Marko Zlatic is a popular Youtuber and investor. He is the owner of the Whiteboard Finance Youtube channel.
Marko’s Youtube Channel has 600k subscribers and according to Social Blade, it grows with about 70k subscribers every month.
We’ll split his income up in 5 primary sources of income:
- Youtube

- Investments
- Sponsorships
Youtube Ad Revenue
According to Social Blade, Marko has around 2.5M average video views per month and generates anywhere from $500 – $10k from this.
These numbers would suggest Marko Zlatic has an RPM (Revenue Per 1000 views) of around $0,20 – $4.
However, we know social blade uses automated software that can be wildly inaccurate especially since the software doesn’t take Youtube niches into account.
As we know Marko has a personal finance Youtube channel for which advertisers are willing to pay a pretty hefty amount.
In an August 2019 video, Marko Zlatic revealed just how much he made from a 5 million view video.
The total amount was $41,845. This would put his RPM to be around the $8 range.
This is smaller than what we’ve seen from other finance Youtubers such as Andrei Jikh and Nate O’Brien who seem to be in the $10-$15 RPM range but they also have more subscribers.
Nevertheless, an $8 RPM is still double of what Social Blade seems to estimate for the Whiteboard Finance YouTuber.
Since we know he reaches 2.5 million views per month, that would estimate his monthly earnings from Youtube Ad Revenue at
Since we know he reaches 2.5 million views per month, we can calculate his monthly earnings from Youtube Ad Revenue.

Since Whiteboard Finance has over 600K subscribers and gets 2.5m monthly views, he likely makes a pretty substantial amount from these 3 affiliate programs alone.
