Youtube is one of the most commonly used streaming platforms that just about everybody who wants to stream something uses. This big umbrella consists of vloggers, pianists,and other types of people but the kind we are going to talk about are the Gamers on youtube. Gamers are some of the most watched people on Youtube, playing games like Call Of Duty, fortnite, Apex Legends, Tom Clancy's: Rainbow Six Siege, and other games. Most of these Youtubers Stream themselves playing as a full time job, but you might wonder, How do they make enough to Provide for themselves by simply playing video games

The First step to getting money off of streaming is to get more "subscribers" and "followers" depending on the streaming service that you use. As you gain more views, your streaming platform will start to pay you as you gain views. But You will have to do the following to get more views

Find Your Target Audiance

Considering a target audiance is key to gaining more views. This guides your content so that you have a topic to record your videos about. Also you get more views when you have a target audiance because you are specifically targeting a group of people you really talking about things that they like. Whne you dont have a clear target audiance you can end up talking abut a very broad umbrella of things, which wont attract views because you would be trying to get EVERYBODY to watch your videos instead of a specific group of people to. When Considering your target audiance, try to chose an audiance ethat consists of alot of people so that you have a chance of gaining more views. You should also consider doing your research about what the group likes. For example, if you are targeting teenagers, then you can do things like gaming or vlogging since most teenagers watch thse types of things. But if your target audiance were toddlers, it wouldnt make much sense to these things because they wouldnt be interested. This is a major part to gaining more views and should be implemented.

Sponsorships

I bet you watch a youtuber who advertise different products at the beginning, end, or even the middle of their videos. But believe it or not, these videos have a purpose! Different companies decide to select youtubers that are doing a good job and sponser them. What is sponsershhip? Sponsership is when a company advertises their products and pay the person or platform who advertises them. In other words, companies sponsor youtubers to advertise their product and in return, they pay the youtuber. This is a great way to gain money by just streaming yourself gaming. But now that you know about sponsorships, you must be wondering how to get them. The first step to getting sonsorship is more subscribers. Now I dont mean a million subscribers, but you have to have at least 1,000 subscribers to even be eligible to monetize your account. Now, if you are eligible, the first thing you have to do is write a sponsor proposal. After you write this letter, the company who you want to sponsor you is going to decide they want to sponsor you. Now in order for this to happen, do the following things

  • Start with a Story
  • Describe what you do as a youtuber
  • Misiion Statement
  • Create an Advisory Board
  • Ask for the Money
  • Dont sell yourself short,
  • Just give the company a reason to sponsor you

Make A Commitment

Making a comitment is very important because making videos consistently is one of the best ways to get more subscribers which then leads to you getting money. If you are not consistent with your videos then less people are going to be watching you because they wont be interested in your channel. On top of that, there is alot of competition that are posting videos every day, so if you dont then most people will go to their channel instead of yours.

Summary

One of the many ways to make money off of gaming is streaming, and the only way to get money is to get more subscribers, and getting sponsorships. Short And Sweet
