This is a YouTube teaching channel. You show hobby groups how to teach games by playing them well, as a repeating series (playthroughs). You get paid when people watch (ads, once the channel qualifies), join as members, click affiliate links, or buy a small guide you wrote. A normal week is shoot, edit, publish a title that states the result, and answer comments. Plan on dozens of videos before this pays rent. A clear lesson beats lifestyle footage.
YouTube Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours before ads. A phone is enough; a lav + tripod is typically $40–80. First ad dollar is commonly 6–18 months (YouTube Help / Creator Academy).
Each required material has a matching shop listing — photo, price, and a way to add it to the cart.
Overhead cam
Overhead camera arm
A clamp-on arm that holds a phone or compact camera over a bench, stove, or desk. For overhead and bench angles — not a full jib.
Mics
Dynamic microphone
A handheld dynamic mic (XLR) that forgives a noisy room. Includes a clip and a 10-foot cable. This is a microphone, not a USB headset.
Public examples matched to this path by what they actually publish — not endorsements, and not a claim they run this exact shop. Handles change. Verify before you write to anyone.
Watch It Played
Rodney Smith teaches board games by playing them clearly, from a table at home.
