How I Made $10k+ Per Month As A Small Twitch Streamer

Love your videos Ashni!

[@mcentepede]

This was clickbait.

[@Korenski23VO]

Only $3,800 a month sounds like a dream to most people :)

[@deathkiller275]

Damn sure does to me

[@2payton4234]

You will find that $3800 is not much, per month. Tax is a SOB

[@layshaaaaaaa]

@@2payton4234 it’s more than minimum wage for playing video games.... that’s a lot lmao

[@Chuso_Skever]

@@2payton4234 I don't know in the US, but in Spain the average salary is between 1000/1500 € before taxes so if you give me 3800 $ per month I'll be way beyond over the average

[@pedrogeraldi7540]

Here in Brazil the dollar is arround 5,6x times more than the real(R$). Sooo that is like what i would earn in a FULL YEAR of work (actually is even more)

[@wingspan6495]

My one critique is that I feel like it's pretty dangerous to say "if you need money now go and coach someone" because that seems to breed a lot of opportunities for people to scam others. If you're a struggling streamer, why would I take coaching from you when you haven't built it yourself? I liked the video, but that one part kind of felt off to me.

[@gaminwithgc]

I agree, it's all of those KZbin ads you see offering sales or their books. It's a lot of scam marketing.

[@JsMethod]

I think she meant coach around a topic you have authority over. For example, if you're trying to become a League streamer and you're like a challenger player or whatever, you could offer coaching and it would be valuable.

[@ThatBlakeCampbell]

It seems like there’s a lot of streamers that get successful by making “streaming tips” videos.

[@CalebWilliams2517]

Teaching is one of the most gratifying experiences you can have and you can learn a lot from teaching others. I understand how it could be dangerous, but people will vote with their feet and avoid what doesn't work for them.

[@mjentertaintment2706]

Yeaaaaaah but thats exactly what she and other popular "how to stream" creators are doing. They make their money off the traffic of "helping" others. I'm not saying they dont offer sound advice just that they leave out the part that their niche market involves these exact "tutorial" videos.

[@Luckysury333]

I have 9 followers. I started streaming 5 days ago. I feel goood

[@HollieSavesBees]

Keep at it

[@tegrity5822]

i have 7 and i started like 3 months ago. Feels good.

[@bestbigbros1102]

Shiiii bro what ru at now??

[@pie8204]

where are you at now

[@Charlie-tw3ef]

Wow what games do u do

[@PokeRanger94]

Only $3,800 a month. I currently get paid just over $2,200 a month with my full time job. That’s before they take taxes.

[@divacroft1034]

come to eastern europe and you will earn 300 eur per month

[@Dd-mt5ol]

What about now ?

[@xcosminax]

@@Dd-mt5ol(This is my other account) Oh if I only knew how my life would change 3 years ago. I got an entirely different job making more than double as I was before. Wouldn’t say that’s big money, but I’m finally living comfortably. Thought streaming would be what would get me out of my financial crisis. It didn’t, but I met some cool people through it. It also made me appreciate the work it takes to do this sort of thing.

[@Gerofied]

This video is exactly what I needed right now. I've been fumbling through trying to find what to focus on...

[@Spvrdx]

Right

[@leftyhanded145]

Great video as always Ash!! - I'm an affiliate (applied for partner a few weeks ago - fingers crossed!!) averaging in the 90ish viewer range right now, and becoming one of the lager streams in my category. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a video where you go more into depth about how small/medium creators can begin to seek out partnerships? Should we reach out to smaller companies? Make a one page media kit? How to pitch yourself as a marketing partner? This sort of information is so, so hard to find, I'd be so grateful if you elaborated on the process of how you got sponsorships at your viewership range. Thank you so much!!

[@CatherineChen]

Hope you ended up getting partnered!! ☺️

[@pheyzo]

What’s the twitch

[@jenniferrojas2915]

just started streaming, and i looooooove that your first digital product did so well! i felt really proud watching you gush about it!

[@Aspcts]

It’s crazy how much time and effort you put into these videos. Huge respect. Keep up the good work

[@boricua4ver]

I'm a small streamer with 11 followers on twitch. It's a grind to get viewers/followers/subscribers but I made it a goal to keep trying even if I entertain 1 person to me is worth it. Thanks for sharing the vid. I learned a lot.

[@Genkku]

Topic suggestion: Tips for non-american streamers and non-native English speakers. Most of these big sponsorship opportunities are available only for American streamers. EU doesn't even have Twitch bounty board yet. Twitch isn't as popular in smaller countries. Also tipping / donation culture is not as big in EU.

