My primary reason for streaming is for the community. I enjoy sharing with others and passing on what I know, and the knowledge and company I get in return is incredible.
While a majority of my business income comes from the sales of my creations, I appreciate even the consideration of monetary support as I strive to stream as much of my time in the shop as possible! As all streamers know it takes much longer to complete projects live :)
Before I had my own website and corresponding store, I started on Etsy! Etsy has been a great place for me to explore selling while not putting a lot of time into web design. Now we've got web design under control and you can see our newly launched store at timberbymarc.com! I plan on keeping my Etsy site up for a few more months mainly to help direct people to my site.
