Mum's Kitchen, Live

01 · The idea

What are people paying for?

Host a real cooking session with the family tips that make the dish yours. Viewers pay for live explanation and the opportunity to ask about texture or timing.

Sell access to a planned live event with a named theme, start time and duration. Build the experience around what viewers can see, hear or ask during that session.

02 · First time

Plan your first session

A starting format: 45–60 minutes. Adjust this to the activity and explain it before anyone books.

1. Choose a manageable menu and prepare ingredients.
2. Cook with the camera showing key stages clearly.
3. Explain substitutions and answer questions before serving.

Try a short rehearsal before opening bookings. Check what the camera shows, whether your voice is clear, and whether the plan fits the time you are offering.

03 · Start with your phone

What equipment do you need?

A phone, stand, Wi-Fi and normal kitchen equipment. Keep the camera away from steam and heat.

Start with what you already have. Test the internet connection, charge the device and choose a camera angle that shows the activity clearly. Upgrade only when you know what would improve the experience.

04 · Coming back

Why would followers come back?

Build a regional menu series with seasonal recipes and everyday family stories.

Tell people what the next session will offer and invite them to follow your calendar. Share your next available date so they can choose another booking. Make each return visit worth their time.

05 · The earning idea

Earn from a booking, not just a view

Your social posts can help people discover you. A paid session gives interested people a specific experience to book: your time, teaching, hosting or performance.

A small paying audience can be a useful place to start. Income depends on people choosing to book, the experience you deliver and the costs of running it. Use each session to learn what your audience values.

For pricing information, visit Pricing & Fees and review the details shown before you publish your listing.

06 · Your audience

Find your first audience

Share the dish and ingredient list early so interested viewers can cook alongside if they choose.

Start with a specific invitation: who the session is for, what will happen, the language, duration and date. After hosting, ask for feedback and use it to improve the next session.
