DidTheTango and how they help streamers get started

In the world of gaming, many people would like to make it a full-time job. Nothing sounds better than getting paid to lay waste to virtual enemies and sometimes other players. Gamer Manager, DidTheTango, of Tango Smash Gaming has decided to share a few of her secrets on getting real, and quick followers like she did for her client, TigerShark, who was Twitch affiliated and at over 600 followers in less than a year.

DidTheTango was no stranger to the world of gaming. She remembers the time her father played pong with her on an Atari, and then the memories of her mother playing Frogger on a computer. It was no surprise when she decided to play video games for entertainment instead of shopping the latest fashion trends.

She found a true love for gaming when she realized she could play online with her friends in games like Halo:Reach, a sci-fi first person shooter by the company Bungie. She followed the company's work and landed in the virtual landscape called "The Cosmodrome" of Destiny's first Beta. It was during her years with this game that she learned gamers were taking things to the next level and making money doing what they loved.

in 2017, she and her partner formed a gaming clan for the launch of Destiny 2 that would spark her passion for not just the game but for what video games can create among the communities. Today, she no longer streams but instead tries to dedicate her time to helping small streamers reach their own goals.

Her gaming clan, Tango Smash Gaming, was turned into a brand dedicated to helping others reach their goals in the streaming world. This started with a private program, The Small Streamer Program, that helped a local gamer find his way through the waves of Twitch and Social Media.

TigerShark followed the program to a T, and has since gotten 600+ followers on Instagram, 118 followers on Twitch, Twitch Affiliated, partnered with other brands, and is making money for playing video games in less than 6 months. I've managed to contact DidTheTango and ask her a few questions about how to helped him reach these goals and how she can help others achieve the same thing.

DidTheTango explains that she knew TigerShark personally, as he was the one who introduced her to Destiny in the first place. When he wanted to start streaming and making money to give to charity, he approached her and asked for her help since she had experience with it. "I wanted to help him," she states, "not just because he had a good reason to do so, but because he's the reason I enjoy gaming again."

She had him create an instagram, taking him step by step through the process of making a business account so that he could better understand his audience as it grew. From there, he created a Twitch account and linked the two together. The foundation was laid, and now it was time for TigerShark to begin building his fanbase.

"Tiger literally had zero following when he started. I told him it was going to be hard work and at times it would start to feel like a chore." She continued to encourage him, to the point she became his official Manager and opened up the doors to a new opportunity.

"The biggest issue with small time gamers is they don't post every day. In order for you to keep followers and gain new ones, you have to give them something to follow." DidTheTango explains that ensuring you have something to post everyday will ensure you have followers. She talks about how most small time streamers only have so many hours a week they can dedicate to streaming, so a Social Media account is vital for a steady fanbase.

"I always suggest Instagram. There are many gamers on the platform and many ways for you to get more personal with your followers. People want to feel like they could be close to you, and Instagram offers that kind of atmosphere unlike many other Social Media platforms."

DidTheTango continues to say that Instagram offers followers the chance to see an image or a video more readily than other platforms. You're more likely to share your screenshots or clips anyway, so you might as well use a platform more dedicated to that type of media.

"I personally have resources and guides that TigerShark uses to have content everyday. He has access to a private, TSG (Tango Smash Gaming) resource folder that has almost everything he would need to make a social media post." DidTheTango says that all streamers that she manages will have access to these resources, however her bigger guides are still in the works.

"I'm currently working on a manual of sorts to offer gamers the chance to see what I'm doing with TigerShark and why it's working. It's full of all sorts of tips and resources that every gamer would need if they want to make money from playing video games."

When asked about her goals, she seemed a bit conflicted about it. "I honestly don't know. I would love to help gamers as a manager or start this business full-time, but I also want to finish college and become a teacher. I know whatever I end up doing, I'll enjoy what I do."
