Second Monitor for Twitch

When I started on Twitch I was using a TV screen which was great for gaming. But what wasn't great, I was very distracted by the game and wasn't reading chat as much as I should have. It was incredibly hard to stay focused on the game while keeping up with conversation. What changed everything for me was actually just getting a second monitor.

People offered me advice with downloading bots to make a noise any time someone said anything in chat, but that would pick up on my stream and it would get annoying for people just watching the show. I took a chance by just bitting the bullet in buying a second screen and it was the best thing I could have done.

I decided on getting a pretty cheap Acer monitor and it was worth every penny. I started noticing chat a lot more because I placed the screen extra close to me and angled in a way that I couldn't help but notice if the chatroom was moving. Unfortunately, I had to switch up my set-up so now my tv screen is in another room while now I am stuck using just the one computer monitor. I have already noticed a difference in my char room activity. I am back to my old habits.

I do plan on buying another second screen as soon as I possibly can. And I hope that my advice helps any new streamers on their decisions to upgrade this part of your set up before anything else.

What are your opinions on what to upgrade first? Let me know in the comments!

A Domain Name?

I have been told time and time again by YouTubers that claim to be successful in having incredible success from blogging and affiliate programs. Video: Why Domain Names Are Important I've watched probably over 100 youtube videos so far stating that having a domain name is extremely important in having your own online business. And I totally agree, something like having a website dedicated to my brand with a proper, easy to remember name will get people coming back more often than a forgettable 100 character long https://. Take this for example: www.catsrule.com www.catsrule.blogger.blogspot.blahblahblahblah./cats/rules Which one are you more likely going to remember and visit or re-visit one day? For real, it really makes a difference! The website that I recommend is Interserver. This web hosting site has been around for 16 years. That's crazy enough that they have been ongoing since 1999. Throughout the 16 years, they have continued to advance through their

My Twitch Microphone

I am a super noob when it comes to pretty much everything. So I ask people about their opinions on things, when I was asking around what microphone I should get, there was a unanimous vote for this particular one. The specific brand of microphone that I use is called "Blue Yeti". It is professional quality with its four pattern options: Stereo - is good for singing, ensemble choir, and instruments. Cardioid - is good for podcasts, voice overs, vocals, and instruments. Omnidirectional - is good for conference calls, field recordings, and events. Bidirectional - is good for interviews, instruments, and vocal duets. Blue Yeti USB Microphone - Blackout Edition The two that I prefer for streaming is cardiod for when I am streaming alone and bidirectional for when Aaron is in the room and he is sitting across from me. This makes it easier for my viewers on Twitch to hear only me and/or Aaron with less obstructing noises. Another great feature is the mute button. I
