BeckaTV gives first look into Kick\u2019s Creator Program Instagram: becka.tvStreaming star BeckaTV worked her way up from the bottom to become Kick\u2019s most popular female broadcaster in Europe \u2014 and now, she\u2019s reaping the rewards by getting a first seat in the platform\u2019s Creator Program. Rebecca Hind, AKA \u2018BeckaTV,\u2019 is nothing short of a jaw-dropping success story. We spoke with the streamer about her meteoric rise to internet stardom in just a few months\u2019 time, and how her success is landing her a major opportunity on Kick. Currently, Becka boasts a whopping 19,000 followers on Kick, a new streaming platform that aims to rival the likes of Twitch and YouTube. Although it\u2019s well-known that it can take years to build up an audience from streaming, Becka managed to garner nearly 20 thousand followers in just five months, having never used social media seriously before. In fact, Becka claims that she\u2019d just barely started streaming on Twitch when Kick contacted her this year, asking her to join their platform instead. BeckaTV rises to Kick fame in mere months \u201cWhen Kick reached out to me, they invited me to join their platform immediately as an Affiliate, which means that I could start earning subscriptions straight away,\u201d she told us. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018Why not? I haven\u2019t got anything to lose.\u2019 I\u2019d seen really good positive news about Kick. I thought, \u2018It\u2019s gonna be a completely different platform.’\u201d Becka claims she was attracted to Kick due to its differences in pushing new creators on its site versus Twitch, which has stricter requirements for what kinds of broadcasts get recommended to viewers and becoming an Affiliate. \u201cThat\u2019s what appealed to me, because I already knew I\u2019d gotten all my ducks in a row. I already knew what I was doing at that point. I knew that a platform change could be really positive. \u2026I can\u2019t remember the exact date \u2014 I suppose it doesn\u2019t matter, but I started in March and I never looked back from that point.\u201d BeckaTV started streaming on Kick in March of 2023. In the five months since then, she\u2019s managed to accrue over 19 thousand followers on the platform, thanks to her wide variety of exciting content and her open conversations with viewers. Becka isn\u2019t afraid to try new things (such as going clubbing in Turkey or smashing up a car to celebrate reaching 10k subscribers) or discuss \u201ctaboo\u201d topics with her fanbase \u2014 something she says Kick allows her to do without any punishments, as opposed to Twitch. \u201cYou could describe my streams as a bit controversial,\u201d she told us. \u201cWe discuss a lot of topics around things that people don\u2019t want to talk about and consider taboos. We talk about sexuality a lot. We talk about anything that people don\u2019t want to discuss, and we kind of share our views on it as a community, because Kick allows the space for people to voice these kinds of controversial opinions. You feel really open, you don\u2019t worry that you might get banned.\u201d \u201cOn my streams, we kind of discuss them in a mature way. We\u2019re not trying to poke fun at anyone or criticize anyone, or be prejudiced against any group or any type of person. We actually put it on a page and openly discuss it.\u201d Of course, Becka wasn\u2019t always an internet-famous streamer. In fact, she used to be a semi-pro Call of Duty player back in the day, and was part of one of the UK\u2019s very first competitive teams before she took a step back from esports to focus on other ventures. \u201cI was part of the first UK Call of Duty esports team with some other girls,\u201d she said. \u201cWe had a really great time. It was the best years of my teen life, to be honest. I made my best friends there. Everything was like, the coolest thing ever.\u201d \u201cWe did tournaments in the UK, Europe. It was great. \u2026that\u2019s kind of how I started maturing kind of quickly, because obviously I was playing in a male-dominated world. I was quite young, so I developed quite thick skin early on. In terms of being a female, you know, usually it was quite emotional getting involved with men. It was just something I kind of hit the ground running in, because most of my friends, most of my online time was spent talking with boys my age.\u201d After that, Becka started working as a packaging technologist, and was on a career path to pursue this profession for the long-term when she started streaming video games on Twitch. It wasn\u2019t long before she was approached by Kick and saw massive growth in a span of mere months \u2014 but it\u2019s not an easy gig, by far. \u201cTo start with, I was working a nine to five job, and then still streaming four or five hours in the evenings. On weekends, I was doing eight hour streams, too, while I was on Twitch. I was putting in a lot of work, a lot of hours, and now I\u2019m still working probably 16 hour days.\u201d \u201cBut the difference is because I\u2019m managing my social media platforms. The socials are what directly help push more viewers to Kick, right? In the end, that\u2019s my goal: To grow my Kick channel. I\u2019m working around the clock to bring new traffic in from everywhere that I possibly can grab, and pushing them towards Kick. So, to do that takes a lot of work. It\u2019s not just that easy.\u201d Kick announces BeckaTV as first streamer in its Creator Program It\u2019s thanks to Becka\u2019s hard work that she has earned one of the very first spots on Kick\u2019s Creator Program. As of August 14, she\u2019s signed an exclusive contract with the platform that will help her earn a living wage by streaming on the site. \u201cThis is insane,\u201d she told us. \u201cThis is something nobody else is doing.\u201d Kicks\u2019 new Creator Program will allow streamers who meet certain requirements to make money broadcasting on the platform \u2014 and Becka is one of the first to do it. According to details given to us by Becka and Kick, the Creator Program is a work in progress and will only be available to streamers who meet certain criteria. At the time of writing, other particulars about the Program are subject to change, and will be determined by the first group of creators chosen to participate in it. \u201cYou have the same access, there\u2019s no popularity contest,\u201d Becka said. \u201cYou build your community, you do the work, you can earn the salary. It\u2019s literally that simple, that straightforward.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m in there, actually living, breathing it. I\u2019ve grown up on Kick, my viewer base has developed only on Kick. So I\u2019m like a home-born and bred Kick streamer, only. It\u2019s only because of Kick that this opportunity is arising for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
