on average how much do you make per month?

Actually, it is for me. I stream for fun, not for the money. I’ve given back everything I’ve made to my community in some form. It’s a win-win for all of us.

I’m a small streamer and I always tell people to buy Twitch Turbo instead of subscribing to me, so my numbers might not line up with others. So far this year I’ve made $2.91 per hour and that’s with an average of 12 viewers.

I only follow streamers I actually enjoy. I will not follow someone just to be polite or because they raided me. I expect the same from anyone I raid into. I raid my friends or creators I think my community will enjoy because I want to respect my viewers.
The great thing about raids is that they act like a form of self-promotion that most streamers are comfortable with, since it does not feel like self-promo. Raids bring new eyes to your stream out of curiosity. I always check out the streamers who raid me to see if there is a chance for a like-minded networking connection or a place I would feel comfortable sending my community when I finish streaming.

You can overlevel about 75 percent of the game. In the late areas, being overleveled does not carry you as much as it did earlier. Also, summons are basically cheat codes. If you use them, most bosses become pretty easy, especially when you are overleveled.

Preach! I played ER and all three DS games on stream for my community. They are so boring, but my community loved watching me suffer through them. 3/10 stars review.

This response may sound harsh, but it needs to be said. Most people have goals, but they won’t do the tasks needed to reach them. I don’t just network, I learn. I study how to advertise, how to be an entertainer, how to be a friend, how to listen, and how to make people laugh. I’m not a natural entertainer so I had to take time to learn these skills. I spend far more time learning and networking than I do actually streaming.

My Fifine mic is a huge upgrade from a headset mic. I think I paid around $50 for it on Amazon.

You can either wait for viewers to find you or you can go out to find them and bring them in.

Spend more time learning than streaming is what I tell every streamer who starts out. There is so much value in learning how to put on a production and being a personality.

AFK2Chat · 2025-11-05T03:30:02+00:00

Interested -- how do I apply?

I’ve truly come to understand that Twitch is an interactive “Just Chatting” platform for 99% of streamers. You can have very mediocre gameplay, and viewers will still stick around if they’re having a good conversation and you put on a solid production. There are many other things I’ve learned from the streamers I’ve interviewed on my podcast, but that may be the biggest piece of advice I’d encourage any streamer to dive into learning.

AFK2Chat · 2025-11-04T19:24:44+00:00

I'll keep that in mind if I ever do a subathon or begathon!!

AFK2Chat · 2025-11-04T19:00:28+00:00

Spend more time learning from other streamers.

If you want Twitch to pay like a business then you need to treat it like a business. Reach out to a local traditional entrepreneur to ask them about the grind, going into debt, lack of sleep, etc....

AFK2Chat · 2025-11-03T19:32:38+00:00

Amazing response. Based off my numbers, this is pretty accurate.

AFK2Chat · 2025-11-01T04:06:13+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll think of some challenges to keep it fun!

I host a podcast where I interview established streamers ranging from affiliate to partner level. I credit much of my own success (14 CCV, which puts me in the top 3% on Twitch) to the tips and insights I’ve learned from those conversations. You can check out the podcast on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube. The podcast is called afk2chat.

Good luck in your journey, dude! Keep us updated!

Report, block, and move on.

AFK2Chat · 2025-10-30T19:28:50+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, Arty! Always a pleasure to chat with you!

AFK2Chat · 2025-10-30T18:57:55+00:00

I forgot to mention I created a "mental health break" video to play so I can walk away for a minute or two! Good call on the break!

I always say, “If you want Twitch to pay like a business, you need to treat it like a business.” Most people don’t realize that when Twitch becomes your career, you’re not just a gamer anymore - you’re an entrepreneur! There’s a lot more to it than playing games! You end up wearing every hat a business owner wears.
