Video mentioned: How MUCH Money do South African YouTubers Make?
Our main homie here is getting asked all the time, how much you making on YouTube, my guy? and as a South African YouTuber, it’s a bit of a whole other game, right? Now, they’re not claiming to be like the big guns in the YouTube biz, but they ain’t no small fry either with a cool 14k subscribers! Yeah, you heard me, FOURTEEN THOUSAND homies hanging on their every word.
But hold onto your socks, fam, ’cause they’re about to drop some truth bombs on us. Ready for a sneak peek behind the YouTube curtain? Let’s break it down.
Now listen up, the amount you earn on YouTube isn’t just a magic number that appears out of nowhere, nah nah nah. You ain’t gonna make the same cash doing sneaker reviews as giving out financial advice. Trust me, if that was the case, I’d be rockin’ the freshest kicks while planning my early retirement.
Our dude here is more about that cinematic stuff, that high-quality camera gear, making the everyday into some visually stunning pieces of art. It’s like if Michael Bay and Ansel Adams had a digital baby.
Now, let’s talk the cold hard stats. Over the last 90 days, they racked up a smokin’ hot 375,000 views. That’s like if every person in New Orleans decided to watch one of their videos. But there’s a twist in this plot, fam. Two of these older videos are like the VIP guests at the party, racking up 170k views themselves but they ain’t dropping any coin into the collection jar because of some pesky copyright music.
That means in reality, we’re talking about 205k views that are bringing in the Benjamins, or rather, the…er…Mandelas (let’s keep it South African).
Let’s pull up the calculator app, shall we? So, in the last 90 days, they’ve made a grand total of 8,487 Rand from their monetized views. If you do the math (and I’m no mathematician, but I’ve got a calculator and determination), that’s around 41 Rand for every thousand views. Not too shabby!

Frequently asked questions:
How much do you earn per 1000 views on YouTube in South Africa?
Aight, so if you’re pulling views on YouTube in SA, the word is Google’s throwing around R270 for every 1k ad views. So you’re looking at pocketing between R45 to R75 for every 1k video plays. But real talk, the cash you make is all about who’s vibing with your content.
Who is the largest YouTuber in Africa?
Holding it down as the biggest YouTube sensation in Africa is Oum Walid. That’s “Walid’s mum” for the non-Algerian peeps. With a solid 11.6 million peeps following, this channel is all about dishing out those culinary gems and kitchen hacks. And guess what? They’re banking around $217,700 every month.
