I think the reason, the primary reason, that for gaming and tech stuff that the CPM is so low by comparison to lifestyle people is because of a couple factors, but the main of which likely being that Adblock is MUCH more prevalent among gaming and tech people than people who watch daily vlogs and etc.
As the other guy pointed out, tech people watch reviews of tech stuff, so we (yeah, I am on of them) are less likely to click on an ad. The lifestyle people are more likely to click, because they are watching someone have the "perfect" life or sth (I don't watch them, so I might be wrong, but just my 2 cents), and so when a "perfect" life guy promotes something, they will most likely click the ad or even buy it to feel more like the guy they are watching. It is like those 'get rich scams', people buy those books, because they want to be like that.
As side note- enabling mid-rolls will annoy viewers, but massively increase CPM. Advertisers prefer captive viewers. Enabling midrolls tripled my CPM/PPM.

Finally a clear and precise video which describes exactly what CPM is and how to figure it out. I have been making automotive repair videos for years and never fully understood it until today. Thank you Jimmy!
It's hard to tell. For example, due to the nature of my videos, some get the yellow dollar sign (not suitable for ads, but you still get revenue from RUclips premium). As you said, some videos get more CPM than others and it's impossible to tell exactly how much a RUclips makes. Maybe I will make a video of how much I earn/month :)
(Baz) This is the most in depth, thought through and well presented video about the subject of YT earnings. In fact when trolls start giving me crap about the $$$ rolling in, I'm going to give them a link to this video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Hi Jimmy, thanks for sharing the information with me. I enjoyed the details and indepth of all the information you share :) with all the ads... most likely your video is performing well :)
This was great, and helpful. I don't have a channel, but was always curious about how the process worked. Hope you continue to be successful and have fun along the way!
Wow. Just got 1,000 subscribers on my channel so naturally I jump right into searching for info on what to do next! You've got great content, great pace and I'm (a little bit) smarter than before I clicked. Thanks!
AS a CPA, I appreciate the way you explained deductible business expenses. That seems to be the number 1 thing that my clients struggle with understanding.
Guys this is long okay. The reason I didn’t split this up into paragraphs is so that you can highlight everything and use your device to dictate it! Sorry but I think that this is worth a quick listen!! 😀👍 Gillian Perkins (a person who Jimmy mentioned,) says that she doesn’t want to put mid-roll ads in her videos because she says that she doesn’t want to sacrifice her regular viewers for monetised viewers, if that makes sense. What she means is that she thinks that if there are mid-roll ads (which you can choose to or choose not to have if your video is over ten minutes long, I think,) she thinks people are more likely to click off her video (she says that she sometimes does this herself) and watch ‘one of those shiny videos on the sidebar.’ She doesn’t want people to click off her videos, because: A) The longer people watch her videos after a click, the more likely RUclips is to recommend it to others. B) She wants her videos to reach the widest possible audience, to help people who watch them. (Which is nice) She has all other ads turned on, but has said that her CPM could *double* if she turned on mid-roll ads. I don’t think that I would do this personally but even so I can still see why she does this.
I buy merch from channels I like. not gonna disable my adblocker for anyone. spending $20 on a t shirt helps the content creators way more than my youtube views ever could. if they don't do merch or I'm not interested in their merch I'll follow them on patreon, floatplane, full30, whatever. if they do livestreams I'll do direct donations there. I don't watch ads and I will never watch ads.
You have a great personal communications style. Even when you're presenting challenging information, you do so without being intimidating or pretentious. Thanks and very good luck to you Jimmy Tries World!
I mean tbh no one should expect a video that took maybe a couple hours to make with little to no editing of someone siting on their ass with their friends playing a popular game to make money. Of course their gonna take the ad revenue. Because without their game, they wouldn't make videos in the first place nor would majority of their viewers watch in first place. Its like reaction channels. You're taking someone else's work and using it to attract ppl to watch you. Ppl will watch at first for the show or anime or movie that your watching but if you arent interesting or entertaining forget it they won't stick around. Any popular reaction channel eventually starts selling either merchandise with their logo or image or has a sponsorhsip or patreon because their content while entertaining to some does not sell anything. The primary way to make money on RUclips is to sell something. This guy reviews tech/gadgets, makes finance vids, things that help to sell either a product or an idea like how much can I expect to make if i create a channel?? Which can possible convince someone start one up as well.
