  • The popularity of Live Streaming is at an all time high, and because of this, I felt now is the best time to share the ugly truth behind becoming a Streamer. On the surface it may seem like its easy, fun and you get to make a lot of money. Well I'm here to tell you, that is far from the truth for 99% of those who take on this journey. I hope I'm able to shed some light on this topic for those interested in Streaming and I hope this helps anyone currently struggling with this "Ugly Truth."

    This video is not meant to DISCOURAGE but rather ENCOURAGE people wanting to becoming a Streamer. It’s okay to feel down about your progress, but just know you’re not alone and there’s thing you can do to help!

    So many people think that you make six figures after the first six months. It took me two years to make my first $100.

      100% man. It takes time. Developing a healthy balance is necessary so you’re not hurting yourself long term

    Tried streaming and RUclips back in 2016-2017 and wanted to make something of it. Making lets plays, going to uni (4hrs of public transport), social life, gym, personal downtime, actually sleeping for 8hrs. All of these things combined together and it was literally impossible to satisfy all of them. This type of journey meant I had to make sacirifices, but I was not ready and willing to throw away all these things, because the other aspects of life made me happy. Otherwise I would of stretched myself to thin and burnt out even before I had gotten anywhere in this field. Sometimes your sanity is not worth it, unless you have the correct measures to have a balanced life in place without burning out.

      It's definitely not a path meant for everyone and of course there will be periods of sacrifices needing to be made in order to 'Make it," but in my own personal experience, there are ways to still be successful while not ruining your mental and physical health.

    Professional streamers today, are akin to the "professional video game tester" from 1990's. True, people seek entertainment OR A-MUSEMENT, but everybody loves the idea of a job, until they do it.

    • @AskCory

      You definitely need to look past the surface level " I get to play video games for a living" in order to truly prepare yourself for this type of journey

    Streaming is like a gamble, but if you never put your name in the hat you'll never know if you make it.

    • @AskCory

      As long as you have the right tool set and/or are capable of learning those skills, anyone can make it. Some people of course strike gold and explode off one video which are the lucky few. But streaming definitely takes a lot of work. Work I know I’m willing to do, I just need to re-prioritize parts of my life that can keep me healthy for the long term

    Just wanna say that I am also a streamer and everything you said in this video is 100% true. I streamed every day for 9 months and after 4 months I had an average of 200 viewers. I kept this average for 3 months and after that, my viewers started to drop down to 100 average. I was unhappy with my viewers, earnings, and life in general and it reflected on my viewers. I wasn't happy on my streams like I used to, I would swear more than I use to and all that until I stopped streaming and turn back on normal life. Now I stream 1-2 times weakly but I am trying to fix my life and start streaming daily again. The biggest reason why I will never stop doing this job is that if I give up they all will be right when they told me to stop.

    Ugly truth or common sense? Same goes for "influencers". Trends don't last and that's exactly the world you are stepping in when you decide to do either.

    • @AskCory
      @AskCory  2 года назад

      The point of the video isn’t to diminish people who want to be a content creator. I personally don’t see many people sharing the hard things about it. Only the good things if/when they come out the other end. It’s a viable and realistic career path that can be long term if done correctly. It’s not as black and white as you’re making it out to be.

    Such a great video! I'm looking to start live streaming and getting back to creating video content. This advice applies to literally other areas of my life and I'm looking forward to making the switch in mindset overall so I don't burn myself out when I introduce gaming into the mix!
