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.

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 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

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

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.

Hi! My name is Enzo Alder, I recently applied as a partner after hitting all of my milestone goals that allowed me to begin my application process. Unfortunately I was denied as most applicants are and was given a 90 Re-Apply lock, that’s fine.

However what was absolutely unacceptable was the seemingly automated response I was given as to why my application was denied. During the application process I was promised that my channel would be carefully reviewed over the course of 2 to 3 weeks but was unfortunately denied only five days after the application was submitted. I was also promised by Mixer that I would have both visible and invisible staff members appear in my stream but never once saw the appearance of a staff member. Not to mention the criticism I was given to improve my channel was inapplicable due to the fact that all criticism I was given was already being applied completely applied to my stream. I was told my stream did not have a professional enough description and that I did not stick out enough. Any of my viewers will tell you both of those are incorrect. I was careful to make sure that I followed the Mixer guidelines when it came to an acceptable description, including detailed rules, are unique channel logo, a brief description of my channel and define schedule that was consistently followed. My channel and my character is very unique. Not to self advertise but I dress up in all blue covering my face, my eyes and remaining completely anonymous and looking fashionable while doing so.

The response I was given by mixer staff as to why my application was denied seem like a robot had wrote it and that my channel was far from carefully reviewed. I do not look for an appeal and believe that appeals should still not be an option for applications. But I know it is crucial for Mixer as a company that if they want to grow they need to satisfy their streamers and this half hearted pre-written critisism simply does not do the job. It is no wonder why so many up-and-coming streamers on Mixer feel so unencouraged to continue streaming after being denied.

It’s common for these type of companies to automatically deny the first applicant to weed out the people who aren’t willing to be committed and full-time workers who are willing to be told no from time to time. But that does not justify giving half hearted criticism that appears to be written by a robot. I feel all mixer partnership application denials need to have a unique structure and set of criticisms specific to each streamer so they can build up their stream and improve rather than just be told no when asking for better criticism. It’s OK to be difficult to impress when it comes to accepting new partners, but it is not OK to go against your own rules and guidelines to deny an applicant.

To sum it up, it is cucial that every denied streamer receives a well written and unique to their stream email full of as much constructive criticism as possible. If mixer wants to grow, they will take this advice and run with it.

Right now the 750 followers and 50 consistent viewers requirements for partner seem rather high. The viewer count mostly.

Most streamers need around 5000 followers to manage 50 consistent viewers or roughly 1% the follower count.

Someone with 750 followers is likely to average 7-8 viewers.

There are of course exceptions to these rules.

I feel like this will deter people from picking Mixer as their platform because a lot of that is out of the content creators hands. Where as the other two big plat forms put more power into the content creators hands to get affiliated or partnered.

Youtube uses 1000 followers and 4000 hours watched. (easily attainable with 10 viewers over a year stick to that same 1% ratio)
And Twitch uses 50 followers and merely a few unique streams a month for about 8 hours total.

I am more interested in Mixer than those other two platforms and have been researching the big three for a place to start streaming myself. I'm just giving my opinion but that's just my observation from a fair bit of research I did.

Hi, Im Klue
I recently applied for partnership & was denied due to no bio & not enough growth. I have had a bio since a month into streaming on the platform & as for growth in three weeks i have had over 700 new follows. So my point to this is i think there should be a way to appeal the decisions made on partnership when clearly someone didnt even look at my channel. That way it makes it fair for everyone who are applying & refused on the basis of things like i experienced. I understand there are high standards needed to be partnered & there should be as it helps to push streamers to better there streams.

Look at the profile, watch the streamer, AT LEAST KNOW WHAT THEY PLAY before denying them!!! Too many streamers are being lazily categorized by Mixer partnership review as the wrong type of streamer based on a game that they may have played for no time at all but when it shows up in a VOD the lazy partnership reviewer immediately denies them! Mixer needs to go through and weed out these lazy reviewers or explain their reasons for agreeing with them because they are flat out WRONG to allow this to continue! I tried to email Mixer discreetly about this and was told to bring it up here in very generic and automated feeling emails which is beyond under appreciated by myself having spent nearly 2 years of my life streaming on Mixer.
