Ruthless Harris, be came after Bullshit Harris right? 🤣 The guy that claimed to be in the top 1% of earners on Twitch. He's awesome but seriously the lies this guy has spouted in the past are hilarious.
@@Parrple with how many people are on twitch, counting I mean all affiliates, yeah it’s possible. He makes pretty good bank. Check out his earnings videos. You and I don’t fully know his finances though.
Tired Harris is the Harris I enjoy the most. Agreed on pretty much everything you said here. PS: $15-$20k/month in ad revenue. WHAT THE EFF!? I need to get in on your ad rates (and views too).
I’ve been making content for 7 years and finally have a grasp on how it works and how I can make viral content. It took that long. I started when I was 11, now I’m 18. If you want any tips I can help you. It’s a brotherhood 😂
Maybe it's something you might be interested in doing in the future or it might just be plain curiosity. I have been watching Harris for a long time and just now i am taking the leap and starting streaming, hoping for the best!
I just want to point out that there is a tier above partner which is the people who actually negotiated thier own agreement with Twitch. In many cases for these people twitch is taking a smaller cut and they have direct access to talk to people at twitch. Affiliate and Partner are just the template agreements which in all honesty aren't that great.
as someone who used to not stream with a camera, and who actually did pretty well all things considered [got up to 25 avg viewers] i truly believe you should have something that allows you to connect with your audience on a visual level. my streams are variety streams, i rely on my personality and my humor so i was able to get by up to a point, but as soon as i introduced a character/vtuber my avg has gone up and up. every time i add more to her 'life-like' qualities, I get more viewers. the more i can interact in a human way [for most people this would be... as a human.. with a camera...] the more people have an easier time relating to me and have a desire to stick around. Most people come to twitch because they want to interact with someone- otherwise they'd just go watch youtube! Give them someone to connect to when they come to your streams
i m laughing because throughout my life I ve been choosing career paths that are almost impossible to succeed at. Like, I remember when I was studying acting and theater directing, our tutors were telling us the exact same things that Harris is saying rn about how competitive our field is. The entertainment industry has always been the most competitive business out there. And to me, an online content creator, ESPECIALLY a livestreamer, is first and foremost an entertainer.
No streamer should EXPECT 5 dollars an hour for time THEY decided to spend. What THEY should do is work for what they want and over time get that money.
You made some good points. At the end of the day, it's a business. People need to understand that if they are smaller, companies are going to undercut you. I'd just say focus building your brand until you get larger, then you start looking for sponsorships
You know, it strikes me that people claim Twitch owns your likeness (6:22). This is outlined nowhere in the affiliate agreement. I've scoured it, and the closest match is the exclusivity clause 2.2 referring to "Twitch Live Content" which is solely a matter of exclusivity for 24 hours. The actual hold on likeness is under section 8 (User Content), part a (License to Twitch) of the general Twitch terms of service. There you agree to license your likeness and other things to Twitch basically forever roaylty free. They STILL do not own your likeness - they own a license to both use and fully sub-license your likeness. The distinction there is that YOU still own your likeness. YOU can still license it to others, make deals using your likeness etc. There are worse contracts out there - such as some gaming "teams" - which do have their members sign away ownership, preventing them from engaging in any other deals without the team taking its cut. If someone is aware of detail contrary to this, please let me know. But otherwise what I see is every Twitch streamer - including unaffiliated zero viewer streams - grant Twitch royalty free irrevocable license, not ownership. Still a lot, yes, but it is neither ownership nor an affiliate+ thing.
6:22 Why do people claim that an affiliate contract gives Twitch your likeness? Devin said that wrong, EposVox said that wrong. There's nothing in the affiliate contract which hasn't significantly changed since its inception in 2017 that gives Twitch any right on your likeness. Like at all. eSport contracts have that clause in them and Twitch's Affiliate contract has nothing similar to it. That's confusing as hell.
Had a cam on last night and a viewer asked "how old are you?" (i'm 40 btw) now did that viewer stick around? probably not, but i still put myself out there...don't be afraid to put yourself out there
LOL, old streamers unite (42 here)! Funny thing is, popular streamers/youtubers who've been doing this for a long time, a lot of them are in their mid to late 30s at this point. Older streamers are actually not as unusual as people seem to think.
Closer to 50 here. Been streaming for 3 years off and on. I try to get employment while streaming because I haven't grown, highly competitive. My son's streamer friends told me about Twitch in 2017. I think of twitch as a business. Some get negative when I say that.
Personally I started on Facebook because twitch has no way to grow organically. I may try my hand at multi streaming eventually but as of now it’s hobby status that may eventually become more. I’m not really bothered being an older streamer since I want my kids to see me stick with something and see it through regardless what the end result is
Doesnt matter how old you are. What matters is that you understand your audience and who you are trying to reach and give them what they want. Thats it. You can be 80 it doesn't matter as long as you give people what they want.
I love your videos. I did 6 months on Twitch and learned quickly how hard it is to create a revenue stream. And I had average of 12 viewers. I've been a network marketer for over 15 years and there are many parallels between the two. Thanks for reminding folks that to make income you've got to build a business.
I like this Harris a lot, getting down to it without unnecessary sugar-coating yet at the same time not trying to be ruthless. It is what it is. Thank you, keep up the good work!
I need some water after all these hot takes! I agree with everything here, especially around the affiliate contract. Heaps of people ask me if they should sign the affiliate contract and, based on their circumstances, it is usually a yes. It has been common for people to bash the affiliate contract but the positives completely out-weigh the negatives (which are so tiny, really). The money you make from subs and bits can go so far to upgrading your stream.
