If you're an Amazon Prime member, did you know you can support HIF for FREE each month?
A decade ago, Amazon bought Twitch.tv, a site where millions of people watch others play video games, cook meals, or just hang out together on stream. Broadcaster can have paying “subscribers,” also known as “subs.” In exchange for ~$5 a month, subs gain special little perks and their money goes towards supporting their favorite streamers and content creators. I first wrote about this feature back in 2017.
When Amazon took over, they gave Prime members a free subscription each month to their streamer of choice! This means anybody who links their Amazon and Twitch accounts are able to give a streamer $5 for free, each month, for as long as they have their Prime membership. And it's a “use it or lose it” kinda deal – if you don't use the subscription each month, it simply expires.
This means Amazon Prime members get $60 in value each year to give away for free!
How to Help HIF for Free
Now I don't actually stream a lot. In fact, I hardly stream at all. But your support here helps me out immeasurably. If you're a Prime member, here's how to easily link your Amazon and Twitch accounts.
- Go to Amazon Gaming.
- Select connect your Twitch account.
- Sign in to your Amazon.com account.
- Sign in to your Twitch account and then select Confirm.
Once you've linked your account, you'll be able to subscribe for free to my channel each month! Here's how, with pictures:
- Head to my Twitch page
- Click the “Subscribe” box with a star (looks like this)
- Click the “Subscribe Free” button next to “Free Subscription with Prime.” (looks like this)
That's it! With those simple steps, you've just done a lot to help support HIF and Goob! THANK YOU!
