💻 Step 2: Set Up Your Equipment
You don’t need the most expensive gear, but quality matters.
Here’s your basic setup:
Webcam: Logitech C920 or better
Lighting: Ring light or softbox lights
Computer: Decent laptop or desktop (i5 CPU minimum)
Internet: High-speed (upload speeds of 5 Mbps+)
Optional Extras:
External microphone for clearer sound
Fun backgrounds or room decorations
✨ Step 3: Create Your Look and Brand
Ask yourself:
What vibe do you want to give off? (Cute, edgy, classy, playful?)
How will you decorate your cam space?
Do you want to use a stage name for privacy?
Branding is key to standing out and building loyal fans!
💬 Step 4: Plan Your Shows and Goals
Before you hit "Go Live," think about:
Show themes (dance party, cosplay, casual chat)
Tip menus (clear rewards for different tip levels)
Daily/weekly goals (like "500 tokens = special show")
Structure = more tips!
🎥 Step 5: Start Streaming!
Smile, relax, and have fun!
Engage your viewers — ask questions, say hello to new names, thank tippers by name.
Don’t get discouraged if it’s slow at first. Success builds over time!
Remember: Every cam star started with zero viewers on Day 1.
