▶ Play ClipThis video by an Algerian YouTuber explains how to make money on YouTube in Algeria, covering channel setup, monetization requirements, and the impact of viewer location on earnings. The creator shares his own low RPM (revenue per thousand views) to illustrate the challenges Algerian creators face.
The creator claims viewers will become rich from YouTube in Algeria and promises to reveal his earnings.
The video is divided into: 1) opening a channel and monetization conditions, 2) becoming a successful YouTuber in Algeria, 3) summary.
Content must not contain violence, incitement, or illegal activities. It should be clean, funny, or creative.
Need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours within 12 months.
Violations like content featuring children or violence can lead to strikes; three strikes terminate the channel.
RPM (revenue per thousand views) varies: Algeria $0.5-$1, Saudi Arabia $0.80-$7, USA $3-$20. This is due to advertiser budgets.
YouTube suggests videos based on language. English content reaches US viewers (higher RPM), Algerian dialect reaches Algerians (lower RPM).
The creator shows his RPM is 0.03 euros per thousand views, far below the claimed minimum of $0.5.
In the last 28 days, he earned 8.44 euros. Over 365 days, his RPM for shorts is 0.
Making money on YouTube in Algeria is challenging due to low RPM from local viewers. Creators can improve earnings by targeting higher-paying audiences through language choice (English or Gulf Arabic) and creating content with higher advertiser appeal.

11:08[00:02] hope you're doing well. Today, my brothers, you who are watching me, you will become rich and you will be one of the richest men in Algeria, all from YouTube. The perplexing question here is, is this really true or not? And if it is, my brothers, can you make money from YouTube in Algeria
[00:17] or not? In this video, I will show you all the details you need to become rich in Algeria from YouTube, and I will also show you how much I earn from YouTube. Before we start this video, let's pray for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and let's start making money from
[00:32] and let's start making money from YouTube. Spider-Man is almost here, guys! Spider-Man is almost here, guys! This video, my brothers, will be divided into three parts. The first part is how to open a channel and what are the conditions for making money on YouTube. The second part
[00:46] is how you can become a successful YouTuber in Algeria and how you will make money from YouTube. And the final part, which will be the summary of everything, is what you will understand. Whoever understands the first part will understand. The second part, if you understand the first part, will understand the summary completely. Because if you don't
[01:00] understand the first part, you won't understand the summary. That's why it's important for you to watch the whole video to understand understand something, which is that you must adhere to the YouTube Partner Program policy. This has
[01:15] simple, clear rules that you mustn't violate. For example, your content shouldn't contain violence, incitement, or illegal activities. Your content should be clean, funny, or creative—I don't know, any content at all. The important thing is that it doesn't violate
[01:31] the policies. The second condition is that you meet the requirements. The first requirement is to get 1 subscriber, which is much easier than the second condition, which is to have 4,000 watch hours which is to have 4,000 watch hours within 12 months or 360 days. 4,000
[01:45] watch hours will be very challenging. How to achieve these two is obvious: create content and publish it, and God willing... To succeed means this is what you understand: Algeria has a lot of successful content, and you can create your own content that will make you successful. Also, you need to be a bit unique, not just a
[02:00] clown who argues with people. Okay, for example, my content isn't new; it's critical content. But what does it matter if I have a special touch? Honestly, I don't have any special touch. Okay, now you're saying you opened a channel, met the requirements, and made good content. Here we go back to the first step, which is that you don't
[02:15] violate YouTube's policies or rules. Don't violate them because if you make content that violates YouTube's policies, you'll have a lot of problems with your channel. And I'll videos that feature children or
[02:29] videos that contain violence because they might give you a strike. A strike is a violation; if you get three strikes, your whole channel will be gone. They tell you to be very careful. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! What are you doing? Are you watching this video? I've put a lot of effort into this and a lot of work into it, and you haven't even liked it!
[02:44] So what do you want me to do? You should like it and go live! Honestly, that would be a huge support to me, bro. So, like it and watch the rest of the video. You'll tell me you've completed all the initial steps and chosen your content. For example, let's say it's comedy.
[03:00] Here's something to understand: from the beginning, when
[03:23] your channel. You're probably going to ask me, "What are you talking about, Abdul Rahman Batcho? What's the difference between being Algerian and being American or Saudi?" First of all, we'll say that you should be Being Algerian means you're last, being Saudi
[03:38] means you're average, and being American means you're the best. I'm American, I'm Saudi, and I'm part of it. What's the difference between them? Tell me the difference. The difference, my friend, is RPM. That's where you'll lose a lot, partner. My mom lost a lot, and I made Algerian content, and I almost regretted it,
[03:55] lot, partner. My mom lost a lot, and I made Algerian content, and I almost regretted it, RPM, my friend? RPM is how much you earn per thousand views. There's something called CPM, but let's leave that out because YouTube calculates that, you won't calculate it
[04:11] directly. What benefits you is RPM. Even statistics. Didn't I tell you, RPM is how much you earn per thousand views? That's where you'll get confused, partner. You'll tell me there's a difference between American and...
