Shlorox is a very special case. The streamer has only a relatively small community on Twitch, but they are extremely generous. The last 30 days have gone particularly well for him, as he has risen from rank 19 to rank 6 worldwide, although he is still a good distance from his “all-time high”.
He has 46,516 subscriptions, which amounts to €93,000.
Hourly wage: €612. Rank 6 worldwide.
What should be noted about the hourly wage? The hourly wage is simplified and takes into account only the time that streamers are live on air. Working hours spent on organization, administration, or promotional appointments are not included here.
Moreover, Twitch subscriptions also constitute only a part of the income. The actual work involved, as well as the actual revenue, are both likely to be significantly higher. We are only depicting part of the business model and daily life of the streamers here.
What stands out: Streamers like Papaplatte and EliasN97 have huge communities. This is how one can earn money on Twitch. However, it is also possible to earn a lot of money with a much smaller community, as the numbers show – especially if one has found and occupied their niche early on, like Sintica. She is the top earner by hourly wage with only “2,000 average viewers”.
It is clear, however, that “big streamers” like Papaplatte and EliasN97 have even more income through advertising deals and other sources, primarily YouTube.
It should also be clear that the streamers and streamers presented here are exceptions; most streamers on Twitch earn nothing or almost nothing: How much money do “normal” Twitch streamers earn? Who can “live well” off Twitch?
