If you’re a Creator that Live Streams you understand below are the main ways you can monetize while Streaming.

  • Subscriptions
  • Tips
  • Gifts
  • Ad Revenue

You can find these strategies on platforms like:

  • Twitch
  • Youtube

Instagram requires you to have at least 10k followers. TikTok requires you to have at least 1000 followers.

These guidelines can be a huge roadblock especially small/medium sized Creators like myself. I was trying to become a Creator on Youtube for a year, putting in 20–30 hours a week creating content. After a year, I never hit Youtube’s guidelines. I couldn’t believe after putting in hours and hours of work and having over 1,600 Subscribers I never made a cent from Youtube.

  • Creators have to put in countless hours in order to see any type of ROI from these Live Streaming platforms. Which is the main reason why you’re hearing a lot of Creators saying they’re getting burned out.

Creators on Twitch & Youtube have to keep their subscribers subscribed. Creators on Instagram & TikTok have to keep posting in order to grow their community and keep their existing community.

What if Creators didn’t have to rely on subscriptions, tips, badges, gifts, ad revenue, etc as a way of monetizing?

Introducing, Clava.
