Partner Applications

Hello, my name is Maria and my username is: maryalley.

I've been streaming since February 2019 approximately, and I'm really happy with my community because it's growing continuously. I can say that I have a very loyal and active audience in my chat. I sent the request recently and It was denied. Right now I have 2,588 followers and 25,303 views, I stream a minimum of 5 days a week and 3 hours a day. I always tell my followers when I won't stream. I really care about my community because I want them have a good time! I meet the minimum requirements. In the email denial I was told to improve the description of my channel, my social networks and the look of the brand. I rectified as soon as possible everything and I left it as professional as possible in order to be admitted in the next request. What I don't see well is the wait time for requesting again. I would like to have the possibility of a second review and to be told where I could improve and not. I think it is necessary for the streamer to know where it is failing and be able to correct everything. I can't resubmit a request in 70 days, but I think I meet all the requirements right now. I'm always playing a variety of games, so I understand that we have to have an average of 20-40 viewers. And the truth is that I comply with them.

I keep saying please contact me and rectify my application as soon as possible and I can be a member of such a fantastic community as Mixer. Both I and my audience are looking forward to it. Thank you very much for your time but try to give me the solution.

Greetings.

Hello, I'm OgSavageKitty and I'm going to try to keep this short. I started streaming since Oct (7 months ago). I currently have 12,322 followers and 119,547 views. I applied for partnership 5/5/19 and got a response on 5/9/19. I and my community believe that I have been reviewed unfairly. I have everything that Mixer is looking for in a partnered streamer. Community building and engagement are the reasons I got denied which bewilders me. I have an extensive, and loyal community. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be how far I am right now! They always ask me when can they sub, and have been saving sparks for me. I make sure I communicate with everyone in the stream, and actively speak to the audience. As far as to spark engagement I do have interactive buttons, but they only cost one spark. I disable all sparks that cost more than 5,000, and I tell all my viewers that use sparks on me to save them because they only benefit partner streamers.
When I was under review I only streamed and had VOD on for 3 days. Sunday I streamed Fortnite and was averaging 50-75 viewers like yall ask for in popular games. Monday I streamed GTA averaging 45viewers, and Thursday I streamed GTA and Overwatch averaging 30 viewers. "Partners should be leading the pack in their genre, as a general rule. You don't have to be in the top 5 (though if you are, please reach out to us!), " Which I do achieve whenever I stream GTA, Overwatch, or street fighter. I feel like I honestly got denied because I don't have a face cam and I'm not the only one who thinks that. That's the only real reason I can think of. If that's true then that's completely unethical. I know that there are partner streamers that don't have a face cam, but I don't know any that have gotten partner within the past couple months that stream the games that I do like Fortnite for an example. Just because I don't have a face cam does not mean I am any less professional or don't plan on getting one. The main thing that truly disturbs me is that I HAVE TO WAIT 90 DAYS TO REAPPLY?!?! Especially during summertime which is the most important time for streamers?! This is my 3rd time applying and this is the only time where I felt the most confident about applying, and the most I ever had to wait to reapply was for 30 days so why 90 now?
I take streaming very seriously, I put nothing but love and time into my channel and I know other streamers do too! I feel like I am a joke, I'm not being taking seriously even those I overachieved the requirements, and that I'm wasting my time even writing this, but if I'm not I ask if a different reviewer takes another look at my VOD, and to change the partnership process! I still have some hope, and If anything good can come from this I suggest adding back the appeal process and adding a more comprehensive email as to why the streamer was denied to prevent these unpleasant experiences we have to go through. The generic email response you receive when you get denied needs to go away altogether, or at least for those who have applied multiple times. We deserve personalized feedback. I also recommend that followers can present a reference on why they think that streamer should be partnered when they apply for partnership.
The picture below shows VOD my analytics when streaming during the review, and streaming last month( mostly streamed GTA) and thank you to those who have taking the time out and reading this.

