Kick Pays Small Streamers $10/hr?
45sChallenges the common belief that only big streamers make money on Kick, sparking debate among creators.
▶ Play Clip"Title accurately reflects the content: debunking myths about Kick earnings with real examples."
The video discusses the earning potential on Kick, countering claims that only big streamers make money. It highlights examples of smaller creators earning significant income through the Kick partner program and challenges, arguing that the platform offers real opportunities for average streamers.
Kick does not allow pre-recorded videos for monetization; reruns are allowed but don't qualify for partner pay.
Hasan argued that only a small handful of big, propped-up individuals make money on Kick, using blue check marks to lure people.
Prime won a Kick bounty by streaming 563 hours in a month, earning $16,300 from partner income plus $20,000 from the challenge.
Prime's $16,300 divided by 563 hours equals about $28 per hour, not including subs and donations.
Prime made $16,000 in one 30-day period on Kick, plus $20,000 from the challenge, totaling $36,000-$40,000 for the month.
Kick does not pay for hours when the streamer is not live, preventing abuse of subathons.
Tasty, a smaller streamer with 100-200 CCV, has a highly supportive community that gifted over 10,000 subs.
The host shows examples of normal streamers on Kick, like an artist and a Call of Duty streamer, to counter Hasan's claim.
A streamer with 30-60 CCV makes about $10 an hour on Kick, which is not possible on Twitch at that viewership.
On Twitch, 30 CCV earns nothing, while on Kick, the same viewership can earn $7-10 per hour with 95% sub revenue and no ads.
Streamers can now multistream across platforms (Twitch, Kick, YouTube, TikTok, X) to maximize income and discovery.
Kick offers genuine earning opportunities for small streamers, contrary to claims that only big names benefit. With better revenue splits and no ads, it's a viable platform for growth.

10:04[00:00] them gay. I'm going to mute AI. Does Kick allow pre-recorded videos like YouTube? And if so, can your videos be monetized? No. Not in terms of the pay. You can do reruns on Kick just like Twitch, but you do not get the kick
[00:15] partner pay for doing such. Here's a good one that went out. So, there's been a lot of recent talk uh you guys remember uh we talked about with uh Hassan putting out there that every one of these accounts is basically doing
[00:28] promo for Kick. all the blue check mark power farmers as he has a blue check mark as a way to try to lure people into streaming there. Hassan basically trying to articulate this idea that the only people that are making money on kick are
[00:40] just a small handful of the big propped up individuals. last couple months, Hick had this this bounty thing where you could the the leading up to Dream Hack,
[00:54] the person with the most watched hours or or something like that under 100 CCV would win X amount of money. The creator that won this gifted Prime. So, Prime streamed 563
[01:09] hours in a month. in a [ __ ] month to get the watch time. So, this would be April. So, this would be April. Um, first off, who's recording this?
[01:21] Activate your [ __ ] windows. I make 10ish an hour here, but I put in minimal minimal effort into it. I know I can make more. And what's your like typical CCV? Not the juice. What's your like typical CCV where you get $10 an hour?
[01:34] Like that. So, this would be April. So, this would be April. Um, this is 30 streams. So, I streamed 30 different streams in the month of April, and that would be my partner income. $16,300 just from partner income. Now, uh like
[01:52] he said here, he streamed 563 hours, but still, I I don't know why people are are a lot of hours. So 16,36
[02:06] divided by $563 hours equals $28 an hour. Why? Why? Like why why are we discrediting that? First and foremost, why are we discrediting
[02:18] world. He's got a Facebook following. Um he's got Prime, I will say, has so I got is like one of those people. He has a diehard community. There's like a 100 to
[02:36] 200 [ __ ] people that they [ __ ] with this guy. He he his community is like ride or die with him. During his subathons, people were like staying up with his subathons to help his his numbers hit. And like guys, sure, like some streamers
[02:51] You're so right. But to articulate this idea that you need to be a [ __ ] famous celebrity to uh earn a good keep on the platform is is stupid. It's so
[03:05] stupid. It's just it's not true. He made 30% of my yearly uh in in a few months. [ __ ] the haters. No, that was a month. It wasn't a few months. That was one 30-day period on kick. 16k in 30 streams, brother. And you know, I think
[03:22] the good thing to point this out is like one positive thing about the the the kick program, the kick partner program. So when he's doing some of these subathons, by the way, he cannot if you're doing a subathon on kick, you
[03:38] cannot kick claim the kick pay while you're doing something like sleeping. When you're not on stream, you cannot claim the pay. This is how they avoid people just doing crazy degenerate subathons and just juicing [ __ ]
[03:53] money. Those were the hours where he had to be live. And again, guys, that's ex I'm I don't encourage anybody to do that, by the way. To to to stream 563 hours in a [ __ ] month. That's 18 hours a day on average. Nope. Nope, bro.
