So guys i have a bit of news...
Im officially a @DestinyTheGame creator!
Im so happy to join a great bunch of people this year has been w's all around!
Please be patient to UK content creators
We are currently being hit with a pretty intense heatwave, meaning we'll probably be working a tad slower, have less energy and may even need to take a break from our PCs to prevent them from overheating
Also none of this "Well we have it hotter over here" bs:
- UK heat is built different
- Most of us don't have ACs since we rarely NEED them for most of the year
- Our houses are built to keep heat in due to how cold our weather can get
- We aren't as used to hot weather given how 80% of the year, UK weather isn't hot
We're not trying to dispute who has it worse/hotter, we just want patience and understanding 🙏
As someone who took their channel full variety over 6 years ago (from Destiny) with relative success, I’m once again encouraging fellow Destiny creators to start making moves. Now. Don’t wait until June. Start NOW.
Where to go from here?
1) Find a new genre, game, or niche. This could be a lateral hop to another similar game, or a complete change in interest.
2) Go full variety. This is the harder path to take imo. Hopping between games will constantly divide viewers, outside of your regular diehards.
What to expect?
Expect a huge decrease in all metrics. It’s just… part of the reality of the game. You need to plan for this. You need to know it’s gonna happen. Don’t look at it as failing. It’s a transition. Make adjustments in your own life to accommodate. Focus on what you CAN control and stick to it. Look at it as an investment. You’re investing and costing resources into your brand now, to build up a different path for the future. Once things stabilize, holes will fill in again. It takes time.
How to do this without shitting your pants?
Be. Confident. Approach it with a leadership mentality. YOU are guiding the path. Don’t say things like “Maybe we’ll try this” or “Let’s see how it goes” or “What do you guys wanna see” etc etc. Take control of your content. Be passionate about what you’re doing. And lead the path. Think things like “This is where I’m excited to go” or “You guys are gonna love this” or “I’ve been loving this and y’all will too” etc etc. Be excited and get your community excited. Energy transfers over.
Anything else?
Find your thing. It may take some time. Each failed video is just a step closer to the next successful one. Image a version of you from the future tells you “Hey! Your 124th video/stream is the one that changed your career!” So if your first 50 vids/streams aren’t great, you’re just closer to that 124th.
Listen. There is no playbook for streaming and YouTube success. Not everyone is gonna make it. The best thing you can do is try. Things aren’t over. There’s just a current hurdle. Jump over that shit. But have a plan. Take care of yourself, your family, and anything yours. Life is a challenge. If it wasn’t, it’d be boring. I always tell my chat: “I’d rather be busy and stressed, than bored and depressed.”
Cheers, my friends.
Destiny made a mark on me as a player first. Getting a chance to work in that world is an honor I'll never fully be able to repay. Both in and out of game, Destiny 2 forged the core memories that made me who I am today. Thanks to everyone who brought the tower to life everyday.
I am in genuine disbelief. I never imagined the day would come so soon that destiny would be gone. To anyone who feels absolutely gutted right now... im right there with ya.
I don’t know what to say.
There will be another time. But saying goodbye like this is more painful than I can fathom.
I dedicated my life to bringing you the stories of this world. I can only hope that the road doesn’t end here for good.
Video coming soon.
After trolling on this app multiple times about proposing to my girlfriend...
...I can confirm that this is not a joke 💍
After making her (and you) wait 5 years, I popped the magic question near our favourite bar in Cyprus and she said yes!
So happy with how my life is going and now I get to spend the rest of it with my soulmate ❤️
