Posted on March 25, 2019

Did you know you can monetize your Twitch channel without being a Twitch affiliate as long as you're open to thinking outside the box a little?

Streaming is hard work, and we think that you deserve to earn something from all the time you put into your channel.

Keep reading to learn about these simple, yet untraditional, ways to monetize your Twitch channel.

Way #1

1. Join an affiliate program

To monetize your Twitch channel without being an actual Twitch affiliate, you can still use affiliate links on your channel.

Affiliate links work by paying you a commission when viewers click on one of the links on your channel and purchase an item. Try to choose sponsors who relate to your stream content to increase the likelihood of sales.

Way #2

2. Join Callmart

If you want to monetize the spare time that isn't dedicated to your Twitch channel, check out the new Callmart app.

The Callmart platform will connect you with your channel viewers on a one-to-one basis so they can have a chat with you or maybe get streaming advice. They just have to pay a fee you set for the time spent talking.

Way #3

3. Join PayPal

Setting up a donation page through PayPal is one of the most common ways smaller channels manage to monetize their Twitch channels.

Tip: A good way to encourage donations is to set donation goals. For example, if you reach your first $100 you'll do a 12-hour stream. Fun!
