As most successful people in life will tell you, it's not about the Quantity, but the Quality of what you do that matters. You can put out 3 – 4 episodes a day of good quality content, as long as you're playing 10+ hours per day. Let's face it, how many of us are really playing that much? Most of us have work and jobs to do.
However, just like CaptainSparklez, you too can have that success. When you put out the quality that people love to see, then you'll also be a success, it's only a matter of time. Of course, you have the few that get lucky with a leg up, but it's all about being in the right place, right time, and asking the right questions. If you never ask, the answer will always be no.
So, if you're thinking about getting into the YouTube part of gaming...Just Do It. Remember, it does not matter what kind of equipment that you have. If you can produce half way decent video content, then what you have will suffice. If you're videos are all full of lag, chances are, you're not producing quality video content. If that's the case, you'll want to upgrade your PC a bit before you can game or get a Console. Some prefer the Console, others prefer PCs.
If there is one thing that you can take away from CaptainSparklez, it's that...Massive daily action, quality content, and time really are the keys to your success. It helps to be knowledgeable in the area you plan on working in too. So go out there, take massive action, produce quality content, and become a Leader today.
Success comes to those who take massive action and put forth the daily grind. Don't put off what you could do today for tomorrow.
