The creator guide
Build an audience through livestreaming
How creators use livestreaming to connect with fans, grow an audience and earn online — on their own schedule, starting from zero. No large social media following required.
Why creators choose livestreaming
Audience growth
Build real-time relationships with fans and grow a loyal audience that shows up for you, stream after stream.
Monetization
Create multiple income streams through livestreaming and fan engagement — not just one revenue source.
Flexibility
Work on your own schedule, from wherever suits you, and build your business your way.
“I started with no audience and quickly built a community through livestreaming. The flexibility means it fits around my life — not the other way round.”

Questions, answered
Do I need a large social media following?
No. Unlike many creator platforms, livestreaming platforms with built-in discovery connect you with viewers from day one. Many successful creators started with zero followers.
How do livestream creators make money?
Creators typically combine several income streams — live broadcasts, fan subscriptions, private messaging, content sales and one-to-one experiences — rather than relying on a single source.
Can I work part-time?
Yes. You set your own schedule. Many creators stream a few hours a week around studies, work or family, and scale up only if they want to.
How do creators get discovered?
Through platform discovery tools — homepage placement, category browsing, search and recommendations — plus traffic the platform itself invests in bringing to new creators.
What equipment do I need to get started?
A computer or phone with a camera, a stable internet connection and good lighting is enough to begin. You can upgrade your setup as your audience grows.
