One third of full-time live streamers earn over 8K per month: report

Live streaming has become one of the highest-paid new occupations in China, according to an industry report released Sunday by Momo, a mobile-based social network platform.

The report on China’s live streaming industry in 2017 surveyed over 10 thousand live streamers and viewers. Data from the report shows that they are young and mostly post-90s, with 60 percent born after 1990.

The overall income of the industry ranks higher than most common occupations, with over 35 percent full-time live streamers making 8,000-plus yuan per month and 6.6 percent 30,000-plus yuan.

The earnings are closely related to how much time streamers spend and their education level, according to the report. Full-time practitioners earn more than the part-time group. People with at least a bachelor’s degree account for 63 percent of the high-paid streamers with a monthly income over 8,000 yuan, which is about double of those with a high school education.

In addition, most viewers said favor humorous, amiable, and talented streamers. Less than 10 percent said good look is enough to be successful.

The Internet era has changed young people’s view on employment. Over half of the steamers said that live streaming is much harder than it seems. And over half of the graduates (54 percent) in 2016 chose live streamer as their ideal job, according to a public report from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

Voice actor, dresser, and game evaluator are the other top three new jobs that university graduates prefer.
