1
So I won a tournament back in 2019, I want to say.
2
2019 in December.
3
It was called FNCS.
4
It's like Fortnite basically has this competitive series that they do.
5
Fortnite competitive series, I think is what it's called.
6
FNCS.
7
And every single three months, they host a big tournament where millions of people can try to qualify to win hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions.
8
They're actually doing one this weekend for like $2 million.
9
I don't play anymore.
10
and I was it was like one of the first FNCS is
11
and I was really good and I had a team with me
12
and there was like millions of people who tried to qualify
13
and only I think it was I think it was like 20 teams of four
14
so the format was like four people in one group
15
and there's 20 teams or something like that
16
or 25 teams like 100 players total and we ended up qualifying for it
17
so like top 100 out of like millions and then when
18
when it's the top 100 it's obviously the best of the best.
19
And then we won that tournament.
20
And that was like, it was like $200,000 split for four people.
21
And that was your first real grasp at like attention online because you were streaming beforehand.
22
But after this event and winning the event, obviously people are going to be wondering like, who are these people that won the event?
23
And then maybe your viewership started to go up a little bit.
24
Oh yeah.
25
Like that was my boost and everything.
26
That was like before COVID too.
27
So like it kind of like, it was like a butterfly effect.
28
Like once I won that, the internet like found out who I was.
29
I started averaging like 100 viewers how much do you make
30
when you average 100 viewers on twitch
31
so it's funny i was making like it depends it's all based on hours so like
32
if you stream like 100 hours with 100 viewers you could
33
probably make around like three to four thousand dollars a month five thousand dollars a month
34
which is amazing so 100 hours in a month yeah
35
so that's that's like uh what's
36
that wage then that's like what 30 30 bucks an hour for us an hour
37
so you should just do that like eight hours every single day like a normal job
38
and you can be making 78 but it's crazy because
39
it was so funny i got offered by facebook
40
when i was averaging 100 viewers it was like right
41
when i started becoming a thing they offered me like 17k a month at like 17
42
or 18 however old i was
43
and it was like i don't know how much
44
that is a year someone do the math looks like 200
45
and something grand book smart yeah uh 200 something thousand dollars a year like 17
46
and this is before I knew I could, I was going to make money.
47
But I remember I was talking to my mom, I declined it.
48
And I wasn't even making 17k a month at that time.
49
I was just like, there's just better opportunities.
50
But yeah, it was crazy.
51
Because I would have never been here.
52
So they wanted you to go exclusive on Facebook.
53
Yeah, they wanted to take me to Facebook for 17k a month.
54
And I was like, no, I wasn't even making like one fourth of that.
55
But I was just like, I don't know, I had a feeling that I could do something better.
56
So when did you first start making real money then?
57
What's real money?
58
Like, like to the point of, you know, probably like a hundred K like, I mean, well, a hundred K a year, but I'm also going to sound completely like detached from reality.
59
Cause that's a hundred K a year is still like insane.
60
But I'm just saying in terms of, in terms of like, in terms of streaming jack you know what i mean changed
61
you see clips of people saying oh yeah i'm making like 200k a month
62
or 100k a month when
63
when did you start making like a couple hundred grand a year
64
when did when did it really take off i would honestly say right after i won
65
that tournament when i started to get exposure i started to stream way more
66
and streaming is like quick so it's like people come in
67
and they leave they might never come ever again so it's like
68
but COVID happened as soon as that happened as soon as I won
69
and that's where like everyone was on the internet that's where
70
everyone was on Twitch um I honestly started seeing hundreds of thousands almost instantly after I won
71
that it was like very quick
72
because it was like I had months where I was making 30,000 right after
73
that then it was like 40,000 then it'd be like 30,000
74
and then it'd be like 60,000
75
and then you get to quarter three quarter four of the year and it's like 70,000 a month, 80,000 a month.
76
And I remember Christmas, it was like 110.
77
And then this is before sponsors.
78
Like it was, it was quickly where I was making like a million in a year.
79
Like it was like off the bat almost.
80
And that's where I was like, I feel like it was like a blessing in disguise or was not taking that Facebook deal.
81
Cause it was like almost instantly after.
82
But I imagine going from someone that wasn't earning that much when you, you know, you were in your teens and whatnot, but I had a really good graphs of money.
