How to Use Twitch, Connect, and Make Money on It
In the age of technology, Twitch has become one of the largest platforms where people share video games, content creation, and other live activities. If you like games, talking to people, or doing creative activities like drawing or music, Twitch is an ideal place for you to express yourself and even make money. Here’s how it works and how you can get started on Twitch.
What is Twitch?
Twitch is a live video platform that allows people to make live broadcasts where they play games, make art, talk about various topics, or show off their knowledge in various fields. Viewers can interact with the streamer through chat, and support him or her through subscriptions, donations, or buying special badges.
How to Connect and Create Your Account on Twitch?
The first step is to create an account on the Twitch.tv website or mobile applications. You need an email and a password. Once you have an account, you can customize your profile: add a profile picture, write a short description of what you like to do, and connect your account to other social networks if you want.
How to Make Money on Twitch?
There are several ways you can start earning money on Twitch:
Become a Twitch Partner or Affiliate
Affiliate: Twitch offers an Affiliate program for people with a growing community. To qualify, you must have at least 50 subscribers, a minimum of 500 minutes of watch time in 30 days, and a minimum of 7 active days streaming during that month. When you become an Affiliate, you can earn money from subscriptions (monthly subscriptions), donations (Bits), and some advertising.
Partner: This is the highest level, where Twitch supports you more, you get more tools, and the best chance of making more money. To become a Partner, you must have a large number of subscribers and consistent traffic, and Twitch will review your channel.
- Subscriptions
By becoming an Affiliate or Partner, you can allow people to subscribe to your channel. These subscriptions can cost $4.99, $9.99, or $24.99 per month, and you receive a portion of what people pay. Subscriptions give your supporters special benefits like personalized emojis, no ads, or access to private chat.
- Donations and Bits
You can encourage your followers to donate directly through third-party services like PayPal or the Twitch Bits platform. Bits are Twitch’s virtual currency that users buy and send as a way to support streamers.
- Ads
As an Affiliate or Partner, you can place ads on your videos. You earn money every time people watch these ads during your stream. - Sponsorships and Products
- If you become popular, you can get deals with companies that want to promote their products through you. You can advertise, give out discount codes, or sell your own merchandise.
How Many Subscribers Do You Need to Start Making Money?
To earn money through the Twitch Affiliate program, you need at least 50 active subscribers and meet other requirements (minimum hours of streaming, number of days of streaming). It is possible to start making money even with a small community, but it takes patience and consistency.
Who Can Make the Most Money on Twitch?
People who make the most money on Twitch are those who:
- Have an active community that keeps coming back to their channel.
- Create interesting and original content that keeps viewers engaged.
- Collaborate with other creators to grow their audience.
