[00:45] YouTube earnings when they had channels and after migrating to Kik. I'm not saying this to YouTube to upset anyone, nor am I suggesting people abandon YouTube and switch to Kik. YouTube is a great platform too, but
[00:59] Kik has become specialized for streaming. Now, we'll learn together how to create a Kik account, what the monetization requirements are, and how to receive your earnings. start the video. The first thing you'll do is type "Kik" into your Google Play Store
[01:18] or on your phone. It works on both phones and computers, but I'll explain it on a computer because I'm more comfortable that way. You can download the app from Google Play or the App Store; just type "Kik" and the app will download. Now, go to
[01:34] the Kik platform and register normally. Create an account and register using your Google account without any problems. Okay, we'll register together using Google. They might also ask for your email address and your date of birth, etc. As you can see, this platform is for
[01:51] streams, but for people who stream games live. As you can see in the image, it's a dark platform, but we can convert it to live streaming, but not right now. Everyone you see in these live streams is streaming or going live, and of course, each of these people His earnings
[02:08] depend on the number of views he collects or the support he receives. Now, I want to know how to meet the monetization requirements on the Kik platform. We already know how to log
[02:21] in using Google or Facebook; that's up to you. But when you go to your profile, it says, "Watch your channel here." You progress through the levels of your channel as you watch other people's content. This is
[02:36] one of the requirements, and we'll look at it together now. Here, it says "Content Creator Control Panel." If you click on it like this, it's your control panel where you can create sessions or start your stream. All of this is done using something called a link or key
[02:53] . You take this stream and upload it to a program called OPS or OPES. This program is very well-known for live streams. When you scroll down, you'll find "Earnings."
[03:06] This will tell you... Payments are not yet activated. Please ensure you complete the Creator Achievements to activate payments. Of course, to earn money, you need to know the requirements. Here, it tells you to go to Achievements.
[03:21] The first thing you need to do is verify your account. We'll see how to verify your account together. That's number one. Number two tells you to become a partner on Kik, similar to YouTube partners. Here, too, to start earning money, let's go to the
[03:37] verification process. It tells you to reach 10 subscribers in the last 30 days. That's number one. Reach 50 viewers in the last 30 days to start streaming. You should get 50 views within a month. Of course, you can easily get 50 views, don't worry. Engage with the community for
[03:54] 15 hours in the last 30 days. Here, it tells you about something called Chatterbox. You'll find this feature when you participate in live chats. This is the first step
[04:06] to verifying your account and getting the verification badge. Then you can move on to the second step, which is becoming a partner in the
[04:18] Kik Partner Program. What does the Kik Partner Program offer? It allows you to monetize your channel and reach a total of 25 subscribers within a month, which you should be able to achieve easily. It also helps you grow your channel's community and reach an average of 75 views per day in the last 30 days. Honestly,
[04:35] the requirements are much better and more relaxed than YouTube's. Connecting with the community is important. Here, you're told to stream for 30 hours in the last 30 days and use a smart boxer to connect with
[04:48] 250 chat subscribers and increase your channel's followers. You could potentially reach around 250 subscribers. When you compare this to YouTube's requirements, you'll see that YouTube requires over 1000
[05:00] subscribers and 4000 watch hours in the last 365 days. Some people struggle to reach the required hours, while others struggle to reach the subscriber count. However, you can now use the Kik platform
[05:12] as a monetization platform to generate revenue by streaming or live broadcasts. To find streams or live streams, like this one, to see
[05:24] how many views it's generating, you scroll down. I don't want to create a printout, but I'm trying to blur its image. Okay, let's look at another live stream. We can
[05:38] choose one like this one. Here you'll see the gifts you're looking at. For example, this person has four gifts. The price of each gift is [price missing]. So you can send the gift.
[05:50] These gifts have prices, just like on TikTok. Here, to send him a gift, as you can see, get a Kicks. The gift starts from $5 up to
[06:03] $105. He gives you these prices so you can reach him for support on this platform. But outside of this support, you can earn money from views, but it
[06:15] relies entirely on streams or live streams. That's the end of the explanation. I hope the explanation was helpful. If you liked it, please don't forget to support us with a like and subscribe. See you in a new episode. Take care, goodbye.
