While I am still tinkering with the improvements of my skills as a YouTuber (a more professional microphone has already been purchased), I have thought a few things in today’s video about what to consider, for example, if you want to become self-employed as an esports team or as a streamer/YouTuber or if you are seriously planning to perform professionally on the market.

As always, I’m grateful for feedback, even though I know I can still improve illumination, sound and the like in the upcoming videos. Also always welcome are “reader questions” for my VLOG. Simply send them to haertel@rahaertel.com or ask briefly via Twitter. The most interesting videos will be later on the ones that answer specific questions. So get on with it.
