.As fans flock to live stream chats hoping to get noticed by their favourite YouTubers, the chat box quickly loses functionality. In a blink of an eye 100 comments can easily be missed, as chat streams become flickers, and emoji’s become the only discernible content. Knowing this is a problem for viewers who want to interact with their favourite creators, YouTube pounced on the opportunity to monetise this demand. Creating “YouTube Super Chat”.
Introducing YouTube Super Chat
Launched in January of 2017, Super Chat gives viewers the ability to pay for their comment to be pinned and highlighted at the top of the live chat.
You send her a blank text and when she comments about it you accuse her of lying, being a cheapskate who wants 2 kisses for the price of 1 and so forth. – If she teases you back but don´t have anything witty to text back, you can just send a blank text and when she makes remarks about it you tell her you just gave her the silent treatment. YouTube is introducing Super Chat, an alternative method of monetizing your livestreams! With Super Chat, your viewers can “pin” their messages to the top of the chat window by paying for preferred placement for a specified duration of time for each monetary donation. On February 28th, the love/hate Fan Funding is going away. A quick demonstration of how to enable Super Chat as a way to monetize your live streams on the YouTube platform. If you are currently using Fan Funding this feature will be replacing Fan Funding! So check this live streaming feature out and let us know if you have any questions. Quick Super Chat Tips 1. Check to see if you are in a support.
In order to have their comment pinned viewers
- Select the dollar sign within a live chat
- Click “send a super chat”
- Select the amount they want to pay
- And confirm by selecting “buy and send”
From there, anyone watching the stream will see the comment. They can also see the corresponding payment highlighted at the top of the chat box.
YouTube marketed this as a way for creators and their “super fans” (fans who are willing to pay for attention) to deepen their relationships and more easily connect.
How Much Do The YouTubers Receive?
Super Chat payments can range between $1 and $500 each. YouTube takes 30% of the revenue, and this isn’t considering any apple service fees, tax, MCN cuts or other charges.
How Creators Can Use Super Chat
Larger YouTubers whose fans find it difficult to get attention will likely benefit from this feature the most. Whereas smaller YouTuber’s live chats are likely to be less cluttered, so viewers won’t find it as difficult to have their normal comment read – reducing the incentive to pay for this feature.
If you are a small YouTuber, that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trailing however. There are a few things you could can do to increase your Super Chats and better monetise your live streams.
Promote Your Live Streams
The more people there are watching your live stream in real-time, the more likely you are to receive super chat donations. It’s important therefore that you let your audience know about your live stream beforehand. Promote it in videos, let them know on social media, host the live stream at a convenient time for your viewers, and do your best to get the most live viewers you can.

Include A Q&A Section
Give your viewers an incentive to have their comment read by providing them with value back, in this case; in the form of an answer to their question. Ask your viewers for questions during the chat, and ensure that you answer the questions of your super chat users.
Provide Content Incentives
Give your viewers a reason to donate by providing them with an incentive. This could be in the form of a new piece of content, continuing your live stream, or providing content within the live stream that they find valuable. Or it may just be a shout out and thank you to the person who has made the donation.
Critiques Of Super Chat
Live stream chats were originally designed to help foster relationships between creators and their community in an egalitarian way. All viewers were provided the same opportunity to have their message read. The introduction of Super Chat removes this even playing field. Giving viewers who are willing to open their wallets a higher chance of having their voices heard.
Smaller YouTubers who are most often in need of the monetary support, likely won’t benefit from this feature nearly as much as their larger counterparts. Smaller creators with smaller fan bases will find their livestream chats easier to read and interact with – so viewers will be less likely to donate.

There are a lot of different ways to make extra money that you may not have heard of. For example, did you know you can chat with men for money? Here’s how.
How to Chat With Men for Money
Obviously, this is one of those money-making options that some people won’t feel comfortable doing. However, we aren’t talking about a phone sex operation though. There are many men out there who will pay for your company or companionship. The key to earning extra cash this way is to search through a larger database and find a safe, comfortable working relationship.
Here are a few places you may consider looking if you want to get paid to chat.
Seeking Arrangement
Seeking Arrangement is a little different than the other sites listed. It is known as a “Sugar Daddy” dating site, which means that women register to chat and possibly go on dates, with rich, eligible bachelors. According to the site, some of the “daddies” are also Fortune 400 billionaires. Of course, there is no base pay rate for this. Most of the time, you and the “daddy” will negotiate terms privately.
What’s Your Price
What’s Your Price allows you to buy-and-sell first dates. After you create a profile, you post your price, and other members of the site will make offers. If you accept the offer, you will receive payment and go on a date with the bidder. With this service, you are in control of how much you make from one date and how much you’re able to make month-to-month.
Miss Travel
Miss Travel doesn’t directly pay you any money to chat with men. However, it does provide the opportunity to meet some interesting people. The site connects individuals with the common love of travel and helps them plan a vacation together. If you’re lucky, they may even pay for your trip entirely!

Women from around the world are accepted. They simply need to be 18 years or older to apply. The payout for this site will vary, depending on the people you interact with.

MyGirlFund
The idea behind MyGirlFund is for men to find internet girlfriends. Some women have been able to make up to $40,000 per year by chatting with men through the site. Typically, the men on this site are too busy to date or simply are not ready to commit to a woman for whatever reason. Women interested in MyGirlFund can set up a profile, and usually, it mentions that they are raising money for something they need. It has been the experience of some women that men on the site will send money for no other reason than to make them feel special. If you link up with the right guy, he may even pay off your student loans.
MyGirlFund does not allow you to reveal or share any personal information on the site. Some men may ask for content or photos/videos. The site does not require any woman to send photos or video if they don’t feel comfortable doing so. As mentioned above, the amount you’re able to rake in with this service widely varies and depends on the men interested in talking to you.
Phrendly
Phrendly makes it easy to chat with men for money. It is a smartphone app that allows you to browse a community of people to chat with. When someone messages you first, you can earn money. Additionally, other members of Phrendly can send you virtual drinks that have a $5 cash value.

The app is only available on iPhone and Apple products. Android users can access the community using the desktop site.
Text121Chat
Text121Chat has job openings from time to time. The service is usually looking for a variety of operators that are willing to have adult conversations via text or phone call. For the most part, operators are located in the U.S. and United Kingdom. If you are bilingual, it is a plus, but not a requirement. They simply ask you to have a pleasant speaking voice, high-speed internet access, and good communication skills. Operators must commit to 2,000 to 3,000 texts or messages per month. Pay is about $0.07 per message. So, if you commit to the lowest number of messages (2,000), you’ll be able to pull in about $140 extra per month.
Is Flirting for Cash for You?
There is no doubt this type of side hustle isn’t for everyone. It is important not to abandon any values you may hold, and avoid anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
If you don’t cringe at the idea of flirting for money, there are huge opportunities out there to make extra cash. However, make sure you connect with a reputable service, and protect yourself.
Avoiding Scams
As you can imagine, the chatting/flirting industry is full of scams and people wanting to steal your information or simply not pay you. To shield yourself from any scams, take the following precautions.
- Use a safe, secure website and do your research before starting.
- Search for reviews of people who have worked with them in the past.
- Don’t give out any extremely personal information (you may not even want to use your real name when chatting).
- Use Skype or a different chatting service to protect your contact information and phone number.
- If you don’t feel comfortable, don’t do it!
