A Challenge to YouTube? China’s Bilibili Goes International; Earn ₹66 per 1,000 Views!
If you earn money by creating videos, China’s video platform Bilibili could be a new option for you. The platform is currently trying to strengthen its foothold outside China, and there is growing buzz regarding creator earnings. According to a tweet, some of Bilibili’s creator programs offer a payout of around $0.70—approximately ₹66 at current exchange rates—per 1,000 views. However, Bilibili has not officially announced this figure as a fixed rate for all creators.
According to a post by RT on X, Bilibili will pay global creators $0.70 for every 1,000 views. If this figure holds true, 1 million views could generate earnings of around $700, or approximately ₹66,000. However, this cannot be considered a guaranteed income. Earnings on Bilibili depend on several factors, including viewer location, ad demand, content category, and the monetization method. Payouts may also vary due to factors such as invalid traffic, refunds, taxes, and other regulations.
Earnings Can Start with 100 Subscribers
Current information indicates that to join Bilibili’s creator program, a creator needs at least 100 subscribers and 2,000 valid public views. Even then, monetization approval is not automatic; adherence to content originality, copyright rules, and community guidelines is mandatory. Activities such as fake subscribers, purchased views, and artificial engagement are prohibited.
Why Is It Challenging YouTube?
Bilibili’s major move goes beyond just discussions about earnings. The company has recently launched its international app globally. Currently, the new international app is available on Android, while the iOS version is expected to be released later. Bilibili’s official Creator Hub has also confirmed the launch of the international app.
When will it arrive in India?
Currently, the situation regarding the availability of Bilibili’s new international app in India is not entirely clear, and no confirmed date for an official launch has been announced. Therefore, it would be premature to call it a direct alternative to YouTube at this stage.
