Instagram vs YouTube, where do you earn more?

In today's digital age, social media is not just a medium of entertainment, but it has become a big career option. Millions of people are earning well by creating content on platforms like Instagram and YouTube. But the question is, which platform earns more, Instagram or YouTube?

YouTube earnings

YouTube is the world's largest video sharing platform where content creators earn directly from advertisements through Google's AdSense. This means that if your video gets more views, then you get good revenue from advertisements.

  • Ad Revenue (CPM/Views)
  • Channel Memberships
  • Super Chat and Super Stickers (on Live Streaming)
  • Sponsorships and Brand Deals

The big advantage of YouTube is that if your video is Evergreen, it will keep getting views for years and you will keep earning continuously.

Instagram is a hotspot for brand deals

Instagram is primarily a platform based on photos and short videos (Reels). Direct advertising here does not earn as much as YouTube does. However, money is earned on Instagram through brand promotion and sponsorship. Especially creators related to Fashion, Beauty, Fitness and Lifestyle get good deals.

  • Instagram earning sources
  • Brand Collaborations & Sponsorships
  • Affiliate Marketing
  • Instagram Subscriptions (in some countries)
  • Product Promotions/Influencer Marketing

Companies offer huge amounts of money if you have more followers and engagement on Instagram.
