📖 The Hustle
Stream your real coding sessions while building side projects or open-source tools. The programming category on Twitch has a dedicated audience of learners who enjoy watching code being written while they work. Share your screen, explain your thought process, and answer viewer questions during breaks. Monetize through subs, course affiliate links, and sponsoring your own SaaS.
🚀 First Step
Schedule a two-hour stream working on a public project, add your stream to your GitHub profile, and tweet about it before going live.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Build the same project across multiple streams to create a series viewers follow
- Take scheduled Q&A breaks every 30 minutes to engage chat
- Post the finished project on GitHub and link it in your channel description