83
And I think that has to do with my family like my mom
84
because i've seen my mom like work multiple jobs for me
85
and try to put up like food on the table etc
86
so like i never was the type to like spend like
87
when i first got when i got my first check the fifty thousand dollars
88
that i won from the 200 i offered it to her i actually wrote her a letter
89
and tried giving it to her she declined it um
90
and then i upgraded my computer so i could play better
91
and stream better um but i did buy a off-white jordan ones
92
that was my first how much did those cost those were like 3 000 at the time
93
but i still have them those were like my trophy
94
that was the only stupid thing i bought when i first made money
95
but everything else i kept like i remember seeing in my bank i'd look at my bank
96
and be like yo this has 47 000
97
and i'm like yeah i'm like 17 i'm like oh man
98
what about taxes you thinking about taxes filing how you at first i wasn't
99
because i was like 40 000 i was like i was like i'm gonna try to skip taxes okay
100
I did I paid my taxes I pay my taxes everything I paid more than what I owe just
101
because I love the government so I made the $50,000 and
102
when I made the $50,000 I would look at it
103
but I would never spend it like I'd always just let
104
it sit like I've always liked seeing money in my bank
105
which is stupid by the way you shouldn't have money in your bank
106
but I would always like seeing it and then
107
when like I started seeing like $50,000 come in like $100,000 come in
108
etc I would just I literally never spent money the only
109
thing I bought as soon as I made I think it was $300,000 dollars
110
which took me like four months five months i uh i bought the house
111
that my mom was living in i paid it off
112
and now i just let her have it so basically but
113
that house right now is from 300 000 now it's worth like half a million
114
so yeah when i'm ready to kick her out now
115
when i was doing research for this i've seen a lot of these videos like the rise
116
and fall yeah
117
and then the rise back up again what's it like having those videos made oh do you watch them i
118
if you know my story like this could be like a
119
30 minute just talk of just my story i a lot
120
of people i feel like respect me a little bit more than like a lot of people only
121
because i was like really high up like i peaked like
122
crazy during covid like everyone knew me on fortnight everyone knew
123
me on twitch in a sense like they just knew who i was
124
and i was seeing numbers
125
that I've never seen before like people were talking about me
126
like yo this guy's the new xqc the new biggest stream whatever it is
127
because I was averaging like 30,000 viewers out of nowhere then it'd be like 60,000 I mean like 70,000
128
which is insane on twitch that's like top 0001 that's like top five on twitch basically at the time
129
and then it just slowly started to decline over time
130
when covid went away when fortnite became less big and I also lost like hope in playing the game.
131
Like I got bored, I got depressed, et cetera.
132
I had a lot of happen to me in life.
133
And that's kind of where like flatlined.
134
And there's a website.
135
If you go, it's called Twitch tracker.
136
You can literally see it if you want.
137
And if you type my name and you could see the line go up and then down like crazy.
138
And then it went back up again.
139
Cause I was like, I gotta get up, you know what I'm saying?
140
But then how were you okay making, you know, like I'm guessing when you're averaging 60, 60,000 viewers, like you could be making hundreds of thousands of dollars per month.
141
And then you see that decline and then you see your revenue numbers.
142
I went for making around, I could probably, if I had a laptop, I could literally pull it up and show you.
143
I went for making, I would say an average of like 60 to like 120,000 a month, just on Twitch for like a good year and a half.
144
And then right as it started declining, it went from like 60 to 40 grand a month, then 20 grand a month, then 10 grand a month.
145
And then two like i had a month where i made
146
two grand a month like i just how are you okay
147
seeing those numbers i wasn't i wasn't i was i was
148
spending around i i lived in la at the time alone um
149
and obviously my numbers go down friends stop hitting you up
150
certain people like friends i thought i had like you know
151
aren't my real friends family like different type of thing past relationships you know what I'm saying?
152
There was a lot that happened, but I lived alone and I had my rent.
153
My rent was like $5,000 a month at the time.
154
Fuck Tolaria, by the way, in Burbank.
155
That place is $5,000 a month and I lived in a little square.
156
It was the worst shit ever.
157
I loved living there low key, but it was not worth it.
158
But I was paying like $5,000 a month and then my expenses, like when I would go shopping, I'd get to press shopping.
159
People do that or like buy food or whatever.
160
I was spending more than I was making a month.
161
So I was noticing a decline in my bank like really quick
162
and at the time i don't want to sound like out of touch
163
but like at the time i had like 160 grand 200 grand in my bank
164
but i was losing like 10 to 20 grand a month
165
so you see it just running so i was really i was running out
166
which is by the way i know that's a lot of
167
money that's that's that's a lot of money it's my fault
168
i lost the money i whatever right however this gets cut up
169
and they're like i'll be grateful um but no I would see money, I would see money start to go down.
170
And I'm like, I have texts with my mom, I was like, I was like, I don't know.
171
And then I literally just stopped spending money at all.
172
And I lived off like 160 grand, I barely moved anything for like, four months.
173
And I was like, I got to stream again, I got to do this again.
174
And I found love in streaming, though.
175
It was really fun.
176
I truly, like, it sounds corny, cliche, but like genuinely, like I never did it for money.
177
Like I genuinely liked streaming.
178
That was the craziest part.
179
Cause I always wanted to be an online entertainer.
