Not to mention it also opens up a LOT of working opportunities too...
Wether thats Work from home..
Or even searching for local jobs for the unemployed
The internet is a necessity in todays modern society and we shouldn't be gatekeeping basic necessities behind wealth...
@sociaIistspice
@vextape
If it pays money and you pay taxes.... its a job 👏
Also people don't realise how much work it is to do this stuff
You've gotta promo yourself as well as take time to do shoots,edit them,upload everything and answer messages
You cant just make an account and expect to succeed
@Ky1eDriver
Also have a gluten allergy here 🙋♂️and Fully agree!
The price isn't unreasonable for 4 bags (£5 a bag)
However she probably shouldn't have said the "broke boy" line as it just sounds SO out of touch with how the Economy/financial state of the world is right now
@Dutty95
@Jack_Septic_Eye
also there's a pandemic going on atm..
and not a lot of people are in work right now BUT have tonnes of free time..
i have 0 idea how people like her get to the position they are at..
surely her "fans" know exactly what they're like and still somehow support them...
@MENnewsdesk
Let's be honest...
The kids won't have any idea what it is, unless they've seen the show already which - either theyre old enough or their parents let them watch it too young.
This says more about the parents than the actual display...

We've come a LONG way from my first ever videos 😅
Learned a lot about cameras, lighting And thankfully learned about colour correction and grading 🙃
If this idiot can improve, so can you 🔥
Huge Thanks to
@Elgato
for letting me get my hands on the new Teleprompter EARLY...
This thing is going to be GAME CHANGING for a lot of creators out there...
(Long form incoming)
@Sophi_Darling
Yes and no...
Content creators should 1000% be paid if the work they're doing provides value to a community.
however
Some people feel entitled to money just for showing up.
Just because you make content doesn't mean you deserve money.
I havent been partnered that long on YT
So obviously I'm not exactly earning a ton (yet) 😅
but I think my goal for 2024 is to try and get my monthly ad revenue above 3 figures... 🤔
Might actually incentivise me to post long form a bit more regular
@faisal_iil
@Mr_Pink13
IKR!
18k= more like 15k after tax/NI
Average rent is £700 a month x12 =8.4k
6.6k left
2k of energy/water- 4.6k left
Council tax another 1.5k
3k left
1k travel costs (petrol etc)
Leaving 2k for food and anything else for 12 months
that's £40 a week
With 0 money for luxuries
One day I'll have a everyone sounding 10/10 on their streams 😅
If you want to imrove your Mic!
I have a couple of Guides about OBS filters to check out!
Working on a Elgato Wavelink one soon!
today i am actually fixing my audio even more thanks to the amazing
@ajsarsfield
literally one of my fave creators for audio (I want yall to hear my beautiful shrill screams LMAOO)
It Me!! 🔥
The Streamdeck+ is such a great tool for Anyone, Not just live streamers..
Also It was a pleasure getting the opportunity to create a video for Elgato!
🥳
I assume it's not just me who puts a TON of effort into a video and then when you've finished, you're like,
Yup.. This is bad 😅
I'm sure it's fine tbh but I've seen it that much now, I'm so bored of it lol
@TheNoirEnigma
@Twitch
One if twitches fundamental flaws is the way It ranks creators and provides 0 discoverability to everyone else..
A lot of these creators started early got a viewership and then never left the top 1% because twitch promotes popular streams over everything else..
@pinkpurp11
@StevenWallaby
This scene from Jaws is a great example of "blocking"
(Not the best quality upload)
In this scene there's Not a lot of camera movement or editing
but the actors move around naturally while talking to keep it interesting...
@MENnewsdesk
The actual character is based off one that appears in Korean childrens texts books from the 80's
I believe they are called "Younghee"
Are people going to try and ban those next?
What's absolutely WILD to me, is that a few brands have actually started to message me about sponsoring/paying for content on my YT channel and not just my Tiktok...
I only have like 1.5k Subs on YT 🤯
Generally Follow goals are so arbitrary..
But who doesnt enjoy hitting nice round numbers!?
Do you think its possible to hit 40k before September 😅
500 Tiktok Follows in 4 days? 🤔
@mollymaecosplay
This is as bad as last time...
I literally just got a message off a freiend seeing if im ok and im like.. "errm why"?
And its all over twitter.
I was literally on shift a couple of hours ago 😂
Not only did I get monetised this month..💵💰
I've OFFICIALLY passed my old YouTube account in followers now.. 🔥
Lets see if I can get at least 2k Followers by the end of the year!
HUGE! Thanks to
@CORSAIR
and
@BobDuckNWeave
for hooking me up with a Replacement Monitor when mine broke Recently.
This Corsair XENEON 27QHD240 OLED monitor Is the perfect addition to my Gaming/Editing Setup
Desk upgrade video👇
More to come

Hell Yeah!
More
@elgato
Prompters are shipping again soon!
I'm still obsessed with this thing,
It makes recording content FAR easier + its the perfect "chat" monitor for streaming...
#elgatopartner
I see TONS of you posting your media kits etc on here!
You better also be actively reaching out to brands you want to work with and pitching yourself to them,
Even if you dont think you're big enough yet
Worst they can say is no!
A no can put you on their radar for future work
I seen this a lot to my earlier tweet. The mindset or perception of a creator 'begging'.
I'll say that if you are waiting for sponsorships to come to you... You might be waiting way longer than someone that's actively reaching out tbh.
Don't post about my offline work much on here.
Figured I should sometimes, Especially as Covid restrictions have lifted now and I can work more..
Couple of screen grabs from this weekends wedding in the Lake District!