Damn, I'm not on Twitch, but you just hyper-motivated me, man! What you said can easily be translated to other platforms. Thanks so much for your hard work Alpha. It's my first time posting, but I've been following you for a while. 🙌❤️
@@Annaspopoff no because nightbot doesn't count as a viewer. Neither does streamlabs or stream elements. Only people who actively chat and have the volume up will count
@@JockyCGE This was a joke, but I'm assuming it went over your head because you probably don't watch Tik Tok, sorry.. it was a such a misunderstanding that you felt like you had to waste your time to comment back. Hope you have a great day.
That's true to an extent however there are some large(r) youtube channels that I personally would never watch as their content isn't anything I have even a slight interest in however they do have a fan base.
I would like to point something out, and don't take this the wrong way but... UA-cam and Twitch are entirely two different platform types. Twitch is more for just live stream and clips with a mix of e-sports and UA-cam is more for videos and mainstream forms of media. That being said, both have common ground now due to them expanding features, etc. You have a right to not watch something that isn't of your "quality" over something you enjoy. Someone else may think what you didn't like is great. Someone might think your an awesome streamer but you might think your content sucks... Trust me, been there and done that. Lol Perspective... :) All about the perspective.
@@BeardedTaz-Official I was referring to just Twitch. Not UA-cam at all actually. So I guess to you last point yes perspective makes a difference. Although there are some baseline things that no one wants to watch, (i.e. Bad audio, poor video quality)
Harris, definitely one of my favorite videos thus far. I’m a real analytical person, it takes me months sometimes years to finalize a project. To me this was sound and well spoken words. Also helps me push a bit more towards that goal of starting my own channel. It’s super competitive out there, and hearing it keeps me humble and just focus on me and my content. If people like it good, if not I’m ok with that I’m doing what I love! I agree with what you said, I definitely recognize the gaps but also understand a lot what these companies have to do. But it’s almost like small streamers have no choice, but like you said until you bring value in, it’s not a big deal. Personally I just wanna connect, I feel like I’m not the only one! I’m about supporting each other. I’m sorry for the long post, keep up the excellent work as always!
Hard truth comes with hard talk. You have put my mind at ease on some matters and reaffirmed things I already understand. Good vid for 12:30 in the morning
You and your rational thoughts... However, we can all agree Twitch as a company is terrible. Case and point: Streamed about 300 hours last year to an average of about 80 viewers... Ad revenue = $20 LOL! Twitch + Business = Joke. The sad truth, Twitch is for fun and crowd funding. If you actually want to get paid by a company, just use UA-cam. Twitch is a waste of time from a business perspective.
Tbh though 80 people isn't a lot from an advertisers perspective. Why would they pay to advertise to someone who only has 80 people at a time when they can get their product advertised to other forms of media that will get hundreds or thousands of times more views than that. Realistically out of 80 viewers they'd be lucky to convert a single viewer to a customer so why would they pay anything for that?
@ghost robles I don't think anybody at Amazon cares about Twitch beyond the ability to push people to buy shit from Amazon proper. I feel they've already done that as much as is reasonably possible without massively haemorrhaging users due to over the top product placement type situations that happen to be Amazon affiliate links. Because of this, it's left to just... be. I think it would really benefit from being spun off as its own thing and just funded from the mothership rather than completely controlled.
@@BlacksmithBets My point is Twitch isn't worth it from a time perspective to any business or creator. Its for fun. Anyone can do infinitely better monetarily on any other platform. I love Twitch streaming, but at the end of the day it is mainly for audience interaction and community building. Not $$$.
I've been streaming for a week now, and today I had a moment during my stream where I noticed that my chat was actually moving along. So I tabbed out and saw I had ten people watching who weren't myself, and so I took a quick moment to plug my youtube and invited them to add me to their follows if they wanted to. That was it, a quick five second call to action and then I was back to playing the game. As I expected, several of the lurkers left after being called out, which is understandable, but I got a new follower out of it so I'd say it's extremely worth. Thanks Harris, I live and die by the stream senpai.
Love the bluntness man. Tired Harris is definitely great! I'm a small stream with 5 average viewers and totally agree with everything you said. My focus now is improving content to keep new/current viewers and improving as a creator. We all want to do what we love for a living but we gotta work towards that and earn it.
I really liked your 5th point about value. There is the value you provide, not only companies but also to your viewers. There are small Twitch streamers I see who their only three panels on their channel are: Subscribe, Donate, and some form of affiliate link. Then on their stream their "goal" is for a 3090. They've done nothing to give value to their viewers before they ask for value (tips, donations, subs). Same thing with the sponsorships, have something of value that you hold onto and then when you find the right fit, you'll find someone who will pay you what you are worth, but you have to have value to be paid what you are worth, because $0 is a value.
People need to understand that being a streamer is a business, and twitch provides a platform for you to build that business on, with the tools they think it’s necessary. If you don’t agree with twitch, use another platform (or create your own, which i honestly believe that some big streamers will do one day)
I agree with the camera need. When I first started streaming, I was streaming on my Xbox and didn't have a way to use a camera. I'd get a lot of people commenting how they wish they could see my face when something would happen, because I'd get so animated in my vocals that made people want to see if there was also facial reactions thwt matched the vocals.
I agree. I start to do Tt, YT and stream now at covid times. But since last 6 years Ive Been doing my own company with parties for kids. So I want to make so profits but understand the platforms I putting my content on
Just wanted to say this is not only good advice for streamers but for any creator looking to build their own business. I am an amateur actor and the rejection from auditions is hard to deal with sometimes but what you said about not having anything to offer "yet" is so true. Just have to keep honing your craft and make yourself the next thing people want to invest in. When you are in the entertainment business you are a product. Thank you for the video and for keeping it real :)
In agreement with the points here Harris! But imo, I think the main thing that Devin was promoting or encouraging viewers was to not sign into that exclusivity with the Affiliate program BUT rather focus on building your brand using those other platforms. Some platforms may be more fitting for some especially with getting discovered, or just in the general engagement with an audience that you may be able to have on one platform more than another. At least that's what I took from it and what I'm going to try to do is try multi-streaming on all and just develop as a streamer really give it a shot and time to see is this something I can see myself doing and enjoying.
