There's definitely room to grow. I stream on Saturday, so I'm going head to head with official Wizards broadcasts of GPs and SCG Opens. I still hit 40+ viewers and get new followers every time. I would probably be more popular if I did it more than once a week and was better at the game

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 9:24 pm

Approximately how much per month do you make with 40ish viewers 4 times a month? Is it more than $20?

hamfactorial · Postby **hamfactorial** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 9:26 pm

I make zero dollars, I'm not a twitch partner. I don't think anyone would subscribe to watch me battle my rogue brews once a week

hamfactorial · Postby **hamfactorial** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 9:28 pm

If I worked from home (my end goal) and could do a stream every day without biting into production, I'd look at it more seriously.

I don't think you should do it for the Money (it may ruin the magic experience for you) I get roughly 15-20 dollars per month but I make less then 1k views.

Sites like CFB make 1k+ views with each video (they segment the matches into all 3 rounds), that said I'm happy to earn some extra chump change playing and filming one event per day anyways - I'm in the inf. though so I don't lose anything for it, if your filming limited I can see why you'll want an return.

i just want to figure out if it's worth the effort to set up a stream and commentate my drafts/matches. if i'm only getting $10-$15 a month from it idk if i can justify the extra work...

magicdownunder · Postby **magicdownunder** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 4:24 am

When you film your own game (after first few... for me the first few games on film were horrible since I couldn't focus properly) I think you'll find filming makes you a better player.

Setting up stream is also only annoying the first time (I think? because I have no idea how to do it - but if you want to stream on YouTube I can help with that)

MDU:

Is there anything intricate about getting set up on YouTube? Twitch has a YouTube exporter, and free ad revenue seems fine.

magicdownunder · Postby **magicdownunder** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 8:16 am

App. it helps attract large crowds (not many people do live magic streams on youtube) and since its MANY times easier to become a youtube partner then a twitch partner it also help in earning money.

Youtube also provides the recording program so that's nice as well......

I'd like to stream, but so often my baby will need attention randomly for several minutes and such. Even after shes asleep. If I recorded I could edit I suppose, but I don't really want to spend any money on a decent software. Thoughts?

OBS is free, quit being a pussy. Put your baby on camera, it will attract more viewers.

Depending on the file format OBS uses, windows has a movie editor built in. It's effective for chopping up a video.

Jonnymagic · Postby **Jonnymagic** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 5:33 pm

OBS? Also I do believe Zoe would attract more viewers than myself -- however she sits still for a grand total of 30 second intervals. LOL.

hamfactorial · Postby **hamfactorial** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:45 pm

Open Broadcast Software, I use it to stream

Jonnymagic · Postby **Jonnymagic** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:58 pm

Ok -- maybe I'll try it out for my next 8 man or w/e. Just DL OBS and use it through twitch?

BlakLanner · Postby **BlakLanner** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:59 pm

Pretty much. Twitch has an excellent help page on how to set OBS up to work properly with Twitch.

I can't remember who said they wanted to play in the same BNG limited prelim as me but I'm in the one that starts in 3.5 hours and it only has 30 spots left so get in while you can!

I'm on the bus home so not sure what I can sign up for

See what's left for tonight when I get home

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 11:33 pm

ah shit, the 7:30 one is full and nobody is dropping.

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 11:44 pm

That's why you gotta bring your laptop to work like me

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 11:45 pm

I'm in

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:48 am

I really wanted to play the UR but it only has 13 creatures, and that's if I'm playing rageblood shaman

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:49 am

your pool is so good

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:49 am

mine is unworkable

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:50 am

I usually don't play drown in sorrow, but if it's going to be decent in any deck I think it's this one. Only 4 of my 15 creatures die to it, and one of those is a bestow.

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:51 am

it's definitely above average. I'm a little concerned by my lack of 2 drops tho

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:51 am

wish I had a returned phalanx or a baleful eidolon

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:51 am

Not a fan of Cavern Lampad or Drown though. I like Divination over it, or Weight.

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:57 am

my pool was really, really weak.

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 1:01 am

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 1:02 am

I don't like to go under 15 creatures and I already have 1 divination. the weight has always been poor for me but I sided it in round 1 cause I saw 3 2/2s game 1. my opponent was playing GBW meh and barely put up a fight.

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 1:04 am

divination or weight might have been correct over the drown tho...I admittedly don't play divination that much

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 1:11 am

pretty sure i submitted the inferior deck of my two best options, like usual

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 1:12 am

i always try forcing my color preferences to work

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 1:18 am

1-0 anyways

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 1:22 am

post your pool? I wanna see how bad it is
