I can confirm that this is accurate.
There are a few tiers and it varies seasonally. I run a YouTube channel with ~80k subscribers at the moment and I get about $3CPM (price per thousand). I actually make closer to $5 and even $6 around the holidays as ad prices go up.
But if you are just starting out on YouTube, you are given lower paying ads. You'll see yourself getting CPMs in the $1-$1.50 range. After hitting 50k subscribers it jumps up dramatically. The really premium ads are reserved for whitelisted accounts that belong to certain approved video networks and can earn $5-$8 CPM. These are generally channels with 1M or more subscribers.
- user5994461 7y agoGreat to know. Thank you for sharing. Would you know how adblocking factors into these revenues? It can be 50% on traditional web content depending on the demographic, but this gotta be dramatically lower on youtube. For these videos, the article says the primary audience is women aged 18-24, probably in the US. Adblocking must be rescinding toward zero given the raise of smartphones and google Chrome, that can't block ads.
- QualityReboot 7y agoJust out of curiosity, when I block ads, does that decrease your CPM? I'm doing it either way, I'm wondering how they count adblock views.
- 666lumberjack 7y agoNot the person you responded to, but according to (my memory of) this[0] video youtube only counts views where an ad plays (excluding adblock users and some views from people in demographics that have low advertiser demand) and it is not immediately skipped, where the option is there.
