How I got started with Live Streaming. One day after I got off of a bad day at work, I wanted to make something or do something to get my mind off of the bad day. I decided to take the expensive risk of buying a Capture Card, otherwise known as an HDPVR. The one I bought was $150 and I also bought a headset so that I could have a fairly good microphone so my voice was crisp and clear. I ended up spending $200, which is quite a bit for some who should be saving his money.
So when I bought it I had 15 days to decide if I was going to return it, and I have decided not to. So I'm pretty much in this for good. my first few streams were just test streams working out with some settings so that I could have the least delay in my stream and have the best quality with the sad computer I have. My next upgrade is going to be a PC. With much better specs, don't worry I'm going somewhere with this.
On my stream I have a donate button so that when I become popular people may donate to my stream so that I can buy better equipment and produce a better stream.
In my first two weeks of streaming I have accomplished more than most streamers accomplish in their first few months. I got over 100 followers in the first 10 days, and I was talking to some of my followers about how I got popular so quick and why I can get 100 followers in 10 days while most get about 20 followers in 2 months. I learned its that I talk to my followers more than most streamers, but that's because I wish to make my channel more of a central hub where people can come and talk to me or each other about whatever they want to.

What It Is
Live streaming is more or less like television for video games, where someone plays video games at their home and they stream it live to a website and other people can go and watch it for free and they can chat with the gamer. It is a fun way to play video games, and if you are good enough, or popular enough you can actually get paid to play video games. That is exactly what I wish to do, and don't get me wrong I love the fact that I can play video games and be an entertainer to those who may not have the game or are just looking for some interesting conversations.
That would technically make me "Famous" which is a dream of mine, I want to become famous so I can be an inspiration and an entertainer. It is fun to do, and with the proper funding it is fairly easy to get into. All you need is software and a game to begin this amazing thing, you can get more equipment so that you stream in better quality and or better games.
My goal as a Live Streamer is to bring comedy and a sense of community to my channel, I want everyone to feel welcome to chat with me and the other chatters about whatever they please. In my stream, I do not tolerate bullying or anything affiliated with bullying, if Someone gets bullied I give the bully a warning, and if they don't stop I time them out, which is muting their chatting capabilities for a set amount of time. A "timeout". If they come back to bully, I will ban them.
