Complete guide to becoming a KOME host. Discover how hosts earn through video calls, match calls, gifts, and text chat — and learn exactly how much you can make on KOME Live.
The KOME Host Program (also called the KOME Hostess Program) is a monetization opportunity for individuals who join the KOME Live platform as live stream performers. As a KOME host, you earn real money by interacting with users through video calls, match calls, gifts, and text chat — all within the KOME app.
Unlike traditional content platforms where earnings come from views or follower counts, KOME hosts earn directly from user interactions. Users pay in diamonds (KOME's in-app currency) to call hosts, send gifts, or chat with them. Hosts receive a percentage of these diamonds, which they can withdraw as real currency at any time.
The KOME host program is designed to be flexible — you set your own hours, work from any private space, and build a consistent income stream based on your activity level and the relationships you build with regular users. Hosts who invest in their presence on the platform regularly earn competitive income.
KOME hosts work under an agent (agency) who recruited them. The agent earns a commission from the platform separately — this does not reduce what the host earns. Hosts receive their full earnings percentage as set by the platform's rate table.
💡 Currency Note: KOME uses "diamonds" as in-app currency. The conversion rate is: 10,000 diamonds = $1 USD. Your weekly earnings are shown in diamonds and convert to USD at this rate.
To become a KOME host, you need to meet the following basic requirements set by the KOME platform.
This is the only strict age requirement. KOME does not allow anyone under 18 years old to register or participate as a host. Age verification may be required during registration. The presence of minors during live streams or calls is a serious violation.
You need an Android or iOS smartphone with the KOME app installed. The app is free to download. Your phone needs a good-quality front-facing camera (720p or higher recommended) for clear video quality during calls and live streams.
A stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection is essential for smooth video calls and live streaming. Poor connection quality leads to dropped calls and a negative user experience, which can affect your call ratings and overall earnings.
Working in a dark environment is a general violation on KOME. You need good lighting — either natural light or a ring light/lamp — and a private space where you can work without interruptions. Your background should look clean and professional.
A stable handset holder or phone tripod is highly recommended. Holding your phone by hand creates shaky video and means you can't maintain face-to-camera positioning consistently, which is a general violation on KOME.
To receive your earnings, you need either a bank account (for bank transfer withdrawals) or an Epay account. Set up your preferred payment method in your KOME app before requesting your first withdrawal.
KOME hosts earn through four main channels. Understanding each income source helps you maximize your weekly earnings strategically.
When users visit your personal profile on KOME and call you directly, you earn diamonds for every minute of the call. Your earning rate depends on how the user paid:
| Payment Type | Earning Rate |
|---|---|
| Diamonds (top-up) | 1,120–1,750 diamonds/min |
| Call Cards (Level B) | 350 diamonds/min |
| Call Cards (Level A) | 700 diamonds/min |
📌 If a user uses a call card or match call, the original earning rate applies from the second minute onward. The first minute has a different rate. If a user uses a call discount card, you receive 90% of the original price.
Match calls are platform-initiated connections where the KOME algorithm randomly matches an available host with a user looking to connect. You don't need to be on your profile page — being available for match calls means the platform brings calls to you automatically.
| Payment Type | Earning Rate |
|---|---|
| Diamonds (top-up) | 70% of call value |
| Rate range | 280–700 diamonds/min |
Match calls are an excellent way to earn even during quiet periods on your personal page. Being available for match calls ensures you're maximizing earning opportunities throughout your active time on the app.
Users can send virtual gifts to hosts during live streams or calls. These gifts have a diamond value, and hosts receive a percentage of the gift's value. Gift income is one of the most lucrative forms of earnings on KOME when hosts build engaged fan bases.
| Gift Type | Host Earning |
|---|---|
| Standard gifts | 35%–70% of gift value |
The exact gift percentage depends on the specific gift type sent. More expensive, premium gifts generally yield a higher percentage for the host. Building relationships with users who enjoy sending gifts is a powerful long-term income strategy.
Users can send text messages to hosts, either as paid messages or as part of VIP membership perks. Hosts earn diamonds for each paid text message received.
| Message Type | Earning Rate |
|---|---|
| Paid messages | 35–140 diamonds/message |
| VIP user messages | Free for the user |
Text chat is a lower-effort way to stay connected with users and earn between calls. Even when you're not live, responding to messages from regular users keeps the relationship warm and encourages future calls and gift sending.
KOME host earnings are measured in diamonds (points). The salary table below shows what your weekly accumulated diamonds are worth in USD. Remember: 10,000 diamonds = $1 USD.
| Weekly Points (Diamonds) | USD Salary |
|---|---|
| 10,000 | $1 |
| 100,000 | $10 |
| 200,000 | $20 |
| 500,000 | $50 |
| 1,000,000 | $100 |
| 5,000,000 | $500 |
| 10,000,000 | $1,000 |
⚠️ Withdrawal Rules: The minimum withdrawal amount is $10. Withdrawals must be in multiples of $10 (e.g., $10, $20, $30). Any remaining balance below $10 stays in your wallet until your next withdrawal request.
You can submit a withdrawal request at any time, 24 hours a day. There is no fixed withdrawal day for hosts.
After submitting your request, KOME audits it within 3 working days (UTC+8). Holidays may cause slight delays; agents are notified in advance.
Once the audit is approved, payment is sent via your registered bank transfer or Epay account. Ensure your payment details are correct before requesting withdrawal.
If you selected "hostess self withdrawal" when joining, you receive payment directly from KOME. Otherwise, it goes to your agent first, who then pays you.
These tips come directly from KOME's platform guidelines. Hosts who follow these practices consistently earn significantly more than those who don't.
Work in a private space with good lighting. Wear makeup, dress presentably, and use a stable phone holder. Your visual presentation is the first thing users see — it directly impacts whether they choose to call you or move on.
Keep your face clearly visible in the camera at all times. Don't look down at your phone, away from the camera, or do unrelated activities while live. Users who can't see your face will not stay — and it's also a platform violation.
When a user calls you, always greet them first and enthusiastically. Guide the conversation, ask questions, and make them feel heard and valued. A positive first impression encourages longer calls and gifts.
Calls under 60 seconds generate minimal earnings. Focus on extending every call beyond one minute by being engaging, asking questions, and keeping the conversation interesting. This is the single most effective habit for increasing your daily diamond earnings.
When a call reaches 1–2 minutes, you can gently ask the user for a gift. Start by suggesting a small gift and build up gradually as the relationship develops. Never pressure users — make gift requests feel natural and appreciative.
After a call ends, send the user a thank-you message. You can also ask when they'll be free for another call or mention when you'll be live next. These follow-up messages create loyal users who return regularly — which is the foundation of consistent host income.
Understanding and following KOME's host rules is essential to maintaining a healthy account and consistent earnings. Violations can result in temporary or permanent bans.
General violations result in warnings. Accumulating 3 warnings in a single day results in a 24-hour ban from live streaming. A total of 5 warnings across any time period results in a permanent account ban.
General violation behaviors:
Serious violations trigger immediate action. Three serious violations in one day or five in total = permanent account ban. The following behaviors result in immediate permanent bans regardless of history:
Strictly forbidden at all times:
✅ Simple Rule: Be professional, be genuine, keep your face on camera in a well-lit space, and never break platform content rules. Following these basics keeps your account safe and your earnings consistent.
