Many people know the fact that YouTube pays YouTubers, but how much exactly?

How Much Do YouTubers Earn from Ads?

According to Google policies, 68% of google’s AdSense revenue goes to the publishers. 

Although you will have the option of adding an AdSense account at the beginning when you create an account, you will start receiving payment only after you make the first 100$.

Ads are a significant source of income for a YouTuber. But, it is not so easy to make money from these ads. There are two types of ads, CPM (Cost Per Impression) and CPC (Cost Per Click).

For you to earn money from a CPM, the viewers need to watch an ad for at least 30 seconds. And, for CPC, you won’t make any buck until the viewer clicks the ad.

On an average for CPC ads, YouTube pays $18 for every 1,000 ad clicks. Whereas for a CPM, the earnings average about $2-5 for every 1,000 views. Keep in mind that these metrics of the ads are not constant. Various factors like demographics, contents, and timing, play a crucial role in determining your earnings from YouTube ads.

Factors that determine YouTube earnings

Since YouTube’s monetization policy has become stricter, many aspects are taken under consideration before YouTube pays the YouTubers.

Here’s a list of things taken into account:

Type of viewers 

A viewer’s age, gender, and geographic location are essential factors. For example, views from the USA pay more.

Type of content

The kind of content uploaded in your channel also determines your income.

Upload consistency

Whether you upload your content frequently or not, you must know your upload consistency also affects your earning.

Subscribers/Viewers ratio

YouTube also checks your subscribers’ and viewers’ ratio. For instance, if the number of views is higher than the number of subscribers, you may not be well paid.

A number of views on mobile Vs. PC

Ads, while you use the internet from your mobile, are different from those you see on a computer. It directly affects your earning from YouTube.

Ad Skipping

You have kept a lot of ads and are not still earning as you want to, that’s because your viewers skip the ad. Ad skipping also affects the YouTubers’ revenue.

Quality of Ads

The ads that you put on your YouTube channel also need to have a certain standard as the quality of ads influence your earnings.

Keywords

The keywords used by YouTubers also target different advertisers resulting in different payouts.

Length of the video

The length of the video determines whether a viewer sees multiple ads. It increases the number of ad views per user, adding the YouTubers’ pay rate.

Adblockers

If your viewers use different ad-blockers, you are less likely to get paid as the views of ads come down.

Other Ways to Make Money from YouTube

Endorsements and Sponsorships 

Another way to earn from YouTube is through endorsements and sponsorship. As you begin to gain popularity through your YouTube channel, you can start endorsing products. They can be any product relating to your videos.

Affiliate Marketing
