Within the video game streaming ecosystem, Twitter continues to grow and solidify its position as one of the leading broadcast platforms for content creators. This is especially due to its subscription programs, which help creators to boost the monetization of their content and strengthen the relationship with their community.
Starting from this point, and continuing with the line of «Twitter basics» with which we explain the different tools and functions of the application, we are going to see what subscriptions are and how we can get one for free thanks to our Amazon Prime account.
What are Twitch Subscriptions
In the current digital landscape, subscriptions are already a tool widely used by different platforms to monetize the work of their content creators. In the case of Twitch, this service is a means by which creators can generate profits beyond advertising, promotional content or direct donations from followers.
With this service, any user can subscribe to the channel of their favorite streamer for a monthly fee. Thus, they can provide monetary support to their favorite content creators, and also access different rewards related to the channel, such as subscriber badges and exclusive stickers to use in chats during broadcasts. In addition, depending on what each creator determines, the subscription also gives access to exclusive rooms and the retransmission of the streams without the interruption of the ads.
This service has three different subscription levels and each one offers new rewards along with those of the previous level, and they also offer a different percentage of earnings for the creator. For example, in Spain the first level offers streamers 50% of the subscription, of € 3.99.
In the case of the second level (7.99 euros,) the streamer takes 60% of the cost and for the third level, the creator earns 80% of the 19.99 euros that the subscription costs. As we mentioned, each higher level contains the content of the previous one, plus other additional content, and it should be noted that they are not affected by the change in prices, since it only applies to the first level.
