My Kitchen, Live

01 · The idea

What are people paying for?

Go live during a manageable part of your normal meal preparation. This is a kitchen diary with conversation, so describe it honestly rather than selling a full cooking class.

Describe the viewing window and what people will see. A drop-in diary needs a clear start, occasional context for newcomers and an honest description of how access is charged in the listing.

02 · First time

Plan your first session

A starting format: A planned live window. Adjust this to the activity and explain it before anyone books.

1. Prepare the phone before handling food.
2. Introduce the meal and chat at safe pauses.
3. Show the result and close before mealtime.

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 and ordinary kitchen equipment. Keep cables clear of heat and water.

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?

Regular viewers can follow your weekday meals and seasonal ingredients.

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.

06 · Your audience

Find your first audience

Post the meal you plan to make and whether you will explain steps or mostly chat.

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.