I'm OgSavageKitty and there has been clearly a huge mistake here! I haven't stream Fortnite ONCE in the past 2 months! (but when I use to I never got this "audience growth" before because my CCU was fine) I have been only streaming Overwatch which is not a top 10 game, and when I stream Overwatch I am in the top 5. "Partners should be leading the pack in their genre, as a general rule. You don't have to be in the top 5 (though if you are, please reach out to us!)" which I have. I already email them and they said to write a feedback on here which I really didn't want to resort back to.

Hi,

Recently I was denied for partnership (and I am OK with it).

What I felt was a bit rough was the reason.

As I usually play Realm Royale or Paladins, the minimum required CCU for those games to be considered for partnership is 30+

I live in New Zealand (GMT +12/+13) when I start streaming at 9pm it is 4am EST and 8am GMT. 80% of Mixers viewer population is asleep or commuting to school/work where some are unable to view Mixer streams.

Considering I have peak at 70+ for Paladins and 40+ Realm for, I have been doing really well.

I am consistently in the top 5 of the Realm/Paladins category, and have been in the #1 spot frequently with less than the required average.

That said, there are partners streaming Realm/Paladins during this time who are not meeting 30+ CCV for the same reason.

I really think timezones (and similar considerations) need to be taken into consideration when reviewing partnership applications.

It's not an apples for apples comparison when you are being measured aginst streams that are streaming these games during Mixer "prime time" when the majority of viewers are consuming the site.

Thoughts?

Hello Mixer and community, I was a little upset with the new Mixer requirement that got released. I have been streaming for almost 2 years and with 11,800 follows and really wanted to be part of the Mixer Partnership Program. So, the new requirement is saying I have to be eight-teen and that will take 5 more years until I can be a partner. Also, I am upset since I feel like I am missing out on all the new things and just not special or good to be a broadcaster. It also took Mixer 17 days for a response for my application to be reviewed and nothing about my review process. Please remove this requirement. Thanks, Owen

Hi Mixer,

My Streaming name is DannyZooko86 and I applied for partner 5 days ago. I was informed I did not have enough viewers in my channel at the time of review and that I should be leading the top of the catagory.

Now I am a Paladins Streamer, I dont know if you have noticed but out of the top 8 streams no 1 is the paladins channel and then the next 5 - 6 are 24/7 farming stream in which combined have over 1100 viewers sitting in the channels talking about f2f and I even saw someone put a twitch handle for people to go to.

So how can I get past these, all these people are doing theoretically are pretty much denying all the other streamers of getting viewers. They are not even playing the game which makes it worse, just music and writing that's all you get.

I am usually in top 8 of live streamers with viewers on average about 20-30 in which is very good for a non partnered streamer. So in theory taking out the 5-6 farming streams, I am in the top 3 of live streams.

Even if I dont get an appeal out of this I am hoping you see that farming streams hurt content creators from having a shot at partner on Mixer and it takes away potential new viewers in streams, making it more difficult to meet requirements.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message and I am hoping for a turn of decision or a response from you guys giving an explanation.

No this is not a rant about being denied Partnership for the 4th time, it is a request that Honesty and Transparency be brought to the Partnership Program, this request is based on FACTS, and publicly available analytics.

1) My first partnership application I meet all CCU requirements, but was denied for "not having graphics in my profile" Which is not even a published requirement, and BTW I did have graphics.

2) My second and third applications were denied for not meeting the minimum CCU requirements, and in both denials a specific CCU was quoted as what was needed, and according to the stats sent back to me by Mixer I missed those requirements by 1,

3) my fourth application I was denied for not meeting CCU. Which by the data is obviously not the reason for denial.

Mixer announces NEW partners every week on the LevelUpCast, when comparing my CCU to other channels partnered in the same review period my CCU is higher than most of these channels.

For example my 30 day CCU for this period was 38, however one person was partnered with a 30 day CCU of 19 a 14 day CCU of 16 which is actually below the published ABSOLUTE minimum of a Partnership application, which is a CCU of 20.

