0014: ft. TinkTV - Going full time as a Twitch affiliate.

The Mike James Content Experience

Welcome back everybody!
It's a brand new episode of the Mike James Content Experience this week and it's going to be a fantastic episode!
Today we're joined by a long time friend of mine, TinkTv, who is a Twitch affiliate streaming full time for just over a year.
Tink describes how full time streaming isn't easy, of course the obvious implies that you need to make sure you're going to be financially stable. However, the secret to building an income as a full-time streamer lies within the content.
You HAVE to make your streams an experience for your viewer. Something that makes them want to return for the unique experience each time. We had a very similar discussion back with streamer 'ImStallion' in episode no. 0004. The trick is creating an experience.
So you may ask "how can I go full time?"
The answer is simple, somewhat....
You need to reflect on your content, going live and streaming a game won't cut it in 2019. You need to step things up in your streams. Enjoy cosplay? then cosplay once a week. Don't mind playing with people? Create an in-house tournament or play with viewers. All of these suggestions require hard work... but it's doable. As these guests can confirm.
