Advertising Boxes
This Sea of Thieves Overlay has been made with the possibility of earning revenue and money from your streaming efforts. If you’re looking to give your stream the professional feel, while having the option to earn advertising revenue from publishers and advertisers then an Add box or two on your overlay is important. This gives you space in which you can sell to potential advertisers to make their brand more known. It’s important that if you’re going to sell advertising space on your stream that it is connected to your niche and targeted audience.
For example if you’re into your gaming then seek adverts for tournaments, gaming equipment, other games and hardware. Try to avoid advertising products which are simply not used by your target audience as it will de-value your stream and your efforts. Motion graphics for your adverts also help so keep it quick and keep it fresh.