[@missiridia2337]

Agree 100%

[@nolandiekmann6191]

While the opportunity is better in America and English speakers, the ceiling is WAY higher for non English speakers. Think Ibai, he gets insane viewership numbers and works with lots of sponsors. His average viewership is 83k and his max was 540k this year. While it is next to impossible. It can be a reality for some (maybe not ibai numbers, but still respectable #s)

[@grippygecko6843]

that explains some things. Now I think about it, it's the US streams where I see bits and tips getting dropped. All my UK streams the most I tend to see is the odd gift sub.

[@SickoMyselfTV]

"I'm gonna help you steal back from them..." Priceless...stay safe/ stay healthy -Sick

[@POPQC]

I've done 10K$ per months after very few months streaming ....people who think it's not possible don't understand the potential!

[@gluble2199]

What’s your twitch and what do you do?

[@smuk123]

Care to elaborate your story/method?

[@Yolotube-nite]

That amazing !!!

[@Real_Misty]

I’m a beginning streamer at the moment and I just hit 100 followers yesterday. After watching a lot of your videos and some others it came to me that I really need to start youtube content and tiktok content to try and make a name for myself other than twitch. I just wanted to say that your videos are very helpful and even after 3 years, this is great advice and I’m glad you were able to tell your story! ❤

[@monicacrossing9523]

Thanks for this video! I just started streaming 2 weeks ago and have 91 followers, became affiliate last week!

[@TheUltimateLifeTester]

Wow congrats!! Definitely growing much slower than that lol...it's tough!

[@SuperGlitchd]

I think there's some confusion here... you're not a streamer. YOU'RE A LEGEND OF AN ENTREPRENEUR! congratulations!!! And thank you for sharing this openly with the open internet :) it's very much appreciated.

[@ShengBelmonteOfficial]

I love the transparency and clarity on this video. Thank you 😊

[@tysondang]

Thank you so much for making this video! I've listened to a few of your podcasts when I left my job in 2019 to become a full-time musician & part-time streamer (literally right before pandemic started haha), and has since become a slowly but surely flourishing venture! Came across this video the other day in my search to continue growing income. Very inspiring and insightful!!!

[@WeAsOneRise]

man just to make 1k a month right now from playing a game i9 love would be absolutely beautiful. I am on my come up though see ya at the top. Keep up the great work.

[@xQueenmangox]

I used to stream but had to stop for personal reasons. I miss the joy and fun I had with my community. I have been thinking of going back and really putting in my all!! Its my dream job. Thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful to see different income options!! ❤️

[@alexandercourtney1075]

Super excited to start streaming. I have to save to buy all the equipment, but I’m glad to have these resources to learn. Ultimately I want to stream because I have fun doing it. Anything else is extra!

[@willcrockett6707]

What a great video! Thank you for being so open and honest about your path to success. You should be very proud of yourself.

You should make a video weighing in on the potential or the lack thereof as a Facebook gaming streamer vs Twitch.

I honestly LOVE coaching so whatever coaching tips you could provide would be awesome

[@themalanden]

I'm a streamer who started streaming 2 months ago on Facebook and I just reached 2600 follows. Before I started and even now I try to always Improve my stream and you have the most real streaming advice I have seen on KZbin. You are amazing!

[@demathris1031]

Would you recommend streaming your games to multiple platforms at the same time?

[@themalanden]

@@demathris1031 I am streaming on Facebook, twitch and KZbin however the people in the different platforms can't see what the others are saying and sometimes I forget to look at my twitch and KZbin chat because my Facebook chat is the most popular.

[@demathris1031]

@@themalanden There's got to be some website that allows you to see chats form different platforms the same time

[@JakeRandall]

This was a great video because you talked about your personal experience and what worked for you, obviously not every strategy works for every person but this let us see how they worked for you and gave me tons of ideas how to apply it to myself because you were so detailed, thanks!

I’m also a person who did the “small streamer grind” now I’m focusing on making content other places. Thanks so much for the motivation!

[@LeandroMartinezLFM]

Hey Ashni, I know this is an old video, but it's a nice one. Just to let you know that on the e-book landing page, the call-to-action buttons have different prices, some have $7 while others have $27. Keep up the awesome work!

[@SlapbackGOD]

Good video. I've recently experienced a growth in my own KZbin channel (100 monthly views to 71,000) and it was sudden, one month to another. I have basic videos (mostly nvidia highlights) by I've started using some key words in the tags section and it helped a lot. Also the "Shorts" helped gaining viewership. After that I've done a couple live streams with avg. 50 viewers so I think I'll start developing my branding and invest in a better setup to stream with a little better quality.