@@Lrodpotato I am not gonna argue that gaming channels have a lower skill tree to make content,but I have to disagree with the argument its on the same level as reaction and that because they are using popular games they dont deserve to be properly monetized.Most reaction channels literally do below bare minimum as they are passive they just blink.Whereas gaming channels do offer something such as broad appeal as many popular channels play games that inform customers on what they can expect experience fromt eh game to see if they may wish to purchase said game(like the LOU2 sitation),Many game companies feature prominanat gaming creators in their marketing as said creators have more broader reach(twitch streams like NINJA,TIFU and DR DISREPECT),We also cannot disregard equipment cost for the viewer as some people may not have the funds to purchase expensive gaming rigs and watching someone play that game may be as close as they may get ,walkthoughs are also a genre that help players who are stuck troubleshoot their way out of a frustrating situation(silent hill,hello neighbour etc).I am not saying/arguing that gaming channels dont have it easier time starting and making content what I am saying is if it gets views and the viewer got value from the content as companies would not spending millions of dollars on exclusive contracts,esports tournaments,gamer sponsorships etc if their was not money to be made from gaming content creators. its simple if the consumer gets value from gaming channels their should be proper monetary compensation,as many companies are in an arms race for gaming content(twich and know youtube gaming), as it is easy for anyone to 8 year old to just hit record,but to get a following/make it a career one needs to be better than just a"record me yelling and shooting"gaming channel. I have no dog in this fight,but their is alot of nuance that is often missed when people see quick views.
@@koketsok1513 Dont worry. I think you misunderstood me. I merely meant its similar in terms that theyre using someone else's material as the baseline of their content. Nothing else. Altho I personally never watched a gaming channel for a game that I hadn't already purchased myself. However I have watched Gaming Channel's other content for *them* specifically not because I had any desire or interest to purchase the game they were playing. I simply found them entertaining. But thats just me. And I think our definitions of gaming channel differs. To me a gaming channel is a channel that plays games primarily to market themselves. Like H20 Delirious or Vanoss. Not game reviews or 100% completion game channels or channels that give info in game content you might've missed, etc. I consider those types of channels to be more specific in terms of their content which takes alot more work.
@@Lrodpotato Ok,I understand where you coming from.The problem is the baseline,every content needs a baseline of familiarity in order to be easily recognized eg makeup channels have cosmetics and anime review channels have well anime movies/episodes car channels have cars,parts etc.I can understand the frustration of reaction channels as they had no transformative value and provided us no additional information.Gaming channels may be passive ,but unlike reaction channels the experience does differ even when many gameing channels play similar games and the person says nothing the viewer can get a good idea if the game is for them/if they want to keep watching and no one looses as if that person does not buy the game its not like the company lost any money(unlike reaction channels were using other peoples content actually subtracts value from its creator).And aside from reviews,just playing a game is enough.As I said earlier companies want gaming content as it provides additonal publicity ,that is why many studios have implemented the "photo mode" feature it enable gamers to take pics of in game events and in tern provides developers with "free"(I say free but in all honesty you are paying to show their work).Yes the basline to enter gaming is easy,but to grow and maintaining a gaming channel is hard,trends come and trends go, it becomes easy to see who is here to play(insert new game)and have their 2 months of fame and those who offer something,that is why I said if their is a viewrship that means people see value,companies see value and possible sponships see value ,as the game is the baseline but to give it value the creator needs to be better than just a record monkey and when they are,and when they have built something they have every right to fare compensation,as in a industry where anyone can do it not everyone can maintain a following and to those who can, give them their rewards just like any other creator.
Man.... Thanks for this stats. I am a data guy and I appreciate these. Just taking my YT channel seriously recently without expecting anything, but your video popped up after my vids improved a bit.
Ive never bought anything i saw in an ad, in fact ive bought different brands of basic goods if i remembered them interrupting my life with a stupid ad.
Certain videos do well because they have retained ads. Companies seek these videos out and compete :) I think that's why your finance video did so well! Good job bro!
