How should I teach my parents that I became an affiliate on Twitch?

I have been invited to the affiliate program since today and I'm not of legal age (15 years old). But I don't know how to explain it to my parents because they don't know a thing or two about technology, except for my father a little. But they don't know anything about livestreaming or similar. Do you know what you have to fill out and whether you have any idea?

MFG thank you in advance

No

Invited to the affiliate program and I'm under the age of 15 (15 years old).

so you have absolutely no business there.

Please let it be.

Well, first of all "affiliate" is very easy to reach for someone with friends and therefore nothing special. You should better clarify with your parents whether you can stream. Because I see the much greater need for clarification with your parents.

I'll take myself as an example: I'm older and have no face what you are talking about. If I were your mother, I would first prescribe "reading" to both of us - everything that you just have to read to be informed. We would read together and you would explain to me what I do not understand. As soon as we read a note somewhere that this is only allowed from 18, then it would be over at the latest. I don't participate in illegal stuff. If you - as a 15-year-old - are allowed to do something, we read on. Until the end. And then I'll tell you whether I allow you or not. I'm always open to new things. Therefore I would like to read - with you! - also do to. But I also have to understand everything I read - and you too! That is the minimum requirement! And then we talk about it.

I hope your parents do the same with you. I keep my fingers crossed for you.

The minimum age is 13. Please let your parents decide what they can and can't do.

Twitch Affiliate is the program in which Twitch partners can't monetize their stream. The basic requirement for this is 50 followers and almost 10 hours of streamed content in one month. Ergo for the average gamer that is easily accessible. Of course, this is also legal with the consent of the parents.

Thank you for the clarification! I would have found out all of this with my child.

To use Twitch, correct. But affiliate is marketing with content monetization. And in Germany this requires a business registration and tax returns to the tax office. And this is only possible for an adult / deputy. Without this, tax evasion would be committed using the services. And this is something the tax office and our courts have no understanding of at all.

Nobody ever said the opposite. But these are not hurdles that can't be overcome. And why shouldn't the questioner have anything to do with Twitch?

Did i say it was something special? You could have saved the comment by wasting time

I think you have just proven that this is still very unsuitable for you. If you immediately feel attacked. You still lack a lot of fur for a public life on the Internet. But then I seem to have hit the bull's eye with my assessment. It's always nice to be right.

St

Yes you are right, sry. If everything is clear, I'm now an affiliate

And you need 3 viewers on average

@wilees this is completely wrong…

you can use Twitch from 13 and also stream (with the consent of the parents, but you can also do without)

In order to become an affiliate under 18, this is done via the parents and can be changed later (if you are 18) I think (to the change when you are 18, I looked for it and had to come up with such stupid answers that upset yours!)
