Making Money With Twitch
If you've completed the Basic setup, and you have some consistent viewership every time you stream, you should start thinking about making money through your streams.
Sadly Twitch only offers partnerships to streamers that get 500+ views at a time and reaching that number when you just start streaming is hard unless you're already popular on YouTube or a famous gamer. (To find more info on Twitch policies go here.)

So if you can sign up for Twitch partner, good job! You're on the way to earning a lot of money with Twitch as you will be able to choose when to play ads, get part of the ad revenue, and your followers will have the ability to subscribe to you! However, even if you're a partner you might benefit from some other money-making ways. And if you're not a partner you will only be able to make money with the ways below.
- Become an affiliate at Amazon, g2a.com, or Razer, and put those links as panels below your stream. If you have dedicated viewers, or viewers that buy a lot of games you will get some money from that! Get more information on this on the Affiliate page!
- Create a PayPal Donate button and put it below your stream, or use StreamTip and create a panel for it to accept donations and get live notifications in your stream about the donations.
