While there are many ways to make money online through video game streaming, the most popular are: mid-stream advertisements, sponsorships, endorsements of brands, fan donations, pay per view/subscriptions, affiliate programs, distribution of merchandise.

The most common mediums for streaming online include Twitch, Instagram and Facebook Live.

Twitch.tv is a privately owned company that evolved the way viewers consume content online. Initially a channel where real-life members of the public could stream video recordings live to a mass audience; Twitch began monetization of their platform through it’s self-curated Twitch Partner Program.

Through the Twitch Partner Program, Partners can enable monetization methods including channel subscriptions, donations, and channel emotes.

Channel subscriptions are priced at $4.99, $9.99 and $24.99 or the Twitch Prime free subscription.

Donations are provided in the form of “bits” which act as a Cheer function within the platform. The bits are then converted into cash value that the partner can transfer to their personal bank accounts. Each “Bit” has a cash value of $0.01USD per Twitch Bit for partners, while the cost per “Bit” starts at 100 Bits for $1.40USD.

Other popular marketing methods that Twitch Partners can utilize for monetization include sponsorships, endorsements, brand placements, mid-stream advertisements, reward programs based on grouped progress, sales of product and services including merchandise and channel branded attire.

Non-partner monetization of Twitch is available in the form of affiliates. You can make money on Twitch without being required to be a Twitch Partner, however the cost is $5/month and the allocation of Channel Emotes is restricted to one. While there is a restriction in place, it is not uncommon for non-partners to successfully apply as an official Twitch Partner.

Note that in order to become a Twitch Partner, you will be required to apply via the Twitch Partner Application page. For those seeking to immediately become a Twitch Partner, the process can take up to 2-4 weeks to receive a response, while those who have completed the Path to Partner Achieve have expedited prioritization and can expect a response within 5-7 business days.

As part of GGWP Academy, we’ll guide you through gameplay and help you learn how to monetize twitch.

Think your gameplay is on-par with elite players? Knowing how to brand yourself as a pro gamer requires three core elements: A large following, sponsorship and expertise of gameplay in one or more game titles.

Amassing a large following takes time, and is the precursor to gaining a sponsorship for many pro gamers. Starting a large following requires consistent engagement of an audience through gameplay while utilizing online marketing tactics and digital marketing strategies.

Not only is skill important to improve, but marketing yourself and gaining influence as a pro gamer to increase followers through Social Media, Referrals, YouTube Search Optimization and paid advertisement (usually at the cost of the aspiring professional gamer).

The ultimate validation of being a professional gamer, is to have a well known sponsor such as ROG (Republic of Gamers), NVIDIA or AMD for example.

Getting esports sponsors can be achieved through outreach. You will need to have a substantial following (100,000 or greater is recommended) to have leverage to communicate and negotiate with potential sponsors. Remember, the goal of a sponsor is to see a positive impact on their brand in a measurable format, not just an increase in awareness.

Sponsors will consider the combination of the audience persona and volume (number of active followers) as their key metrics to consider when selecting a team or individual to represent their brand. With enough following, brands then consider the public perception as the third consideration before making their decision.

Unlike traditional sporting industries where rules, regulations and gameplay have been solidified for years, esports is constantly evolving thanks to the immediate feedback and game analysis which allowed game developers within the industry to enhance development of the existing games as well as new titles released.

What makes esports popular in the market, is the combination of accessible gameplay, initial learning curve, and options for viewership.

The term “GGWP” was coined in a popular reddit forum. In contrast, “GGEZ” which stands for “Good Game, Easy” is the counterpart in reflection of bad manners post-game.

Yes! Video gaming is a sport just like any other athletic sport. Just like the NFL, MLB, NBA or any other athletic sport, video gaming has evolved to include competitive gameplay, professional players, sponsorships and drafts.

In 2019, the electronic sports industry has gained an audience of 380 million active viewers of official tournaments held internationally.

The projected total audience size by 2021 is expected to hit 557 million active viewers, based on the 14% annual growth rate predicted by Newzoo.

Esports stands for “Electronic Sports”. Electronic Sports is the professional gameplay and competition in player vs. player (or team vs. team) online video games.

The term “esports” was coined in 1999 in a Press Release as referenced by the Online Gamers Association (OGA) founded in London. The OGA comprised of gamers, publishers, and developers that mutually bonded over the production and improvement of the online gaming experience.

Esports was not popularized until the early-to-mid 2010’s. While the term was coined in the late 90’s, international competitive gaming started in the arcades, with a company known as Twin Galaxies founded by American business entrepreneur and historian Walter Day in 1980.

In 1982, a company called Twin Galaxies was a recording-keeping organization that maintained the high-scores of gaming aficionados in the United States.

It is commonly cited that though Twin Galaxies was elementary, they pioneered competitive gaming, and sparked the beginnings of esports.
