Twitch and its spectacular business model
In General, Video games are considered as
solitary engagements for most of the gamers, or
at the most one can engage others in multiplayer
games modes. However, in reality things are
totally different. A very large number of people
love to watch others play games and this is
something nobody realised in the past. However,
only some select individuals knew about the idea
of viewers watching gameplay in the early days of
video gaming. This is where Twitch comes in. the
business model that Twitch has works on the
addictive appeal of video gaming personalities
and the viewers who want to watch all of these
games and are willing to pay for watching the
same.
How Does Twitch Work? Twitch is owned by Amazon
and it is a popular online service that
broadcasts live or pre-recorded videos of
gameplays which viewers can watch. A player who
is broadcasting the same can also have audio
commentary alongside which most of the players
opt for.

The video of the broadcasterusually appears on
the corner of the screen being streamed via a
webcam, and since there is a chat feature also,
viewers can comment or ask questions while the
game is being played. There is no limit to what
is being broadcasted and almost every video game
of any genre can be broadcasted and viewed on
Twitch. Twitch also hosts some really amazing
E-tournaments where a large number of players
fight it out for millions of other viewers to
watch with live commentary and news and also
hosts events and demos of new upcoming games. All
of it is like an arena but only a virtual
one. How Does Twitch Make Money? In the whole
process, Twitch makes money by advertising and
through subscription fees. A large number of
advertisers which may include gaming companies,
gaming portals, game developers, and game event
organizers who wish to get a piece out of the
highly targeted audience-base who are practically
addicted to video games. All these advertisers
are willing to pay top dollar for having a share
of the pie.

On the other hand, Twitch has a revenue-sharing
model with which the broadcasters have an
attractive option to make money while they
showcase their talent and this brings lots of
talented gamers to its platform. Gamers in turn
want to gain more and more Twitch followers to
earn more and this ultimately results in
increased revenue and viewership on Twitch. How
Do Twitch Users Make Money? Twitch has a Twitch
Partnership Program with which Twitch
broadcasters can apply, and are enabled to get a
cut from the advertisement and subscription
revenue which is received by Twitch. One requires
approval for getting acceptance into the program,
which is based on certain requirement. These
requirements are simple like having a minimum
number of viewers, and a minimum of broadcasts
per week. For getting accepted, a lot of
broadcasters make sure that they gain more Twitch
followers and be part of the bigger game.
