Voice is basically non-negotiable. You can do without facecam if your attitude/humour/style attracts enough, but voice is the absolute bare minimum.

Yours seem to be more so actual guides, and for those people will want clear cut instructions, and at least i personally want spoken language in guides so that i can have the video on while doing the activity in question, so that i can follow instructions side by side.
yeah i see that i just shared those for example

You can definitely do it, you need to stream pretty much everyday though.

Knusch right before aoe 4 dropped was getting 150-200 viewers just by playing everyday not using mic etc.

its viable but needs a lot of time.

You can do it by Youtube, but to get to the point of being monetized is going to be a lot of work.

Have you considered freelancing? You may have some skills you can be paid for online on sites like Upwork, which will pay you in dollars.
Can you use this if you're in the UK?

150 viewers will not bring you to 200$ a month. A mic and significant interaction with the chat are just mandatory for any beginning streamer.

You can use it pretty much anywhere, sites might differ but yeah.

I think on paper if you make other aoe 3 content to reach more people and stream 200+ hrs a month and manually spam adverts, you probably could make 200 and more but you could also do all of that and a lot less in a different game and make 10000 or something. Sometime it can be demotivating when you put so much effort in to something and get little return unless you have passion for it.
However some people are well established and kind and if they love aoe 3 a lot and understand that support really helps streamers and you're really making good content, you could also get gifted subs or donations so it doesn't really matter how many people watch you.
At the end of the day it's possible and more.
I think when streaming need to give people incredible VALUE because at the end of the day they're giving you your time which is already such a huge thing imo.

Spoken about YouTube, this platform can possibly complement the 200$.
I don't think you should recommend a dead end.

@Yukietti If you go with streaming I think you have a much better chance with AOE4. Look at AussieDrongo for example. In fact, you could contact him for advice.

Another possibility is online tutoring.

You said you can spend up to 3 hours a day, so in a month that's 90 hours. So you need to average about $3 per hour. I'm sure there's got to be SOME activity you can do on the internet for $3 an hour.

Also, finish your channel. Make an (AoE3) banner, use video descriptions, make a channel description and most important: use clickbait titles and thumbnails.

Agreed, if you're doing 3 hours a day(~60 hours a month) you should be able to get way more than 200 usd worth if value.

One thing ive picked up while chatting to people is that most viewers are only on one platform or the other, not much crossover. I would focus on one more than the other for the first month. You should realistically be playing both games i think (aoe3 & aoe4) to try and drive eyes towards your channel.

If you are not mega talented at the game or a super likeable character the road will be super tough,

Also set a schedule and stick to it and maybe not stream at like 10am gmt,

If its your passion go for it but have other plans in place in case it doesnt grow as you hope

If you could add weird faces on it, that would make it more eye catching. Put a bolas unit face on it and draw weird eyes or whatever.

Ah the 6 min bolas ff.

I think for this I prefer starting by building 3 kanchas and then using one of the age up builders to get the TP. the eco you get is barely enough in age 3 to continuously spam out of 1 kallanka

edit: inca just really needs their starting resources reduced, 300 wood 200 food (the same as china) should make it fine

It's a good video. You can improve it by adding a facecam and your voice.

Especially your voice is important.

It's good to see you producing so much content. I like the video, but the in-game sound is too loud, compared to your voice.

Title, thumbnail and quality is pretty good! I'd advise you to lower the in-game sound though and to be a bit more informative in the description of the video.
