God, I hope you're trolling.

But as a reference point:
If you need $2,000 worth of stuff, and earn revenues of $150 per year, and you expect someone to give you said $2,000 for 10% of your revenue, then the investor would break even (ignoring inflation) in 133.3 years.

By way of comparison, a venture capitalist normally needs to be able to see a 10x return in 5 years to make the deal acceptable.

You need to work on those "resume" skills OP. You haven't said anything that makes me want to "hire" you. Also if you were actually serious put up a kickstarter.

Also you are probably underage b& because adults can afford to build a gaming computer and necessary peripherals.

wait, why do you think you need a video capture card to capture the stream from a game playing on a pc? You can just do that with free software.
the only reason you would need a capture card is to record from and EXTERNAL source like a gaming console.

You laugh, but actually Youtube is a lucrative area of business if you know what you're doing. The money is more in operating within the networks that own channels, though, and that's only if you can get involved with a large network that owns a lot of channels.

OP doesn't have potential, though. The "Let's Play" thing has gotten huge due to a trick of Google's SEO systems, where if a video was watched for longer it was more likely to be promoted at the top of all search results. This meant that "Let's Play" videos, which are more easily produced than, say, an original cartoon, are watched for a full half hour and were more likely to be promoted.

However, the days of taking advantage of that system has passed. "Let's Plays" have saturated the site and are the single greatest contributor to bandwidth on Youtube, which is why it's become so attractive for Google to use Content ID to seize revenue on those videos.

I mean, I could genuinely go on about the money and business aspects of operating a network or channel on Youtube, but I don't know if anyone is interested since both unstable and a creative market that hasn't yet been locked into a static business model.

The lack of static model is the reason it's growing so fast and attracting so many people, but to investors it's incredibly risky and I wouldn't advise unless you're getting an advertising deal from someone who already has a good viewership base.

Why do you need a $2000 PC to start LPing. I did a few let's plays back when o was in highschool playing emulated games. My equipment? A dell dimension 2600 my parents gave me. Had a pentium 4 and geforce 6300 (if I remember correctly). It couldnt play the latest games, so I played emulated SNES and gameboy games. I found the shittiest $5 mic and starting screen capturing.

You dont need expensive anything to get started in most businesses, especially in LPing, the barrier of entry is extremely low. If your serious try playing a game from your childhood on your laptop, which can most definitely handle something from the 90s/early 2000's. Before you come begging, really make sure you have what it takes.

Also if you're wondering, I don't LP anymore, its not worth the work for the money you get, and it takes forever to get even to like 100subs. It might be worth the effort of you really like it and don't care about the money (obviously not you), but that time could be spent working a real job, with real pay.

TL;DR? You dont need a $2k gayman machine to make shitty gaming videos, LPing is time consuming, its hard to gain a YouTube following in a short period of time, and YouTube is not very profitable until you reach pewdiepie levels.

If OP was serious he would post a video of what he's capable of, then reasons why having a new PC would improve his content.

Looks like he wants this PC just to even get started, meaning he has no drive, and no potential. He just wants a new PC to play games all day on while not working
