How to Become a Twitch Affiliate & Partner
Streaming is one of the most popular and latest trends in the gaming niche, although streamers are trying their best to take it to the next level by converting this hobby into full time or part-time job. No doubt, Twitch is the best platform to make this dream come true. It is the most prominent live broadcasting medium for all type of streamers.
Recently, Twitch has launches two programs, which can provide massive advantages to streamers.
How to become a Twitch Affiliate
The first program is the Twitch Affiliate program; however, to participate in it, you have to be a qualified streamer. Let us discuss how a streamer can qualify for Twitch Affiliate Program.

- To be an Affiliate 7 different broadcast days are required in the last 30 days.

To become a Twitch Affiliate, it is necessary to achieve all the above requirements within 30 days. After completing each element, a checkbox will appear in front of the achievements. However, all the requirements should fulfill within 30 days. Otherwise, you are not qualified as a Twitch Affiliate.

Those streamers who will complete the requirements successfully will be redirected to the onboarding process. Complete the onboarding process officially, and the Path to Affiliate panel will appear. The panel will give you the good news that you have become a Twitch Affiliate. Maybe for many users, the qualifying phase is more like an effort phase.
