[00:01] within KCK, well, stick around because this is your video. Hi how are things? I'm Harry and I create content for content creators. First of all, you have to KCK you only need one small requirement, which is to have streamed

[00:15] necessarily have to be consecutive, but in total, you must have streamed at least 5 hours in the last 30 days. Okay? So, in order to directly to our channel, then to the creator dashboard, and we'll

[00:30] revenue. We will see this button called "Complete Stripe Connect setup". So, we're going to need a Stripe Connect account to start receiving our payments and to start receiving

[00:43] our funds. Let's click here. Let's choose our country here. redirect us here. In this section we will enter our email address. I recommend that you use the same email address you are using to

[00:55] log in to Kick. Then we're going to click where it says send and enter a phone number. We click send. Here it will ask us to phone number. We're going to receive a code directly on our cell phone, so

[01:10] directly on our cell phone, so let's check it. 1 2. personal data, which is our legal name and surname, our date of

[01:22] birth and our home address, our city and our state. Once we have filled in this information about our address, date of birth and our name, we will click on continue. And

[01:34] bank details, which basically will match the name we have on our bank account. We click on continue and wait.

[01:48] our data. We expect everything to be correct and we will finally complete the form, which is the W8. This form is important to avoid having to pay the portion of taxes that correspond in the

[02:01] United States and instead make our tax payment in our country. So, it says here, "You are a United States person for federal tax purposes ." So we'll say no. And here we're going to put the

[02:13] corresponding data, right? Our information that we already have. Your permanent residence address shown above. We'll say yes. Ah, here, just with our first and last name. Remember that the first and last name must be

[02:26] previously registered on the form at the beginning. If they don't match, the hotel will accept it. So, let's click send here . After this, we just click on accept and send.

[02:45] automatically. Here we'll see the total payment we can receive monthly, the subscriptions we can have, the total number of subscriptions given away, also the chat

[02:57] engagement, which I'll explain a little later, and the in September. What is engagement chat? Basically, it's the income generated by kicks, which is when someone makes a

[03:11] donation to you through kicks, which are like bits on Twitch, that way, and subscriptions work exactly the same way. How much does each of these cost? Look, let's go into a stream

[03:25] so we can understand it more easily. Okay, let's go into, for example, this account here and if we go, for example, to the we'll see that the cost of a subscription is $4.99.

[03:40] kicks, we see that 100 kicks is equivalent to $50, which is you can see on this side, we take into account that KCK only keeps 5% of these donations and subscriptions. So, the

[03:56] truth is that it's going pretty well. I 'm not really sure if the kicks part is the same at 955 or if in this case it ends up with an even lower percentage. I've heard many people say that, well, the kicks only

[04:08] take a small part compared to the subscriptions, subscriptions, so KCK only takes 5% and you as the streamer keep 95%. And if you want to earn even more here in achievements you'll see that there's an

[04:22] option called "path to becoming a partner". As a partner, you can start getting paid for the hours you stream, but to do that you need to meet 200 requirements. The first is to get 25 subscriptions

[04:35] is, paid subscriptions and does not include gifted subscriptions. Having reached a total of 75 viewers in the last 30 days and having last 30 days. As I've said many times, they don't have to be

[04:50] interspersed, right? For example, here I have a total of 5.9 in several days that I have done live and have had a total of 250 different users chatting in the last 30 days. This means that in the last 30

[05:04] days, the sum of all those users has accumulated 250 interactions in the chat and reached a total of 250 followers. Once you've achieved that, you can apply to become a partner and start earning money

[05:17] for the time you spend doing live streams. Basically, that's all you live streams within KCK. I hope this video has been very helpful to you. Let me know what kind of live streams you do here, and maybe someone in the

[05:29] Have a great day, may the force be with you, and see you in the force be with you, and see you in the next video.
