We’re excited to introduce BigUp’s Streamer Incentive Program (SIP), an incentive program that compensates Streamers for building an engaged community on BigUp - it’s not just about views for us.
Community is at the heart of everything we do at BigUp. We believe the best way to build community on BigUp is through Streamers, who we see as community leaders for fans of the sports team(s) they support. To nurture communities on BigUp, we think the best way to do that is through incentives for Streamers rather than using advertising.
Streamers who are eligible for SIP will also get the opportunity to work with the BigUp team to improve the product experience and get early access to new features we’re developing.
How Can I Start Earning on BigUp?
To qualify for SIP, Streamers will need to meet the following requirements:
What Determines How Much I Can Make on BigUp?
BigUp uses an engagement model instead of a traditional ‘views’ model to determine earnings for Streamers; we believe that a views-driven model incentivizes the wrong kind of behavior that is not necessarily conducive to building meaningful community.
Why is your ‘creator fund’ called SIP?
We have a weird sense of humor and thought calling our creator fund SIP was funny. One of us *cough* Ali *cough* originally thought BigUp Rewards Program (BURP) should be what we named our creator fund but wiser minds prevailed because calling it a rewards program would have been confusing.
