Back in 2011, when Twitch was born as a platform for gamers, no one imagined it would turn into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Fast-forward to 2025, and Twitch has become not only a home for gaming but also a hub for lifestyle, music, education, and even casual “study with me” streams. With more than 8 million active streamers each month and an audience of 35+ million daily visitors, the platform is still growing despite rising competition from YouTube Live, TikTok, and Kick. For newcomers, the big question remains: Is it still worth starting a Twitch channel in 2025? The answer is yes, but only if you approach it with the right mindset, tools, and strategies. This guide will walk you through how to get started, how much money you can realistically earn, and what viewers are actually looking for right now.
