I Made $53 Streaming on Kick in a Week
45sShocking low earnings for a partnered streamer sparks curiosity and debate about streaming viability.
▶ Play ClipA small Kick streamer with an average of 100 viewers reveals his weekly earnings under the platform's partner contract, showing that while Kick offers better revenue splits than Twitch, the income is far from a livable wage for smaller creators.
The streamer has a Kick partner contract, streams 6 days a week (Monday to Saturday), each session about 4 hours, with an average of 100 viewers.
Earnings per stream: Monday $7.82 (4h10m), Tuesday $8.92 (4h38m), Wednesday $8.89 (4h44m), Thursday $8.95 (4h46m), Friday $9.31 (4h58m), Saturday $9.43 (5h). Total weekly: $53.32.
Monthly estimate: ~$213. In Peruvian soles, that's about 746 soles, which is below the minimum wage of 1,130 soles.
Large streamers with 2,000-10,000 viewers earn much more. The path to that level requires years of experience and hard work.
Focus on building social media presence and creating quality content. Time alone doesn't guarantee success; creativity and audience engagement are key.
Kick offers 95% revenue from subscriptions to the streamer (vs 50% on Twitch) and no ads, making it currently the best platform for streamers.
While Kick's partner contract provides extra income, it is not enough to live on for small streamers. The platform's better revenue split is attractive, but building a sustainable streaming career requires significant audience growth and content quality.

02:15[00:02] going to show you how much I earned in a week streaming while on the Kick contract, that is, being a partner of the green platform. It's worth who reaches an average maximum of 100
[00:16] viewers and I stream frequently from Monday to Saturday, that is, 6 days a week. My live streams last approximately 4 hours each, and in this video I'm going to show you the earnings from the first day I
[00:29] had the contract, that is, from Monday to Saturday. Now I'll show you on screen the earnings I made for each stream. In the first live stream I did 4 hours and 10 minutes and the profit was $782.
[00:46] hours and 38 minutes long and the profit increased a little, to $8.92. The third stream was 4 hours and 44 minutes long and earned $889.
[01:03] Now we're going to the fourth stream. 4 hours and 46 minutes and a profit of $895. Stream number 5co. It took me almost 5 hours. 4 hours and 58 minutes and the profit exceeded $9.31 and finally on Saturday I did a
[01:19] and finally on Saturday I did a 5-hour live stream and the profit increased to $943, meaning I had almost an average of meaning I had almost an average of $2 per hour. All of this adds up to a total of
[01:32] $532 in one week of streaming. I made $53 in one week. That means if we multiply it by four, we would get a multiply it by four, we would get a total of approximately $213.
[01:47] We convert that to my local currency, which in my case is soles because I am from Peru, it would be case is soles because I am from Peru, it would be 746 soles in a month being a streamer. While it certainly helps our economy because it's extra money, it's not
[02:01] even a minimum wage in our country, because in this case the country, because in this case the minimum wage in Peru is 11130 soles. Having said that living from streaming on Kick? Well, at least in the beginning and for
[02:15] us small streamers, no, definitely not. I've seen a lot of people who want to start streaming because they see posts from earnings. But of course, how many viewers do those streamers have? They have
[02:28] 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, 10,000 and they do generate much more money. As I told you, generate much more money. As I told you, I earn approximately $ per hour, and how much do they earn? They earn much more. That's why it's
[02:42] big streamers like them? It's very complicated. You have to work hard and it takes many years of experience. In my case, I've been doing live streams for 4 years. At first I did it on Facebook, then I switched to Twitch and
[02:55] I've been on Kick for 4 months. The road is long, it's not easy at all. So if you want to get started in the world of streaming, focus on first becoming your social media and you will gradually grow with the content you
[03:09] create. Look, I'm not saying this to discourage you, because time doesn't define a good content creator either. In a short time you can achieve great things, but you have to work hard and be very creative,
[03:21] know how to reach your audience, in other words, be a good content creator. I'm just telling you this so you're clear on things and don't get your hopes up about Kick's monetization because who knows, maybe in the future, in a few
[03:34] months, they'll remove it, because the platform is currently in beta. But without a doubt, Kick is currently the best platform above Twitch, because there are example, if someone subscribes to your channel, you only receive 50%.
[03:50] Also the topic of advertisements. In contrast, Kick doesn't have that. At Kick, if someone subscribes, although it is more expensive, you receive 95% and the platform only keeps 5%, and there is no advertising. Also, what I
[04:03] someone asks me why I should switch to Kick is that it's very popular right now, especially in Latin America, right? In conclusion, KCK continues to pay streamers just for streaming, but earnings
[04:16] depend heavily on the streamer, right? It depends a lot on your audience. Note that I've already uploaded videos on how to request verification and how to apply for the partner program. So, I recommend you watch those videos, which I'll leave in the description. And that's it
