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 duration and can't wait until next week to do it again.

Between now and then I will be working on getting some more interactive things on the screen during the stream and figuring out other ways to make the time better. I also need to look into how music works while streaming as I would love to play some tunes in the background.

I posted my content for the day and will look into cross promoting it on the other platforms. I think that throughout the day I will post one from the six on the other sites and rotate until all the applicable combinations have played out. I also plan on looking into some of the automated posting services.

So far so good and its the start of a wonderful and long overdue journey!

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day/night!

Day 11 and 2nd Stream

I stayed up real late last night watching TV and got about 4 hrs of sleep before my day started at 830am. On top of that, we had a meeting today that threw my whole schedule off so nothing was routine at work today. My daughter got some gifts yesterday and it included a Handy Dandy Notebook among other things. I spent my lunch break looking for clues and drawing the most random things the clues were placed upon. I really need to step up my drawing game if this keeps going because I am horrible right now! I posted my daily clip pretty early but I didn't get any cross promo done today. Now that I think about it, I need to get my Stream Team and others to start sharing my content! I just added that to my streaming research document so I can formulate a plan to get that up and running. I never got to do my test run but I had faith in the internet and my initial test. I started the stream and everyone said the volumes were fine and they loved my playlist. I actually had 2 people request...

Day 12

 I posted my daily content pretty early today and broke that dreaded below 700 TikTok view curse lol. I also did some cross promo as the day went on. I was introduced to a pretty nice concept through my discord group. It was to have goals for the game/activity while streaming. Like getting x amount of kills or farming for a particular part. On the long term side of things, chasing a platinum trophy or chasing an epic piece of gear. I like it and will be thinking of ways to incorporate it into my setup. I have no plans for the weekend outside of the house so I will try to spend some time getting a better setup in my room for streaming. I bought a neon sign that will be here on Sunday. It says "But did you die?" Its pretty cool because it is a saying that I have used a bit personally, especially when I drive. I'm a great driver but I also don't drive the speed limit, like almost ever. Also I have a vision of using the play on words when playing shooters against my oppon...

Day 8

 It has been a slow day production wise on this front. It is Labor Day and I had to work. I spent a good portion of the day planning and plotting future moves. I just posted my daily content and I hit the most likes on TikTok so far at 36! I still can't seem to break 700 though. I think next week I will start using different tags to see if the results change. I have almost completed my monthly goals list and it should be posted by tomorrow. I am also getting closer and closer to putting my pride and arrogance aside to get things done properly. I have to get better at communicating and participating with the streamers around me. I got about 16 videos already chopped but I need to get on some of the more current content. I have been using different content daily. Switching between Overwatch, Call of Duty, and Fortnite. I still have some Warframe, Diablo 4, and a few others to edit so I can get them into my content rotation. Tomorrow I will have my Monthly Goals finish and posted. Tha...