I agree I order a camera from Amazon that doesn’t work, I didn’t let it discourage me, I still decided to stream without it and I’m growing steadily by networking with others
Long-time viewer here, I mostly agree with your points, but not really on the camera.... (as someone who does stream with a camera) I just don't see going camera-less as cutting corners. I think lots of people either wanna keep their identity hidden/don't wanna be recognized in public, or are incredibly insecure about their appearance, sometimes even due to unfortunate skin conditions, etc. that are out of their control. I agree it's generally harder to form a connection without a camera, but I just don't think that they are necessarily corner cutters for choosing to do so.
That's true, many people have day jobs and just want their privacy and many people are not conventionally attractive to the point that if they do use a camera early on it might even be hindrance to their growth :/ some people simply don't have the setup for a camera too and would rather spend their resources elsewhere
Look if someone is that insecure then streaming might not be for them. If they are too nervous or insecure to have a camera, the chances that they even talk during the stream are low too.
I have been streaming for 5 years via UA-cam only. To this day I still make around $0.30-$1 per hour of streaming. Even if counting all the UA-cam content I do, I still effectively make less than a full time minimum wage worker ($7.25 per hour), only making around $10,000 per year. If nothing else, it has been done with no sponsorships, no merch, and hitting triple digit concurrent at least once a week.
Great content and excellent points. Nothing here should hurt feelings - and those who may have an adverse reaction are still better off hearing this now.
“Why not show your face on stream?” “It’s like opening a burger shop without tasting burgers” sir, insecurities aren’t the same as tasting food and selling it.
@@missbeaussie Facecams are like $30 nowadays. Your literally talking to people who will never know you if your that self conscious then you should not be a content creator
The only part so far I disagree with is transcoding. I understand that it may cost Twitch a pretty penny for transcoding, but have those quality options can DIRECTLY affect the growth of your stream. Why, you ask? Because many viewers don't have the bandwidth to watch in higher resolutions. Heck, even 720p is hard for some people, and that's a LOW bar for HD. Thus, not getting those transcoding options leads to two things: either you set your stream quality too high and viewers without decent internet can't watch, OR you set your quality too low and the quality of content of which people are presented with can very well turn them away. It's one of the most frustrating parts about being someone who is an affiliate and averages 50-60 viewers but doesn't have the viewership to apply for partnership. Literally the ONLY reason I want partnership is for the transcoding. I get lucky with the times I stream in which most of the time, even as an affiliate, I still get quality options, but when I stream at any other time I have to restart my stream MULTIPLE times to try for quality options, and if I don't get them I already know that my viewership will most likely be halved. I really wish there was some other way of ensuring more people would be guaranteed quality options.
All facts spoken I absolutely love watching your videos. You’ve been helping me out with my channel since day one with these UA-cam videos. I’ve been steaming 2 months and have a average of 15 people per stream and still growing. I believe its because of you and all this information your giving small streamers thank you so much Alpha :)
Agree with everything you said 110%. Thinking ahead and having goals is challenging because people want stuff NOW. You do a good job of explaining why stuff doesn’t happen overnight.
love this vid , i agree with all the points you made, being a affiliate streamer currently and in the process of growing my brand i recognise so many people going down these rabbit holes and not understanding the business side of things , i try to reccommend your videos to anyone i see that needs it , much love 😎
Insightful. I've been streaming on Twitch since August 2020 and I'm still not affiliate. I've met streamers who hit affiliate after two days of streaming. None of this really impacts me right now. But, it's food for thought and good information to have, so thanks for that.
I find that I agree a lot with with Harris says. I don't try to agree unless I support, and so far everything said still stands today even though he had said them before. Streaming isn't easy and/or for everyone, each person's journey is different and I believe it supposed to be that way. We all will encounter similar challenges and be asked the same questions, but at the end of it all we have to figure out is this just for fun/hobby or are we going to turn streaming into something more. I could be wrong too guys, I have only been streaming 2+ years, but I have fallen in love with the process. I keep thinking of new ways to make my viewers laugh and have a good time. I love it and can't believe there is a chance I could actually turn this into a living. That realization has opened my eyes to not just streaming but other areas I might want to turn a passion of mine into a living as well, maybe even have them coexist with my streaming life. Either way if you read this far thank you for your time and I wish you great success in your life. Share your stream name and I'll try and say hello live.
Dude! Thanks so much for just being brutally honest. I realize that every time you give advice, you could be offending some of your viewers who don’t like your answer. And then they might unsubscribe. It takes guts to be honest. But your tips are accurate! And you’ve been a wonderful guide for me as a new streamer. I hope that one day I’ll be as big as you, so that you’ll know without a doubt that your advice works. Cheers!
We’re musicians and streams on another platform, but your videos have always gave us great advices and ideas about how to succeed. Thank you, Alpha Gaming for your inspiration. We are now trying to move into Twitch and this video is more relevant to us than before.
Dude when a company sent me a demo for their game I was so excited. Mind you, the day after that I saw it was on the Steam Games Festival at the time and was like "Oh yeah okay... this is nothing exceptional" But then thinking back on it, they saw that I was doing a thing and decided "Hey lets just ask if he knows about this game" which still feels good. If a company was like "I will pay you a small lunch to play our game" I would be ecstatic at this point.