It also deals with the types of advertisers, the competition resulting from industry changes (usually advertisement focuses) and the total value of the product being sold or the ROI (return on investment) resulting from potential and residual (bad term sometimes) purchasers. If you're trying to sell a rocket ship, and can do so with ease, you'd more than likely have a huge amount of revenue, but if you're selling something like a video game, and only get < 1,000 viewers a CPM with $90.00 wouldn't really make sense unless you're doing simulator videos with simulator rigs worth $900,000 per product ... but then again you have to make people enjoy the channel and continue watching enough to be interested in finishing the advertisements. BTW brightcove was a competitor against youtube.com meaning that youtube is still trying to hold on to their platform focus in hopes that people will use online video viewing the correct way at some point ... the servers kinda need the help considering no one knows how much gigawatts are needed to compute a proper video competition metrics.
Another thing that wasnt pointed out but is really really important is the watch time. If you get a lot of views but they only watch for 2-3 minutes on a 5-10 minute video it will hurt your revenue per 1000 quite a bit because 1) they will most likely only watch 1 off the ads in the video, 2) It tells the RUclips Algorithm that you don't have an interesting or engaging channel, more so just click bait titles. About the 11 minutes in we can see that MattCS has 3 million views and 215k watch hours but still isnt making much money compared to others. The women that comes after him as about have the views(1.6million) but has 133k watch hours... not to mention gaming content in itself makes less money on ads and more money on sponsors, and are more likely to have viewers that use ad block.
One of the long term questions I have had about RUclips compensation. I have considered putting out videos myself and wondered if it was worth the trouble. Then I see videos put out by some of my favorite channels and they seem to do very well indeed. Thanks for taking the time to explain how all this works. Please note I have no problem with folks making large amounts of money off my viewing of their videos.
Looks like you’ve grown immensely since this video was made! I also follow ContentBug, great channels. I look forward to following you as well, thanks for sharing
Considering that Mauler reviews entire movies scene by scene and this guy is just saying "How much money do youtubers make" I think the claim is still accurate lol
Extremely interesting video. This video just popped up on my 'maybe you'll like this' list. I've never watched any vids like this one before, so I don't know why it appeared there. But I'm glad it did, as I have thought about the subject, tho never searched or watched a vid about it. And, I hope it landed on many more people's 'maybe you'll like this' list, and that you'll make a few dollars from it. Really well put together, and very easy to understand, and very likable chap. Good luck with it all. Rich UK 🥰🥰🥰.
Girls... its all about those boy crazy girls at 11 and older watching videos none stop of guys they think are cute and they sit there all day with smiles and goo goo eyes on a dude. Thats how they make their money. Off these boy crazy girls.
What i wanted to say was that attractive faces get more views. Its a bitter truth whether u accept or not. I am saying whether its good or bad but its been going on for a long time
Well it’s a marathon. So if you quit a year in because you hate doing all the needed research for each new video, you made zero dollars Best chance is to go with what you find interesting

I'm 2 I'm watching on a graphing calculator I have a ad multiplier that multiplies the ad by 10x And I'm watching in the middle of the Bermuda triangle How much money do I make you
Holy crap this is so interesting! I didn't even know CPM could go that high I can tell you over the course of my channel my total CPM is under one dollar, just to add to your frame of reference. This is probably in part because I highly dislike mid- and endroll ads so I've never enabled them, so the revenue only comes from preroll ads
@Rachel Ellis is this a troll account? A lesson I really try hard for the internet, (and is the reason I left Twitter), is to treat people I interact with on the the internet the same was as I would in real life. So I’m happy to challenge what I perceive to be negative behaviour but I’m not going to be really abusive or threatening because that’s not what I would do if I met you in person. I’ve found that my interactions online are now far more positive and I honestly think if we all at least tried to do that, the internet would be a nicer place. You really don’t have to believe in Disney to make the world around you a little better and you certainly don’t need to stamp all over someone’s wishes for others to enjoy success. I’m sure that’s not something you would do in real life and I encourage you to take those values and apply them online.
Thanks, appreciate the info. I can't see myself ever having a RUclips channel, but I always wonder how much $ the content creator makes from me watching.
So if i told someone i'm asleep(but since i told them i am obviously not in that state) but i don't intend to deceive them, then what have i just done?
You still lied or you told a joke. If you want to get pedantic (worth mentioning, but not really related to the discussion at hand) and continue the meaning into territory that wasn't within the context of what was being discussed you can add "...and/or knowledge that what you are 'saying' is untrue."
@@thematrixhasyou3521 No, that wouldn't be a lie. That's just simply being wrong. Imagine answering a question on a test and getting it wrong... you didn't lie.