Almost all the other channels partnered in the same period had a CCU of 30 to 36 still lower than my CCU for the same review period.

So in summary I met all CCU requirements on my first application on my 4th application I met the specific CCU requirements laid out in Denial 2 and 3 by Mixer Staff.

I had a CCU greater than 70% of the approved channels in the same review period as my channel, most of the other channels were transfers from other platforms of streamers with very high followers, for example one channel was partnered in this period that never streamed on Mixer but has a YT Channel with over 100k followers.

I have been on Mixer for one year, have over 10,000 followers, I am ranked 892nd in followers on Mixer according to Socialblade, meaning I have more followers than hundreds of already partnered channels.

I consistently I have a higher CCU than hundreds of currently Partnered Channels, and again a higher CCU than other channels partnered in the same time period as my applications.

So I have to ask to please provide full transparency and honesty in the partnership application process, because being denied for a low CCU, does not make sense when analyzing all CCU metrics for my channel against other channels.

And since the appeal process has been removed, there is no way for a streamer to open a dialog with Mixer, to discuss these concerns.

Thank you,
MrPanda417

The current Partner requirements are fantastic. It's something to work for. 2,000 followers is easily obtainable if you're willing to put in the work.

I think personally having Mixer Affiliate program would also benefit Mixer as more people may come to the platform.

Here is what I'd like to see the Affiliate program requirements at;
2 months old account
500 or 1000 followers
7 unique days per month
15 hours per month

Being monetized shouldn't be handed out easily. You have to put in work. I know a lot of people are going to say otherwise but why should Mixer give out such exclusivity for people who aren't going to put in the hours and work.

Hi all, I am LandoCalstonian and I feel like I was recently unfairly denied for partnership on the grounds of my "Channel Details". The denied email went on to explain that I needed a channel description, a schedule, and links to my social in my channels info. Ill post pictures to prove otherwise. Regardless of the denied application. I truly think that application appeal should be brought back for this very reason. I clearly have everything mentioned in the email multiple times over and would really like the opportunity to appeal or at least receive a more personalized reason of why I was denied.

With that being said, even if my channel details were not there, I think this is a small and easy fix and does not warrant the 90 day wait to reapply. I think there should be levels of denied applications. Levels possibly like "Light work needed" for 30 days, "Moderate work needed" for 60 days, and "Heavy work needed" for 90 days. This will help content creators also know exactly how close they may be in becoming partnered and will help them see improvement if they are denied for 90 days the first time but only 30 days the second time.

Anyways, thank you to everyone that has read this and I hope you have a wonderful day!

There HAS to be an Affiliate program.

Twitch has proven by adding an affiliate program that both they and their streamers make more of an income. The biggest negative feedback to the affiliate program was by the Twitch Partners who felt that this detracted form their possible sub's. There is no evidence of this as all streamers have variation in sub's and that can not be tied directly together.

Affiliates would get the ability to receive "Embers", a Sub button, a generic contact for mixer support, and a little bit of advertisement form Mixer would hurt. (ex. Channel two which showcases one affiliate a day and does not provide an increase in sparks like channel one.)

Partners would still have a personal contact at Mixer, still get all of the same current benefits like the ability to make money from advertisements, game/features purchased through their channel, sparks and everything else they already have.

This would allow smaller streamers to still make advancements as streamers and also increase income to Mixer. As an example without a feature or Channel one which is filled with lurkers farming Sparks almost ALL partners average 15-30 concurrent viewers throughout their stream.. This means they average (12K-25K followers) less than 1% concurrent viewers without the help of mixer. Where as non partnered streamers below 2k generally average the same if not a higher percentage. there is no fiscal reason as to why Affiliate would be a bad program to introduce. The only down side will be how partners feel about it and if Partners disagree with the program not only has Twitch shown it doesn't affect their partners, but it would also show that Mixer partners really don't care about growth of the community, but only of their channel.

