12 Streams of Income for Streamers

This spotlight shines on Katliente. Your “Twitch Big Sister.”

You may know her from TikTok. Or saw that she just won Top Educator of The Year.

But if you don’t know her, she loves to help people grow their streams and have fun in the process.

Well, she posted a YouTube video breaking down her 12 sources of income as a livestreamer. Why?

She wants to share potential income sources you may be able to take advantage of yourself, along with estimated earnings.

Let’s break it down:

1. Twitch: Her main stage for streaming. In March 2022, with an average of 108 viewers, Katliente earned about $1,200 per month from viewer donations and regular payouts.

2. Social Media Internship: Katliente honed her skills through a paid internship at Dignitas, crafting content and managing social media channels.

3. Boba-themed Online Shop: She briefly ran a boba-themed merchandise store, bobatholism, though she moved on due to the operational headaches.

4. Patreon: Offers personal coaching and exclusive content, nurturing a close-knit community of supporters.

5. Etsy Shop: Her digital artwork, including emotes and stream overlays, brings in around $4,000 monthly. Watch her Etsy shop setup to learn more.

6. Sponsorships: She actively collaborates with brands, creating engaging content for her social platforms, fostering both visibility and additional revenue streams.

7. Redbubble: While she experienced some challenges, such as art theft, Redbubble contributed to her income with $50-$100 monthly.

8. YouTube Ad Revenue: Regular video uploads boost her earnings, which average $150 per month from ads.

9. Commissions: Custom graphic designs for clients vary, with earnings between $50-$1,000 monthly.

10. Investments and Dividends: Katliente smartly invests in stocks and index funds, drawing quarterly dividends.

11. Partnership with OWN3D: She collaborates on projects to enhance stream coaching and video production.

12. TikTok: While it’s a smaller income stream, live donations and tips during streams do add up.

Overall, Katliente’s diverse income sources tallied up to a monthly range of $5,450 to $7,500 as of March 2022. Or a yearly range of $65,400 to $90,000.

Her most profitable venture, the Etsy shop, exemplifies the power of passive income—once the digital art is created and listed, it generates revenue with minimal ongoing management.

This strategy allows her to maximize her earning potential while focusing on new projects and content creation.

By diversifying her income streams, Katliente not only cushions herself against the unpredictability of any single source but also sets an inspiring example for livestreamers everywhere.

It’s clear that her success is not by chance, but by design.

For anyone looking to emulate her success, the key takeaway is clear: diversify your efforts, invest in your skills, and don't be afraid to innovate.
