My voice is so cooked 🫠 Between nopixel and rust isles it's like 12hrs a day of nonstop talking

Wanted to put some thoughts and clarifications out there! First off, I think healthy skepticism is a good thing. You absolutely SHOULD be questioning things, examining the economics of any business in this space, and properly weighing all types of services out there. • Level One is a service for people who are interested in making this go from hobby to career. This means it's for people with enough streaming revenue to afford it, or people who work a comfortable day job while pursuing streaming, like I did. If you're just starting out, then Level One (or any management service) is probably not for you. Just use the free info that's out there and see how things go first! Staff is regularly advising folks in support tickets that this isn't for them and to wait a bit before considering paid management/guidance. • The manager hours for scheduled 1 on 1 meetings are what's limited, but there is a manager sitting in vc for open office hours often. Members can also access them via chat rather than hopping into VC any time. • Sponsorship deal flow isn't part of this company because I already have a separate, successfully running company to handle sponsorships. For the record, that one's already paid out over half a million to creators (and it doesn't charge any fee to creators). As soon as the platform version of that is ready, Level One members will get early access to it. • We are not an agency, we are management. I talk about this on stream all the time, please look into what each of those is and does. They aren't the same! • The price is set to an amount that allows me to pay my managers/staff a fair wage. Many of the people I have on staff would easily cost thousands per month if hired for individual consulting. I want creators who could never afford consultant rates to be able to access that quality somehow, and this is a path toward that. I'll make either very little or nothing from this project in particular, because any extra is going into hiring more staff and increasing the service quality wherever we can. • If my main goal was to make money for myself, I would just do a couple extra sponsorships and make more than I foresee this project ever being able to make me. Most of my companies are just me experimenting with different business models to see what options can exist in this space. I just want this service to exist, it doesn't have to be me running it! If anyone else wants to take a swing at offering services to creators in a different way, I wholeheartedly support you doing so.

I’M ANNOUNCING MY NEXT PROJECT I know I said I’d never start a Talent company, buuuuut I’m starting a Talent company. Introducing: Level One Talent A company with a different business model than your traditional Talent management company. The goal is to give you all the essentials I would have wanted when I was starting out streaming, but instead of taking a % of your income, it will just be a flat monthly fee. Here’s some of what it offers: • Guides for every aspect of streaming • Community game servers for all talent to join • Weekly Guest Speakers that are well versed in relevant topics for content creators • Business and service reviews from other creators • Regular support and meetings with Talent Managers • Access to our network of vetted artists/makers • Over the next few days, I’ll go into detail about the remaining offerings and how many of the systems in here will interact. I made this a simple monthly subscription so as soon as you feel like you’re no longer getting value from it, you can move on. I don’t intend for streamers to stay in Level One forever. As the name implies, it’s meant to be the first level of your streaming career, and a place that you get all the resources I feel are necessary to take streaming seriously. It’ll take a few more days to ramp up and work out the kinks, so if you join now, please bear with us as we tune things during this Alpha Launch week. To make up for inevitable launch scuff, subscriptions will be 50% off for anyone that signs up early. I hope you’ll give it a shot! discord.gg/7QJ3Xgr2yA

just taught henya how to throw it back

The main way that most of us find games nowadays is by watching streamers play them, but there are so many amazing games out there that we’ll never get to see because marketing is often the last thing on indie devs’ minds. I’ve tried to help where I can by hosting Indie Game Gauntlets and other events for indie games, and I think it's important to keep scaling where I can by using my network to give opportunities to the indie devs who need it the most, so I’m announcing: The Little Guy Program - Test Launch • Must be a 1-2 person team. That means a maximum of 1-2 equity holders and 1-2 on salary. It’s okay if you’ve hired outside contractors, but I want to work with the little guys who truly love to make games but can’t quite afford industry-standard marketing rates. • You must have 1 fully launched game on Steam with more on the way. • If accepted, you provision 10+ game keys, and I find you creators (of all sizes) that would be genuinely interested in trying your game and potentially streaming it. • You get free marketing, they get a free key, and I get to test my systems! Disclaimer: You won’t have to sign anything for this test launch, but I hope you’re honest about the size of your studio and don’t try to ruin a good thing for others. forms.gle/qJcJyM2jekZvBDQV9 ^ Apply here if interested, or tag your dev friends if you think I may be able to help them!

Pausing for a second to express how lucky I feel every day to get to do things I like with people I enjoy. Most of my closest friends have come from my time as a content creator through VTubing, NoPixel, or in random discord servers. I seriously cannot express how unique and kind the friends I’ve made are. As I think back on how I made it to where I am, I picture tons of faces that helped me along that path. I think the best thing I can do with my time and position is try to be one of those faces for others. But since I’m also a corporate sicko, I’m approaching it with scale in mind, especially now that my health has vastly improved. That said, I’m here to announce more announcements: I didn’t just start 1 company, I’m actually starting 7 projects across 4 companies. For the rest of this month, I’m going to shitpost a little bit less and focus on telling you about what I’ve been working on as a founder in the creator industry. All of these projects are launching in Alpha or Beta, so I’m turning all of you (especially mutuals) into my guinea pigs to give me feedback as you try things out. Working myself to death any%
