SoundCloud links up with Twitch so creators can earn from livestreams

SoundCloud has teamed up with Twitch to help musicians financially affected by the coronavirus outbreak. Artists, even famous ones, have been livestreaming performances to reach audiences stuck in their homes due to the pandemic. For those who are losing paid appearances in the coming weeks and months, it’s also a way to earn some income. Under this partnership, all SoundCloud Pro, SoundCloud Premier and Repost by SoundCloud creators will get their Twitch Affiliate status fast-tracked. By gaining Affiliate status, they’ll be able to earn revenue from the performances they stream on Twitch.
