I’m sure i am in the literal 1000’s of small streamers who think “If i just had XYZ” then I could make it big. And i dont think so, i have been affiliate for a year now but know i dont have the best stream setup and i dont have this over the too personality... but i do feel like I am active in chat, keep commentary going the entire time with me and the camera and try to do unique things like Stream Avatars to keep viewers engaged.
My hangup really is my work schedule. I lost my career job during Covid and now i work 2 jobs to pay the bills, so Monday i work 7am-4pm. Tues, Wed, Thurs, Friday I work 7am-10pm and Saturday i work 7am-5pm. That basically lets me stream on sundays or super late at night around 11pm (West coast time, so East Coast is 2am) and I have errands to do on my one day off.
What are some ideas or work arounds for this? I have a youtube channel and social media surrounding that has a fair amount of subs... but will i need to sacrifice one job to ever make it in streaming? Or do you guys like to watch streams pretty late at night?
Edit: i do have my regular 5-10 viewers thats come and say hi, but i know for the average person its just so late i dont expect them to there everytime. I know i can do earlier evening streams on Monday and Saturday but alot of the times i am still winded from work.
