How to get influence on Sub Twitch?
Launched in 2011 and bought by the manager of Amazon in 2014, the “Twitch” streaming platform began by hosting live gaming videos. Today, in addition to video games, it hosts content in several areas (cooking, beauty, travel, etc.), always live.
People who broadcast “streams” on this platform are called “streamers”. The content is broadcast live allowing real-time interaction with subscribers or commonly referred to as “subs”.
How Twitch works
Once your Twitch account is created, you have the option to broadcast your content on the platform . The streamer will broadcast their content live. Depending on the type of content, the streamer will have the option of filming themselves or sharing the content of their screen (for video game streams). Several elements can also be added to the streamer’s screen such as the chat bar, the number of sub twitch (followers) as well as a capture of the streamer in addition to the screenshot of his screen.
Anyone can watch a streamer’s content with or without a subscription . The advantage of being a subscriber is that you will be notified of each new broadcast from the streamer, but you will also have access to several contents (access to chat, acquisition of specific emotes, etc.).
Make money on Twitch
This is where the role of the Twitch sub comes into play ! You are probably asking yourself the question: how much does a sub twitch make?
The streamer has the option of receiving money monetized in bits (with 100 bits equaling €1). The streamer gets a percentage of earnings against the subscription fee.
The earnings ratio for the streamer and for the Twitch platform depends on the contract between the two parties . When a streamer fulfills certain conditions defined by the platform, Twitch submits an agreement to them, which defines a sharing of earnings for each sub subscriber to the streamer’s channel.
For novice streamers, the ratio is usually 70%-30% for platform and streamer respectively. The more the streamer becomes influential and his community of subs increases, the more it is possible for him to negotiate the winning rate to his advantage to go to a winning rate of 50% or even 70% for the streamer
For some streamers whose notoriety is very high with a very high number of subs, the negotiation can even go to a gain of 100% in favor of the streamer. Of course, this type of agreement is not very common and remains rare.
A bit of history on the principle of “subscribers”
In its beta version in 2011, the Twitch platform called at the time Justin.tv had met with great success from the first months, obtaining no less than 35 million visits per month . The platform then decides to add the “subscribe” functionality with the aim of attracting more and more streamers who will have the possibility of managing their income according to the number of visitors to their channel and acquire a percentage of the streamer’s earnings.
When a person subscribes to your Twitch channel, he receives a subscriber badge (sub twitch badge) which is found next to his name during discussions on your chat group.
The different types of subs
There are many types of subs on the platform, offering various functionalities depending on the type of subscription taken out, with a higher or lower gain contribution for the streamer. The different types of subs are:
- Rank 1;
- Rank 2;
- Rank 3;
- Twitch Prime.
Tier 1 is a $4.99 per month subscription, providing basic, streamer-defined perks.
Rank 2 is a subscription of €9.99 per month generally granting more advantages than rank 1.
Rank 3 is a subscription of €24.99 per month. This rank is higher than the others and often grants the greatest benefits.
As for Twitch Prime , you have the possibility with your Amazon Prime account to access a subscription to one streamer per month. This account offers the same advantages as a Rank 1 subscription. Today, to be able to display the “subscribe” feature on his channel, a streamer must fulfill a certain number of conditions allowing him to sign a subscription contract. “Twitch Partner”.
