04:55[00:04] trending. If you consider yourself cool and interesting, then you stream. And if you suddenly stream too. But alas, not everyone is destined to be a streamer. Or rather, a very small number of people. Everyone else will have to drive a 2005 Mercedes
[00:17] instead of a 2025, live in a two- room apartment instead of seventeen, eat one lobster for breakfast instead of three. Phew. God forbid you live like that, of course, but I'm here today so that the second option will never be useful to you. Because I'll teach you how to be a
[00:30] treasure that I myself don't possess. Here you are, already sitting at the computer. Or at the phone, ready to press the button to start broadcasting. But that's not the problem. You're only 12 years old and you're a dumb schoolboy. Bet. What should I do? I advise you to go study math and write nettles with a stick.
[00:44] Yeah, in the winter, but seriously, I don't advise starting a stream at 12. It's better to start a stream at 12:30 Well, if we're being more serious, what about your age? Isn't it a disgrace to stream at such a young age? What if Odnoklassniki laughs at you when
[00:56] they see what you're wearing, and then also because of your streams? I think age doesn't matter in this matter. But the salesman Igor from the liquor store doesn't agree with me and didn't sell me six bottles of vodka yesterday. I'm
[01:08] 14, by the way. Is it possible to admit that you have complexes about your voice or about the way you look? This is very easily solved. Just Quadro Bear mask, and stick a gag right in your mouth. Now you'll have
[01:21] even more complexes. Don't thank me. You can hide your age and say you're 16 or older. The main thing is not to be a Zavra, and don't seriously claim that you're 45 with the face of a 12-year-old child. Zavra, and don't seriously claim that you're 45 with the face of a 12-year-old child.
[01:34] need to become a streamer. Because it's not keyboards, and four monitor and three eggs just kidding four monitors you don't need Let's think what every streamer has besides hemorrhoids and a lot of money
[01:49] right microphone but not everyone has money for a really good microphone or more precisely no money for food But especially for you I found a very cool and high-quality microphone for its price namely Lamborghini fif Hyper blet Soyuz
[02:02] 310 By the way the sound from it in my opinion is quite decent for its price By the way comrade acquaintance rogue and just a person uses the same microphone dumpling 2005 on his channel you can find cool videos like How to craft a workbench and what drops from a
[02:17] pig As for me it's very cool and informative and just subscribe because I got paid Excellent Now everyone who sits on your stream will hear you but I would like to not only hear you And also cover your ears so that
[02:29] your voice explodes eardrums in short one sound is not enough to also be seen that is you need a webcam not to be confused with your father's camera not a prison one but like and in the case of the microphone, there are
[02:41] become a normal person and not a [ __ ], so I had to invent my own prototype, or rather, steal it from a random office near me. Don't judge strictly. Better yet, check out the quality of my autism. As you
[02:56] know, all cool streamers have a second monitor. So they can stream on one, and on the other, and on the second, and on the second. Many streamers also didn't have enough money to improve the quality of their stream, namely, pictures on the webcam, they
[03:08] use lighting so that you can be seen. Right now, I'll show you how lighting improves the quality of the picture. But since we are very economical, well, that is, we won't buy any [ __ ] professional lamps. Ask. What should you do then? I advise
[03:22] you to turn on the streams after they start turning on the lights in your area. Just place your workstation opposite this light. And a cool professional studio light will shine in your face. And most importantly, free light. By the way, this is how it
[03:34] all looks together, in my opinion, it's decent, I say it's decent. Unsubscribe Now let's talk about what you should do on the stream so that it doesn't become interesting. I'm telling you right away that watching you eat [ __ ] and wash it down with urine on camera is of no
[03:47] interest to anyone except me. Okay, jokes aside, now I'll give you a cool idea for a stream: eating [ __ ] and drinking urine on camera. No, that's already happened. Sorry. In that case, I'm ready to offer you another one with a friend. Go outside and
[04:01] start dancing hard and don't forget to put down the jar for alms and sit in a wheelchair and make a pitiful face. Maybe this idea for a stream will seem strange to you, but just look at this cucumber. It's strange and now
[04:14] my idea doesn't seem so stupid anymore. As you know, people these days like to often, this happens from childhood grievances and adults and a slipper on the ass. Therefore, I suggest you make a stream like this: you just take a jar of Nutella.
[04:29] Sit back comfortably, turn on some cool movie and start watching the movie. Eating Nutella with a disgruntled expression every 5 minutes they were saying how bad I feel this Nutella is so sweet and yes, I hasten to
[04:42] warn you, this can be called a mocking stream. If you are diabetic face a small problem. After all, no one was sitting on your stream and there was zero online. I translate into human language, you are of no [ __ ] use to anyone.
[04:55] The question arises: how to make sure that at least someone comes to your streams? After all, inviting your entire family every time so that they watch you is a little uncool, don't worry. The blogger has already figured everything out for you, as you know, these numbers
[05:07] figured everything out for you, as you know, these numbers are people, and these numbers are. Well, here's what is required of you: take a marker and a piece of cardboard with a rope and write a link to your Twitch channel there, put it around your neck and go outside and
[05:20] start pestering people unobtrusively asking them to subscribe to your Twitch, but there are a couple of downsides: you can get punched in the face and you can also get punched in the face a second time. You donation link, but to ensure people
[05:33] donate, write it on a sign to help kittens. Let's say you've already held your tenth stream, you've already got a stable 50 online, sometimes they send you money for treatment. Or, whatever you prefer to call them, donations, you can say that you're a
[05:45] Streamer. You can also say about the apple that it's green, and to grow your audience even more, you have two options: first, start doing trash streams or do collaborations. Although sometimes some collaborations are more like
[05:58] trash streams. But here's the problem: you've become a self-righteous scum and don't want collaborations like you do. And by serving you all sorts of Vilonovsky and boosters, look. What you, I'm recording this appeal to Evelon Bratishkin, a booster. Well, there's still a collaboration
[06:16] with you, I know how to do it, I'm a well-versed
[06:31] talk to some of them personally. If anything, click the link in the description.