I am always going to fight against the "Use a camera" argument until the day I die. There a LOT of reasons why people don't want to show their face on stream. One of those being anxiety problems. And that reason alone should be the answer anyone needs.
Im glad to see this video. I agree with what you say 100% but I get so much pushback on it bc of my size. But it’s all very accurate. That’s why you’re da best man!
This video is amazing, especially the bit about what affiliate and partnership status really means on Twitch. It's crazy how people worship that purple check mark icon.
As a streamer that’s been streaming for just over 6 months, I agree with every single point you made in this video. I am running a business, and just like companies evaluate what value I bring to them, I evaluate what value they bring to me and my growth. Nothing wrong with me saying no to a company just like there is nothing wrong with a company offering me $5 an hour to stream a game. Heck, if you think about it, most of us are paying to play a game on our stream so no matter the amount the idea of getting paid anything to play a specific game is pretty cool! Great video Harris!
Honestly I agree with most of what you say, even though there are some weird grey areas with how twitch does their business or where people who analyze the contracts and stuff who still don't get a clear answer to some specific questions, the only thing I can say as an affiliate is that I'd like a little more transparency when it comes to what can and can't be accounted for as an affiliate.
I actually really apreciated this video. Thank you a lot! I have been really thinking a lot about whether i should accept the affiliate contract or not. Think im gonna do it, i had kinda come to the same conclusions as u, so this made me more confident in doing so
This was so right... in the last year ive grown so much as a streamer and I see how important it is to not get hang up on that affiliate/partner thing. ive made more progress disconnecting myself from the analytics and just enjoying with the community! my average grew from 7 people to 30 people a stream! Thanks for all your advices!
Very good video Harris, really on point and while this might not be what the 99% of aspiring streamers/content creators want to here, you're so bang on the money with everything you have said.
I'm just starting out streaming on Twitch. I'm not necessarily doing it to become a big streamer or make a living from it. I'm doing it more as a confidence builder for myself, kind of a hobby/self improvement thing. I've always struggled with even just chatting to people in game lobbies so I end up being a solo player a lot. It also affects my real life. I'm 30 and have anxiety issues just for talking with new people. Spent the last 10 hours watching your videos. Thanks for all the information and advice you give.
Weather or not to sign the affiliate contract has been on my mind these last few weeks. I can always count on you Harris to shoot it straight. Much respect. Congrats on the new House, Studio and Music release.
I find much of what you say very helpful. I'm in a wicked situation, suffice it to say I have been listening to you since May of 2019. Tired Harris is honest Harris and worth listening to.
3:24 - Hey, just an annoying little thing, It's 51 viewers on the screen :D but I get it, tired is tired :D I almost wrote to a friend who's pretty new to this that he's almost in the top 1% Also, I really like the way you talk about it, as always, great video!
I literally gave up my almost 3 year long goal of getting twitch partner to stream on youtube because I've been having WAYY more success over here and found an audience that is used to youtube streams (and all the monetary stuff that comes with them). As much as I didn't want to give up the fact that I could have gotten partner within a year, I made the really really tough choice to focus on my brand instead. Twitch partner is a badge and really nothing more besides extra emotes.
I thought you made a lot of good points here. Many of the questions you were answering, I had been thinking about as well. as a small streamer, I was watching several of the so-called large streamers saying you should never sign the affiliate contract because you get almost nothing out of it. While this may be true, I think you made a good point and also it made me think too that for some of us smaller streamers although the money will be very little it is better than nothing.
I agree with a lot of it, I tried to start with twitch but was not going anywhere, I switched over to concentrating on my gaming youtube channel which saw much better quicker success. Gaming was taking so much away from my kids though I backed off of it and went to concentrating on this cooking channel. I definitely wish I could make $15-20k a month off ad revenue but right now im more like $200 lol. I have been making more off Amazon affiliate and influencer honestly. I do hope to grow enough to make it full time eventually but for now I have to keep my day job.
Many great points. A lot of streaming has already dried up and over the next year as people get to leave the house again the landscape might change again. As many mistakes as Twitch makes, them fixing their issues won't fix boring streams that no one watches. Not everyone can be a star, and if you're just a nice guy playing games that won't be enough.
I think tired Harris says what’s need to be said. Very straight forward and to the point (what the world needs)....with a dash of Harris humor and giggles thrown in
As for the point on the twitch brand friendliness score issue. It was less the concept of it existing and more the specifics, of it e.g. age was factored into the score, why(???) and there was a category for score at a twitch mods discretion which is SUPER unclear and subjective in an era when twitch is more and more failing to apply the same rules consistently
I'm a beginner when it comes to streaming just enjoying the journey and trying to learn as much as I can. I never really thought of it as a business but more as something to share my other passions. So watching your videos on UA-cam has given me some insightful information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and perspective with us.
First off, I agree with the entire video. Secondly I've worked in sales for about 14 years and, in regards to the last topic about signing sponsorships, the ratio between clients and sales is almost close to 1 out of every 30 clients that pay for a product.
Shit, I hit play thinking this was gonna be controversial. As a new streamer, all of this makes complete sense and it's kind of mind blowing that people are complaining about that stuff. Thanks for the great content!
Hey, Harris! I loved the "hot-take" style video. I liked the point you made about the brand scores and I agree that it is necessary for Twitch to provide value to advertisers. The problem that can arise is the racial bias and discrimination, towards certain communities (e.g. LGBTQ+), from heuristic and ML based processes. Although it will likely be an invaluable tool for Twitch, I think it's important that the Twitch community drives the platform to be ethical and equitable for all groups.
