In the podcast EXPOSING THE SG LIVE SELLING INDUSTRY!!! | #DailyKetchup EP 550, guest Cheryl (an insider and live seller) and the hosts discuss the typical earnings and pay structures for live sellers in Singapore:
Base Appearance Fees: Beginners or smaller live sellers typically start at a base pay of $2,000 per stream [06:06 Opens in a new window ]. Top live streamers can command up to $8,000 per stream [06:22 Opens in a new window ].
Commissions: Sellers earn commissions ranging from 8% up to 25% of the total Sales/GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) [05:59 Opens in a new window ].
Earning Calculations:
A top streamer charging an $8,000 base fee per stream and streaming 5 days a week (~20 times a month) earns $160,000 per month from base appearance fees alone, excluding commission [07:07 Opens in a new window ].
For major streams generating $75,000 to $100,000 GMV in a single session, a live seller can make $20,000 to $25,000 in commission per stream [07:42 Opens in a new window ].
Business Owners/Sellers: Cheryl mentions that when starting her own crystal live selling business from scratch at age 19, she made her first $10,000 within 2 to 3 months [42:53 Opens in a new window ], eventually reaching high five-digit to six-digit figures [45:24 Opens in a new window ].
