When I was younger, my mom would frequently remind me that I couldn’t play video games forever. She wasn’t trying to be a killjoy, back in the 80’s and 90’s, she was right. You couldn’t make money playing video gameseven if you were one of the very best. But it’s different today. Not only can you make money playing video games, you don’t even have to be particularly good at it. There are people who make thousands of dollars streaming their playing sessions on Twitch and uploading their games on Youtube.
Being a professional game streamer is a real way of turning your passion into profit. But how can one make a living by just sitting in front of a machine and playing video games all day long? This is the most lucrative source of income that works perfectly for most streamers. Compared to all other sources, this is the easiest way to make money as a streamer. No wonder most streamers offer mod privileges, exclusive emotes, and personal shout-outs for those willing to make donations to their channel. It makes the streamer a few dollars. However, partnered streamers can trigger ads at any point in their stream, and they make more money from this if they simultaneous viewership. The figure is quite impressive, right? To be legible for subscriptions, you must apply for a Twitch partnership. And for you to become a partner, you must have viewers per stream or , YouTube subscribers. The entry bar is set this high since Twitch keeps a good percentage of revenues earned through subscriptions. Therefore, Twitch earns more revenue from streamers with a higher number of subscribers. The amount a streamer can earn through subscriptions varies depending on the traffic their channel has. While you can make millions as a Twitch streamer, it takes patience and hard work to get there.

Donations are basically tips, and virtually all of that money minus any associated PayPal or other credit card processing fees goes to streamers. Many creators incentivize donations. For example, Wang mentions some creators give out their private Snapchat account to people who donate a specific amount. A good freebie for viewers, and one that pays Twitch streamers, too.
Twitch drafts an individualized contract with each partnered streamer defining their personal rates and rewards. Sponsored appearances are also mentioned, and you guys can probably remember at least a few tournaments or events where someone like Ninja was said to make an appearance or compete.

Have you ever wondered how much money Twitch streamers make, or wondered how they make any money at all? I mean, can anyone just sit in front of a camera, play video games all day, and make a living?
How does anyone get started in a job like that, and what are they doing to ensure that they bring in an income strea,ers can actually live off of? In the West it’s still a bit taboo to talk about your income, but one prominent Twitch streamer decided to offer viewers an inside look at how he makes money streaming. DisguisedToast has been featured multiple times as one of Twitch’s most-viewed streamers, and is more than qualified to educate us about how a professional streamer makes his or her money.
The video begins by breaking down income into four basic categories, two of which we’re sure you could have guessed. The four main sources of income for any streamer are: Donations, subscriptions, ads, and sponsorships. Donations seem like the most lucrative source of income if not the most instantly gratifyingand it works exactly like you think it. Twitch viewers have the option to whip out their credit card or PayPal infoand make a twotch donation to the streamer at any time.
Twitch may take a very small cut of that donation, but the majority of the money goes right ohw the streamer’s pocket. This is why you see streamers offering mod privileges, exclusive emotes, and personal shout-outs to people willing to donate to their channel. That’s pretty hard to believe, but then again, he doesn’t offer those incentives for viewers to donate. When you consider that some streamers give moneu SnapChat account access and personal streams in exchange for donations, it’s easy to imagine how this number could skyrocket.
This is the thing that most viewers hate for some reason, even though an ad may only take up 30 seconds of their time on the longer end. A short ad is served when you open up a stream, and that makes the streamer a small bit of money, but partnered streamers have the privilege of triggering ads at any point during their stream which, if they have a large concurrent viewership, can make them much more money — especially if they do it multiple times per stream. That’s pretty impressive, and now you know why all of your favorite websites as you to turn off your dtreamers.
It really does provide the foundational, funding lifeblood of a content provider. According to DisguisedToast, racking up subscriptions is the best way to really rack up kake serious cash. We focus on Ninja for a moment, who has aboutpublicly disclosed subscribers.
Sponsorships come in all shapes and sizes, but as a basic example, we’re imagining a company like EA paying top streamers to stream Battlefield V. When a popular streamer hosts a sponsored stream, EA will pay out anywhere from one cent to one dollar, per viewer, per hour. Sponsored appearances are also smmall, and you guys can probably remember at least a few tournaments or events where someone like Ninja was said to make an appearance or compete. So how much does a streamer like DisguisedToast make when it’s all said and done?
At the mark, he begins to break it all. For an established streamer who considers himself in the «mid-range» when it comes to high viewership, this is a pretty mind-blowing income. But it’s also a lot of work. Hopefully you can tell from viewing the video that earning money playing video games isn’t just about playing video games. It’s about running a business, and maintaining a community of fans for years. The hours are long and irregular, and consistency is king.
If you’re capable, and patient, there’s a fat 6-orfigure salary in it for you. Remember me on this device Login. Register — Forgot Password.