[04:11] You're literally just streaming and then getting off. Streaming and streaming sleeping six hours. And again, there was a challenge with this. It was like uh first place won $20,000. So on top of the $16,000 he got uh uh doing this
[04:26] challenge being live that long, he also won $20,000 on top of that. So you you those people like he's never been the biggest creators, but at one point he
[04:38] did like the longest [ __ ] subathon and was a small creator just because [ __ ] does it right. I I wouldn't recommend that. I wouldn't do that. Too
[04:50] many for healthy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The the work life balance. And didn't, you you wouldn't stand by it or not. He's got an extremely supportive wife. uh a a beautiful supportive family uh that that was behind him during this
[05:07] journey. And I mean, rightfully so. And in a month time because of doing this challenge, guys, this isn't even including the subscribers that he got. He he's one of those streamers like he gets a fair amount of uh subs from his
[05:19] community, a a fair amount of subs and donations from his community um as well. So like, yeah, he he went to extremes for a month that none of us would do. I
[05:31] wouldn't suggest, but as a result, he made 16K from the the kick partner on top of winning $20,000 from the challenge on top of whatever subs. This this guy took a challenge and turned it into a uh a 40 or 36 to $40,000 month.
[05:48] That's that's an insane month. I wouldn't go to extremes for that. I wouldn't do that. But he did that. And the point being is kick still allowed the option for him to do that. regardless regardless of of like how we
[06:03] would live things, regardless of what what how we would go about things, they still allowed that. Like I said, he he's got a he's got a crazy community. There are a few people like that. I I use uh like another example. This is a creator
[06:15] that you most likely don't really ever hear about, uh Tasty. He's just primarily a streamer and he's got a [ __ ] amazing community. 150 days in a row of hitting a sub goal, his sub goal, and his sub goals are insane. He gets
[06:30] Tessy gets an insane amount of subs. I'm using this as an example because Tessie has never been one of those guys that like congruently breaks like 300 400 500 CCV. He's got his community. It's like 100 or 200 people that that come in
[06:46] actively. They're just so super supportive. They're super supportive. He's got somebody in his kickstream already that has passed 10,000 gifted subs. It's insane. And not everybody has that. Not everybody's going to get that.
