JAKARTA - YouTube is still a promising platform for additional income. As a result, many people try their luck to become content creators on YouTube.

Not a few Indonesian content creators have skyrocketed and have millions of subscribers. This large number of subscribers also makes YouTubers get a fortune from each uploaded video content.

You name it, Fiki Naki, who recently gained a lot of subscribers from his video content, chatting with foreigners. The number of viewers has increased dramatically, starting from November 2020 and now has 3.79 million subscribers.

Referring to Social Blade, Fiki Naki's estimated income reaches US $ 751 to US $ 1,200 per month. This means that the man with the full name M Fiqih Ayatullah can pocket Rp10-12 million per month from YouTube content.

Not surprisingly, many people are competing to become YouTubers today. Even making YouTubers a profitable profession.

So how can YouTubers receive payments, which are worth tens of millions of rupiah, every month? Quoting from the Influencer Marketing Hub page, a YouTuber or content creator must first get as many subscribers as possible.

Simply put, more subscribers will attract more viewers (views) on video content on YouTube. Thus, more and more AdSense ads are coming in.

Beginner YouTubers will generally earn around 0.01 US dollars to 0.03 US dollars based on inserted AdSense ads. Given that advertising is the most income for most YouTubers.

On average, a beginner YouTuber whose video content is widely watched can receive 18 US dollars (Rp.245 thousand) per 1,000 video views. However, the amount of a YouTuber salary does not only depend on the number of viewers or ad serving.

Giving AdSense can also be based on the country, video topic, and the price of the inserted ad. YouTube itself has poured more than US $ 30 billion or around Rp.422.9 trillion in the last three years to pay YouTubers.

The calculation of the YouTuber's salary is usually done by means of Cost per Mille or CPM (cost per thousand views), then other income comes from cost per click or income that only comes in when a viewer clicks on the ad that appears.

On YouTube alone, there are millions of new videos every week. Recently uploaded videos and old videos compete with each other for viewers.

That's why, a professional YouTuber usually targets to upload at least two to three content per week, even one video per day.

So far, there are five YouTubers with the highest income in Indonesia. They are Deddy Corbuzier, Ria Ricis, Baim Wong, Raffi Ahmad, and Atta Halilintar.

Deddy Corbuzier is the YoTuber with the largest income in Indonesia in the last month (September 2020). Deddy Corbuzier is estimated to earn an income of 34 thousand-543.3 thousand US dollars (around Rp.459 million-7 billion) in a month.
