We’re fairly new to the marketplace of content creation. But beyond that, MangoStreamsz is an actual business, hence, MangoStreamsz, LLC. As such, we’re expect to build product and a brand that would be attractive to our viewers. We know what people like, but we have to be patient in giving them all of it. There are three things we are building: our 1) online brand, 2) digital products, and 3) physical products. Technically, we should be building our online presence, but we are savoring that for last. Even so, our online brand—our logo, banner, website, etc.—is excellent due to our graphic designer, and is nearing its completion. For our digital products—our emotes, our badges, our overlay, etc.—are again, excellent due to our graphic designer, and those will continue to be built. Finally, our physical products—our shirts, hoodies, hats, etc. for sale and our personal equipment like our PC, monitors, camera, microphone, etc.—will also continue being expanded overtime. The manner in which this gets done is good ole’ savings. My business partner and I work jobs and put money to the side for our business expenditures. It really helps to have another helping hand in this, especially if you’re both devoted to taking extreme measures to get hefty price-tag items out the way.
When you’re getting paid every 2 weeks, discipline takes a whole new meaning. This is because you have to be insanely patience—it’ll drive you to strong levels of frustration, but when you see your patience and diligence translate to purchases you’ve been waiting months to get, you start to appreciate the distance you’ve traveled a bit more. Admittedly, my business partner and I were working insane hours over the months. For instance, this past summer of 2024, we had to work 9 hours during the day, and 4 hours in the night. So, most of our day was dedicated to working than it was relaxing and sleeping. And then of course, when we got paid, we took extremely large checks and dumped them close to $0 because we didn’t feel like waiting another 2 weeks to get more items for our business. As for eating, we cooked the most basic foods. Eggs, grits, and bacon every morning, and spaghetti and meatballs or chicken, rice, and instant mac-and-cheese in the later night. Is this worth it? Well, when you care about something enough, you’ll do anything to make sure it’s well.
