I've been thinking about trying to make extra money lately and about all i have time for outside of my job (7 am- 6pm) and after the kids are asleep (not until 9pm most nights) might be something internet related, i watch aris sometimes on twitch and he makes money it seems, he had profile before he started streaming (commentating tekken tournaments) so I can see how he can do it. but as a guy with no profile, trying to start this, would this just be a waste of time? what could I try to do after 9pm that i could do for 3 hours for extra money? things are about to get pretty hard for me financially, I mean we have savings but I'm starting to get pretty worried, i have to try SOMETHING.

You have to
A) be really good at a game (speedrunner) B) be really charismatic and funny and gimmicky to make up for lack of skill C) have titties and show cleavage to make up for lack of skill Unless you fit one of those bills, you ain't gonna make money. Even if you do fit one of them it's no guarantee. Not saying don't try, but if you're trying to make money now, you're probably wasting your time. Try driving for uber at night, you can make decent side money so long as you can pass a background check and have a qualified car --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

If there's one piece of advice I can give for Twitch streaming, YouTube, webcomics, Etc that seems to be consistent across every medium, that advice is to be consistent. The most successful people in terms of independently created content are those that create a regular upload schedule and stick to it year in and year out. I've seen web comics that started with all fall art that are now pulling in thousands of dollars a month or more.
So be consistent. Which also means treat it like a job, and you better love doing it, because you're going to be doing it every day for the next decade. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

That's what I've been doing for mine since I don't have nearly enough free time to edit enough videos to have one every day. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA ...

I've seen web comics that started with all fall art that are now pulling in thousands of dollars a month or more. Three times a week is fine, as long as it is uploaded/streamed on the same time each day and you don't skip any weeks without announcing it well in advance. The idea is you want people to know reliably when new content will be up, so they check reliably. You want it to become a habit. The moment you start to be inconsistent in your upload schedule, people will decide to just check in periodically and catch up and then you lose viewership. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

You have to Yeah, that's why I've never seriously looked into doing Let's Plays/streaming, I'm not skilled enough or entertaining enough to pull it off as a viable option. Closest thing I've even had as an unoriginal "gimmick" was my saying of "less salt, more pep(per)" in my online competitive game matches, even if trying to foster more positivity and sportsmanship in MOBAs and class shooters is a fool's errand. --- N/A ...

If you want to get into streaming, do it for the love of what youll be doing. Dont look at it as a way to make money. Even if things go perfectly it could easily take years to see a return.
Also, most of the smaller streamers starting out seem to be really active on other channels. Unless you really like the platform and all it has to offer, even without the possibility of payment, streaming will probably require more commitment than youll be able to do. There are streamers out there that just do it for fun. They play their games that they want to play and talk to a few people. Not actually a bad way to play games in your recreational time if you like the kind of interaction a chat room can offer. I really dont think theyre trying to turn it into a profitable gig. Others are clearly trying to become a big thing, but are still lacking the engagement. Frankly, I think they have less of a chance than those who just do it for fun. Im glad youre considering Uber. That will probably work out better. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I just had the idea the other day when aris said he was a bum and now he's a professional streamer, was really just wondering how it might all shake out but I really don't think I have the time to get I going, also it hurts like a bitch to talk lol but I love my kids enough to do anything. ...

You have to Pretty much this but tou can also try to latch on to a big streamer and get viewers by being a big part of their community. Can also try to do IRL streams of stuff you do. If its a niche hobby you might be able to get a small viewer base thatll donate more than just being moderately big on a pipular game. --- twitch.tv/nitsuku ... Copied to Clipboard!

1- Show your boobs.
2- Be willing to eat a lot of food over a protracted period of time. 3- Write jokes that have broad mass appeal. 4- Play and be good at all the modern popular games. 5- Be racist (this may have an adverse effect in the long term, be warned). 6- Any combination of the above. --- Time is a funny thing.

If you really wanna get a side hustle out of the Internet, draw porn for people. It's the one internet niche with low barrier of entry and the least amount of quality control.
