(Note: This is not directed at OP, I just like yapping content. Flork is smart, Alien has a lot of experience to lean on and I know this post was mainly a funny teehee - BUUUUUT)
TL:DR;
Real talk, a LOT of work goes into setting up the framework of doing these to make doing them easier.
The framework might take days, weeks or months before getting into actual production, but the ease of making content pays that back (after x amount of time)
----
L:R;
Stream:
-----------
Plan, at least a little. Just figure out a game or theme for a bit, too much planning drains you, too little ends up being same-y (Ask me how i know)
-----------
Thumbnails:
-----------
Make a general template (Hardest part, need a couple themes. Game; Chatting; React; etc etc), figure out a "theme" that is YOUR channels thumbnails (helps any subs pick you out in the sidebar)
Assets for thumbnails that you can drag and drop (IE: X number of "VTuber reaction faces")
-----------
Make Content:
-----------
Pipeline matters. Stream the "content" -> turn the content into a long form -> pull shorts from the long form to advert it before it goes live. Compounding content creation is best, niche videos (Specials) matter, but a general flow matters.
Content Bonus: Don't over edit. Find what edit styles get views. Most of them are based around "As little editing as possible" because if the VIDEO is the content, not the editing, then you can get away with lighter editing (See chibidoki talking about doing 3 shorts a day lightly edited)
-----------
Collabs:
-----------
Recurring scheduled collab help drive the content. Micromanging kills brain the fastest, set it and forget it (as best you can, obviously things fall through (See anything DnD))
-----------
Make Projects:
-----------
... yeah there's no shortcut for this one. No matter what people tell you, passion and attention to detail MAKES projects memorable. This is the true time killer. Most things above can be streamlined, this? Nope. This needs care and passion.
