How can you use Streamloots to increase your income?
In this article, we’re going to explore several easy ways you can use to increase your Streamloots revenue. Got any ideas we forgot to mention? Be sure to leave them in the comment section!
1. Add a panel to the bottom of your channel
This is the simplest way to tell your followers where and how to locate your card collection. Check out the image below to see what we mean.
Want to use an image like that? We’ve created a Photoshop template to make your life easier. While you’re welcome to use any image you want, we’ve gathered some on your behalf. Click here to check them out. To add a panel to the bottom of your channel, hit the “Edit Panels” button. Select “Add a Panel of Text or Image,” and upload the image you wish to use. The final step is to add the link to your collection (in the field indicative of the image’s link) and voila! You’re done.
2. Add a Command in the Chat
Our most successful streamers are ready to share one of their biggest secrets with you: Adding commands to the chat feature. This allows viewers to request your collection. You can add commands like Chests, Streamloots or Cards. Show the URL of your collection and be sure to include a small description. For example:
“Hey! Take a look at my personalized card collection. You can buy chests with cards to use in the stream and win exclusive prizes. Visit www.StreamLoots.com/TuUsuarioDeTwitch for more.”
You can even use bots to automate this process. Why not check out Nightbot or Streamlabs Chatbot? Once you’ve started using commands, it’s a good idea to add each command to the stream title so that new viewers know it exists and can use it in the chat.
3. Add an automatic message to your chat
It’s simple, really. You only need to make the previous command activate every 4–5 minutes. This way, your followers can view it without even having to type a command. Tools such as Nightbot and Streamelements empower you with the ability to program these automatic messages quickly and easily.
4. Place an image on your screen that’s always visible
You can easily place an image on your screen using the panel template we sent you before. You are also welcome to use any of the images in the folder we gave you. Naturally, you’re not confined to this. You’re welcome to go wild and do things however you see fit. Ponycornyo is a prime example. Check out what she has done below:
5. Make a LIVE stream creating cards; and involve viewers for fresh ideas
Farweb was one of the first streamers to do it, along with TheKarma80. The possibilities are endless, and you too can enjoy them. TheKarmo80 made a live stream of this nature, and his viewers helped him to create his own cards. On the other end of the stick, Farweb made his own cards along with cards for other streamers too. He retransmitted everything on his Twitch channel.
6. Remember which cards you have
It’s important to note that new people enter your Twitch account all the time. Perhaps you knew that already. That’s why it’s so important to remember and take note of which cards are available. A large portion of your audience will know it, even if you explained this in detail a while back.
7. Make promotions (2x1) or advertise price reductions for a limited time
Want to boost your sales? Opting for this strategy is fine. However, if you want to rack in more revenue, you may want to listen to this advice first. Your viewers aren’t stupid. If you do this too often, they will always wait for an event of this nature before buying more chests for less money. Make sure you do this as a once-in-a-blue-moon occasion. Something rare and extraordinary. It shouldn’t be a “given”.
Maybe you want to bid 2x1 on chests. In this case, you’ll have to manually provide the extra chests. If, however, you wish to get a discount on the price of the chests, you can do so by simply reducing the price and using a dash of creativity.
8. Draw boxes to increase your channel’s size, and view card examples to redeem them
It’s crucial to ensure that your viewers can try your product out for real, regardless of how good your explanation is. This is particularly important at the beginning. This way, you can use your launch day (or anytime later on) to get some chests or even give them away to each person who follows your channel. This is also an easy way to increase your follower count. Although, you need to tread carefully. Don’t fill your channel with people who will only go for freebies, and not actual content. Reward people in moderation, and the results will speak for themselves.
9. After some time has passed, create expansions with new cards
As is the case with any video game relying on cards, you must use strategies that re-engage people to re-use your platform. Why not create an expansion of new cards every 2–3 months? It’s a good idea to have a badge on your channel that makes it clear which ones are from the first season, and which are from the second.
See those little ducks in the top left-hand corners? Those indicate that the cards are from the second season. We’re sure that new cards have occurred to you, or your visitors have contributed their own ideas.
10. Are You Paying Attention To the Card Alerts?
The chances are high that you have already fulfilled this, but just in case, here’s some more information. When you exchange a card, the goal is to capture the attention of the streamer. There’s little that feels as bad as them failing to pay attention to you when you do this. That’s why it’s important to make a comment (or similar action) each time an alert comes out of the cards on the screen. It’s a smart way to exchange more cards, and ultimately, make more sales.