I was wondering the same. But I guess they are not really profitable. Not many art supply companies (be it digital or traditional) seem to be interested in putting their adds on RUclips. Most art channels I know, have a Patreon to support them and a solid fanbase behind that. Plus certain sponsors, that want their products reviewed on camera, by that person. I bet they don't make much money off RUclips specifically. (At least that would explain why there isn't much information about it out there) No expert, just a guess after processing the video. Have a great day 🙂
@@inalakai6888 so true, didn't even thought about sponsors... most i've seen on art channels is stuff like squarespace, skittshare which is not really art related
@@seditt5146 You are not wrong. I only meant that they make most of their money "outside" of youtube itself. Even if their review a product on their channel, they live off the money of those sponsors. While most beginners obviously won't be so lucky, if they don't bring a (huge) following from another platform in, to be attractive enough to be partnered with.🙂 But I got curious now, as to how many ads the usual art-channel rolls during their videos. 🤔
I think the reason, the primary reason, that for gaming and tech stuff that the CPM is so low by comparison to lifestyle people is because of a couple factors, but the main of which likely being that Adblock is MUCH more prevalent among gaming and tech people than people who watch daily vlogs and etc.

In fact when trolls start giving me crap about the $$$ rolling in, I'm going to give them a link to this video.
Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Your editing is fantastic and you have a good sense of humor. Definitely deserve a lot more subs
Very interesting and honest video!! Best of luck 👍
Hi Jimmy, thanks for sharing the information with me. I enjoyed the details and indepth of all the information you share :) with all the ads... most likely your video is performing well :)
That's why I vlog simply for my legacy. So that when I'm gone, I could at least be remembered for what I was.
This was great, and helpful. I don't have a channel, but was always curious about how the process worked. Hope you continue to be successful and have fun along the way!
Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to reveal how much you make, keep rocking that content bro.
me: You got from 20k to 90k Subs in 4 months, now that's amazing.
Right?!
yep, and m, I just have like a couple subs, pls help me get...
Amazing 👏👏
Right?!?

Wow dude. You do you lol.
AS a CPA, I appreciate the way you explained deductible business expenses. That seems to be the number 1 thing that my clients struggle with understanding.
Guys this is long okay. The reason I didn’t split this up into paragraphs is so that you can highlight everything and use your device to dictate it! Sorry but I think that this is worth a quick listen!! 😀👍
Gillian Perkins (a person who Jimmy mentioned,) says that she doesn’t want to put mid-roll ads in her videos because she says that she doesn’t want to sacrifice her regular viewers for monetised viewers, if that makes sense. What she means is that she thinks that if there are mid-roll ads (which you can choose to or choose not to have if your video is over ten minutes long, I think,) she thinks people are more likely to click off her video (she says that she sometimes does this herself) and watch ‘one of those shiny videos on the sidebar.’ She doesn’t want people to click off her videos, because: A) The longer people watch her videos after a click, the more likely RUclips is to recommend it to others. B) She wants her videos to reach the widest possible audience, to help people who watch them. (Which is nice) She has all other ads turned on, but has said that her CPM could *double* if she turned on mid-roll ads. I don’t think that I would do this personally but even so I can still see why she does this.
Joel McDonald Bro what?? How do u know???
Joel McDonald oh lol haha
I use ad-blockers. Thanks for reminding me that I need to turn them off when viewing the channels that actually promote my interests.
That's a pretty sound decision, that way you only support the channels you want to or believe deserve the support
Yeah I have it too but I turn it off for my favorite creators/small creators!
Same here.. Turned off mine. ALTHOUGH it wasnt really working on ads.. I still got them in the video.
It does help, can't wait until I can get monetized some day, that's something I want to work towards (^_^)
I buy merch from channels I like. not gonna disable my adblocker for anyone. spending $20 on a t shirt helps the content creators way more than my youtube views ever could. if they don't do merch or I'm not interested in their merch I'll follow them on patreon, floatplane, full30, whatever. if they do livestreams I'll do direct donations there. I don't watch ads and I will never watch ads.
You have a great personal communications style. Even when you're presenting challenging information, you do so without being intimidating or pretentious.
Thanks and very good luck to you Jimmy Tries World!

Gaming channels make extremely little money, it can depend on the type of game you're playing but most videos get demonetised, basically instantly.
Sad but true, a lot of game and music companies claim copyright on the game footage, and take the ad revenue.
