Please share your thoughts about options for musicians to stream performances and generate a revenue stream. I'm on the board and webmaster for our local musicians association (montgomerymusicians.org) and would appreciate your thoughts/success stories/what worked and what didn't. For starters I'll throw out @chris ideas recently posted on the FM3 Now Shipping thread...
it's definitely the way to go. try it.
make a Twitch account for the biggest potential audience, but mostly young.
make a Mixer account for a smaller, but more dedicated audience, more age 30+ viewers in general.
YouTube is good for wide reach, but low interaction.
you can use restream.io to broadcast to all at once if you want, including integrated chat with their app.
all platforms support donations that can appear on your stream, with goal bars and other recent activity to inspire others to do so as well. StreamLabs is one of the best services for that. all free.
