Read on Twitter
He’s not wrong. I’ve seen so many people fail at it. While being ‘motivated’ by the success of some of the people that the media is showing. https://twitter.com/1obefiend/status/1285936757419028482
I went into streaming full time without actually thinking that I could make a living out of it. I just had some saving and wanted to take a shot at it for a year or so. I’m getting old so I thought “hey, it’s now or never”.
If i had failed, I knew it was going to ve a good experience for me and i knew I was going to have fun. The first 6 months was rough. Trying to grow an audience while not being too awkward talking to these viewers.
I had to get out of my comfort zone. Streaming 10-14 hours a day. Back then it wasn’t common to donate money or even subscribe to game streamers. We had to rely on sponsors aaaand even that was really paying the bills.
*wasnt paying. But I had fun growing myself. The streams became more of a sharing session and a community.
It was up to 6 months before I ever saw any kind of hope that this would be sustainable. Alhamdulillah.
After that it was all about treating your brand/channel as a business. Grow it like how you would a business.
I remembered how i got ‘roasted’ on Twitter because I posted this. A lot of my streaming peers also took a jab at me back then. I actually cared about the quality if my content but I was a nobody, so most of them laughed 
If you’re starting out now, good luck. Make sure you have a plan. It is so easy to stream nowadays so make sure you are able to integrate it into your life and HAVE FUN!
