How much money does YouTube pay for 1000 views?
to make things simple, let's understand firstly how youtube calculate your monthly revenue, or how it calculates how much you earn per view on a certain video.
The idea is simple, you earn for each Ad (Impression or Click) and not on video views.
so if you have 1M views on YouTube, but no Ads are present on the video, you simply earn nothing!
of course, we are talking here about earning from Ads (Google Adsense) and not other methods that I will mention later in this post.
So now we know that you get paid on Ad view or clicks, but how much you earn per Ad view or click?
I will show you now two dashboards of two YouTube Channels, Take a look:
Channel 1:
Channel 2:
Take a look at the RPM and the CPM! 😲
the first channel generates more than 12X revenue compared to the second, why!?
Note:
CPM: How much advertisers paid per thousand monetized playbacks.
RPM: How much you earned per thousand monetized playbacks.
There are three factors that determine your CPM (Cost per 1000 Views) or revenue on YouTube:
How Much Views you are getting, and to be more accurate, how many times ads are shown on your videos and how many times are clicked.
Your Target Audience: The CPM in Top English Countries is almost 10x of that of other countries. as an example, I have two channels: one has CPM around 22$, and the other one about 1–5$.
Ads and Targeted Keywords: Not all ads have the same price. you can use tools like h-supertools to determine the CPC of keywords and optimize your videos on to increase your CPM.
For example, Ads related to Digital Marketing and Online Business has a Higher CPM than others.
Let’s see this:
If you go now to H-supertools free keyword research tool and search for this keyword: "learning cooking", you will see the following results:
The CPC (cost per click is 1.35$)
While if you search for "Email Marketing companies", you will see the following:
The CPC (cost per click is 18.55$) which is much more than the first keyword.
so the content you are creating videos about is very important and it determines what type of Ads will be shown on your videos.
So there is no direct answer to this, you need to identify these factors, then you can answer.
If you like to see this in action, you can check my video here and see how practically increase my CPM:
You can check and analyze the type of content, length, tags, description, title, and so on.
going back to my channel, you can see in the dashboard that I do make around 10$ per 1000 Views.
so with a simple calculation, it's around 1000$ per 100K views on my channel.
and here is my dashboard:
~1400$ for 160K views, so our calculations are correct!
Hope this helps you increase your Ad revenue from Your Channels.
