Where Are the Biggest Earnings from Blogging: YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok?

[00:01] post videos, and sooner or later you start thinking about how to turn your hobby into a full-time job with a good income. So, you ask yourself a very important question: where do they really pay more: YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok?

[00:15] make money from YouTube monetization in Russia. Others say that ISAs provide large amounts of money, but only through sales of personal products and services. Third. They don't understand at all how TikTok makes money. This is an app for kids. In

[00:29] this video I will lay everything out factually. Where is the highest revenue per view, where are the highest authors in 2026, and most importantly, you will understand the principles of making money from content. It doesn't matter what platform you do it on, what matters is how you

[00:43] do it. And now we will analyze everything in order. My name is Boris. I've been creating content for over 19 years and have amassed a total audience of over 7 million. We've created hundreds of million-viewer videos for our clients across various platforms.

[00:56] It still remains the only major platform where creators and producers receive money directly from views. Because the main goal of the site is to long as possible. The most reliable and

[01:10] classic way to make money on YouTube is to monetize long videos. Income here depends heavily on the niche you film in and where your viewers CIS countries, such as Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, or Uzbekistan, your income

[01:24] will be significantly less than from countries such as the USA, France, Britain, Australia, and so on. Why is that? Advertising in these countries that YouTube shows is much more expensive. And the percentage that the author receives from this advertising is

[01:37] correspondingly higher. For example, income in America will be from 5 to 25 dollars per 1,000 views. This price range varies greatly depending on the niche you children's computer games will be paid for much less than,

[01:52] for example, real estate niches, because children who play computer games clearly have less money than entrepreneurs interested in content that can be monetized is short video shorts. Of course,

[02:06] long-format films are paid tens of times more than Short films, but that doesn't . The fact is that short videos gain more reach in a short tens, even hundreds of millions of views. And on average, for 1,000

[02:21] views here you get from 5 to 30 cents. And 1,000 views on SHOS is far from the same as 1,000 views on long videos. On average, the equivalent of 1,000 views in Shorts is equal to ptitsya views on a long video of

[02:35] 10-15 minutes. But as with horizontal videos, revenue varies greatly depending on the niche and the countries from which viewers watch your videos. Thus , for example, cuts with Mr. Beast bring in on average from 40 to 200

[02:47] YouTube also offers sponsored content— paid subscriptions to your channel, ranging from $1 to $50 per subscription, and regular donations, which you can receive as a super thank you or by purchasing animated super stickers. Honestly, I wouldn't

[03:02] consider sponsored content a viable way to make money here, as it works well on channels with a large, active audience. And some features are EU countries. You might say: "Okay, but what about views from Russia?" And I'll

[03:16] tell you that views from Russia are now monetized, even though monetization. Why does this happen? Because most users now watch YouTube using services to bypass blocking due to

[03:30] traffic slowdowns. The irony is that because users watch YouTube through services to bypass blocking, YouTube determines their location country. And it really turns out to be funny that views from Russia are

[03:46] often monetized as American or European or as views from is the most popular way to make money from content, specifically views, including among the Russian-speaking community. It's

[03:58] possible to earn thousands of dollars and even tens of thousands of labor-intensive and competitive platform, where content quality is valued much higher than on other platforms. Yes, you can earn a lot here

[04:11] do this on other platforms. Instagram has long ceased to be just a platform for beautiful photos. And today it is one of the most flexible platforms for monetization. However, as is the case with YouTube, there are nuances. Not all methods

[04:26] work in all countries, and income depends on more than just reach. you can make money on Instagram, who has access to these tools, and how much you can earn on average. But first I want to invite you to the content. This is our

[04:40] quite recently. Entry is open to entrepreneurs, experts and creators. All my experience and knowledge that I have gained over these many years, you can get simply by deciding to join the club. Inside, I host live discussions

[04:53] where I provide participants with a step-by-step plan for solving their problems, broadcasts from market leaders, guides, and the coolest communities of entrepreneurs and creators. Go to the content using this QR code or the link in the description. And we move

[05:05] on. Instagram doesn't have direct content monetization like YouTube. More precisely, it exists, but it only works in the United States and not on all accounts. Ultimately, the most profitable way to earn money within Instagram itself is through paid

[05:17] subscriptions. You set the price yourself. Most often it is from $1 to $9 per month. While sponsored content on YouTube is a supplement to monetization, on Instagram it can truly be a powerful

[05:30] tool, as building an audience on Instagram via rails is easier and YouTube. But how much can you earn from this ? Look, with just 100 active subscribers and an average bill of 5 bucks, that's 500 dollars a month. Major

[05:43] bloggers easily make between 3,000 and 10,000 dollars a month just from these paid subscriptions. But there are important limitations. This feature is available in the US, again, and in a number of supported countries that you can see on the screen now. The

[05:56] second way after paid subscriptions is gifts. Gifts that viewers give you, and you thereby earn money. For example, with a million views on rails you can earn from 50 to 200 dollars, but again, this feature is

[06:09] not available everywhere. Your account must have 500 subscribers and way to monetize is with badges in live broadcasts. It's basically like YouTube's Super Stickers , where viewers pay money and send it to you for your stream

[06:24] here is from one to five dollars per viewer per broadcast. Active streamers earn between $50 and $300 per broadcast. Again, the feature is not available in all countries, mainly the EU and the US. Of course, as with YouTube, you can

[06:38] you take into account the sale of advertising and products. But in this video, we'll be looking at earning money using the platform's initial tools and capabilities. In general, you can also consistently earn over $1,000 on Instagram, even from subscriptions alone.