I mean tbh no one should expect a video that took maybe a couple hours to make with little to no editing of someone siting on their ass with their friends playing a popular game to make money. Of course their gonna take the ad revenue. Because without their game, they wouldn't make videos in the first place nor would majority of their viewers watch in first place.
Its like reaction channels. You're taking someone else's work and using it to attract ppl to watch you. Ppl will watch at first for the show or anime or movie that your watching but if you arent interesting or entertaining forget it they won't stick around. Any popular reaction channel eventually starts selling either merchandise with their logo or image or has a sponsorhsip or patreon because their content while entertaining to some does not sell anything.
The primary way to make money on RUclips is to sell something. This guy reviews tech/gadgets, makes finance vids, things that help to sell either a product or an idea like how much can I expect to make if i create a channel?? Which can possible convince someone start one up as well.
@@Lrodpotato I am not gonna argue that gaming channels have a lower skill tree to make content,but I have to disagree with the argument its on the same level as reaction and that because they are using popular games they dont deserve to be properly monetized.Most reaction channels literally do below bare minimum as they are passive they just blink.Whereas gaming channels do offer something such as broad appeal as many popular channels play games that inform customers on what they can expect experience fromt eh game to see if they may wish to purchase said game(like the LOU2 sitation),Many game companies feature prominanat gaming creators in their marketing as said creators have more broader reach(twitch streams like NINJA,TIFU and DR DISREPECT),We also cannot disregard equipment cost for the viewer as some people may not have the funds to purchase expensive gaming rigs and watching someone play that game may be as close as they may get ,walkthoughs are also a genre that help players who are stuck troubleshoot their way out of a frustrating situation(silent hill,hello neighbour etc).I am not saying/arguing that gaming channels dont have it easier time starting and making content what I am saying is if it gets views and the viewer got value from the content as companies would not spending millions of dollars on exclusive contracts,esports tournaments,gamer sponsorships etc if their was not money to be made from gaming content creators. its simple if the consumer gets value from gaming channels their should be proper monetary compensation,as many companies are in an arms race for gaming content(twich and know youtube gaming), as it is easy for anyone to 8 year old to just hit record,but to get a following/make it a career one needs to be better than just a"record me yelling and shooting"gaming channel.
I have no dog in this fight,but their is alot of nuance that is often missed when people see quick views.
@@koketsok1513 Dont worry. I think you misunderstood me. I merely meant its similar in terms that theyre using someone else's material as the baseline of their content. Nothing else. Altho I personally never watched a gaming channel for a game that I hadn't already purchased myself. However I have watched Gaming Channel's other content for *them* specifically not because I had any desire or interest to purchase the game they were playing. I simply found them entertaining. But thats just me. And I think our definitions of gaming channel differs. To me a gaming channel is a channel that plays games primarily to market themselves. Like H20 Delirious or Vanoss. Not game reviews or 100% completion game channels or channels that give info in game content you might've missed, etc. I consider those types of channels to be more specific in terms of their content which takes alot more work.
@@Lrodpotato Ok,I understand where you coming from.The problem is the baseline,every content needs a baseline of familiarity in order to be easily recognized eg makeup channels have cosmetics and anime review channels have well anime movies/episodes car channels have cars,parts etc.I can understand the frustration of reaction channels as they had no transformative value and provided us no additional information.Gaming channels may be passive ,but unlike reaction channels the experience does differ even when many gameing channels play similar games and the person says nothing the viewer can get a good idea if the game is for them/if they want to keep watching and no one looses as if that person does not buy the game its not like the company lost any money(unlike reaction channels were using other peoples content actually subtracts value from its creator).And aside from reviews,just playing a game is enough.As I said earlier companies want gaming content as it provides additonal publicity ,that is why many studios have implemented the "photo mode" feature it enable gamers to take pics of in game events and in tern provides developers with "free"(I say free but in all honesty you are paying to show their work).Yes the basline to enter gaming is easy,but to grow and maintaining a gaming channel is hard,trends come and trends go, it becomes easy to see who is here to play(insert new game)and have their 2 months of fame and those who offer something,that is why I said if their is a viewrship that means people see value,companies see value and possible sponships see value ,as the game is the baseline but to give it value the creator needs to be better than just a record monkey and when they are,and when they have built something they have every right to fare compensation,as in a industry where anyone can do it not everyone can maintain a following and to those who can, give them their rewards just like any other creator.

