Day 4 and 1st day streaming

I was a bit nervous today. I still wasn't fully prepared and I didn't have a whole idea going into it. As the day progressed I got a few things situated with my kick platform and obs. I created a quick overlay on Canva and found out how to drop my chat on the screen that is displayed. I forgot about my mic situation and had to last minute figure out how to get my old setup back working with my mixing board. The beginning of my stream I was just chatting with my people that I invited and showing some pictures from my archive. Basically telling who I am and why I stream. It was actually refreshing! After I ran through the pics I booted up Fortnite. Played a few, I pulled a dub on one of them. Then my boy Nyam pulled up and we ran some duos, we got a dub on that one and some funny matches too. Nyam had to bounce and my Moderator Jess asked if I wanted to play Fall Guys. Of course I said with a smile! We jumped on there and had a few close matches but no wins. I streamed the full d...

Day 3

 I went with a Call of Duty clip for todays post. On TikTok I get about 600 views within the first 10 to 30 mins then it just stops. The rest of the outlets aren't racking up numbers just yet but at this point I am just posting. I need to take some time during the day to repost/share/cross promote across them as well. I'm going to start working on a plan for that. I jumped in on a fellow streamer on my lunch break. I'm still a horrible viewer but I am an amazing supporter! I hung around for a bit and asked some questions. I think for my stream tomorrow I'm just going to chat and chill with whoever pulls up. I'll be sending a message tomorrow during the day to some close friends to see if I can have a few people on deck at least for the start of the stream. Hopefully I can turn them into regulars as well as build me a great community that enjoys my content. I'll be working on some of my newer content in the next few days and I got some ideas I plan on exploring f...

Day 2

 I'm still taking it nice and easy right now. I definitely need to carve out some time during the day to get my post done but as long as I don't go over the 24 hr ish window, my goal stays intact. I did a little bit of chatting in the discord today. I also wiped my 2nd phone, Galaxy S8 that was paid off awhile back, and am currently using it with my business accounts to follow and support other streamers in the group. I'm still kinda iffy on following from my main page as I really don't streamers like that and I don't want fake/act like I do but I also know how the game is played so I want to be able to "return the favor" if necessary. I posted on all 5 sites today and I figured out a small work around for the TikTok issue. I muted the sound at the end right before uploading it to the platform. Tomorrow I will see if once I mute that section, if they will allow me to add the sound back or any music in that same section. I'll let yall know how that goes...

Day 1 (Again)

 This is probably the 5th time I have made a run at this. Though only this and the time before, I really put forth some real effort. I somehow had it in my mind that since I play a lot of video games anyway, if I just streamed them, money would come. I know silly huh!?!? This time around I plan on doing it differently and seeing it through until I hit my goal(s). Day one got off to a rough start as I didn't really do anything until late this evening, around 8pm EST. I have been doing some pre work like, creating clips from some of the archived footage I have and cleaning up my social media profiles for uniformity. A few months back on the previous attempt, I signed up for Twatters Patreon but never took advantage of the knowledge and tools provided. This is the foundation of this run. I went through all the knowledge, planned a few moves, learned how to navigate the discord server provided, and put a lot of the tips in motion. I ordered a new capture card and will be getting a new ...
