Trovo Monetization Options

This video explains the various monetization options available on Trovo for live streamers (0:00).

Key Monetization Methods on Trovo:

• Elixirs/Spells: Viewers can exchange real-world money for "elixirs," Trovo's digital currency, to cast "spells" on the streamer's channel (1:23). These spells appear as emotes in chat or on screen and have varying costs (1:45).

• Subscriptions (Subs): Trovo offers three subscription tiers with different benefits (2:42):

  • Tier 2: Standard $5/month, includes sub badge, subscriber-only chat, live playback, golden nickname, 1080p+ resolution (if available), and slow mode immunity (2:47).

  • Tier 1: Approximately $2/month, offers fewer benefits like the badge, subscriber-only chat, and golden nickname, but no higher resolution or live playback (3:53).

  • Tier 3: Higher tier at about $9/month (4:09).

  • Streamers can customize the benefits for each tier (9:20).

• PK Arena: This gamified system pits two streamers head-to-head, where viewers can give money (through subs and elixirs) to their preferred streamer to help them win (4:22).

• Treasure Boxes: Streamers can utilize treasure boxes as a reward system for viewers (5:13).

• Boost Project/Space Level: Viewers can use elixirs and "mana" to boost a streamer's channel, increasing its "Space Level" (5:17). Higher Space Levels unlock more features and benefits for the streamer, such as more custom spells, custom roles, more moderator slots, and extended VOD and clip storage (6:03).

The video also touches on the complexity of Trovo's "over-gamified" system, noting the confusion between different currencies like "elixirs" and "Trovo Ace elixirs" (10:18). For new streamers, the initial step is to gain 20 followers and stream for 8 hours to enable the sub button (15:52).
