Frequently Asked Questions
How much does YouTube pay per view?

What is RPM vs CPM?
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1000 views. RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is what creators actually earn after YouTube's cut (typically 55% for creators, 45% for YouTube).
When can I monetize my YouTube channel?
You need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the last 12 months to be eligible for YouTube Partner Program monetization.
What factors affect YouTube earnings?
Content type, audience location, seasonality, engagement, video length, and time of upload all impact CPM rates. Tech and finance content typically has higher CPM than other categories.
