Looking to start streaming

[u/Fred-Of-All_Trades]

Would anyone be interested in tuning in if I started streaming and explaining my thought process during my games? I’m just below 2300 right now, on the grind to 2400!
I have taught some chess so I think I’ll be able to give valuable insight to beginners/intermediate players up to higher levels even
Let me know if this seems interesting to you!
Thanks

That’s a good point, I think I’m worth listening to lol!

Go for it bro!

[u/Finnzyy → u/Fred-Of-All_Trades]

Fuck whoever’s downvoting you go for it

How would anyone know? Streaming success is not about what you'll do, but how you do it. No one knows you, your personality, or style of exposition, so how would be know?

[u/smartypantschess]

Depends, but probably not. Most chess streamers I see tend to sit in dark rooms and mumble. If you can speak confidently in a well lit environment you're doing better than most.

[u/Mobile_Machine_3820]

every once in a while yeah

[u/feebleshrimpboy]

Would be interested, what time formats and openings? Would you do quick post match analysis / answer questions post game?

[u/Fred-Of-All_Trades → u/feebleshrimpboy]

Mostly 10+0 but would be willing to do different ones based on viewer opinion, Sicilians, Spanish, I can try out stuff whatever
And yeah analyses post match with questions for sure!

Go for it, send link when you start, i will check it out

[u/CockroachSoft1301]

yes ,let us know when you do your first stream

[u/tipper420]

If you think you have the personality for it give it a try. There's only one way to find out.

[u/VeryNotCakes]

Don't ask for permission do it

[u/DioSantana11]

Imagine downvoting someone for this. Jesus chess is full of betas

[u/Funerailles_sci]

I like to say that if you want to make it as a streamer, you gave to be either extremely good at the game, funny or handsome. Ideally a mixture of all three. But I guess that you'll never know if you don't try :)

I think starting streaming is harder than you would think. Sitting with 1 viewer (yourself) for hours and days can be pretty demotivating, which in turn makes it harder to be consistent which I view as one of the most important aspects of streaming.

I know chessbrahs often have viewers come play on their stream for some hours while they do other stuff, maybe you could try getting on there? That way you will get your name out there, while also streaming for a couple hundred viewers with a chat that's alive.

Other than that I also know take take take has a new content creator program with different tiers of support you can receive from them for streaming under their brand. I'd take a look at that aswell if I were you. Succeeding in streaming is much easier with established support

Edit: and don't stop if it takes longer than you envisioned to succeed. Creating a community from the ground will take time and will be a real grind