So Im not going to lie I love the whole vibe of this video. I honestly think tire Harris should do more of these videos. (Side not I agreed with everything you said, even had my journal out to take notes on things that I find super important and things that I will always need to remember). Sooo Thanks
10:15 This for most people just mean you'll get more ad revenue because ads running on your stream will be more relevant, therefore more expensive. Still AD on twitch sucks but if they do this correctly (and one step is targetting ads like youtube does) it's just positives, and I also mean by the user that will actually watch something that might be relevant.
Being a small twitch affliate with an average of 7 viewers I find this so helpful in every aspect. The advice you give has helped me grow and keep doing what I’m doing your a star ! Thankyou for the advice ❤️ MASSIVE HELP !!!
I really like your "in the face" style of informative content! Social media especially TikTok is filled with vague bullshit tips for streaming that does not help anyone and only give boost to the "Tip Guy"

No streamer should EXPECT 5 dollars an hour for time THEY decided to spend. What THEY should do is work for what they want and over time get that money.
Tired Harris says what we need to hear, even if we don't like it.
You made some good points. At the end of the day, it's a business. People need to understand that if they are smaller, companies are going to undercut you. I'd just say focus building your brand until you get larger, then you start looking for sponsorships
You know, it strikes me that people claim Twitch owns your likeness (6:22). This is outlined nowhere in the affiliate agreement. I've scoured it, and the closest match is the exclusivity clause 2.2 referring to "Twitch Live Content" which is solely a matter of exclusivity for 24 hours.
The actual hold on likeness is under section 8 (User Content), part a (License to Twitch) of the general Twitch terms of service. There you agree to license your likeness and other things to Twitch basically forever roaylty free. They STILL do not own your likeness - they own a license to both use and fully sub-license your likeness. The distinction there is that YOU still own your likeness. YOU can still license it to others, make deals using your likeness etc. There are worse contracts out there - such as some gaming "teams" - which do have their members sign away ownership, preventing them from engaging in any other deals without the team taking its cut.
If someone is aware of detail contrary to this, please let me know. But otherwise what I see is every Twitch streamer - including unaffiliated zero viewer streams - grant Twitch royalty free irrevocable license, not ownership. Still a lot, yes, but it is neither ownership nor an affiliate+ thing.
6:22
Why do people claim that an affiliate contract gives Twitch your likeness?
Devin said that wrong, EposVox said that wrong. There's nothing in the affiliate contract which hasn't significantly changed since its inception in 2017 that gives Twitch any right on your likeness. Like at all.
eSport contracts have that clause in them and Twitch's Affiliate contract has nothing similar to it. That's confusing as hell.
Had a cam on last night and a viewer asked "how old are you?" (i'm 40 btw) now did that viewer stick around? probably not, but i still put myself out there...don't be afraid to put yourself out there
LOL, old streamers unite (42 here)! Funny thing is, popular streamers/youtubers who've been doing this for a long time, a lot of them are in their mid to late 30s at this point. Older streamers are actually not as unusual as people seem to think.
One of my favorite streamers and who inspired me is 50. It’s uses it for his niche. There is an audience for everyone just be realistic.
Closer to 50 here. Been streaming for 3 years off and on. I try to get employment while streaming because I haven't grown, highly competitive. My son's streamer friends told me about Twitch in 2017. I think of twitch as a business. Some get negative when I say that.
Personally I started on Facebook because twitch has no way to grow organically. I may try my hand at multi streaming eventually but as of now it’s hobby status that may eventually become more. I’m not really bothered being an older streamer since I want my kids to see me stick with something and see it through regardless what the end result is
Doesnt matter how old you are. What matters is that you understand your audience and who you are trying to reach and give them what they want. Thats it. You can be 80 it doesn't matter as long as you give people what they want.
I love your videos. I did 6 months on Twitch and learned quickly how hard it is to create a revenue stream. And I had average of 12 viewers. I've been a network marketer for over 15 years and there are many parallels between the two. Thanks for reminding folks that to make income you've got to build a business.
I like this Harris a lot, getting down to it without unnecessary sugar-coating yet at the same time not trying to be ruthless. It is what it is. Thank you, keep up the good work!
I need some water after all these hot takes! I agree with everything here, especially around the affiliate contract. Heaps of people ask me if they should sign the affiliate contract and, based on their circumstances, it is usually a yes. It has been common for people to bash the affiliate contract but the positives completely out-weigh the negatives (which are so tiny, really). The money you make from subs and bits can go so far to upgrading your stream.
Damn, I'm not on Twitch, but you just hyper-motivated me, man! What you said can easily be translated to other platforms. Thanks so much for your hard work Alpha. It's my first time posting, but I've been following you for a while. 🙌❤️
This honestly has helped me out a lot and opened my eyes more for what I want for my future on Twitch.

@@JockyCGE This was a joke, but I'm assuming it went over your head because you probably don't watch Tik Tok, sorry.. it was a such a misunderstanding that you felt like you had to waste your time to comment back. Hope you have a great day.
I mean you’re not wrong. People need to understand that if you wouldn’t watch your own videos, why would anyone else
that’s not necessarily true tho bc it may just not be ur type but other people are interested in it
but most of the time yes
That's true to an extent however there are some large(r) youtube channels that I personally would never watch as their content isn't anything I have even a slight interest in however they do have a fan base.
I would like to point something out, and don't take this the wrong way but... UA-cam and Twitch are entirely two different platform types.
Twitch is more for just live stream and clips with a mix of e-sports and UA-cam is more for videos and mainstream forms of media. That being said, both have common ground now due to them expanding features, etc.
