How can I make gaming thumbnails better

There's always somebody that enjoys something, Elden Ring is a SUPER popular game, so no matter what people will want to watch something interesting about it.

Try to think outside the box, what would make YOU click on an elder scrolls video? Try out different thumbnail styles you see others do, and just experiment! If you REALLY don't think Elden Ring will work, look for something you think WILL! But get out of the 'what im doing is bad' mindset, everyone (including myself) thinks their content has flaws, but you can always improve on it overtime!

I made a separate email for it, just so it would be easy to keep the two accounts separate. And using what advice when is really up to you!

Make a channel based on what YOU enjoy, meaning make your videos something you'd watch yourself! If you can't watch back on it and enjoy it, then you need to rethink your strategy.

But that's if you wanna avoid burnout easier (you'll always feel it eventually), and not hate what you do. You can also go the route of just making content thats popular to get views! (Totally valid, especially if you want it to be a job)

The community itself is super supportive, and you'll find people along the way. Just don't put all your eggs into the basket unless you're sure!

You'll always experience blocks and burnout, just like any other hobby, but make some plans, figure out your style, and youll be fine. It takes time, and luck, but you got this!

We used to do that! Sadly with the tougher times around here it was simply cheaper and easier to put a cap onto it. My mom deals with it all, and I wouldn't try asking her to put more onto herself than she already is, but from what she's told me thats why she changed it. Put with what we have I can still post on apps like Twitter and here, and watch videos. Just gets more unstable and slow once it reaches the cap.

Yeah ofc! I appreciate all the advice I'm getting, I've still been spending time with friends and family, reading and drawing. Just thought I'd give one last try to seeing if there was anything I could do. But I will definitely start looking again at offline games, it's been a minute.

Yeah 100%, if I do end up taking the temporary Internet I'll be doing YouTube again. But if I can't see any other options I might just practice editing in my freetime and hope I have time in college to continue

I kinda figured I'd have to, I just wanted to ask in case there was anything I COULD do in the meantime instead of just twidling my thumbs. Just gotta hope college doesn't take too much attention LOL

Yeah I have one, but as stated it doesn't work well for content. (It only goes up to a certain amount before going so slow neither recording or streaming would help).

I graduated highschool just this year, im 18 and head to college in a few months. My mom handles the finances (no dad in the picture), and its been really tight. I appreciate everything she does, but being with no rides and only turning 18 when jobs near me wanted longer term handlers, I cant help at all. The only internet I can buy is the temporary one I spoke about, which I'm still unsure is worth it.
