How to Become a VTuber
Why is it so hard to make money in today’s social media economy? At first, I really considered writing this article for the sole purpose of getting my name out there.
After all, there are countless articles out there for small business people, but this one has to be the most important and, I’m sure, the most difficult to write.
In fact, you don’t have to be a business owner or a marketer to start a successful business, but you do have to start small if you’re going to have a shot at success because you never know where the market will take you. This article isn’t about making money, though. It’s about making a living at making money. To set the stage, I am here today to ask you to consider three important questions. Are you tired of being a part-time social media marketer or business owner, but having a hard time making ends meet? Are you thinking about jumping in and making a full-time social media enterprise? Are you curious about becoming a “vTuber”? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then you’ve reached the perfect goal in today’s social media economy. The best part? You already have the foundation to succeed by becoming a vTuber.
If you haven’t seen a video or article talking about how to become a vTuber, then you should check out this very helpful guide to becoming a vTuber. To recap, this article will explain how to earn money monetizing vlogs (short for video blogging) and other social media tools like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Tumblr. In particular, I will walk you through my 3-step approach towards becoming a vTuber, and show you how to start with as little as $1 to $10 a month to get your first video or to increase your subscriber count to 100 or more by the end of your first month. I’ve personally managed to grow my channel from one to three to 40 subscribers and $120 per month in one year, and I still have one video on Patreon (which I’ll reveal more about in the coming weeks) that I’ll give you the opportunity to see. Not only that, but I’ll show you how to be a master social media marketer (and how to network with some awesome people in the industry) and how to reach your personal goals (like my $5000 a month in 3 months). I’ve been blogging for almost 10 years now, but I was actually first exposed to blogging when someone in my office recommended it as a new “thing” and started giving me these crazy tips on how to start and make money blogging in the first place. After the tip-off and a bit of research, my interest was piqued. I started with just one blog about an interesting topic, and after about a month of writing about things from my personal experience, my follower count surged into the hundreds.
What tools are required to become a VTuber?
- 1Purchase a high-quality PC with high-speed internet access. This is essential regardless of the type of material you’re producing. In general, you’ll want a more recent desktop PC with at least 8 GB of RAM. A laptop will also work, although it will be slightly slower due to the software required for VTube.
- A motion-tracking webcam is required. Choose a camera that can identify your face and transform it into an avatar’s expressions. A good camera like this may be found for around $100, such as the Logitech Pro or the Microsoft LifeCam.
- If you wish, you may subsequently upgrade to a VR setup. When you initially start out, it is not required to track all of your motions (such as your hands, legs, and feet). If you ever want to update your avatar to a full-body one, you should think about acquiring a VR, or virtual reality, setup. A good VR headset may be had for approximately $400.
Which VTube software should I use?
Among the most popular are Facerig, Luppet, VSeeFace, and VTube Studio.
The majority of these programs are available for both Windows and Mac.
Some will assist you in creating an avatar, while others will only capture motion and broadcast your character.
Wakaru, 3tene, and Puppemoji are other viable alternatives.
The majority of these websites charge a monthly or one-time download cost.
The cost varies significantly depending on which one you use, but you should budget approximately $100 for your program.
What is the cost of becoming a VTuber?
Estimate: Expect to pay between $300 and $1,000.
It’s hard to precisely predict the costs since you need to consider the specifics of your situation, such as what you already own and how much you want to enhance your avatar and equipment.
At the very least, you’ll need to pay at least several hundred dollars for a new webcam and a tool that enables 3D mode creation.
Although you only have a restricted amount of equipment to begin with, you can begin as a VTuber.
The longer you’re in the industry, the better you grow, which allows you to raise your level of comfort.
How can I make a 3D model?
- Create your own in a web-based studio. If you wish to make changes to your model, use a software like Blender or Pixiv. You may design a model from start in these studios, sculpting the face characteristics, physique, and clothing items on your own. Both Blender and Pixiv offer free versions, although they are quite limited in what they allow you to accomplish. If you wish to upgrade your account, you can do so for a monthly charge of about $5.
- To make one of you, commission an artist. If you’re not too artistic, attempt to build a model for yourself with an animator or a Photoshop specialist. Search for an artist on Twitter or Google in the community through the “3D Model Commission.” The rates vary, but you may expect a commission to spend between $50 and $100.
Could you be a mobile VTuber?
Yes, provided you install VTube Studio.
This software allows you to easily upload your 2D model to your phone and track your face movements. Keep in mind, however, that it does not currently support 3D models.