PEOPLE HAVE LIVES!
and as a creator you aren't obligated to support or watch anyone else.
The majority of people
Have a full time job 8 hours
Sleep 8 hours ( I wish)
and Stream at least 4? ( Maybe not every day)
Which leaves them with only another 4 to relax / make content
So I just realized that I have streamer friends who..... literally don't watch streams.
They log into Twitch to stream themselves, but they don't actually watch any other streams, like ever.
No lurking or anything. They just don't spend time on Twitch other than their streams.
Finally dont feel like death,
so should be getting back to some form of content again this weekend!
& catching up on the many emails I've been neglecting 😭
However during my break I hit a nice lil Youtube milestone!
Not the biggest number but its 1 step closer to 10k!
Thanks for all the love on my latest video!
I'm trying to post more often over on YT this year, so if you don't follow me there already.. what are you doing?😅
Today we're Showcasing the
@elgato
Wave DX microphone!
This is the Mic I've been using for a while now and I've actually been surprised at how good it is for the Cost!

What a Year!
Its been a challenging one full of change and surprises
Everything from losing family members, helping my partner with chronic illness,
To all the Amazing opportunities working with brands and meeting people because of my content
Thank you for all the support 🔥
Not me spending the day arguing with a company who stole my content off Tiktok
And and were using it in paid advertising on instagram for a month,
Now trying to lowball me £ when I found out about it.
🙃
Omg I just thought...🤔
You could setup a hot key with a Scripted message
So that when you get raided on twitch you can read off an intro about yourself and your community Flawlessly
ALSO!
If anyone thinks you NEED a nice aesthetic looking house to make good content.
Here's your sign/reminder that you don't.
I got this house after my mum passed away and it still NEEDS a ton of work
(Decorating is expensive)
but hell I'm going to lean into the Grungy Vibes.
Don't Sleep on
@YouTube
Shorts!🔥
I started this year with about 1800 subs,and while it's not HUGE growth (yet)
My tiny channel has had 100k+ views, grown a few hundred subs and My ad revenue has gone up a fair bit too.
If you're making tiktok/reels anyway, Repurpose those vids
HUGE Shoutout to
@CORSAIR

Can't wait to test out the Rapid Trigger Tech and Magnetic Switches.

This Lens is Genuinely the best thing I've bought in a LONG time!
I don't have a Big space to create in,
so having an 11MM lens makes it possible for me to shoot content practically anywhere.
& it's great for "Vlog" style too
Its not just me right??🤔
I LOVE making YT videos but I also absolutely HATE trying to figure out how to make clickable thumbnails for them.. 🙃
I always try and make multiple just incase 1 of them doesn't perform well..
but even then, I still cant decide what works best haha
HUGE THANKS to everyone who's watched my
@elgato
Facecam MK.2 video so far.
Pretty awesome that we have over 1k views already and it still seems to be growing!
If you haven't seen it yet, go give it a watch as the new webcam is great!

Spending this week attempting to reach out to more brands/companies to hopefully work with them🤞
I think after getting the opportunity to work with
@elgato
on the prompter release
its given me the confidence/motivation to cold reach out to brands
worst they can say is no right?
Generally Follow goals are so arbitrary..
But who doesnt enjoy hitting nice round numbers!?
Do you think its possible to hit 40k before September 😅
500 Tiktok Follows in 4 days? 🤔
So I actually tried out a quick livestream on TIkTok today..
(First time for everything, I know)
But TT live studio albeit a bit limited was super easy to use and setup..
literally took me 10 minutes to get everything going and it looked/sounded decent for (just chatting anyway)
Who thought it would be a good idea to start recording/shooting a YouTube video LATE last night...
Its now 9am and I've just finished and still need to make a Thumbnail..🙃
New Video in a few hours?

If you Ever see me advertising mobile games.. no you didn't 😅

While I LOVE short form content
& Its provided me with a TON of opportunities.
I agree that alot of it has become a mess of unoriginal, regurgitated & stolen content.
I think 2024 will be see more of a return to slower, more relatable, minimal edited, genuine creation 🤔
@sleeepwaalker1
Its every 6 months (days) at this point..
Just say you're a bad creator 😅
-No they aren't "stealing" your views
-its a different audience
-Amouranth worked for YEARS to get where they are now.
- its not "easy" to be successful even if you try to do what they do 🙃

Gluten free is bad enough on its own but trying to add Vegan or even Veggie on top of that is a nightmare..

@LoveBrittany
I hope more happens than just "taken down"
its great you do this but people who steal/share content should get more severe punishments
One of my absolute FAVOURITE things to do as a creator, is when I get brand deals or gifted product offers that I cant accept,
I'll always point these companies in the direction of other creators I know, that I think would be a good fit or would enjoy testing that Item
This is 🔥
One of the biggest issues with Dialing in White Balance on most other cameras is the lack of green/magenta control..
This is going to fix a whole bunch of problems, especially for those people using more "budget" lighting setups
Facecam Pro is about to get even more .... Pro 🙌
Dial in the perfect skin tone with manual tint control
Available now in beta via a free firmware update:
Appreciate all Support and Kind Messages about my

I forgot a lot of you hadn't seen this when i first made/posted it 🤭
Still wild to me, how many views it managed to get on here 🤷♂️
