I Streamed 30 Days Straight on Kick – Here’s What Happened

Was it worth it? Did I grow my audience and earn money? In this in-depth case study, I put Kick to the test with a 30-day non-stop streaming challenge. Here is everything you need to know.

Why I Decided to Stream for 30 Days Straight

Kick is making waves in the live streaming world. But is it actually worth the hype? I committed to a full month of daily streams to see whether a new creator could grow faster here compared to Twitch or YouTube.

My Growth Timeline

• Week 1: 0–20 followers. (Very sporadic traffic).
• Week 2: Hit 50+ followers. Chat started becoming active.
• Week 3: 100 followers. Averaging 4–6 concurrent viewers.
• Week 4: Reached 150+ followers, 8–12 average viewers, and my first paying subscribers.

Verdict: Kick’s discoverability for small streamers is currently significantly better than Twitch’s.

💰 Financial Breakdown: What I Earned

This is the part everyone wants to know. Here is exactly what hit my bank account:

• Subscriptions & Donations: $250
• Affiliate Commissions: $125
• Brand Sponsorships: $300
• Total Earnings: $675.00

While $675 isn't life-changing money, it is significantly higher than my first month on Twitch, largely due to Kick's generous revenue split.

The Challenges

Streaming daily isn't easy. Here were the biggest hurdles:

1. Burnout: No rest days is mentally exhausting.
2. Dead Air: Starting with 0 viewers means talking to yourself for hours.
3. Balance: Managing a job + streaming is stressful.

Top Tips for New Kick Streamers

If you plan to try this challenge, do these three things:

• Promote Elsewhere: Kick has discovery, but TikTok/Twitter is still king for traffic.
• Network: Kick's community is smaller and tighter. Talk to other streamers.
• Presentation: Use quality overlays. Look like a pro from Day 1.

Final Verdict: Is Kick Worth It?

Yes. For new streamers, the 95/5 split and the "new platform energy" make it a better place to start than the oversaturated Twitch directory.
