time when you think something's not good it's actually probably good right so so I want you to watch watch my videos but I make them short and to the point for a reason because I want you in and out right if you got to watch other videos then watch other videos of mine cool I'm gonna try to set you up to watch more of my videos right that's why I break things up um but at the end of the day learn apply learn apply right when when the when I said here two hours of editing and learning right remember if you never edited before you're not just learning you're editing while you're learning right so what you need to learn you're watching learning it and then you're executing on it why because there's this thing where it's like the faster you implement the faster you start to develop the skill right so so again um super grateful that my videos have been able to kind of help and guide you in there but again if you're not a part of Discord join it and uh let's keep track of your journey man uh says so country Call of Duty streamer That's Unique then just got to work on it and see what people are doing right make it right correct uh potato what is going on hey last I deleted my past video from a year ago because I left YouTube for a year and now my new videos have gone lower views was it a good decision to come back and delete my old videos it all depends right it's kind of hard to tell you me without kind of uh looking at your question uh looking at your channel but uh for the most part it's like if the old videos is different from the new videos like the people who are watching your content now wouldn't like those old videos then yeah you know unlisted them um would probably be the way to go but if those videos are still of interest to the people who are watching your content now then I would have left them right so again taking a break from YouTube is not bad excuse me it's when you come back and you start to try to make some different videos right like if I take a break from YouTube for a month right and I come back a month later I can upload a video and it'll probably still get some good views right because I I'm like okay I haven't been on YouTube for a month what videos are people watching on my channel now and then what video can I make right now that if I make it people watch it right so again remember people are watching your videos all day long right like I get new people coming to my channel every single day so if I take a month break to the people who came in yesterday to my channel they don't know I took them off break so tomorrow I upload the Right video all those new people are gonna watch that video and then the train just keeps moving right that's why I love um that's why I love YouTube um it says here it says to me unless I want to do basketball content Cod and fortnite content how do I separate and pull that off uh that's a lot of different that's a lot of different content so you know I mean if I was if I was looking at at that um it for me it would be it would be on a different Channel um it would it would kind of be on a different Channel just even though there's people that like fortnite people that like cod and people that like basketball it just is a little bit too different for me to put it on the same YouTube channel right so I would either focus on on one um and and build that and then start building out the other ones or or just separated which makes a little bit difficult like like I say all the time right like like if you got one child right like that's that's already enough uh like that's the challenge themselves then you add two children okay now now we're getting a little bit complex then you add three kids to the mix okay you gotta try to raise all three at the same time look Shawna you better you better grow two additional hands um but it's just it's just like that right so focus on developing one baby first um and then build another right um and that's kind of the only way that I kind of recommend you but again you can feel free to go ahead and and kind of move move the way that you may uh feel comfortable but I always say different people different Channel that's just that's just a safe way to kind of approach it um for editing what do you think would be better computer or a laptop both are the same um both are the same it just depends on the on the computer and the laptop but at the end of the day what what I would end up doing is just like you know you got a mouse and a keyboard or you'd like to use a a pad you know so it's just more for you and also based on what you're doing right like if you travel a lot and you're all over the and you're all over the place and you just need you need to edit from anywhere then a laptop is going to be more mobile right where if you use a computer then you kind of stuck where wherever it's at so that's that's how I would choose whether or not um it is here right so so again we broke all this down going full time as a streamer with only 10 hours and doing it in one year to go full time right and most people that were in here said that to go full time I saw on the high end I think it was like thirty five hundred dollars a month would make you full-time and I'll tell you right now that that is way that is super that is super achievable that is super achievable okay super achievable if you follow this plan right here um so it says um this you can you can ask anything this this is super open it can it can be about anything um I'm just hanging out uh thanks for the Inside Man my videos used to be Minecraft base and I didn't enjoy making those videos so I deleted them and started a new channel idea um and that would be enjoy making it 100 that that's it just focus on what you enjoy and then focus on who you're making that content for and you should be able to create some kind of some kind of impact there right um it says when I play games and and I'm super hard on myself when playing if I play Bad please help I don't know what to do if I try and try but always felt like a burden my whole life look man just this this is the way that I would approach you right be grateful if you can add some little bit of gratitude um for the things you have right I see you have a baby in the picture of your things right of your profile you go ahead and you know you woke up today I think that if you start to uh you know just have a little bit of Grace for yourself and tell yourself you know I mean I'm super grateful that I get to wake up today I get to be a father that I I have this child that I have a roof over my head you know that I'm able to go ahead and have this the the consoles and everything that I have you start to be a little bit less hard on yourself right now again you know it's hard for me to know things that happened in the past but again I just want you to understand like you're here for purpose and I just want you to just understand like it's okay to have a bad day um you know it's okay to understand that some days are going to be up some days are going to be down but for the most part you know just like just just just right here that's exactly exactly what we said you just have to play with the right Squad
