HOW CAN I MAKE MONEY ON TWITCH

 Making money on Twitch can be rewarding but requires consistent effort, engagement, and building a loyal community. Here’s a rundown of the main ways Twitch streamers make money

Twitch Affiliate and Partner Programs

Affiliate Program: Once you reach certain milestones (50 followers, 3 concurrent viewers, 500 minutes of streaming in 7 unique days over a 30-day period), you can become an Affiliate and unlock monetization features.

Partner Program: Partners have additional perks and can negotiate better revenue splits. You need a larger following and regular viewers to become a Partner, as it’s Twitch’s higher-tier program.

Subscriptions

Viewers can subscribe to your channel at various tiers, paying monthly fees. Affiliates and Partners earn a portion of the subscription fees (typically 50%) for each tier.

Prime members can subscribe to one channel per month for free with Twitch Prime, which also gives you a share.

Bits (Cheering)

Viewers can purchase Bits (Twitch’s virtual currency) and "cheer" in your chat. Each cheer earns you around $0.01 per bit. Bits can be used creatively in streams for interactive moments.

Donations

Many streamers accept donations through services like PayPal, Streamlabs, or Ko-fi. Donations give viewers a way to directly support you and contribute any amount they choose.

YouTube & Social Media

Repurpose Twitch content for YouTube or other social media to reach a broader audience. YouTube’s ad revenue can supplement your income, and directing new viewers to Twitch can help you grow faster.
