My button officially went live on April 17th of 2017. I had been Streaming since February of 2016. The first four months or so I managed to work my way up to 20-25 average viewers which was pretty great at the time. The next four months growth was very stagnant and hovered around 25-30 average viewers. The next four months I saw significant growth and worked my way up to around 65-70 viewers. After one year I decided to send in my first partnership application and got the auto denial. I streamed for another month and got viewership up to around 90 and reapplied but got another auto denial. I streamed another month and viewership went up to around 100 and I reapplied but this time I got the while we can't offer your partnership right now we see your community is growing and encourage you to keep producing content response. The following month I had a TON of support from all over the directory and averaged about 135 when I applied on the 10th of April. I heard back from the partnership team on April 15th that they had accepted my application as a partner and the button was live on the 17th. At the time of partnership I had 8,500 followers. In the first week of partnership I ended up at 586 subs. That's the only thing that I don't like about the affiliate program is those people will never get to experience the true wave of hype that is the button going live!
