Twitch is a video streaming service with tons of interesting content. At the same time, you can not only watch live broadcasts on it, but also create them, thereby making money for yourself. There are 5 main ways to make money on Twitch.
Inline ads
Twitch offers the opportunity to earn money for aspiring steamers through in-app ads. To receive an affiliate program, you must fulfill several conditions of service. For a month, the user must conduct live broadcasts, the total duration of which will be at least 25 hours. In this case, the broadcasts should be held on 12 different days, and the average number of viewers should be 75 people.
In 2020, for 1000 impressions of advertising videos, a streamer can get about 3.4 US dollars in the Russian segment, which is quite a lot, if we take into account the streaming service from YouTube, where the cost of 1000 impressions will cost almost three times less.
Paid subscriptions
As an additional income, a streamer can connect a package of paid subscriptions, adjusting the cost for them on their own. Users wishing to support the blogger can subscribe to this subscription.
The streamer, as a rule, creates separate rewards for such - additional packs with stickers, a separate chat only with sponsors, the ability to review old broadcasts, and so on. But the most important privilege for the viewer is the absence of lengthy ads during the live broadcast, which should not be missed.
Donat
A system in which any interested user can transfer a certain amount of money to a streamer through an additional program, having previously written a request or a question. During the broadcast, the text along with the invented nickname will be displayed on the screen, and the streamer will be able to respond to it.
For the blogger himself, you need to connect additional programs - DonationAlerts, DonatePay, and so on.
Direct advertisers
It's not uncommon to see sponsor logos at the bottom or top of the screen on a streamer's screen. This is the result of collaboration with direct advertisers. They are very easy to find when broadcasting on a specific topic, such as a video game. Then you can advertise various additions to it, or accessories.
Sometimes advertisers bring a product for a streamer to advertise on a live stream, and this can also bring in a good amount of money.
Sale of goods
If the image of a Twitch channel has become recognizable among users, creates a positive impression and generally enjoys a good reputation, then its owner can start selling products with the channel's logo. It can be anything: mugs or clothes. And the more creative the approach to creating a thing that reminds the user of the channel, the more actively they will purchase these products.
