Twitch Travel Tab Category -(For virtually travelling the world)+Pay per hour!
Dear twitch company, I have an idea for you to improve the quality of life for
Twitch company and its users. It offers a new solution that allows much more views across all your cams, the new benefit of pay per hour streaming and my idea also offers the benefit of opening up the field of advertising without being intrusive. It also would greatly increase entertainment value by adding a new thing to do while using twitch!
The Twitch trickle feed advertising system
For this idea to work we need a new fun travel category section on twitch
First part of Idea - (New Twitch Travel Category)
If you had a way to categorize all the webcams
on twitch to Countries/Cities/Towns/areas as a separate
feature, users of twitch will want to travel virtually the world
of twitch webcams to see the people of the world as if being on holiday.
This new Travel feature should make it easier for streamers to
gai views because of the nature of how travelling works in the real
world. If you want to see who is playing music in Bulgaria you click
on Bulgaria. If you want to see who is dancing in Tokyo, you click
on dancing in Tokyo etc, etc.
This new feature would allow more entertainment value to the twitch
viewer and allow for an easier way for all streamers to get views as
an additional feature in a tab on Twitch main page.
This new category feature also allows an opportunity for trickle pay for
all streamers and a way for all worlds bloggers/site owners and businesses
to get cheap advertising.
Tab idea - On the main Twitch site on the left you could have the words
Twitchtravel with a logo of an aircraft at the end to make it seem an
interesting area to click on on twitch.
Next keeping the bits system as it is for streamers, especially pros I have
a new way to pay per hour every streamer using twitch through
a type of advertising I call trickle stream advertising and will work well
with the new Twitch travel zone cateogry ive just explained about above.
Let us look into this more
Second part of idea - (pay per hour per streamer idea)
If it were possible for streamers when live to have a
thin area at the very bottom of the feed for small news
like banner that feeds mini adverts quickly one after the other,
you can stream and be paid per hour every time you stream.
The mini banner system I talk of is used on Tv news sites and can be non intrusive to the stream quality by keeping the news banner as thin as
possible. The adverts must be quick and short to work properly so you can
have up to 50 ad running at one time per stream which keeps the news banner stream fresh too.
Let us say you had 50 quick adverts running in your
news banner in succession while you stream. You can charge an
advertiser at £0.05 per hour for non stop
streaming wichh works out only £36 to each advertiser for up to month
long adverts.
Thats a lot of cheap advertising for a whole month of non stop ads!
The streamer would get £0.04p x 50 ads which is £2
per hour stream ongoing regular cash and at 8 hours
streaming gives them £112 income which is good for
poorer countries worldwide and a good incentive to
stream more on twitch. No longer do you need to rely
solely on bits and every streamer should benefit.
Twitch company
of course would make £0.01 per hour profit per streamer which is nice.
Now on to two ways to make the advertising work
Third part of idea - (Twitch sub page advertising)
You could set up a twitch subpage for world wide
companies/bloggers and site owners users to offer advertising
to streamers for their websites and blogs at the above hourly rates. (Over time
it could become a known place to go for world advertising if it worked.)
Now this sub page advertisers can ask streamers to use their adverts on their
news banners at pay per hour prices.
The subpage would become a sort of database of advertising for all
streamers to use on their feeds. All the streamer has to do
now is simply click on the ads it wants running from the list of advertisers and then the news banner feeds quick mini ads while the streamer streams. This
new subpage area of course by its nature would have a limit of ads available
initially but would improve once it gets known worldwide. Also Twitch users
could offer advertising here for their blogs/sites and businesses as well, maximising adverts available.
A point to note regarding the subpage advert limitations
If you used the Travel category system on twitch I mentioned initially, the adverts on the news banners could be localized around the world by getting streamers to connect to people in their local area to create the advertising for their news banners on the bottom of their streams. The advertising would be then be localized and unique to each streamer on twitch, overcoming the limitations of the subpage system.
Lets look into one way for localized advertising to work
Fourth part of idea - (Localized twitch leaflets)
Trickle income benefits every streamer with ongoing pay per hour income but it needs advertisers to work. To maximise the amounts of adverts for the mini news banners, the streamers can do a small twitch ad leaflet drop to their neighbours with twitch leaflets, they can suggest Twitch streaming to others, tell them about their streams and also show customers the advertising system allowing people around their neighbourhood the chance to advertise their own blogs, sites and businesses on the news banner ads on their Twitch stream.
By doing small leaflet drops streamers in each area of the
world benefit from collecting advertising from people in the local area for blogs,
sites, local businesses, and new streamers. If every streamer did this, every streamer benefits from localized adverts on their mini news banner on thier streams.
You could have a pdf template on Twitch for a
barebone leaflet that can be edited by each streamer for printing a few leaflets.
That is the brunt of my idea and it sounds like it could work and benefit.
I see this idea as a great way for streamers to be paid per hour.
I see this as a great opportunity to meet the people of the world and their talents while using Twitch.
I see this as a fresh way to be entertained as a twitch user and also a great way
for worlds advertising to increase, especially seeing as nowadays it is better
for us to work at home due to coronavirus.
I also see this as a great way for more streamers to get more views instead of being stuck at the bottom of a long scrolled page due to streamer numbers on twitch.
Finally for Twitch Company at 0.01p per hour profit per streamer, you get a fine bunch of income for your company too if this all worked out.
Please feel free to use this idea to improve the quality of lives around the globe
and the value of Twitch Company
I hope this idea sounds good for you and benefits the future of twitch company.
