Tipping & Gifts

Platforms like Twitch also have a tipping system built in. Some influencers will even utilize special incentives to tip, such as displaying their message on the screen, or playing a funny sound, or even integrating suggestions into the stream. There isn’t a limit to how you can get adoring fans to support your work, whether you’re streaming video, creating art or music, or even running a informative podcast.

Lastly, while not exactly influencer-driven revenue, content creators can also sell their own work and merchandise to supplement their wages. We don’t necessarily consider this the same as influencer earnings since you’d be providing a secondary service (like artwork commissions) but it is worth keeping an eye on the possibilities given many influencers become famous by creating interesting and exciting content. If you’re specializing in art or music, selling merchandise might even outpace advertising revenue!