[06:51] And, most likely, it will be even a little faster than on YouTube. But it all depends on your location. Ultimately, Instagram is truly the most profitable just

[07:06] selling your own products or services, or creating content that drives traffic to referral programs, affiliate links, and so on. OK. Now we move on to the most anomalous area:

[07:20] earning money on TikTok. Let's start with the fact that TikTok has built-in monetization for views. Unlike Insta, it is only available in a few countries. If my memory serves me correctly, there are six of them. Now you can see them on the screen. And yes, the

[07:32] CIS countries are not on this list. On average, TikTok pays between 2 and 6 cents for every 1,000 views. In certain niches, this figure can reach up to 10 or 15 on the country and the audience that watches you. Thus, a video with a million

[07:47] to 100 bucks. And to earn the same $1,000 in pure monetization here, you need to get at least 10 million views monthly. How often do your videos get millions of views on TikTok, and are you committed to doing so

[08:01] every month? Write in the comments. That's why most bloggers who boast about passive income on TikTok actually earn money not from views, but from live broadcasts. Yes, TikTok is a second powerful

[08:14] tool that can be used to make money. To stream, you only need 1,000 subscribers. And that's all. You can go on air almost immediately and start earning money from the first day. As on other platforms, the main income

[08:26] here is from donations in the form of gifts. But here viewers are more willing to give gifts than on other platforms. I don't know why, but there is this particular feature in TikTok that I noticed. I know of cases where a girl from China

[08:40] received more than $1 million in donations in a single broadcast . And I know a lot of TikTok streamers from the CIS countries who make $30,000 to $50,000 a month thanks to

[08:52] live streaming and interaction with their audience. It turns out that smart streamers use videos not for monetization, but to increase the number of people who will come to their broadcasts and send them gifts. Because, as you already

[09:05] understood, the earnings from one broadcast are much higher than the earnings from 1 million views. An average experienced streamer can earn between $500 and $1,000 per broadcast . And the bottom line is that it's actually possible to earn

[09:18] thousands, even tens of thousands, of dollars on TikTok. But the question of stability here remains open, because streaming is a specific, real job, just like in an office. You need to be on these broadcasts all the time. This job is very much linked to

[09:31] burnout. You constantly need to perform something on camera in order to conduct these live broadcasts. And I'll be honest, speaking from my own experience, I've done live streams on TikTok. I had some absolutely crazy titanic coverage,

[09:45] because I really came up with a really cool creative idea. And I, I’ll attach it directly creative idea. And I, I’ll attach it directly here, I had a broadcast, which in here, I had a broadcast, which in total over 4 hours had more than

[09:57] 500,000 people. And I even think I have a screenshot saved where I had a million people on air in 4 hours. Well, this is really crazy. TikTok live streams are really cool, but to really do it long-term, you need to

[10:10] personality and mindset to make it work , have fun, and not burn out, because you'll literally have to put on a show every day, your own theater. That's how it is. Let's summarize. You can earn from $1,000

[10:23] on absolutely all platforms. It's only a question of speed, your capabilities and long videos and target in -demand niches, YouTube can bring you the most money from views, especially if you can

[10:37] YouTube. But be prepared for a lot of competition, a lot of work to create content, and time to grow here. And be prepared for instability, , you don't have money, because you

[10:50] Ultimately, YouTube pays the most for views, but it also requires the corresponding prefer working with short content, you can try Instagram. You YouTube, but there are many restrictions that can affect your income. Well,

[11:07] if you're still a fan of short content and maybe even streaming, you might want to try taming TikTok. This is the easiest and fastest way to start, but at the same time it is very unpredictable and also requires a lot of

[11:20] effort. Having achieved results on one platform, your next step is to simultaneously. The working model used by top bloggers is YouTube for long-form videos and a stable income, Instagram for audience monetization, and

[11:34] TikTok for quickly gaining new subscribers and driving that audience to other platforms. Thus, in total this gives 10 times more than any individual site. Ultimately, no matter what platform you want to develop, be it

[11:47] platform you want to develop, be it TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, I'm confident that do it. But if you want to do it 10 times faster, then welcome to our content. There is already a knowledge base there, and my live broadcasts are there. You join the
