I have learnt from internet that YouTube pays $4000 to the video poster if the video is viewed for 1 M times. The math goes like this. Is this true?
I see what you are thinking. Upload a viral video and hit 1M views = $4000 Upload video 2 and hit 1M = $4000 Upload video 3 and hit 1M = $4000 How many viral videos can you make that you can assure can hit 1M? Now how many such videos you have to make to live a comfortable life
once you get 1 million hits you will start promoting other things and make money from that. few viral hits and you will be a celebrity
Nvidia is right and also people will still keep watching old vids so money add up like compound interest.
Depends on type of content as well. Finance and tech related content for example will generate more $/view, due to profitability of ads shown
@Raytheon : Does it also depend on where the video was hit, a hit in USA will generate more revenues than a hit in the other country/location ?
Yes, thereās more value for advertisers in countries where people are likely to click and buy something. The views from certain countries are cheaper.
That is not a good ROI. I bet soon all of these folks will NFT that content.
It is for GOOG ;)

Some sectors pay more than others. Say you do financial advice the CPC for those videos is often higher than what people in say the movie entertainment space would make for the same amount of views.
Some YouTuber in india I follow puts daily blog and he hits 2 million everyday you are saying he makes 8k dollars per day ?
No, it's different for every country.
Which YouTuber?
No every video is different, there are plenty of YouTubers who have broken down what theyāve made from their videos. Depends on number of views, likes, comments, how long the viewer actually watched the video, thereās a ton of analytics. One video might have less views but made more money than another video with more views because viewers were more engaged.
Depends on the topic as well.
I had multiple videos with over a million views. I didnāt get shit but this was back in 2015
It's not that simple. YouTube splits the ad revenue from the video with the creator, roughly 50/50. If you have long videos with a ton of ad breaks and people love them and keep watching, you'll make a lot of money yes. If you have 3 min videos and everyone bails after 30 sec and watches no ads, you'll get š„
It has already been mentioned, but it also depends on the demographic your videos cater tooā¦ some types of content pays a lot more per view, whether it be the topic or the viewer demographic just happens to spend more disposable income. Also, a lot of creators go for 10+ minute long videos because they are able to put multiple ads on videos over 10 minutes.
Itās 55-45 in favour of the creator btw. Abs itās a straight up split. So videos that can show more ads, videos in a space where ads are expensive (think finance channels) will make far more per view.