You have a right to not watch something that isn't of your "quality" over something you enjoy. Someone else may think what you didn't like is great. Someone might think your an awesome streamer but you might think your content sucks... Trust me, been there and done that. Lol
Perspective... :)
All about the perspective.
@@BeardedTaz-Official I was referring to just Twitch. Not UA-cam at all actually. So I guess to you last point yes perspective makes a difference. Although there are some baseline things that no one wants to watch, (i.e. Bad audio, poor video quality)
Harris, definitely one of my favorite videos thus far. I’m a real analytical person, it takes me months sometimes years to finalize a project. To me this was sound and well spoken words. Also helps me push a bit more towards that goal of starting my own channel. It’s super competitive out there, and hearing it keeps me humble and just focus on me and my content. If people like it good, if not I’m ok with that I’m doing what I love! I agree with what you said, I definitely recognize the gaps but also understand a lot what these companies have to do. But it’s almost like small streamers have no choice, but like you said until you bring value in, it’s not a big deal. Personally I just wanna connect, I feel like I’m not the only one! I’m about supporting each other. I’m sorry for the long post, keep up the excellent work as always!
Hard truth comes with hard talk. You have put my mind at ease on some matters and reaffirmed things I already understand. Good vid for 12:30 in the morning
You and your rational thoughts...
However, we can all agree Twitch as a company is terrible. Case and point: Streamed about 300 hours last year to an average of about 80 viewers... Ad revenue = $20 LOL! Twitch + Business = Joke.
The sad truth, Twitch is for fun and crowd funding. If you actually want to get paid by a company, just use UA-cam. Twitch is a waste of time from a business perspective.
Tbh though 80 people isn't a lot from an advertisers perspective. Why would they pay to advertise to someone who only has 80 people at a time when they can get their product advertised to other forms of media that will get hundreds or thousands of times more views than that. Realistically out of 80 viewers they'd be lucky to convert a single viewer to a customer so why would they pay anything for that?
@ghost robles I don't think anybody at Amazon cares about Twitch beyond the ability to push people to buy shit from Amazon proper. I feel they've already done that as much as is reasonably possible without massively haemorrhaging users due to over the top product placement type situations that happen to be Amazon affiliate links. Because of this, it's left to just... be. I think it would really benefit from being spun off as its own thing and just funded from the mothership rather than completely controlled.
@@BlacksmithBets My point is Twitch isn't worth it from a time perspective to any business or creator. Its for fun. Anyone can do infinitely better monetarily on any other platform.
I love Twitch streaming, but at the end of the day it is mainly for audience interaction and community building. Not $$$.
I've been streaming for a week now, and today I had a moment during my stream where I noticed that my chat was actually moving along. So I tabbed out and saw I had ten people watching who weren't myself, and so I took a quick moment to plug my youtube and invited them to add me to their follows if they wanted to. That was it, a quick five second call to action and then I was back to playing the game. As I expected, several of the lurkers left after being called out, which is understandable, but I got a new follower out of it so I'd say it's extremely worth. Thanks Harris, I live and die by the stream senpai.
Love the bluntness man. Tired Harris is definitely great! I'm a small stream with 5 average viewers and totally agree with everything you said. My focus now is improving content to keep new/current viewers and improving as a creator. We all want to do what we love for a living but we gotta work towards that and earn it.
5 dollars an hour is actually double what the minimum wage per hour in my country. I would take that in a heartbeat tbh
I really liked your 5th point about value.
There is the value you provide, not only companies but also to your viewers. There are small Twitch streamers I see who their only three panels on their channel are: Subscribe, Donate, and some form of affiliate link. Then on their stream their "goal" is for a 3090. They've done nothing to give value to their viewers before they ask for value (tips, donations, subs).
Same thing with the sponsorships, have something of value that you hold onto and then when you find the right fit, you'll find someone who will pay you what you are worth, but you have to have value to be paid what you are worth, because $0 is a value.
People need to understand that being a streamer is a business, and twitch provides a platform for you to build that business on, with the tools they think it’s necessary. If you don’t agree with twitch, use another platform (or create your own, which i honestly believe that some big streamers will do one day)
I agree with the camera need. When I first started streaming, I was streaming on my Xbox and didn't have a way to use a camera. I'd get a lot of people commenting how they wish they could see my face when something would happen, because I'd get so animated in my vocals that made people want to see if there was also facial reactions thwt matched the vocals.
I agree. I start to do Tt, YT and stream now at covid times. But since last 6 years Ive Been doing my own company with parties for kids. So I want to make so profits but understand the platforms I putting my content on
Just wanted to say this is not only good advice for streamers but for any creator looking to build their own business. I am an amateur actor and the rejection from auditions is hard to deal with sometimes but what you said about not having anything to offer "yet" is so true. Just have to keep honing your craft and make yourself the next thing people want to invest in. When you are in the entertainment business you are a product. Thank you for the video and for keeping it real :)

In agreement with the points here Harris!
But imo, I think the main thing that Devin was promoting or encouraging viewers was to not sign into that exclusivity with the Affiliate program BUT rather focus on building your brand using those other platforms. Some platforms may be more fitting for some especially with getting discovered, or just in the general engagement with an audience that you may be able to have on one platform more than another. At least that's what I took from it and what I'm going to try to do is try multi-streaming on all and just develop as a streamer really give it a shot and time to see is this something I can see myself doing and enjoying.
I agree I order a camera from Amazon that doesn’t work, I didn’t let it discourage me, I still decided to stream without it and I’m growing steadily by networking with others
Long-time viewer here, I mostly agree with your points, but not really on the camera.... (as someone who does stream with a camera) I just don't see going camera-less as cutting corners. I think lots of people either wanna keep their identity hidden/don't wanna be recognized in public, or are incredibly insecure about their appearance, sometimes even due to unfortunate skin conditions, etc. that are out of their control. I agree it's generally harder to form a connection without a camera, but I just don't think that they are necessarily corner cutters for choosing to do so.
