nice

san fransisco has a rich history. first, it started out strong with the gold rush 150 years ago, then it fell into disrepair and by the 1960s hippies had taken residence because it was so terrible the rent was like some beads and a poem a month. then the gays moved in because no one else wanted them, and they beautified the place real nice, and the tech people said wow i've got tons of money i want to live someplace nice, and now it's all tech people and the price of real estate is higher than manhattan.

then soon a big earthquake will level all the tech people's mansions and they'll move somewhere else and hippies will come back and the cycle will repeat. oh yeah there was a big famous earthquake that happened before the hippies came the first time, i forgot to mention that part

So I started as a hobby when my son was born and that's why I stopped posting much is because of him and later his sister coming along I haven't read the forums much. Anyhow I'd be up with him in the nights sometimes to give my wife a break and let her get some sleep without a baby waking her up and it grew from there. I'd stream a few hours and break when he'd need some milk.

I was lucky in that I stumbled into streaming 2K in 2K17 when the auction house streams were really big so I gained about 5K followers in those first few months and have over 10K currently. I think most people starting out even high skill players rarely luck into that much growth early on.

I've had a few donos and bit cheers upwards of $500 pre viewer and have probably made about $5K total streaming in my spare time when I would have been gaming anyways.

I've been rather lucky and what you said is right. Look up any popular game and scroll on down there are tons and tons of streamers with 1 or 0 viewers on there and many have bought the nice PC, the web cam, the top quality mic, streaming capture card etc etc and are just in massive debt expecting to break big.

I agree with JMitchelle42 he's got his loyals and he's having fun plus some money for gaming or whatever that's perfect if someday his stream grows great but he's having fun as it is and that's what matters.

I've looked at some of the clips man your stream looks nice and clean I'm still hoping to come in and get to know you and your chat someday soon with the two little ones my viewing time is pretty low these days.

Yeah that's another factor if you have someone that pulls a lot of viewers that befriends you and is willing to host / raid your stream when they are done on a given day it can really help you get a lot of new followers and growth.

I personally would compare streaming to busking in that people may or may not be entertained by what you do and those that wish to do so will drop a few bucks and maybe return the next day if you are still there.

I've read " streaming is this generation's starting a band " I think that's true for a lot of college age and younger people. I tell them when they ask me don't stop going to school or quit your job over it just do it for fun and stream off your current PC, PS4 / Xbox etc and see if it's for you and if and when you have success then think about reinvesting into your setup if you feel it's necessary at that point.

One last thought if your a hot woman you'll get viewers and if you are willing to do " thot " type behavior on stream you'll get even more. A lot of the gals are pretty much camgirls for teens so they don't get naked but they body paint, wear yoga pants and find a million reasons to bend over, do stuff that might get them a temp ban but ultimately gets them a larger audience because if it's outrageous enough the world will spread and all the horny guys and gals will tune in for the next peep show. That side of Twitch is really a different animal than the guy hoping on and playing a game he loves and hanging out with a community.

thanks for the input guys, really interesting stuff... i would have never imagined it like that

you want to link up... hmm i never thought of that...

LETS DO IT!

then do it!

i sit at my computer drunk with a cheesehat on my head.

people show up man.

like female posting post here anymore.

can i pm you for coaching?

a little background: his avatar was incredibly familar and it really bugged me that i couldn't place it and i pm'd him asking about it - which admittedly is a little creepy

pretty sure he thought i thought he was a she and next move was to ask for tit pics or something

oh cool...

but my comment still stands man... been here a long long time... now no one is left.

rip Kristy & peli

This mentality is why the richest 400 people in the US pay such a low % of their income in taxes

Really weird, impossible to explain!

Big facts!

Big facts

yeah. star citizen is a small community from an alpha in development game, so the it is a small tight group that supports each other a lot. 'big' star citizen streamers have no problem helping a smaller guy get to affiliate and raid. is nice. i appreciate the words man and hope to see you in chat sometime.
thanks luke. love when you pop in. glad you enjoy it.
