It’s been one year now of being a full time content creator and Twitch Streamer. I still can’t believe it and can’t thank everyone enough that has been supporting me throughout. You are helping me achieve some amazing things. Hopefully you read about it at the start of the year when I post about my goals for 2019.

Quick update, I still love editing videos and most recently I have discovered I love reacting to trailers with you all. Oh! And my channel passed a major milestone! Over 1 million views, I can’t freaking believe it! Which leads me to today’s announcements.

YouTube Memberships

I am launching a membership feature over on YouTube. Content will always be free to everyone but for those that want to subscribe, they will get perks. Badges, emotes, member only posts and polls to help me decide what kind of content to make, and member only livestream each month.

Check out the infographic for all the details or watch the video below.

Amazon Storefront

The second part of my announcements is all about my Amazon store. I get asked where I got my collectibles or what kind of equipment I’m using on my streams often. So I decide to team up with Amazon and list out all the items you see on my Twitch streams in one area that makes it easier for anyone to checkout. Collectibles, games, equipement, it’s all there and I plan on updating them as I add things to my collection throughout the year.

Full disclosure: I will get a kickback if you buy anything from my store front. Any little bit helps when you start a business from scratch, hope that’s understandable.

The Olash Literature Club

Finally, I previously tried launching a book club for my Twitch subscribers with mixed results. I’m still glad I tried it though because I learned a lot. For book club 2.0 aka The Olash Literature Club, I decided to make it as easy as possible for anyone to join. First of all, any book selected for the month will be very manageable to enjoy over a 30 day period. I’ll post a link to the book of the month at the start of each month. Anyone can join in and start reading. At the end of the month, I’ll post on social media asking for your thoughts on the book. You can send me tweets, IG comments, or even video responses on YouTube. (Think of it as a digital support group to encourage us all to read something each month.)

The books will vary in style and even include graphic novels from some of the best all-time comic book collections of stories from DC, Marvel, and independent comics.

Anyone who happens to be a YouTube member or Twitch subscriber, will get access to discuss the book over a live stream (YouTube Member perk) or Discord voice chat (Twitch subscriber perk). Basically, anyone can join in and get a voice in the conversation with YouTube/Twitch subscribers getting a bit more access to go over the book selection each month.

Building an online community has been unexpectedly awesome and I hope you are excited to be a part of it, that is if you are already a part of it. If you aren’t already involved I hope you consider joining up. I’ll see you around regardless.