That's true, many people have day jobs and just want their privacy and many people are not conventionally attractive to the point that if they do use a camera early on it might even be hindrance to their growth :/ some people simply don't have the setup for a camera too and would rather spend their resources elsewhere
Look if someone is that insecure then streaming might not be for them. If they are too nervous or insecure to have a camera, the chances that they even talk during the stream are low too.
I have been streaming for 5 years via UA-cam only. To this day I still make around $0.30-$1 per hour of streaming. Even if counting all the UA-cam content I do, I still effectively make less than a full time minimum wage worker ($7.25 per hour), only making around $10,000 per year. If nothing else, it has been done with no sponsorships, no merch, and hitting triple digit concurrent at least once a week.
Great content and excellent points. Nothing here should hurt feelings - and those who may have an adverse reaction are still better off hearing this now.

The only part so far I disagree with is transcoding. I understand that it may cost Twitch a pretty penny for transcoding, but have those quality options can DIRECTLY affect the growth of your stream. Why, you ask? Because many viewers don't have the bandwidth to watch in higher resolutions. Heck, even 720p is hard for some people, and that's a LOW bar for HD. Thus, not getting those transcoding options leads to two things: either you set your stream quality too high and viewers without decent internet can't watch, OR you set your quality too low and the quality of content of which people are presented with can very well turn them away.
It's one of the most frustrating parts about being someone who is an affiliate and averages 50-60 viewers but doesn't have the viewership to apply for partnership. Literally the ONLY reason I want partnership is for the transcoding. I get lucky with the times I stream in which most of the time, even as an affiliate, I still get quality options, but when I stream at any other time I have to restart my stream MULTIPLE times to try for quality options, and if I don't get them I already know that my viewership will most likely be halved. I really wish there was some other way of ensuring more people would be guaranteed quality options.
All facts spoken I absolutely love watching your videos. You’ve been helping me out with my channel since day one with these UA-cam videos. I’ve been steaming 2 months and have a average of 15 people per stream and still growing. I believe its because of you and all this information your giving small streamers thank you so much Alpha :)
Agree with everything you said 110%. Thinking ahead and having goals is challenging because people want stuff NOW. You do a good job of explaining why stuff doesn’t happen overnight.
@Harris You're fine man, you were level headed, fair and reasonable. I agree with you entirely
love this vid , i agree with all the points you made, being a affiliate streamer currently and in the process of growing my brand i recognise so many people going down these rabbit holes and not understanding the business side of things , i try to reccommend your videos to anyone i see that needs it , much love 😎
Insightful. I've been streaming on Twitch since August 2020 and I'm still not affiliate. I've met streamers who hit affiliate after two days of streaming. None of this really impacts me right now. But, it's food for thought and good information to have, so thanks for that.
I find that I agree a lot with with Harris says. I don't try to agree unless I support, and so far everything said still stands today even though he had said them before. Streaming isn't easy and/or for everyone, each person's journey is different and I believe it supposed to be that way. We all will encounter similar challenges and be asked the same questions, but at the end of it all we have to figure out is this just for fun/hobby or are we going to turn streaming into something more. I could be wrong too guys, I have only been streaming 2+ years, but I have fallen in love with the process. I keep thinking of new ways to make my viewers laugh and have a good time. I love it and can't believe there is a chance I could actually turn this into a living. That realization has opened my eyes to not just streaming but other areas I might want to turn a passion of mine into a living as well, maybe even have them coexist with my streaming life. Either way if you read this far thank you for your time and I wish you great success in your life. Share your stream name and I'll try and say hello live.
Agreed with everything you said and some of the things I see people get upset about under twitch post is worrying
I find myself debating on just getting rid of my twitter. It is always super negative bs.
Dude! Thanks so much for just being brutally honest. I realize that every time you give advice, you could be offending some of your viewers who don’t like your answer. And then they might unsubscribe. It takes guts to be honest. But your tips are accurate! And you’ve been a wonderful guide for me as a new streamer.

Dude when a company sent me a demo for their game I was so excited. Mind you, the day after that I saw it was on the Steam Games Festival at the time and was like
"Oh yeah okay... this is nothing exceptional"
But then thinking back on it, they saw that I was doing a thing and decided "Hey lets just ask if he knows about this game" which still feels good.
If a company was like "I will pay you a small lunch to play our game" I would be ecstatic at this point.
I am always going to fight against the "Use a camera" argument until the day I die. There a LOT of reasons why people don't want to show their face on stream. One of those being anxiety problems. And that reason alone should be the answer anyone needs.
exactly
Im glad to see this video. I agree with what you say 100% but I get so much pushback on it bc of my size. But it’s all very accurate. That’s why you’re da best man!
This video is amazing, especially the bit about what affiliate and partnership status really means on Twitch. It's crazy how people worship that purple check
mark icon.
As a streamer that’s been streaming for just over 6 months, I agree with every single point you made in this video. I am running a business, and just like companies evaluate what value I bring to them, I evaluate what value they bring to me and my growth. Nothing wrong with me saying no to a company just like there is nothing wrong with a company offering me $5 an hour to stream a game. Heck, if you think about it, most of us are paying to play a game on our stream so no matter the amount the idea of getting paid anything to play a specific game is pretty cool!
Great video Harris!
Honestly I agree with most of what you say, even though there are some weird grey areas with how twitch does their business or where people who analyze the contracts and stuff who still don't get a clear answer to some specific questions, the only thing I can say as an affiliate is that I'd like a little more transparency when it comes to what can and can't be accounted for as an affiliate.
