Earnings on the Internet, Google Adsense, Affiliate marketing, Youtube channel - real analysis!?

 Google AdSense displays ads and counts clicks from all territories, but earnings depend on the visitor's country. Here's how it works:


1. Clicks are counted from all countries, but CPC varies

Google AdSense records all clicks, regardless of where they come from.

The cost per click (CPC - Cost Per Click) depends on the country of the visitor and the advertisers competing for that space.

America, Canada, Australia, UK and Germany have the highest CPC, while the Balkan countries are at a lower level.

2. The problem of low income for the Serbian language

Since your blog is in Serbian, most visitors come from Serbia, BiH, Montenegro, etc.

Ads in Serbian usually have a lower value, because there are not many advertisers who pay high prices for ads in the Balkans.

CPC in Serbia can be $0.01 - $0.05 per click, while in America it can be $1 - $5 per click.

3. Is it worth placing AdSense on a blog in Serbian?

✅ YES, if you have a lot of visits!


If your blog has thousands or tens of thousands of visits per day, a solid income can be collected.

It is not only CPC that matters, but also RPM (earnings per 1000 impressions) which can bring in additional income.

❌ NO, if you expect quick and big earnings


If you have few visits, the earnings will be symbolic (a few dollars a month).

Perhaps a better choice would be affiliate marketing or sponsored posts.

4. How to improve earnings?

If you want to earn more from AdSense:

✅ Write content in English (or another language with a higher CPC).

✅ Attract visitors from developed countries (SEO optimization for a global audience).

✅ Uses other sources of monetization (Affiliate marketing, product sales, sponsored articles).

✅ Connect AdSense with Ezoic or Mediavine (they pay better for ads, but require more visits).


Conclusion

If your blog has an exclusively Balkan audience, AdSense will bring you very little profit, but it's not useless if you have a lot of traffic. If you want more serious income, consider alternative monetization methods.


Do you have any specific idea how to monetize your blog besides AdSense? 😊


What are all the YouTube channel earning opportunities available?




YouTube offers multiple ways to monetize, but earnings depend on multiple factors, including language, audience, niche, and geographic location. Here's an overview of all the earning opportunities:


1. Earnings from ads (AdSense monetization)

How does it work?

When you join the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), Google AdSense displays ads on your videos.

You earn money based on:

CPM (Cost Per Mille) → earnings per 1000 views with ads.

CPC (Cost Per Click) → if someone clicks on an ad in your video.

VRPM (Viewable Revenue Per Mille) → earnings per 1000 monetized views.

What are the conditions for monetization?

To start earning from ads, you must meet the following criteria: ✅ 1000+ subscribers

✅ 4000 hours of viewing in the last 12 months or 10 million views of Shorts videos in the last 90 days

✅ No violation of YouTube rules

✅ Linked AdSense account


How much can be earned?

💰 CPM varies by country and niche:


US, UK, Canada, Australia → $4 - $20 CPM

Balkans (Serbia, Croatia, BiH...) → $0.5 - $3 CPM

🔹 Example:

If the video has 100,000 views and the CPM is $2, the total earnings would be about $200, but YouTube takes 45% of that, leaving you with about $110.


2. YouTube Shorts monetization

Short video clips (Shorts) can bring income if you are part of the Partner program.

Earnings from Shorts ads are not high, as they are shared among all creators.

A better option is to use Shorts as a tool to grow your channel and drive your audience to longer videos.

3. Memberships on the channel (YouTube Memberships)

Subscribers can pay a monthly membership fee in exchange for exclusive benefits (eg special emojis, early access to videos).

YouTube takes 30% of the commission, and you keep 70%.

💡 Example: If 100 people pay $5 a month, your earnings are about $350 a month (after YouTube commission).


4. Super Chat and Super Stickers (During live streams)

Viewers can pay to have their message highlighted during the live broadcast.

Super Stickers are similar, but animated.

YouTube takes a 30% commission.

💡 Example: If you win $100 from Super Chat, you have $70 left.


5. Affiliate marketing (Earnings without AdSense!)

You recommend products in video descriptions and receive a commission from each sale.

Amazon Affiliate, Aliexpress, Udemy, Hosting Companies, Tech Products - Great Earning Programs.

💡 Example: If you record phone reviews and put an affiliate link to Amazon, you can earn up to 10% commission per purchase.


6. Sponsored Content

Brands can pay you to promote them in your videos.

Earnings depend on niche, number of followers and audience engagement.

💡 Example: Influencers in the tech niche often get $500 - $5000 per sponsored video.


7. Sale of goods (Merchandise)

You can sell t-shirts, hats, mugs and other products directly through the YouTube Merchandise shelf (if you have 10,000+ subscribers).

Teespring, Spreadshirt, Redbubble are popular platforms for this kind of sale.

💡 Example: If you sell 100 shirts at $20, with a profit of $10 per shirt, that's $1000 in profit.


Which earning model is the best?

If you're targeting a Balkan audience, go for it
