It covers two main pathways: the standard achievement-based route and a faster method for established creators with an existing audience. The tutorial includes step-by-step instructions for account setup, applying for the Kick Partner Program, and configuring Stripe for payments. ### Key Points - **Account Creation and Setup** [00:27] — Create a Kick account via the app or website, then go to Settings to add your details and link social media accounts like Facebook and YouTube. - **Two Paths to Earning** [00:51] — There are two ways to start earning: the standard creator path (fulfilling achievements) and a direct path for established streamers who can bypass criteria by applying to the KCIP program. - **Standard Achievement Criteria** [01:16] — To become a partner via achievements, you need: 5 hours of streaming, 50 average viewers in 30 days, 15 hours of watch time, and 100 unique chatters. Additionally, you need paid subscribers (around $5 each), which is difficult for new creators. - **Direct Path via KCIP Program** [03:07] — If you have an existing YouTube channel with decent viewership, you can email the Kick Partnership Team with screenshots of your analytics to apply for the KCIP program and get verified directly. - **Email Application Process** [04:56] — Send an email from your Kick-registered email to the partnership team, introducing yourself and your streaming background, including your YouTube subscriber count and average viewers. Attach proof screenshots. - **Verification Steps** [06:36] — After initial approval, update your Kick channel description with your YouTube link, enable two-factor authentication, and reply to the email confirming these steps. Approval typically comes within minutes. - **Stripe Account Setup** [07:42] — Once approved, set up a Stripe account for payments. Go to the Revenue section, click 'Complete Stripe Connect Setup', enter your email and phone number, verify with OTP, and provide personal details including PAN card for Indian users. - **Identity Verification on Stripe** [09:43] — Choose automated verification, scan the QR code with your phone, and take photos of your PAN card (front and back) and a selfie. The system will verify automatically. - **Bank Account and Tax Info** [11:02] — After verification, enter your bank account details. Complete the W-8BEN tax form (for non-US residents) by confirming your citizenship and address, then submit. - **Streaming Settings and Earnings** [12:37] — For streaming, use OBS with appropriate bitrate and resolution settings. The creator reports earning $29 for 20 views and ₹4.84 for 60 views, with a 95/5 revenue split on subscriptions (95% to creator). ### Conclusion The video concludes that new streamers without an existing audience will find the standard achievement path difficult, but those with an established YouTube base can bypass criteria and start earning immediately through the KCIP program. The creator encourages viewers to follow on Kick and subscribe. ## Transcript that too from day one, then watch this video till the end. I'm going to give you the ultimate guide.