I actually really apreciated this video. Thank you a lot! I have been really thinking a lot about whether i should accept the affiliate contract or not. Think im gonna do it, i had kinda come to the same conclusions as u, so this made me more confident in doing so
This was so right... in the last year ive grown so much as a streamer and I see how important it is to not get hang up on that affiliate/partner thing. ive made more progress disconnecting myself from the analytics and just enjoying with the community! my average grew from 7 people to 30 people a stream! Thanks for all your advices!
Very good video Harris, really on point and while this might not be what the 99% of aspiring streamers/content creators want to here, you're so bang on the money with everything you have said.
I'm just starting out streaming on Twitch. I'm not necessarily doing it to become a big streamer or make a living from it. I'm doing it more as a confidence builder for myself, kind of a hobby/self improvement thing. I've always struggled with even just chatting to people in game lobbies so I end up being a solo player a lot. It also affects my real life. I'm 30 and have anxiety issues just for talking with new people. Spent the last 10 hours watching your videos. Thanks for all the information and advice you give.
Weather or not to sign the affiliate contract has been on my mind these last few weeks. I can always count on you Harris to shoot it straight. Much respect. Congrats on the new House, Studio and Music release.
Fell into a slump. Getting out of it now. Thanks for the videos.
I find much of what you say very helpful. I'm in a wicked situation, suffice it to say I have been listening to you since May of 2019. Tired Harris is honest Harris and worth listening to.
Good video, I see so many people that assume anyone can be a streamer and its super easy but they never look at the business side
honestly, thank you for just being honest and not fluffing it out any more than needed
On point 100. Head down, content hat on. Focus on improvement and growth
At first it was hard to listen to but after a few minutes it all gelled, thanks Harris, now get some sleep and GL on the rest of the house
I imagine you hurt some feelings but that's the way it needs to be. It's so refreshing to hear someone just be realistic with everyone.
3:24 - Hey, just an annoying little thing, It's 51 viewers on the screen :D but I get it, tired is tired :D I almost wrote to a friend who's pretty new to this that he's almost in the top 1%
Also, I really like the way you talk about it, as always, great video!
I literally gave up my almost 3 year long goal of getting twitch partner to stream on youtube because I've been having WAYY more success over here and found an audience that is used to youtube streams (and all the monetary stuff that comes with them). As much as I didn't want to give up the fact that I could have gotten partner within a year, I made the really really tough choice to focus on my brand instead. Twitch partner is a badge and really nothing more besides extra emotes.
I thought you made a lot of good points here. Many of the questions you were answering, I had been thinking about as well. as a small streamer, I was watching several of the so-called large streamers saying you should never sign the affiliate contract because you get almost nothing out of it. While this may be true, I think you made a good point and also it made me think too that for some of us smaller streamers although the money will be very little it is better than nothing.
I agree with a lot of it, I tried to start with twitch but was not going anywhere, I switched over to concentrating on my gaming youtube channel which saw much better quicker success. Gaming was taking so much away from my kids though I backed off of it and went to concentrating on this cooking channel. I definitely wish I could make $15-20k a month off ad revenue but right now im more like $200 lol. I have been making more off Amazon affiliate and influencer honestly. I do hope to grow enough to make it full time eventually but for now I have to keep my day job.
i 100% agree from what you do, so many streamers expect to much and are angry they are not rich in afew weeks.
Many great points. A lot of streaming has already dried up and over the next year as people get to leave the house again the landscape might change again. As many mistakes as Twitch makes, them fixing their issues won't fix boring streams that no one watches. Not everyone can be a star, and if you're just a nice guy playing games that won't be enough.
I think tired Harris says what’s need to be said. Very straight forward and to the point (what the world needs)....with a dash of Harris humor and giggles thrown in
As for the point on the twitch brand friendliness score issue. It was less the concept of it existing and more the specifics, of it e.g. age was factored into the score, why(???) and there was a category for score at a twitch mods discretion which is SUPER unclear and subjective in an era when twitch is more and more failing to apply the same rules consistently
I'm a beginner when it comes to streaming just enjoying the journey and trying to learn as much as I can. I never really thought of it as a business but more as something to share my other passions. So watching your videos on UA-cam has given me some insightful information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and perspective with us.
Couldn’t agree more with this. Definitely one of the most important videos for smaller creators or those just starting out.
The last was the best one ! Thanks for sharing your experience and doing it so nicely 👍👍
First off, I agree with the entire video. Secondly I've worked in sales for about 14 years and, in regards to the last topic about signing sponsorships, the ratio between clients and sales is almost close to 1 out of every 30 clients that pay for a product.

Hey, Harris! I loved the "hot-take" style video. I liked the point you made about the brand scores and I agree that it is necessary for Twitch to provide value to advertisers. The problem that can arise is the racial bias and discrimination, towards certain communities (e.g. LGBTQ+), from heuristic and ML based processes. Although it will likely be an invaluable tool for Twitch, I think it's important that the Twitch community drives the platform to be ethical and equitable for all groups.
So Im not going to lie I love the whole vibe of this video. I honestly think tire Harris should do more of these videos. (Side not I agreed with everything you said, even had my journal out to take notes on things that I find super important and things that I will always need to remember). Sooo Thanks

Lol I remember watching you when you were at around 70k....And look at you now. Great job brother
10:15 This for most people just mean you'll get more ad revenue because ads running on your stream will be more relevant, therefore more expensive. Still AD on twitch sucks but if they do this correctly (and one step is targetting ads like youtube does) it's just positives, and I also mean by the user that will actually watch something that might be relevant.
looking forward to what you have in store harris, you never cease to amaze
