Why Country Matters So Much
Advertisers pay more to reach audiences in high-spending economies. A US viewer is worth 10x more than an Indian viewer because US advertisers pay premium rates to target American consumers with higher purchasing power.
Our Analysis
If you create English-language content targeting the US, UK, and Canada, you can expect 5-10x higher earnings per view compared to creators targeting South Asian or Southeast Asian markets. This is why language and targeting strategy matter as much as content quality.
