    Your name: BlackFireGaming125


    Where are you from?: Texas, but I moved a few years ago.


    How old are you?: At the time of this writing, 23.


    How did you find MGN?: I joined Freedom! a few weeks ago, but I upload gaming content. Wanted to check out MGN.


    What are your hobbies?: This is sort of an odd question here. Gaming! Haha. Watching YouTube, I love the YouTuber Gopher, his channel is what I idolize mine for.


    What is your favorite food?: Anything Italian. Seriously. It's all amazing.


    Why did you start YouTube?: For years I watched other youtubers and streamers playing the same games I would play and sharing their experiences with everyone else, I realized how much fun they seemed to be having. Building their own fan bases and communities. I started YouTube because I want to be able to feel that same experience. If it turns into a full time thing, I would finally be one of those people to make a living doing something I truly love.


    What is your biggest dream?: See the end of the paragraph above.


    What kind of channel do you run?: My channel is a little of everything gaming. So far I've got some Lets Plays and montages but I would like to get a few more types of videos in as well. Reviews, first impressions, ect.


    What Console you play on?: A few of my videos were recorded via Elgato HD 60 on a PS4. I now use a PC exclusively right now.

    If you would like to know anything else, don't be scared to ask!

    What is your favorite Game?: If Legion brings the fun back to World of Warcraft, it'll be my favorite game. But right now my favorite game is Skyrim. I'm in love with Bethesda and the TES series.


    What is your favorite genre: RPG, first person, third person, MMO, I just love RPGs.

    When do you upload?: I have a rough work schedule, so right now I'm uploading whenever I can. But I'm going to be recording things and releasing them on a set schedule soon. Gotta bear with me, I've got a new-ish channel.

    Whenever I'm working my schedule usually takes a tumble, so I wouldn't be TOO worried about keeping a schedule, but if you want to start somewhere, try to have something LIKE a schedule. (I used to post things only on Mon/Wed/Fri at 5:30pm, and if I didn't have anything that day I'd skip it).

    I'm thinking about recording 1-3 videos and rendering them out while I'm sleeping or working (My FX6300 is horrid for rendering longer videos) and then uploading them on some sort of a schedule like that. I just have trouble trying to figure out how often to upload to not lose people's interest, My channel is fairly new and I think I have maybe 9-10 subs right now. Trying to get videos out fast enough to keep trying to pull viewers and subs in.

    1-3 videos a week is actually a fairly good schedule when starting out! I didn't really solidify my schedule until I had over 100 subs!

    How long did it take for you to get 100 subs? I frustrate myself looking at the stats on my channel when things start leveling out and not continuing to go up. I know it takes time but sometimes I feel like maybe it's not growing because I haven't found my niche or maybe I just don't have the right stuff. But I really want to make it work. So I keep uploading.

    I think it took me about a 8 months or so to hit the 100 mark? But I also was inactive for a LARGE period of time within that, so I'm not 100% sure. I do remember I was sitting at 50-something subs after my hiatus early on. My viewer count really exploded the first time when I played Undertale.

    I thought about playing some smaller games that a lot of the big guys don't really touch. I just haven't found any that really catch my eye and are really fun and playable. It seems like most indie rpgs are roguelike and they really annoy me haha. Always up for finding something new though.
