I've long wanted to make a video that covers the world of ads on Twitch and Youtube. Of all questions around content creation, how much money creators make off Youtube and Twitch ads are one of the most confusing. So I'm going to try to do an okay job of explaining how much youtube pays per 1000 views, and how much Twitch pays per 1000 views.   

How Twitch streamers make money from ads is a confusing topic I've never seen anyone delve well into. Streamers don't have an idea of how much money they can make from ads, or if it's even a viable career path to make money from ads as a streamer.   In this video we breakdown CPM and how it is effected by market demand. The ad systems are different across Twitch and Youtube. It's a long and technical video, but my goal in this video is to give a basic overview of ads and how they work. After watching this video you should have a good understanding of how streamers and Youtubers make money from ads.

Today I want to talk about possibly the BIGGEST Change Coming to Twitch that somehow a ton of people missed!   Sara Clemens, aka the COO of Twitch, has announced her resignation 6 months in advance. This is a big change for Twitch and could lead to further change down the line. Sara Clemens was hired as Twitch COO in 2018 and is responsible for steering Twitch in the direction of developing key features like Twitch Clips and has led massive monetization overhauls for Twitch Streamers. With Sara Clemens resignation announcement from her position as COO of Twitch we could see a massive shift in the direction Twitch takes going forward.    

I wanted to talk about how the changes at an executive level at Twitch may effect Twitch streamers. The changes Twitch is making will effect streamer income, how streamers make money, and the next 6-12 months of streaming on Twitch. If you are trying to grow a Twitch channel, you will want to watch this video. I don't think Twitch will fail, or is in any danger of shutting down. The changes coming to Twitch will change how small content creators grow and stream on Twitch.

I've been trying to quit social media forever. It feels like I try a social media detox every few months and always end up going back. I wanted to make a video about why I quit social media but also how I quit social media. I finally found a set of techniques to leave social media. I tried leaving for short amounts of time, like not using social media for 30 days. That didn't work.   

I've never completely understood how much unhappiness social media caused in me until I was able to step back from it. I had to find reinforcing positive behaviors to replace the negative triggers of it. Happy to report a 20-30% increase in mental health and happiness as a result of stepping back from consuming the stuff. It's given me more motivation, an increase in productivity, and driven better results in my business and relationships.

Today I’ll be talking about the long awaited Twitch Regional Pricing. Twitch announced  their plans to implement Regional Subscription Prices back in May and they’re finally here. Regional Pricing, sometimes called Localized Pricing or Pricing Localization, basically adjusts the price of a product or service based on the purchasing power of a region or territory. Twitch’s Regional Pricing Changes may see creators experiencing income dips as it initially rolls out. However, the Twitch Pricing Localization will allow for a greater number of users to afford a Twitch Subscription, meaning in the long run Twitch Streamers will see their channels Gaining More Subscribers overall. These Twitch Subscription Changes and Sub Price Changes may seem jarring. Twitch switching to local pricing has many implications. Will Twitch streamers make less money? Make you more money Twitch streaming? This video answers if Twitch streamers will make more or less money from subscription pricing changes.   

So if you’re interested in learning more about how Twitch Regional/Localized Pricing might help Grow Your Twitch Stream, make sure to watch until the end!

About two months ago I made the decision to step away from streaming on Twitch until the website improved its practices around the twitch gambling problem, cryptocurrency scams and sexual content. I wanted to make a video talking about why I made the decision I did.  

This is an issue I’ve spoken about on previous streams and videos, but in today’s video I’m going to explain Why I’ve Lost Faith in Twitch. Ranging from the rampant Gambling Streams, Hot Tub Streams, ASMR Streams, and Crypto Scam streams, I no longer want to be associated with the platform that supports that kind of content. These Gambling Streams, ASMR Streams, Hot Tub Streams, and Crypto Streams are actively harming Twitch, as advertisers don’t want their ads to be on that kind of content.   

As for my absence, I’ve been focusing on personal life, my company and what kind of content I want to do going forward. Whether that’s focusing more on How to Grow a YouTube Channel, How to Grow a Twitch Stream, or more on business oriented content, I’m not quite sure. However I know when I come back the content will be even higher value than before.  Thank you for sticking around and enjoying the content!

