For female streamers today, income doesn’t just come from platform salaries but heavily relies on outside sources, especially viewer donations. Big names sometimes pull in donations worth hundreds of millions of VND, which surprises many. But not everyone is that lucky. Sometimes, after streaming for hours, a streamer might only get about 100 yuan, roughly 300,000 VND, like the streamer in this story.
White Snake isn’t a very famous name but has gained some attention thanks to her cute face and decent figure. However, she hasn’t really capitalized on her advantages. Instead of fully committing to streaming, her streaming schedule is irregular, which is crucial for anyone in this field. Although she once ranked among the top 30 notable streamers, streaming only seven days over two months meant White Snake quickly faded from the spotlight.
Naturally, her interaction numbers dropped. In her most recent stream, even though she started early and tried various tricks and skills to entertain viewers, she struggled to get donations. Over three hours, White Snake only received about 100 yuan, around 300,000 VND. She even lamented, “Maybe if I worked as a waitress, my tips would be way higher than the donations I got in those three hours.”
It’s hard to deny that while her frustration is understandable, her comment hits the truth. At least White Snake still has viewers when she streams, and whether the donations are big or small, if she focused and committed more, her fans might not have turned away like they have.
