Hello friend, and welcome to r/Twitch!

First things first - no channel advertising, follow 4 follow, etc. Just no.

Second - please use the search bar. Twitch was created in 2011 and odds are there's already a post or megathread that may have what you're looking for.

Since we've had an active and helpful community here for a long time we have a huge pool of information and discussion on various Twitch and streaming related topics. Many of the questions you may have are likely already well answered, and many of the resources you are looking for are available or covered extensively!

This page acts as your quick reference for all of these with links to relevant guides, megathreads, etc. If there are questions of suggestions regarding this list of topics, please reach out to us through modmail.

Twitch Service Thread

Hi r/Twitch!

You may now advertise your services here if you fall under any of the following categories:

  • Animation

  • Artwork

  • Branding

  • Coding/developer

  • Graphic Design

  • Management

  • Moderation

  • Music composition

  • Video editing

  • Voice-over

How it works: Every few months I will create a new megathread where professionals may post saying they’re looking to do work for broadcasters. The thread will be posted in our sidebar and put in contest mode, so that comments get sorted randomly rather than by highest up-voted or newest. The purpose of this thread is to be a centralized place for those providing professional service to broadcasters to find new clients, and for broadcasters to find available professionals to help make their broadcast the best it can be!

Posting: Although this thread is to help broadcasters find talented professionals, please do not post here saying “I need an artist!” or any other similar variation. Posting is only meant for professionals looking to do work! When posting, make sure you use the template provided below. This will make sure posts are properly formatted, and make it easier for broadcasters to find what they’re looking for.

Freebies: If you're not currently looking for new clients but would like to share free work that you've created, then please do so by replying to the stuck comment on this thread and NOT by posting a separate comment.

Other Stuff:

  • Any posts that do not follow the template and/or are low-effort will be removed.

  • If you are no longer accepting work then please edit your post accordingly.

  • If you have any questions, concerns or feedback then please contact us via. Modmail.

Please use the following template to format your post. //

**Services:** A list of the various things you make/offer (emotes, web design, branding, music etc).    **About:** A short description about you or your site and any relevant experience you have.  **Pricing:** Your prices or rate per hour. If you do not charge then just put ‘Free’.  **Portfolio:** Link to your past work. If you don’t have a website, then please use  an image hosting site like imgur for images, Soundcloud or other for audio and any other relevant sight for other services.   **Contact:** Preferred method for contacting you such as an email address.   **Status:** Whether or not you are currently accepting work.   **Other:** If you have anything else to add, this is where you will put it. Feel free to leave it out if you don’t have anything else to say.  

If there are any services that you feel are missing from the list provided in the post, or are unsure if you should post here, please reach out to us via modmail.
