>>63715550 (cont.)>Coping with 0 viewsIt's hard in the beginning when it feels like no one is watching. You'll put in all this effort just to see that little view counter read 0 and lose hope. It's okay to feel disheartened. It's always hard right at the beginning with nothing. The way to get around this is to ask your friends for help. Get some buddies to help artificially boost your numbers if need be. Promote your streams through the right channels. Focus on finding your voice and making mistakes while you're still small. The views will come later the more you learn. Don't bank so much on that counter, just keep exploring the practise.
>This can be a hobby (that is sometimes profitable)There's so much pressure to be a huge vtuber with all the success but truth is, you don't have to. You can be on the smaller side and have a dedicated small fanbase. You can be a hobbyist. You can enjoy vtubing and its craft without ever touching the mainstream. Everybody will have different approaches to this sub-culture and its craft. There's no correct way to do it. If you wanna reach for the stars, go for it. If you wanna chill with your friends as an anime model, that's cool too. Do what you like.
Anyways there's the advice. Take what you feel applies to you. Hope it helps you on your journey.
