About Twitch Affiliate & Partner
Twitch's monetization programs let streamers earn through subscriptions, Bits (virtual tips), and ad revenue. Affiliates receive 50% of subscription revenue, while high-performing Partner Plus members can earn up to 70%. Bits are a virtual tipping currency worth about $0.01 per Bit. Viewers purchase them and send them to streamers during live broadcasts. Creators also earn from ads shown during their streams. To become an Affiliate, you need 50 followers, 500 minutes broadcast, 7 unique broadcast days, and 3 average viewers (all within 30 days). Partner status requires higher metrics and an application process.
