How to Sell Twitch Graphics

Each day, new content creators sign up for Twitch and start looking for branding. Not only will they need stream overlays, but many will want panels, emotes, sub badges, and banners. With a constant influx of potential customers, selling overlays and other graphics online is a good business opportunity for those with the right skill set.

While there are many pre-made Twitch overlays and other graphics resources online, many Twitch streamers want a unique overlay that will help them attract their target audience and show off their overall branding. Many will struggle to create their own, even with tutorials.

This post will cover how you can sell graphics for Twitch online and dip your toes into other creative categories to earn money online.

How to Sell Twitch Emotes, Overlays, and Badges

Creating a Fiverr shop is the easiest way to start selling overlays and other resources for streamers. Fiverr is a marketplace site that connects sellers to customers in a variety of creative categories. On Fiverr, you can create and customize your own store, offer discounts, and more.

To start selling Twitch overlays on Fiverr, complete the following steps:

1. Step 1

   

   Visit the Fiverr site and click the “Join” button in the top-right corner of the screen. You can sign in with your Facebook, Google, or Apple accounts or enter your email address. Once you are logged in, you will want to click the “Become a Seller” option.

2. Step 2

   

   Click through to where you can input your personal info. Take your time to pick a good profile picture and write out a good description of your experience. You will also be able to add any languages you know so that you will get more viewers on your profile.

3. Step 3

   Continue to fill out the form, putting in your past work experience. You will be able to add your past employment and how long you worked at each. This will help people become more comfortable with hiring you for a job.

4. Step 4

   Link your Fiverr profile to your Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts. You may want to create a unique email address and Facebook page for your business so that people are not messaging your personal inbox directly.

5. Step 5

   After verifying that your account is secure, you will be finished setting up. At that point, you will want to create a new gig. These will show up on Fiverr’s website in relevant searches.

6. Step 6

   From your dashboard, click “Gigs” at the top of your screen and choose the option to create a new gig. Enter a title for your gig and select an appropriate category and sub-category. You will also want to add relevant search tags (such as “Twitch overlays”) to the gig.

7. Step 7

   

   Decide whether you will have one or three different price points for your gig and define what people would get when choosing which package they wish. Choose a name for each package and fill out the appropriate description fields.

8. Step 8

   

   Once you have created the price points, you will need to write out a description that will ensure that the customer understands your product so that they will know what they paid for. There is a character limit of 1200 in this section. If you don’t know what to write, look at similar profiles to get ideas (don’t copy anyone though).

   If you have an idea of what questions people typically ask, fill out the FAQ section.

9. Step 9

   Write out what you expect from each potential buyer. For instance, if you are designing Twitch overlays, you will need to know what the streamer wants so that you can customize your product to meet their needs. They may need to post a full description including colors, images, and more.

10. Step 10

    Upload images of samples to your work. If you want people to contact you, it is very important that you give a visual representation of what you are capable of making.

11. Step 11

    Once you are satisfied with your gig, publish it. When people reach out to you, act as a professional and complete their work in a timely manner. If you do well, you will likely receive a high rating on the platform, earning you more work.

3. Offer Freebies on Discord

   Design one or two graphics that you don’t mind people using and put them on your Discord server. If people download your overlay and realize they like it, they may want you to design something special for them later on.
