BKK has to be a much better place to try do this sort of thing than Pattaya.

I was thinking if international then ideally you'd want Caucasian women, not really an option here and they will be ridiculously expensive anyhow. Having Thai models seems like it's best to aim at Thais, speak Thai with them, have Thai video titles etc.

Yeah it would be great to find a girl like that as another main character in the show. There is this girl on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/zbingzbing . To find a girl like her would work well, if you know where to find them please let me know

Nah alot of gamers have that yellowfever. You just need hot girls to smile and impress the crowd like cute puppys and it would be enough. Hot white girls would want a ton of money to sit around and game with you so its just not reasonable for what your trying to do.

As far as the Thai viewership you would first off have to up your girl quality the model pretty mc variety. Not sure how much they make but im sure its a decent amount for them to sit around while you game all day. You could email some of the model websites and ask for a quote for something like that im sure.

Problem with the Thai audience is their not only poor but also cheap as ***. Doubt many of them sub or give donations.

Like dude above said though finding a girl who actually likes to game with you would be the best way. Then you can pay her friends some cash and even give the girl gaming with you a bit of commision and salary. Most Thai jobs dont pay much money so a girl who doesnt sell her body for sex or isnt like top 2% hottest girls in the country should be cheap enough labor for you.

A perk of it being Thai-facing would be that I imagine less Thais use something to block ads on youtube, hence you get more ads shown. They will probably skip the ads just as much though I guess. Not sure how actual ad conversions help you on YT.

I still think go global.

Yeah true, a hot girl is a hot girl after all. I think one of the things I would have to look for in girls if targeting an international audience is a decent command of English.

Agreed, falang girls far too expensive.

Have asked these guys for a quote for 3 girls http://www.thailandtalent.com/ Will post in thread if / when they respond.

I'm not sure I'd go for the freemium model, I'd be looking to grow an audience big enough that the ad revenue, product placement, merchandise sales etc. could sustain the channel and provide an income stream.

I agree that Thais are not the most lucrative market, in any sense. Whether it be subscribers, donations or even what you can charge for ads because they have less purchasing power than say people in the West.

Yeah but they need to be hot. A random Thai girl off the street won't do. When I said I'd pay them 1k to come play games for 5-6 hours I wasn't thinking I'd go for a 1k soi 6 hooker, they get paid 1k to ****. I was thinking I'd go for girls who work in gogos who can come make videos during the day when they aren't working. They take 1k for dancing naked on a pole for 6 hours, 1k each for playing videos games with 3 friends during the day I thought would be reasonable, no way to tell until I go hunting for them though.

They get a 1k salary for going to work in the gogo but they make their money from barfining. Also they get drink commision+tips at work. A hot gogo girl at a good gogo can get 2.5ST +5kLT and some of these girls might do a ST early followed by a LT. Same with a hot soi 6 girl. Yeah they might only charge 1k for that ST but a hot one might go with 3+ customers in a day +drink and tips.

Then you have to keep in mind some of these girls actually enjoy what they do. Partying with their friends and getting paid to bang. I know to us it sounds absurd but some of them really like the easy money. Not the same as sitting around for 6-8 hours doing video games on twitch with you.

Think u can find girls your just going to have to get out there and talk to them. Bangkok would be better for it for sure. I wouldn't try gogos though not going to get gogo girls cheap.

I'm assuming you've been to Pattaya before? Any suggestions on where to find girls here that aren't in bars / gogos? BKK def better for finding girls outside those environments than here.

I dont think Pattaya is the optimal place to look for girls outside of the P4P industry. If you're looking for just cheaper hookers try beach road as it starts getting dark, or the disco grind late at night. Some of those style hookers might be ok enough to impress some basement nerd. You can try the mall grind i guess. You could try placing a ad for what your doing on bahtsold or something and see if u get any hits. Pattayas tough because the majority of the women are there for the sex industry and if there hot they can easily make much better money then what u want to offer.

If you're really serious about it id just start putting your ideas down on paper and move to BKK when you can. You can scope out and message some girls online through diff venues. Try posting on meetup.com when u get there something like u want to set up a "gaming group" that could find u some girls who game maybe.

If u want to succeed at something like this you have to make it your mission in life and focus on nothing else. Start obsessing about it, make sure you have the right computer equipment, start writing your ideas down on paper and make that sheit happen. Another thing to think about is the hours you want to stream for your audience. You need to stream in the hours where people with the cash to pay you are awake not the best hours for you so that has to fit not only yourself but girls u recruit as well.

Something else I just thought of, the games that are popular on twitch aren't really the type of games a guy and 3 girls would play, counter-strike, league of legends etc. I was thinking more along the lines of Wii sports and mario kart.

You want other people to tell you what to do
You cant find half decent looking girls

incoming train wreck

you seem more like you'd do better at opening a cam channel with hookers, you could play your games there. It takes a lot more than sitting with the TV on to get a gaming twitch/youtube channel.
Dante's audience is proof enough that there's decent money in appealing to fat old men dreaming about SEA

- Which hours are these? Similar to the best poker hours? 10pm-6am Thailand time?

You either need to tap into the bkk Thai hipster circle or browse the sideline dek sites for some younger hotties.
Go for the international viewership because although the Thai audience is more available trying to figure out what they think is cool will leave you lost. Just look at the popular Thai venues and such with names like "love wine" and other corny a** $h** that all sound lame to us farangs but they eat it up.
The plus side of using hookers is that you can have contests with your subscribers and whoever wins you can tell them they can pay their own way to Thailand and f*** whatever streamer girl they want.

pretty sure rehabbing fish owns a global patent on the business you are trying to do and will sue the **** out of you if you try to make it.

promo models, social media, gaming.

only thing your missing is to drop a few lines about having some vc's lined up and how this platform is going big time.

also if you are serious at all about doing this and not actually RH (given your account creation date high likelyhood you are) twitch is the only place to do to this, not youtube

What is RH?

Why only twitch and not youtube?

omg don't say his name 3 times or he'll pop up and start spitting fire.

Hi, if anyone needs baht then frankpark9 is a good option... Transaction was completed in a few minutes (I sent first approx 400 USD)..no problems

lol, is it possible? are there people who casually play Wii with their buddies and make $$$?

Not sure about those games specifically. There's obviously the pro gamers who play other more popular games.

If you're not opening a business, you're setting yourself open to get ****ed over sooner or later.

have you never been on twitch?

I'm aware there are competitive players who play whatever and I'm aware of big-boobed girls who kind of suck in popular online games but still make money, but I've never heard someone playing non-online game casually (like local Wii matches with hookers) and make $$$

Yeah me neither

I think it's a good match though, video games and girls, two things the internet loves / wants more of endlessly. Just a matter of how to make it work which is what I'm trying to explore a bit in this thread.

You know that poker is dead when people on 2p2 talk about their new business venture catering to the local peasants in a country where the average income is about 380 USD a month.

WTF I have just been reading for the last 10 minutes? This thread has gone so far downhill is ridiculous.
