Where do you stream yourself studying?

Streaming has gained a crazy amount of popularity in the last few years, and people do very very different things when they go live! From live Q&A's to ASMR and even just sleeping - people will watch anything. In this case, also pay a good amount for it! #StudyWithMe is a growing trend on the streaming platform Twitch! Yup, heaps of influencers make some heavy dough streaming themselves and now you can do it too and get paid to have your head in the books! Suddenly assignments and exam prep feel more rewarding! The most popular "study with me" style is the ‘Pomodoro method’, where you study for an hour and take a 15-minute break. During that break you would chat with viewers about study tips, school and life in general.

What do you exactly have to do?

First, set up your Twitch account, purchase good quality equipment that can aid a good HD stream. All you have to do is study, and answer some Q&A'S during your breaks. Slowly build a community and a following and make money. The best part is, as a streamer there are different sources of income that you can have so it's not as one dimensional as it would seem.

How much money can you make streaming yourself studying?

For example, Ana Blanca (@anablanchu) is a fifth-year medical student Twitch streamer with over 46,000 followers on Twitch. She earns anywhere between $1,100 and $1,700 a month.
