Honestly, this video is going to be very short, very simple, but well explained, so stay tuned. First of all, we already know that we have to log into our account here on the Kip panel. Once that's done, if they don't know, well, we'll come here, we'll give them the option to come back here. Once we're here on our main panel or home screen, we come here to our profile picture, we'll click on the creator control panel and it will take us back here where we were. Ready? And here the next step is very simple. We came here where it says income and we don't have our payment method configured here . First of all, before you click configure, you will get some error message. Most likely, I'll leave you with a screenshot of the error that will appear. Why is this happening? Many times it's because we come here to the studio and in BODS our screams that we've made appear here. Last time I deleted some live streams that I didn't like, I mean, I said, "No, I'm going to delete them because they were like tests and in order for you to get subscriptions you must stream for at least 5 hours." So, if we come here to the achievements, I had already accomplished it, but since I had deleted some videos, the bar didn't reset, but remained at the hours I had broadcast. So, when I went to configure the income settings, an error appeared here below, which I will show you here mistake here, which is that we shouldn't delete the live streams because otherwise our hours will decrease, I had to go live again to complete live again to complete the 5 hours. If I add up the hours I broadcast, it gives me 5 hours. Ready. So, we come to admission. Let's complete the Stripe setup. It shows me here that I have already started the process, but you will be asked to enter the destination country well, I put Colombia. They open the panel, enter Colombia, click next and it will redirect them to this page. What do we have to do here? Enter the data. Here we're going to put the email address we used to register with Kick, right? Hey, let them try to be the same. Once it's in, we'll click send. He's going to ask us for a phone number, so we'll attach it. Once this is done, we'll click send. We will receive a verification code on the cell phone number we entered here. It arrived. So, we're going to enter it. Once we have entered it, it will automatically send us to this next panel, which will apparently contain the personal data of each person. I'm going to fill it out super fast and then I'll explain what it's about. Well, here you have to verify your personal data, but I'm omitting this part because it's my personal data, right? But as such, your legal name, date of birth, address, city where you live, the department where you are from Colombia, if not, well, if you are from another country, well, as they say there, the postal code and finally the national identity card which is like our representation of our identity document. They should also present their identity document from their country of to click continue here. It's going to start loading and it says here to add your bank account details. Well, in my case, we have an application called NEI, which is the easiest way to transfer. I selected that type of bank, although you can select Banco Colombia, Davi Plata, or BBVA. In short, all the banks in Colombia will appear here, and you just need to enter your account number, confirm the account number, and specify if it's a savings or checking account. In my case it's a savings account and we'll continue as usual. The banks in the country you are registering for will appear. Ready? Let's continue then. Once it sends us here, it seems to confirm the issue of reviewing the form so we can send it and finish configuring our payment method. Here in this part it tells us that we are missing the certification of form W-8W-9. Let's click update. Our personal data appears again, and at the very bottom it asks if we are U.S. citizens or if we reside in the United States. We're going to say no, because we don't consider ourselves U.S. citizens, for tax purposes, right? We're going to say no. Once selected, it does not display this part of the We confirm that it is the same data that we gave at the beginning and everything is exactly as stated . I mean, it's fine. My data is fine to me. We continue going down. Here in this section it says that I certify that I do not work in the United States or that my activity has nothing to do with the United States and that. I live in Colombia, I reside in Colombia. So they won't debit me or charge me the taxes they charge signature it says that we have to put our first and last name, as we have put it everywhere. Ready? and we click send. Once that's done, the entire form will appear, and if you see the link in the forms, it will show that everything is now up to date. So, we scroll down and here it tells us to accept and accept and send and it seems that everything is ready. It redirects us back here to our panel where we already have our income active, which means you can now come and subscribe to my channel on KCK. And that would be all.
