I don't know much but if the company is making money when you aren't in whatever they are offering you, you shouldn't be taking that. Also make sure you have other people look over that contract. You probably shouldn't go the sponsors and ask them, you don't need sponsors to be a legit streamer or to afford rent if you annoy them they might put you on some sort of blacklist, etc. You should let them contact you. The reason he doesn't have a video on finding sponsors and the like is because its a bad idea for you to contact them. If you are really struggling with the rent make a youtube to get extra income and also get a job, (it can be something like Harris mentioned in the video) even if it cuts into your stream time (streaming constantly won't help you get viewers most of the time, let alone make a financial impact.) Also I don't know if this will make an impact, but maybe give value to subbing or donating, like adding TTS (text-to-speech) for certain amounts of donations like $3 or more is TTS and maybe adding more sub emotes so people have more of a reason to sub besides just supporting you. (I don't know if that makes a difference though, but usually I feel way more against subbing whenever there is like 4 emotes compared to a different streamer with like 24, this should probably be the last thing though.)

I figured Twitch was just your side hustle to your KZbin at this point. And that's at only 3 days a week streaming?! Not gonna lie, this kinda makes me excited. It's like seeing proof that you don't need to have 5,000 viewers or to stream 60 hours a week to do really well for yourself. Most of us would be content with 1/10th of that per month.
