It's crazy how many people are earning a good living off YouTube. Not a lot in absolute numbers, but when you compare it to the number of TV show hosts on cable/broadcast TV it's quite impressive.
The dream of independent niche content producers finding an audience and making good money is actually happening.
- thadeus_venture 15y agoSo you are estimating 100% click through rate on those pre video commercials? They are not even shown every time.
- mlinsey 15y agostaunch's estimates were using CPM, not CPC, so click throughs are irrelevant (CPM - cost per 1,000 impressions displayed). That said, $2-3 CPM sounds high to me. But I don't know anything about the YouTube ad market.
- ryanjmo 15y agoI know about the YouTube ad market and $2-$3 is reasonable, especially for gamers who get higher CPM thanks to very targeted advertising.
- thadeus_venture 15y agoAh yea, missed the CPM part there. That's a ridiculous amount of money then. Husky and HD have 10+ videos a week with 150-200K views.