[07:00] Not everybody's going to come across that. But I just I hate this world where people compare and [ __ ] on other people because they get X, Y, and Z. But it's So when [ __ ] bags who are multi-millionaires on Twitch and are
[07:17] clearly disconnected from what it's like to be an upandcoming creator in this guy literally caught himself in a lie in in in two parts of this tweet. Kick
[07:31] famous causing the false to believe the average Joe will generate revenue. And then and then this rich and famous streamer gives you guys an advice on how
[07:43] to stream and he blatantly lies to you guys right here. He lies and said of beautiful people here. Just open up
[07:57] Just click homepage. H, perfect timing. Does this looks Does this look weird to you guys? This doesn't look weird to me. This is this guy's first verified stream. 728 followers just painting some stuff
[08:11] live. Does this look weird? This looks like just some art. But Assan wants you to believe that that only weirdos stream here. That only weirdos stream here. You right now. This guy's one of the funniest [ __ ] in Call of Duty
[08:29] right now. There's nothing weird about him. Nothing. But yet, Hassan wants you to believe that there's only weirdos that stream on on kick and Twitch has from the from the truth. Couldn't be further from the truth. I make about
[08:43] 10ish an hour here, but I put in minimal effort into it. I know I could make more if I put more effort into it. Uh it's probably 30 to 60 CCV. Uh but four streams I did uh fluctuated from 200 to 20. The rates were way higher on the
[08:57] heavier CCV. Of course, of course. This guy's just a wholehearted, just like fun guy. Just a former military uh retired just streams on the side. There's literally nothing weird about this. Uh even him at a 30 to 60 CCV is able to
[09:10] generate $10 an hour. Guys, I don't I don't know about you all. I mean, not verified or anything yet, but I've been here 6 months and content is very niche, but I'm not It is. It is. It is. And and there's some categories that aren't
[09:22] grown yet. So that makes it hard for like the trickling down. But Cinema, if you were partnered, if you were verified and partnered, would you turn down $10 an hour for [ __ ] 50 viewers? I'd be happy with just $1 right now. Yeah. I I
[09:36] just think we're so I think we uh I think we're just so lost in like what you're getting here. And individuals like this just diminish or or try to [ __ ] on the positives from the opportunity. This is an opportunity cuz
[09:51] cuz even Beast who gets $10 an hour, if he wanted to go hard this month and and [ __ ] grind and just have like a crazy month for whatever reason, he could do so if he wanted to. 30 CCV on Twitch ain't making Tyler dollar. Yeah, that's
[10:05] very true. And and the key thing is you're not relying on your community to making high dollars. It takes away from the content because you're focusing on that's a horrible way to look at it. Like, look at it this way. If you can go
[10:22] live on both Twitch and Kick and do the same thing, do like what you said you enjoy and you get 50% of your revenue taken and you get forceful ads, which you get a horrible cut off at 40 CCV. But on Kick, you can make 7 8 9 $10 an
[10:36] hour off of 40 CCV doing the same [ __ ] thing with no [ __ ] ads and you take just doing what you're doing anyways? The the point that I'm trying discredit what it is because you see a big flash number from Asmin where Asmin
[10:55] is bringing tens of thousands new people to the website. Of course, his is juice to the [ __ ] max. He is way more valuable than you and I. But the thing is, you just being here in comparison to on Twitch, you could be making seven 89
[11:12] $10 an hour doing what you're already doing. Wouldn't that be a good feeling for doing so? If someone's going to be making money, it should be you, right? like they create that opportunity, right? I don't I don't think that's hard
[11:26] to argue. The reasoning for pointing that out is because individuals that are against kick as a platform are trying to paint that as a negative picture, Yeah, we're not even touching base with that point. We're just giving the idea
[11:42] as if you're just stuck with that CCV. That's not even to mention suma. You funnel more people over to kick and your pay goes up. It's not locked. You're not
[11:54] stuck. If you monetize what you love, don't let the number get you twisted. out because like as we're having this conversation with people across all platforms, it's like that's the point. We are in the era of multistreaming.
[12:08] Even if you don't make a [ __ ] ton on on Twitch or Kick or YouTube, the fact that you can do it all at once across the board and benefit as a
[12:20] on TikTok right now. Maybe I should be, but Tik Tok's just so I don't know, boys. I don't [ __ ] know. Overall, don't let the the the haters of kick
[12:36] articulate the idea that there's no place for you to have an opportunity here. You stream 5 hours on kick, you get 955. If you stream on YouTube,
[12:48] everybody has the availability for the SEO and discovery. The old way of stream on Twitch only to build a live stream following and go work everywhere else. It's slowly dying. RP to the days
[13:03] where the only way that you could create a live stream audience was only on Twitch. That's just the No, man. You only build a community on Twitch, bro. There's Facebook, there's YouTube, there's Tik Tok, there's Kick, there's
[13:17] X. They're working on it.
