Can Punjabi YouTube channels really earn that much?

Yes. Punjabi immigration content earns ₹300-800 CPM because views come from Canada, UK, and Australia where ad rates are 5-10x higher than India.

Can I make Punjabi videos with AI?

Yes. FluxNote supports Punjabi voiceover and Gurmukhi subtitles. AI-generated Punjabi content is ideal for informational channels.

Should I target India or the diaspora?

For maximum earnings, target the diaspora — Canada, UK, and Australia views pay dramatically more. You can create content that serves both audiences.

What Punjabi content works best?

Music and entertainment get the most views. Immigration and IELTS content earn the most per view. The optimal strategy is a mix of both.

How to Start a Punjabi YouTube Channel in 2026 (Complete Guide)

Punjabi is YouTube's music powerhouse — Punjabi music videos regularly cross 100 million views, and Punjabi is the most-watched Indian language globally after Hindi. With a massive diaspora in Canada (2.1M), UK (800K), and Australia, Punjabi creators benefit from Western CPMs that dwarf domestic Indian rates.

Step-by-Step Guide

Choose a Punjabi niche

Immigration and IELTS content earn the highest CPMs. Entertainment and music get the most views. Pick based on your goal.

Target the diaspora

If earning is your priority, create content that resonates with Punjabis in Canada, UK, and Australia. Time uploads for their time zones.

Create with AI

Use FluxNote for Punjabi voiceover and Gurmukhi subtitles. Produce professional content at scale.

Optimize for global Punjabi search

Use both Gurmukhi and romanized Punjabi in titles. Add location tags for Canada, UK, and Australia.

Monetize the diaspora premium

Western CPMs make Punjabi one of the most profitable Indian languages. Focus on immigration and education brand deals.

Why Punjabi YouTube earns more than you think

Punjabi content has the highest international earning potential of any Indian language:

- 125M+ Punjabi speakers across Indian Punjab, Pakistani Punjab, and the global diaspora
- Canada's 3rd language — 2.1 million Punjabi speakers in Canada
- UK Punjabi community — 800K+ speakers with high purchasing power
- Music dominance — Punjabi music is India's #1 exported language content
- Western CPMs — Diaspora views from Canada, UK, and Australia earn ₹200-800 CPM

The earning math is extraordinary. A Punjabi channel where 30-40% of views come from Canada, UK, and Australia can earn ₹200-500 blended CPM — 5-10x what Hindi channels earn.

Creating Punjabi videos with AI

AI makes Punjabi content creation accessible:

1. Enter your topic — Use FluxNote with your video concept
2. Script in Punjabi — AI generates engaging scripts
3. Punjabi voiceover — Natural-sounding Punjabi AI voice options
4. Gurmukhi subtitles — Auto-generated in Punjabi script with animated styles
5. Visual selection — Stock footage for your narrative
6. Export — Ready for YouTube

Punjabi content works especially well with AI for informational channels. Immigration guides, IELTS tips, farming advice, and financial content don't require a face on camera. With AI voiceover and professional subtitles, you can run a faceless Punjabi channel that earns Western CPMs.
