Sponsors, Sponsors, Sponsors
In the business world, your customers want to know if someone with a good reputation is behind your product. People don’t buy anything unless it’s sponsored or it has a cat’s face on it. You can try to stream a game with a cat on your face and see how far that gets you, or you could just get sponsors. Sponsors can help you make a name for yourself and will always have your back. All you’d have to do is be entertaining for a couple of hours a week and in return, you get money, fame, free swag to give. And sometimes Mountain Dew, but only on Thursdays.
Sponsors can get you far in the streaming world, but first you have to prove to them that you’re worthy of their time. You can do this one of two ways. One, blackmail one of the employees into sponsoring you and giving you money to hype their products. Two, you could just catch their attention by being funny and interesting and not blackmail them, but where’s the fun in that?
