How much does YouTube pay?
YouTube pays creators based on the number of ad views their videos generate. This is often measured in RPM (Revenue Per Mille), which is the amount you earn per 1,000 views.
Factors Affecting RPM
- Niche: Finance and Tech channels often have higher RPM ($5 - $20) compared to Comedy or Vlogs ($0.5 - $2).
- Geography: Views from countries like USA, UK, and Canada pay significantly more than views from India or Brazil.
- Audience Age: Advertisers pay more to target adults with purchasing power.

Earnings = (Views / 1000) × RPM
