How to get sponsorships for your twitch affiliate channel! One of the best and most easiest ways for a new twitch affiliate to get sponsors is to use the following platforms.
Game Key Distributions
Woovit - is a self service key distribution platform. This site is extremely easy to connect into via Twitch Login integration. It automatically pulls your stats from Twitch and populates it on their system. You then can see what offers are available to you based on your metrics. They have many indy developers listed with basic requirements in order to get a free key for streaming. All in all one of my favorites to check into to see what new indie games are coming up.
Keymailer - key distribution platform. Keymailer is most likely one of the top key distro out their for game influencers. Its going to be harder for a new affiliate to get keys from here but its something to look forward to down the line if your channel grows bigger. NOTE: Keymailer may sometimes lists games to which they dont have any keys for but collect your requests in order to sell that to game publishers.
Noiz.gg - distributes keys, sponsorship opportunities. This is a great platform that has many opportunities for paid sponsorships with games even with low CV amounts.
Arsenal.gg - analytics, key distribution platform.
Xsolla - keys, affiliate programs, performance-driven
Terminals.io - key distribution platform, PR
These are all the various key distribution platforms that I have signed up for and use to get sponsorship opportunities and free game keys for my channel on twitch.

Additional notes:
Make sure to have a business contact email address on your twitch channels about section and on your other linked in social media profiles. Many times sponsors maybe interested in working with you but no email address is provided for contact which leaves them to move on to the next channel.
Other things to take into consideration is your audience, your community and what your niche is and how a possible sponsorship can make sense for both you and them. If you want to work with a brand and you think there are possible synergies, reach out to a PR contact for the brand. It never hurts to ask and attempt to network.
