The best live streaming sponsorship programme you've never heard of!

I have been using this programme for a few months now, and I have found it so helpful. However, before we delve into what InStreamly does so well, we first need to discuss other sponsorship programmes we have already heard of.

Is StreamElements really the only choice?

The biggest one, of course, is StreamElements. It offers sponsorships for mobile games and provides the maximum payout for each one. For most small-time streamers, this sounds like an incredible opportunity! However, most people will have a small number of followers who attempt to reach specific goals to help the streamer with the payout from their sponsor.

Some of the goals also include having streamer followers purchase specific packs or other microtransactions. You, the streamer, will also be asked to buy some of these to promote them. They get told they'll get their money back, but that's not always the case. The programme can be misleading and is predatory behaviour.

If you want to learn more about StreamElements from another streamer's perspective, then take a look at Stream Scheme's YouTube video, which explains a lot more!

Enter InStreamly, the better, more ethical sponsorship programme

InStreamly offers a variety of sponsorship programmes, some based on viewership, and some will ask viewers to fill out surveys. None of them requires the streamer or their viewers to pay out any money or hit specific in-game goals, which is terrific.

It works on Twitch, YouTube, and Kick. You can even multistream to all platforms. InStreamly will determine which view originates from where and track all clicks on the recurring messages it sends.

All sponsorships are region-based, which means you will have to keep an eye out. They have a Discord channel where they regularly update the list of available sponsorships by region.

InStreamly is a European-based company, so its currency is Euros. However, they can send money to any supported country (including the UK and the US). You will have to convert this into your local currency.

That's great, but where do I start?

If this sounds like the platform you've been looking for, then you can register using your Twitch, YouTube or Kick accounts. Once registered with your platform of choice, you can add other platforms if you stream elsewhere or use multiple streams.

They have an overlay, which you will need to add to your OBS scenes. This allows InStreamly to display the sponsorships over your livestreams. They are unobtrusive and are entirely silent. You'll hardly notice them!

Of course, each sponsorship animation will be different, and you can preview them before applying. Once you have added the overlay to your OBS scenes, you can then run the test animation to view it working. InStreamly will then confirm the connection is correct, and you can start applying for sponsorships. However, they might not be available immediately, and you'll need to continue checking for sponsorships that are a good fit for you.

What is the money like?

I only average 1-3 viewers per stream, and so far, I have made €5.41. This has come from a mix of view-based and survey-based sponsors.

Currently, I haven't had a payout, as I need to reach €25 to withdraw the money from my sponsorships.

Level up your income!

You can also level up to gain income multipliers. Levelling up involves streaming. The more you stream, the more you level up! The level goes all the way up to 40, which means you can earn 40% on top of your normal sponsorship income if you reach it.

Another thing you can do to level up is create clips. Clips are made during a sponsorship animation, and you give them a nice shoutout with a few words on what the sponsor is. If potential sponsors like your clips, then you will be more likely to win them over when applying.

InStreamly, the more ethical choice

As you can see, Instreamly is a much more ethical and better choice for streamers looking to gain sponsorships. If you're looking for a simple, more ethical sponsorship platform, then I feel InStreamly is the right choice for so many people. You can register with my link and gain €10 in your account.

If you know of any other platforms that could help, then please let me know in the comments. I would love to see more and help out fellow content creators and streamers. Streamlabs is another choice, but it is limited to their Streamlabs programme, and at current, you can't implement it with OBS or Meld.
