How to stream on Twitch (A Start-up Guide for Musicians (Part 2))

Hi Folks! I hope you are doing well! I am back with part 2 of my mini series on how to stream on Twitch as a musician. Anyone that follows me may know that I became affiliated on Twitch at the end of last year, meaning I have started to make money from livestreaming, and I wanted to make a complete start-up guide explaining how you can build up your livestreaming platform and get to the point where you make revenue from Twitch streams. In the last episode (https://youtu.be/xMckZGkhg50?si=C40jPiFKijELMPco), I covered the Twitch platform, dos and don'ts, information about the community and how to personalise and fill out your musician profile on Twitch. Here, in part 2, I cover what equipment you will need to get streaming on Twitch. I talk about general considerations to make for your video, sound, background, branding etc, and provide some links for some of the things I talk about below. Let me know any questions you may have in the comments and I will try to address them in a future video, and in the upcoming third part for this series, I will also cover how to use streamlabs OBS to livestream your musical performances! If you are new to streaming, or hope to be, then hopefully you find this video useful. Please find relevant timestamps and links below. Thanks for all your support! Lots of new music content coming!