180
So when I had the opportunity for it, I was like, oh, this is amazing.
181
This is everything I ever wanted.
182
That's why I really don't look about how much money I make now.
183
I know how much money I make now, but like, I don't, it doesn't phase me no more.
184
Like I, you'll have, people will go crazy
185
if like you make a hundred grand a month
186
and the next month make 90 oh i failed you know i'm saying
187
because it's like how did i not reach the same level
188
i don't care about how do you make sure you're not overspending i don't buy i don't buy a lot
189
so your defaults just don't spend it oh i don't i
190
don't buy a lot how much do you think you personally
191
spend per month oh i know how much i spend i
192
have my amex i like how much do you spend last month i spent 10 000 on my amex
193
which is a lot yes it's a lot it's actually not
194
that bad but i would take about for like business expenses too
195
so yeah not with business expenses but like i don't really count this
196
because it's a tax write-off sure yeah but like
197
so my employees i have someone who gets paid around like
198
5 000 i have my youtube editor who takes i think it's like 30 of my youtube
199
because he does the thumbnails he does the editing he does
200
the posting he finds the whatever it is um i have
201
my tick tock person who takes around like i think it's like 40 of my tick tock
202
because i just let him have it because it makes good money
203
and then i pay him on top of that but But business expenses, not including the percent, I only spend like 10K a month on like employees too.
204
So it's like if I have 10K a month employees, 10K a month, that's $20,000.
205
That's light compared to how much you're making.
206
Yeah.
207
Well, yeah, I would say so.
208
And it's, but it's also like tax related.
209
You know what I'm saying?
210
It's like, it is.
211
It's going to help you make more money.
212
I mean, we spend more than that on business expenses for the iced coffee hour per month.
213
Oh yeah.
214
Way more.
215
Oh my gosh.
216
Each episode when we like break down the cost to produce, it's way higher
217
and had you told me this like five years ago like
218
dude don't let's not do it the thing is there's certain days
219
or there's certain months we're like investing into content too like i i use
220
that on my amex but like most of
221
that money the 10 000 a month is from my content
222
like i really don't buy clothes at all like i don't
223
or i don't buy jewelry i don't buy none of
224
that stuff um
225
but the 10 000 like for instance like a good example
226
is i just did this elden ring thing i don't know
227
if you guys know elden ring is i played it last month
228
and i spent around like 30 to 40 000 no i
229
think it was 30,000 on building the set where I did only a white room where I couldn't leave the room.
230
It was just white where I couldn't leave the room until I beat Elden Ring.
231
And I put $30,000 into that, which is why people would be like, oh, you're investing $30,000 in the content.
232
That's kind of crazy.
233
But the return was like 80 to $90,000.
234
So I tripled for what I put in.
235
So it's like, it pays off for like what you do.

Obiettivi di parlato per questo clip
Questo video aiuta a migliorare la fluency nella conversazione informale, specialmente nella narrazione di storie personali e nel discorso tecnico legato al mondo dei streamer. Target: saper esprimere numeri, confronti di redditi e decisioni professionali con naturalezza, un obiettivo chiave per chi vuole comunicare in contesti lavorativi o sociali in inglese.
Banca di frasi riutilizzabili
- "It was called FNCS" (Si chiamava FNCS): Per presentare eventi o progetti specifici.
- "split for four people" (diviso tra quattro persone): Per parlare di ripartizione di somme di denaro.
- "average 100 viewers" (averare 100 spettatori): Termine comune nel mondo dei stream per indicare il numero medio di spettatori.

Correggi i tuoi punti deboli
Il dialogo contiene molti numeri e cifre (200.000 dollari, 17k a month), un punto critico per la pronuncia. La sfida è pronunciare correttamente "thousands", "millions" e le abbreviazioni come "k" (thousand) senza sbagliare l'accento. Per migliorare, usa la tecnica del shadow speak: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, imitando il tono e il ritmo. Un shadowing site può aiutarti a sincronizzare la tua voce con quella del speaker. Inoltre, la conversazione ha un flusso colloquiale con pause e ripetizioni ("I want to say", "like"), che è fondamentale per capire l'inglese parlato reale. Imparare l'inglese con YouTube, come in questo caso, ti fa familiarizzare con queste dinamiche. Pratica con frasi come "it was like 17k a month" per rendere il tuo discorso più naturale: la parola "like" non è superflua, ma serve a "morbire" l'espressione, un dettaglio che distingue un livello base da uno avanzato.
Con questi esercizi, il shadow speech diventerà un tool potente per rafforzare la tua pronuncia e fluency. Ricorda: la chiave è la costanza, anche 10 minuti al giorno con questo clip possono fare la differenza!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | i've seen · I've always liked · I've never seen |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | people who tried · someone who gets · person who takes |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
