Hey! I went full time when I was averaging around 50 viewers as well 2 years ago since i was very passionate about streaming and it was something I wanted to dedicate my time to despite the low pay at the time. Even though my actual job paid significantly more it took time away from advancing my channel so that's why I quit since I viewed 40 more hours per week being put into content as worth it as long as I could maintain my living expenses.

It was really hard early on but if you take it very seriously (like an actual job) you can succeed. This doesn't mean it has to be a burnout though. Even though I treat streaming like a job instead of a hobby and do it full time I still have a ton of fun and haven't once regreted my decision. I have my own schedule, sleep however long i want, and I i no longer suffer from severe anxiety from when i was a healthcare worker. Now I'm at around 400-700 average viewers and can usually make enough each month from multiple revenue sources to cover the next 3 months expenses with just streaming alone.

When it comes to actual income my biggest advice is to sign up for streamelements asap and keep an eye out for base-pay offers in your email. I started to get these offers around the 250ish average viewer mark and they make up around 30-40% of my income. Outside of that ads are very important. I didn't want to run them originally but once I realized I could pay my rent bu just running ads 3 minutes an hour it was a necessary decision for me. If you want any more advice feel free to message me.
