If you want to grow as a breaker, you have to build an online presence. There’s no way around it. Just ripping fire on a livestream isn’t enough if nobody knows you exist. You need to be active where the hobby lives: social media and video platforms.
Start simple. YouTube and Facebook are still huge for breakers. Posting videos of your hits, live-streaming your breaks, showing off upcoming products…it all helps. Instagram is also great for quick card pics, reels, and short clips that grab attention. TikTok? Honestly, if you’re comfortable being on camera, it’s gold right now for reaching new people fast.
Consistency is the real secret sauce here. You don’t need crazy expensive equipment or a full studio setup (at least not right away), but you do need to show up regularly. Post something a few times a week. Share your breaks, your big hits, maybe even some behind-the-scenes stuff like prepping cards for shipping. Let people feel like they’re part of your world.
And branding matters too. You want people to recognize you quickly. Pick a good name, design a clean logo, and keep your look and vibe consistent across all your platforms. It makes you look more legit, and trust is everything in this hobby. Especially because, let’s be real, there are a lot of shady sellers out there. Buyers want to feel confident that if they send you money, you’re gonna deliver.
Also, don’t just shout at people about your breaks 24/7. Engage with your followers. Comment on their posts. Reply to messages. Thank them for joining your breaks. Building a community is way more powerful than just trying to sell spots all the time. People don’t just buy cards. They buy into personalities, into feeling like part of something.
Bottom line: showing up consistently, putting out good content, and building real relationships online will set you apart from the thousands of other people trying to do the same thing.