Today I sit down and explain how Twitch Bans Ads from Top Streamers, and Why Your Favorite Streamer is Next. Twitch Recently Decided to Ban Ads from Top Streamer Amouranth, this was done Manually by Twitch and opens up many implications that could potentially Ban Ads from your Favorite Top Streamer Next. This is a scary issue as Twitch has a manual ad system, meaning any Ads served on Twitch will be played across all Streamers, ranging from Top Streamers like Ludwig, xQc, Shroud, TommyInnit, etc, as well as smaller streamers. And with the Hot Tub Meta recently taking over Twitch your Favorite Streamer Could Be Next for having Ads Banned from their Channel.   

If you are a Streamer, YouTuber, or Content Creator in general, Twitch’s actions should worry you and make you question their viability as a Content Creator Platform, and Streamer Platform. Removal of a major Revenue Source from Top Streamers out of the blue like this is extremely worrying, almost like YouTube’s own AdPocalypse. If you want to learn How To Grow your Twitch Channel, or How To Grow your YouTube Channel, watch this video and discover whether Twitch is the platform for you

Today on stream I talked about Are Hot Tub Streams Ruining Twitch? The Hot Tub Meta has the potential to bring down Twitch as a whole because Twitch lacks a Variable-Ad-System like YouTube. The problem with the Hot Tub Meta is that Advertisers see this content and paint Twitch as a non-advertiser friendly website, lowering Twitch Ad CPMs across Twitch. This could have future ramifications as well, as lowered Twitch Ad CPMs could lead to worse Twitch Subscriber Split rates for Twitch Partners and Twitch Affiliates.   

I also talk about how the Hot Tub Meta streamers are more often than not trying to push their audiences to Off Platform Paid Subscription Services such as OnlyFans and Patreon. As you know, I always support converting your Audience to an Off Platform Subscription Service such as Patreon, especially if you’re a Growing Twitch Streamer. I laid out how to set up a Patreon in my Exactly How to Make $5000+ a Month with Patreon video, and better explain the splits between different Off Platform Subscription services in my Twitch is a Pimp video. Both Exactly How to Make $5000+ a Month with Patreon and Twitch is a Pimp videos are extremely useful for Growing Content Creators looking to Make Money on Twitch, Make Money on YouTube or Make Money Creating Content in general.

There's just been a huge update in the ongoing shadow battle going on between music companies and Twitch. Twitch has announced a major deal between themselves and the NMPA. But what does this deal mean for creators and viewers of the website? That's what we explore today.   

Twitch has had notorious problems with DMCA takedowns and via major record labels and streamers using music they don't have the rights to in their streams. This has resulted in a lot of discussion about streamers getting banned from Twitch for DMCA and DMCA related requests. I've created multiple resources for broadcasters and viewers to find DMCA-free music, including a Discord channel with thousands of DMCA free community submitted lists. You can also use a service like PretzelRocks that gives you DMCA free music.  

The Twitch DMCA issues are not likely to stop and yes - streamers are still in danger. Understand Twitch DMCA rules and Twitch DMCA explained. My hope is this video clarifies the NMPA and Twitch deal and brings the truth about on the subject.

I had the opportunity to give a Keynote Talk at the Cal State University Alliance. The Keynote focuses on the Future of Content Creation, The Future of Esports, How to Get a Job in the Esports Industry, How to Get a Job in the Gaming Industry, and How to Become a Content Creator. Many of these jobs will likely be in tertiary and adjacent industries as marketers, chefs, video editors, and other secondary support roles. I also give advice on How to Get a Job in the eSports Industry as a College Graduate, How to Become a Content Creator as a College Graduate and How to Grow a Twitch Stream or How To Grow a Youtube Channel.  

Cal State was kind enough to give me 30 minutes to help their students learn How to Get a Job in Esports, and How to Grow an Audience as a content creator. I was able to share my experiences as the former CEO of CLG, Counter Logic Gaming, and when I ran the League of Legends team, Team Dignitas.   

If you’re interested in learning How To Grow a Twitch Stream, How To Grow a YouTube Channel, or Get a Job in the Esports Industry, you’ve come to the right Keynote.
