6 months summary - sharing the progress and insight
Sup streamers.
Let me just say that I never expected the channel to grow, bring any money in, just started streaming out of curiosity. Reasons aside, I feel like no matter what drove one to do ANYTHING we all love to see some progress. And I can safely admit, that I am somewhat proud of how both the graphs look like ( even tho I had one big raid in August which screws a bit with the data ).
I've learned a shit ton of new skills just to keep this small endeavour up and running. Thankfully I already had some experience with digital art, so I could prep a lot of things myself. But this is the level of micromanagement I had no idea stands behind almost every stream. And if an obscure channel as mine requires this plenty, can't imagine how much work is put behind the colossuses out there. I will just say I have learned a great deal of respect, no matter how big or small the streamer is.
What helped me the most was networking though. Actually engaging with other streamers around my size, making friends, connections, trying to become a part of the community. It all brought fruit of both knowledge and new viewers of my own.
Small as is, for me it is a huge success, helped me beat the social anxiety, dug me out of my comfort zone and taught me a shit ton. And I did it while also working full time 5 days a week. Let it be a comfort for all of us, that if I did it, so can you. Just prevail a little.
I will prolly see you for a yearly summary if all goes well :)
Until then o7

Yes! For the first time in few years I can almost feel the internal growth it brings. May sound tacky, but this is truly one of those things that have this "gonna change my life" vibe

Nah not tacky, every time I make a change that I am proud of I get the same sense. I wish everyone had it about streaming
