Hi, the question is can and should I lie about where I live to earn more from yt ads?
what are the pros and cons of this?
 
I don't think your country of origin is any factor in your earnings. Prove me wrong though.

Do not need to lie. Even if you are not from that country , you can make content appealing to that country people.

I read somewhere that earnings are higher where life is more expensive so if that's the case lying about my location would change earnings.
I am asking have someone done it? are they checking it? Does it help to target the people in that country?
 
I doubt it, there is a youtube channel I know that the girl who runs it is a solid programmer, and she sometimes talks Indian or hindu or something. But most of her content is english, and she is defiantly banking as she has subs and comments from students worldwide.
 
The money you get from YouTube depends on the country of your viewers. You can live in Timbuktu and make a bank if your audience is from 1st World Countries.
 
You can not fool You Tube about the country of your origin. It detects the location based on your activity. Even VPNs cant help.

Not true, you can change the location of your account without any issues in profile settings.
 
I'd instead focus efforts on marketing your content to Tier 1 countries

Even if you set your country as US or any other country, it doesn't matter. It is only for your audience. You Tube knows where are you actually from.

mos people dont' care as long content is good and intersting
proof every media is doing this.

The physical location of you does not matter in the YouTube game at all. It's all about your content, so I don't understand where your argument is going.

Of course physical location matters. Your content is served more to the audience near or around your location. Of course you get views from all over the world, but the majority of the audience will come from your region only.
 
You can modify the country in your profile so that YouTube can authenticate the target audience you are aiming for. However, when making payments through Google AdSense account, if your country is not available, you will need support from someone.

You mean change the country of the channel? it will makes no difference. Yt ads earnings depends on your viewers, if you can get a lot on tier one then you will earn more but if tier 3, you will need more views.
