Having multiple revenue streams for your stream.
If streaming full time is your goal then you are going to need multiple revenue streams. Even the most successful streamers will have multiple sources of income. If we Twitch shut down tomorrow and that was your only revenue stream what would you do? Twitch should not be the main hub of your content your website should be. Your website is another source of traffic for your brand.  While on the subject of revenue streams here’s one now; affiliate sales. To set up a website you will need hosting, head to N64Josh.com/hosting purchase a hosting package. I will make a commission off of your purchase. That is an affiliate link which means if you click it and purchase with in the next 20- 40 days I will make my commission. Pat Flynn from SmartPassiveIncome.com makes around 50k-100k a month just on his hosting affiliate link. Once you have a hosting package you will need to install WordPress and create your site. I created my site with a theme that cost me around $80. I will be making a video walking through the process in the near future it’s far less difficult than you would think. We will dive into having a website next week but for now, let’s talk about revenue streamsÂ