Hi I’m Heath Morgan. I am making a big trip for amazing videos and for a life changing experience. I used to be a YouTube content creator for other YouTube channels so I know how to arrange these and make good content to draw in a big crowd.

Video background
So online I have a small community of friends of 6 friends. We have all known each other for several years. Some of them I’ve known them for 7 years. None of us have never meet but are anxious to meet. We are all very good friends and tell each other everything.

Video trip idea
So the idea is to go on an cruise with all of them including their parents. This will be an expensive trip but it is needed. Many of my friends haven’t even been on a vacation before. If you help with this you will get something back in return. This will be such a good video. It will also be in very good quality.

What you will get in return
So the video will be definitely getting millions of views. You will get a big big promo in the video and a commercial made by me if needed. Also you will get all the money earned by the video for 2 years. So you can possibly make all the money back and still get my offers. You can actually possibly make more back than you gave me. You can push the video to be popular and then you have tons of thousands back. Youtube revenue is very good. I will also do Adsense. And also include paid sponsor. I will give you the money every month. Their will be 2 videos a surprise video and the actual trip video. From doing this video you will be highly noticed by millions of people. This offer is more than equal. You can get more benefits from it than me. But this video will be professionally edited by my Youtube creator team friends. You will be seen as a amazing company that helped with a amazing deed.

I have not made prices yet because I don’t know if sponsors are willing to help. Yes this will be an expensive trip but you will be getting a lot back

Hi, my name is Ian (username IanYS). The email I got on my declined partner application is attached (screenshot).

First off, it would have been helpful to know what those numbers were that we didn't hit. Even ballpark numbers will be helpful. This is so that we know what to work towards if/when we aim for partnership again.

Also, I would like to highlight some factors in my application that I believe are not addressed in the email I got, and that will be helpful when Mixer considers other applications in the future.

1. As has been raised here before, time zone: I live in GMT+8 time, my time zone is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Time. If I were to stream at the "best" times to get the highest viewership, I might have to get up at around 4am to stream, not feasible when I work a day job.

2. Market: Also a result of where I live (Singapore). Most people here have not even heard of Mixer, let alone watched streams on it. I would suggest that the region/market that a non-US streamer comes from be taken into consideration for partner applications, especially if it's a very small or even untapped market. Partners who come from these markets can then help raise awareness of the platform more effectively.

3. Nature of content: I stream live music, which arguably, by nature, has a harder time achieving the same viewership (especially unhosted viewership) as game streams in general. I think music and also creative streamers who apply for partner might benefit from more weight being given to the qualitative aspects of their stream as opposed to mainly viewership metrics.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Ian

We all know there is a Partnership program that allows you to earn money and set up a contract with microsoft. But with tons of Streamers under 18, they aren't able to be a partner. Now on Twitch they have an affiliate program that allows younger streamers earn money, and it is pretty easy to reach. Now, Mixer needs something like this so it is possible to earn a little side cash for people under 18. They should be able to earn money in the same ways as a partner, just maybe they earn less per sub, per spark or per ember compared to a partner.

I believe I have been reviewed unfairly and the decision to decline my application is not justified. In less than 3 months I have nearly 5500 followers. I average over 50 viewers each time I stream. My channel is positive, lively. I engage with every single person that talks in my chat. I am completely professional. I take streaming very seriously. I have everything set up completely professionally. Much time and effort is put in to my channel each day. I am funny, engaging, good at the games I play and most of all my audience enjoys watching me, which is why I have large numbers watching and following every time I steam. I have had professional overlays, logos, merchandise designed. I stream regularly and keep to my schedule. I have currency and games to keep the viewers entertained. Many of my followers ask when they can subscribe to me. I have everything Mixer asks of a partner. I am completely baffled to why I have been declined. If I am unliked as a person, or by the way I look by someone at Mixer, that is horrendously unfair to me. I ask that you please take another look at my channel, with some different eyes. You will see that my channel is hugely popular and I am someone that will bring a lot of business to Mixer. The explanation for the decline is not clear and I would at the very least, I would like someone to explain the reason for it. If there is no chance I will ever get partnered. I need to know if I am wasting my time using Mixer. ? See the email as follows:

Hello

Thanks for your patience. We have carefully reviewed your channel and will not be moving forward with your application at this time.

