Reply To: Seeing my first paycheck from streaming made me feel like a real person

[Jalan Khann]

Streaming was always a hobby until I found out that top indie streamers were making serious money. I stumbled upon https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/online-gaming-as-a-career-in-india/ and realized that it was no longer a niche but mainstream. The article talked about roles such as professional gamers, coaches, commentators and developers all building careers. I took notes on sponsorship and advertising and started treating my streaming channel like a startup. Since then, I’ve built up an unreal momentum and my first donation felt like a boss-level reward.
