YouTube and TikTok, how many views do you need to live?

The answer is millions, whether you try to climb on a “traditional” platform like YouTube, or you spend on an undoubtedly established but younger like TikTok. The SEO experts of rebootonline.com they calculated how many views are needed on the two services to equalize the average salary of 40 European countries including Italy. And this time it is a plus that we earn less than the countries we historically compare ourselves with, because fewer views are needed to reach the average salary we are satisfied with.

In this curious ranking Italy indeed is in seventeenth placerespectively behind – needless to say – Germany, England, France and Spain which are stationed in 10th, 11th, 14th and 15th places. And if the gap in terms of positions may also seem small, especially with the cousins ​​from beyond the Alps and the Iberians, it is not in terms of wage differences and consequently also of view. With an annual net of 20,880 euros, i.e. 1,740 euros for 12 months, an average Italian should reach 6 million views on YouTube or 67 million on TikTok to quit your job and get behind a camera full time without changing your lifestyle.

Taking YouTube as a reference where you will soon be able to earn even with Shorts, vertical videos at TikTok do 500 thousand views per monthundoubtedly many but several less than their German cousins, who need 750 thousand (9 million a year) to equalize the average income of 2,647 euros net per month. For the mission impossible you have to look up to the top and cross the box of the Swisswhere trying a career on YouTube or TikTok doesn’t seem to be a good alternative to a “traditional” job.

There are better ways to achieve the beyond 67 thousand and 800 euros net that a Swiss earns on average in a year: over 218 million views on TikTok and almost 20 million on YouTube would be needed. At the antipodes, on the other hand, Turkeywhere you earn in an infinitely easier way i 3,600 euros net per year (threshold that a Luxemburger reaches in one month, an Italian in two): “just” 1 million views on YouTube or almost 12 million on TikTok are enough.