We have issued a decline for the following reasons to help you identify what to improve before your next application. Note that while we recommend working on the qualities detailed below, we cannot guarantee partnership should you apply again for the following reasons:

There may be other aspects of your channel that we did not catch in this review period that would further disqualify you from partnership.

Our requirements for partnership change periodically based on the needs of the business. These changes will be updated on our website.

You will understand that the above email does not explain why I was declined. I need to know what you think I am doing wrong?
Thank you and kind regards,

Right now amongst other requirements one partner rule is to have at least 2000 followers however I have rarely seen someone with 2000-3000 followers and be partnered. I’m reaching that number but I know if I apply then I’ll get denied as Mixer denies over 90% of applications so here’s my idea, why not roll out a “partnership watch” program that’ll give newest partners accepted under this program a chance to get full Mixer Partnership benefits and if Mixer feels that after a month or two that they aren’t hitting numbers they’d hope then they will be back to non partner where they will have to re-evaluate the stream and re apply in the future. It’s kind of like Twitch’s affiliate program but more strict. I just know if I got the same benefits as a partner then I could bring in some serious viewers but as a non partner you can’t do much but everything yourself. So yea my idea is to give a chance to new applicants (who have ALL partnership requirements) who Mixer feels could succeed partnership benefits and if they don’t then they reevaluate and re apply in a later date. All some people need is a chance and once given that chance they will succeed and never look back. Thanks for the time and I hope you consider my idea or one around mine. Thanks again

Hi my name is pifhers, content creator for a year on this platform. I averaged 200 people + when i played fortnite and apex. My peaks where 330. I feel that the decision was given was very generic. I wasnt declined for CCU but was declined for views? I stream on periscope/twitter as well and average and average 30+ on that platform as well. Some of my best work on periscope has over 2,000 views in an hour. My average was 46 people for the month. My followers > views is at a 11%. If you want to see analytics. https://twitter.com/pifhers/status/1172631973367468033
I am doing stuff that no one else is doing on twitter, Im trying to help other people grow on streaming and personally to. Please reconsider. Thanks ♥

i understand that mixer is happy ninja is coming over. what I am talking about is mixers discrimination of other streamers. by just letting ninja be a partner have subs have embers without going thru the proper mixer rules of partnership 60 days active 25hrs min time and 5k followers. mixer has discriminated against and spit in the face of all nonpartnered streamers. because you just let him have it all without following the rules you sit on other streamers this is discrimination at its very core. by not making ninja do what every streamer has to do to get partnership you just have thrown away your very own rules. I would welcome ninja to mixer if he went thru the proper steps like all other hopeful streamers have to. it is discrimination to just let him have it without following the very rules you have set forth and enforce on other streamers. just because he is ninja a top TWITCH streamer does not mean he could just walk in and not follow rules in place on other streamers and just because he was a twitch partner does not mean he should just be given partnership on mixer. it is discrimination against all non partnered streamers not to make him go thru proper rules and show a cancer that will someday make mixer a toxic place were anyone can be a partner as long as you are a partner on some other platform it is not right to anyone who has a hope and dream to stream and get partnership as It is a discrimination against the whole of mixer. I know he will get partnership no worries there but make it fair make him follow the rules in place or get rid of the rules altogether stop the unfair and discriminating action. and no just cause he is the biggest fortnight streamer and a twitch partner does not except him from the rules in place and enforced on non partnered streamers who apply for partnership it is a discriminating act if he does not follow the rules on partnership.