[@curandeiradivinia]

E-book Idea really stuck with me. I am totally going to do a guide book about selflove and selfcare 😍

[@LeckaTV]

This is well said! I would love to hear what mistakes you made coaching (I do this 1 on 1 with my top tier patrons on Patreon for $50/hr, so I was glad to hear you also did that same rate when you started with it) and with creating your digital product, because I am working on creating my own.

[@togetheragency]

Watched this in full. Even though these are all obvious its great to have someone spell it out and to hear how well you did with your e-book. Congratulations. How long did it take you to come up with the context of your e-book? Did you have any planning strategies for that. i.e. Did you have like an idea of the chapters, direction you were going in first.

[@littlefitkendall1]

Such a helpful video, thank you so much! I started streaming because I wanted to chat while I worked out, and in 3 streams I'm nearly at my 50 for affiliate! Now just to get those 7 days in and a few more subs. Thank you for your video! Definitely subbed.

[@ifohancroft]

I think that's very generous actually! I think of those that have like 20-30K viewers as big streamers. Those with like 1K+ viewers as medium sized streamers. And those with less than 1K viewers as small streamers.

[@UnchallengedGaming]

1 on 1 coaching is fine, but deff not something long term you want to do. Use the time, to collect all the questions/answers - and turn it into a course you can monetize to everyone with the background (these are questions from over 100 clients) that they asked so you don't have to, and you can get this to watch again and again for only XXX.XX. So coaching leads to more.

[@fortminorproject]

Women thrive on twitch. Based on low population, they are ridiculously successful within a year.

[@MuirDragonneTV]

I feel as though you were talking to me a bit in this vid. ;) So what did we learn in this vid? A: To really start earning money we need some kind of merchandise that provides a service to others or provides something that other people find useful. Clothing merch won't do this , so that's out. You suggest coaching or a teaching type ebook, but to be honest, that isn't really within my skill set and doesn't really tie in to my streams. So what could I personally provide that does? I am seriously at a loss here. You've got me thinking, but I just can not come up with any ideas.

I got nothing to coach people with. The digital product is a good idea, but this isn't something everyone can do.

Still, thank you for providing this video and reaching out to others out there.

[@keotheartist]

Very insightful. Thank you!

[@ineedsouls303]

I've been watching your content for awhile now. This is a backup account, so it doesn't reveal who I am. All of your content has been informative and helpful, but this video, which I'm just now seeing for the first time; This video really influences people to do things for the wrong reasons. These reasons are why so many fail and start trying to become streamers for all of the wrong reasons. Everyone is doing things for money and blaming people of the likes of you because they think they're going to make a ton of money. All I ever hear from other streamers is talk of money. They wonder why they're not growing, but it's because they're making it their focus. So many streamers talk about making money off the viewers and these videos don't help with fixing the community. It has been making things more toxic. Nothing towards you, but these videos really hurt the community by filling everyone's minds with dollar signs. Also, congrats on all of the success! I've been watching since you were smaller, great to see the growth! Keep up the great work!

[@Syafire]

[@SaSeshen]

I like how you are giving an honest breakdown of your success and highlighting that although this isn't common, or typical, the effort , and process anyone can do in their respective niche! Ironically, I started, or restarted my channel rather, because I already launched a business, made over $7k in sales, and am wanting to use this platform to highlight my capabilities, among other things! Yet even with that as a mindset, delivering the idea that there is a MAJOR difference between active and passive income is something these kinds of videos never cover. Well done all around. I have a question for you, as a follow up to my comment: do you cover digital marketing, or advertising your business in general? If you do, please link me the videos that either you made or your recommend. I am on my "Research" phase of all of this and am getting ready to cover the "Know your audience" phase haha.

[@HitmanLEGEND]

[@JKSCOOTER]

Thank you 🎉 learning a lot

[@darillblack3288]

There are numerous ways to monetize your stream: focusing on retaining your audience, engaging them as much as you can, doing paid sponsorships/partnerships, affiliate links, etc. Can't name them all actually. There are tons of tools to help you with that too! Let's take Gimbl.gg for example the tool lets your audience challenge you in exchange for money, instead of donating "plain" money. It makes your stream funnier, engages your audience on a whole new level, and helps a lot with monetization. Again, there are tons of tools like this one, but I like Gimbl most since they're updating regularly their content and always add new features!
