This might sound like a crazy concept, but believe it or not, it's real. More average streamers will make roughly $250 in ad revenue per 100 subscribers or $3.50 per 1,000 views. The typical "expert" streamer makes between $3,000 and $5,000 per month by playing 40 hours a week. Setting up a donation link on stream is easy, which lets any of your viewers send you money to show their appreciation. The even better news is you don’t have to be a part of it to start cashing out. Just like YouTube, Twitch has a partner program to help its creators earn money. That doesn’t seem like much, but when channels can rake in 50 million views in a single month, it’s easy to see how quickly that can add up.
The typical payout is between $1 to $3 for every 1,000 views in the gaming space. Achieve 1,000 subscribers, and 4,000 hours of watch-time on your videos, and you can start placing ads on your content. Once you have the audience, it's time to start raking in the dough. It may take months of testing, but eventually, with diligent practice and changes, there’s a good chance of growing a small audience. Though this goal is very simple, the trouble is in finding the right formula. Today, children as young as 13 years old are creating massive communities through Twitch and YouTube, and there are more ways to monetize that audience than ever before.įirst, to grow the audience, you must post or stream consistently and make content that people crave watching. It’s no scientific formula, but in today’s online age it may as well be Newton’s 4th law. Today you’re going to find out how they did it, and if your child can do the same. However, you probably haven’t heard of the thousands of other teenagers that are making more money with gaming than they would with a full-time job. Whether it’s Fortnite World Cup Winner Bugha (Kyle Geirsdorf), who became a millionaire at 16, or Ninja (Richard Tyler Blevins) who has had a successful gaming career which he has kept up with for over a decade, you’ve already heard some of the success stories.
