YouTube AdSense Fundamentals
AdSense is primary income source (40-60% of revenue). Activate at 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours. CPM varies by niche and geography; optimize for high-paying countries and content types.
Membership & Super Chat Revenue
Memberships unlock at 1k subs; expect 5-15% conversion rate in LATAM. Super Chat income varies; top live streamers earn $500-$5,000 per stream. Combined, non-ad revenue adds 30-50% to total income.
