Spotlight: streaming 101

Good morning, afternoon, and evening ladies and gentlemen! Hope you all are enjoying the warmer weather this summer season! It’s been awhile since I last updated Tip Top Shape, so I felt now would be a good time to do so! So what topic are we tackling today? Well, why not talk about something that has taken the internet by storm? Yep, we’re discussing streaming! For those unfamiliar, streaming is as form of media which is typically done live for an audience. Much like live news broadcasts, but on the internet. So what if you wanna get into streaming? Let’s discuss some basics!

• Find a Topic: What do you enjoy? Perhaps it’s music, video games, commentary, cooking, graphic design, photography? Taking something you enjoy and sharing it online with others can help motivate you! Find what clicks with you and that you can talk about for potentially hours on end.

• Find an Audience: Think of who you want to watch your content. Who do you want to share your hobbies and passions with? Likely, if you have keen interests in something, others will share your interests. Show why you enjoy something and what makes it worth sharing in your eyes.

• Spend Smart: Imagine, you’re at the store to buy some streaming gear, perhaps a microphone, maybe a webcam, some headphones? Well stop right there! Before you buy some streaming gear, think about creating a small budget for it. The last thing you’d want to do is purchase numerous items for streaming and end up not not enjoying it or being unable to do it. What does your budget permit you to buy? Do you really need that expensive microphone when you’re just starting out? Such questions can help you save money!

• Timing is Everything: How much free time do you have? Would you want to dedicate some of it to streaming? Be sure to prioritize real responsibilities and not lose focus on what really matters. Just like with any other hobby, allot the appropriate amount of time to it!

And that are some of the tips I’ve found to be helpful when it comes to streaming! Streaming in itself can be intimidating at first, but don’t let that dissuade you from doing so! Streaming can be a genuinely enjoyable pass-time and it gives each individual an opportunity to share what they love with others. That’ll wrap up our lesson for today! And I hope these tips help keep your streaming experience in Tip Top Shape!