[04:27] There's a huge difference between a Saudi and an Algerian. And here, it's not you, the person creating the content, whether they're from Algeria, America, or Saudi Arabia. No, no, it's not you, the content creator. This is where the language factor comes in, which we talked about earlier, and which I didn't quite understand. I'll
[04:41] explain it briefly. If you speak English in your video, YouTube won't suggest that video to Algerians because the language isn't Algerian, or even our dialect, or Arabic. So, it will suggest that video to Americans or
[04:57] those who speak English. We say it's suggested to people who like English or are in America. And here, your viewers will be from America. So, if you have 100,000 views, they're all from America. But if you speak our dialect in the video you made, YouTube will suggest it to
[05:11] people in Algeria because that Algerian dialect is what people suggest. In Germany, no, you don't get that. Let's say, for example, we have 100,000 Algerian viewers and 100,000 American viewers. The RPM for the American viewer, you know, can
[05:28] go from $3 to $10, or even $ 20 per thousand views. This is $3, $ 10, or $20 depending on the content, but it won't go below $3 because that's an
[05:40] below $3 because that's an American viewer. As for Algerian views, you know that at the very most, at the very most, they don't exceed $1. Now you're saying, "Oh, $1 is good." I told you that at the very most, the most content we have in Algeria
[05:55] earns $1 per thousand views. And I don't think there's anything that earns $1. I don't know, but I don't think so. My brothers, the RPM ranges from RPM ranges from 0.5 to 0.80. By God, $1,
[06:10] I told you that's the most The maximum I'll earn is $1, and the real problem is my content, my brothers. To put it simply, I'll tell you my RPM; you won't believe it at all. And how does this percentage increase? I mean, from zero point one up to 10, and I don't know. It depends on
[06:26] your content. For example, educational content won't be the same as my critical content. Obviously, educational content will have a higher RPM than my critical content. That's when you need to know how to choose your content to increase your RPM. But not everyone
[06:38] RPM. But not everyone like. For example, if I like criticism, I'll make criticism. Someone who likes gaming will make gaming content. They won't even look at RPM and such things; they'll watch the content they like and
[06:50] create it, unless someone wants to enter the YouTube field just to make money, without caring about the content or anything else. And let's not forget, my brothers, the Saudi viewer—let's say the Gulf viewer. In Saudi Arabia, my brothers, let's say 100,000 views earn you at least $0.80 up to
[07:06] least $0.80 up to $7. This percentage varies depending on the content. You might say that the lowest-quality content in the Gulf can easily earn $70 from 100,000 views. It can easily earn $70 from 100,000 views. It
[07:32] could be $70, $60, or $80, depending on the content. The highest possible earnings are $500 from those 100,000 views, and as I said, the percentage varies depending on the content. In America, from those 100,000 views, you might earn $400 or $300. At most, you could earn $1500, $1200, or even $1. I don't know, it depends on the content. Now, let's talk about the poor, struggling Algerian who, at the very least, Algerian who, at the very least, will earn... wait, let me calculate it, my brothers. Multiply
[07:45] will earn... wait, let me calculate it, my brothers. Multiply 0.5 by 100,000, and he'll earn $5 from 100,000 views. That's the lowest estimate. Let's say the highest estimate is 0.80. 100,000 views will earn you
[07:57] $80. That's all there is to it. And you know that $80 is n't something just anyone can earn in Algeria. I told you it depends on the content. Not everyone can make educational content, and not everyone can make content like car-related content. This is something we can't all do. Also, you know
[08:12] that the people who make those videos work for five or four days to earn $80. So, let's say $80 is worth 23.8 million, my brothers, for five days' worth of work. Now you're saying, "I spend five days working and I earn 1.8 million? May God bless you!" I forgot to
[08:28] tell you that you won't get 100,000 views easily. That's the first thing. And secondly, five days' worth of work doesn't mean an hour every day. You know it might take six hours a day to make that video in five days. That's when you'll be thinking about it, not about...
[08:43] be thinking about it, not about... And here's a question: why does RPM differ between Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and America? For example, you know, in your country, there are no ads. Ads in Algeria are almost nonexistent. I mean, who would advertise
[08:56] in Algeria? I The budgets of companies in Algeria don't even allow them to advertise on YouTube. But in Saudi Arabia and America, they have lots of ads in all fields, not just
[09:12] cakes. And I don't know why, but their RPM is very high, while ours is
[09:25] line is that you need to be American to be successful. Anyway, the first thing is to open a channel, meet the requirements, and choose your content. Before all that, you choose
[09:37] the language of your content, which will be, for example, English or Algerian Arabic. In Gulf Arabic, it means you choose your language based on what you want. You can use French because many people in the region know how to speak it. You can create regular French content. If you're going to create content in English for
[09:51] practice, your RPM will depend on the or language is Saudi, it will be between $0.80 and $7. I've repeated this several
[10:06] times, and it depends on the content. Some people say that if you have subscribers, and none of them have any income, you could have 1000 subscribers and a million views. You'll earn a lot for a million views, so you should check your
[10:20] views. Didn't I tell you, my brothers, I'll show you how much I earn? I earn a lot of money behind your backs. I'll show you how much I earn. And here, my brothers, you can see... I'm getting paid a lot, guys. In the last 28 days, I only made 9 euros, or 8.44
[10:37] euros, you see? I wasn't even making any videos, so we'd say the profit is down, you know. But if we look at the last 365 days, you'll see the disaster, guys. I've been see the disaster, guys. I've been
[10:52] working on YouTube for almost five months, I swear, five months, I swear, myself now, I swear, I didn't even realize it, guys. But anyway, I promised you I'd show you, and I did. So,
[11:08] if you scroll down, you'll see the RPM, which I told you was at least 0.5, but in reality, you I told you was at least 0.5, but in reality, you see it's 0.03, guys. 365 days, these are the videos and the shorts. You can see in the shorts that I have 0. Okay,
[11:25] my brothers, this is what I explained to you. For every thousand views, I get zero. I swear, it's just crumbs. We're getting them here in Algeria. Anyway, my brothers, we've finished this video. What I say to you is, pray for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and I advise you to be kind to your parents and to seek forgiveness often.
[11:41] and I advise you to be kind to your parents and to seek forgiveness often. Peace be upon you. And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who Peace be upon you. And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say, " Peace." And those who spend the night prostrating and standing before their Lord, and
[12:00] Peace." And those who spend the night prostrating and standing before their Lord, and punishment of Hell, for its punishment is ever-present."