New Photography Channel Here :)
Hiya@@Nickrenaudphotography !
Ive never bought anything i saw in an ad, in fact ive bought different brands of basic goods if i remembered them interrupting my life with a stupid ad.
Okay!♥
I begin TODAY!
THANK you for applying these Principles!
Certain videos do well because they have retained ads. Companies seek these videos out and compete :) I think that's why your finance video did so well! Good job bro!
Yes boss!
It also deals with the types of advertisers, the competition resulting from industry changes (usually advertisement focuses) and the total value of the product being sold or the ROI (return on investment) resulting from potential and residual (bad term sometimes) purchasers. If you're trying to sell a rocket ship, and can do so with ease, you'd more than likely have a huge amount of revenue, but if you're selling something like a video game, and only get < 1,000 viewers a CPM with $90.00 wouldn't really make sense unless you're doing simulator videos with simulator rigs worth $900,000 per product ... but then again you have to make people enjoy the channel and continue watching enough to be interested in finishing the advertisements.
BTW brightcove was a competitor against youtube.com meaning that youtube is still trying to hold on to their platform focus in hopes that people will use online video viewing the correct way at some point ... the servers kinda need the help considering no one knows how much gigawatts are needed to compute a proper video competition metrics.
Another thing that wasnt pointed out but is really really important is the watch time. If you get a lot of views but they only watch for 2-3 minutes on a 5-10 minute video it will hurt your revenue per 1000 quite a bit because 1) they will most likely only watch 1 off the ads in the video, 2) It tells the RUclips Algorithm that you don't have an interesting or engaging channel, more so just click bait titles. About the 11 minutes in we can see that MattCS has 3 million views and 215k watch hours but still isnt making much money compared to others. The women that comes after him as about have the views(1.6million) but has 133k watch hours... not to mention gaming content in itself makes less money on ads and more money on sponsors, and are more likely to have viewers that use ad block.
You don't make much money on political channels. It really depends on what you talk about.
Lol what? Tim Pool makes plenty of money. Joe Rogan? The Young Turks? Sam Seder? Kyle Krasinski?
Dude, that is merely the obvious.
Ecktor if you think Tim Pool is a fence sitter you’re crazy
I always find myself binge watching political channel videos lol

One of the long term questions I have had about RUclips compensation. I have considered putting out videos myself and wondered if it was worth the trouble. Then I see videos put out by some of my favorite channels and they seem to do very well indeed. Thanks for taking the time to explain how all this works. Please note I have no problem with folks making large amounts of money off my viewing of their videos.

what i have noticed is that beautiful/handsome/attractive people get more views . their faces work like a clickbait.
Girls... its all about those boy crazy girls at 11 and older watching videos none stop of guys they think are cute and they sit there all day with smiles and goo goo eyes on a dude. Thats how they make their money. Off these boy crazy girls.
What i wanted to say was that attractive faces get more views. Its a bitter truth whether u accept or not. I am saying whether its good or bad but its been going on for a long time
@@jimjung172 it is not a bitter truth, it is just natural selection.

Holy crap this is so interesting! I didn't even know CPM could go that high
I can tell you over the course of my channel my total CPM is under one dollar, just to add to your frame of reference. This is probably in part because I highly dislike mid- and endroll ads so I've never enabled them, so the revenue only comes from preroll ads

@Rachel Ellis is this a troll account?
A lesson I really try hard for the internet, (and is the reason I left Twitter), is to treat people I interact with on the the internet the same was as I would in real life.
So I’m happy to challenge what I perceive to be negative behaviour but I’m not going to be really abusive or threatening because that’s not what I would do if I met you in person.
I’ve found that my interactions online are now far more positive and I honestly think if we all at least tried to do that, the internet would be a nicer place.
You really don’t have to believe in Disney to make the world around you a little better and you certainly don’t need to stamp all over someone’s wishes for others to enjoy success. I’m sure that’s not something you would do in real life and I encourage you to take those values and apply them online.
@@adamwest8711 But you still won't make as much as Disney.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Hope you get a great CPM on this one.
Thanks, appreciate the info. I can't see myself ever having a RUclips channel, but I always wonder how much $ the content creator makes from me watching.
And now your at 70K subs , well done 👍 I need to make one for - MY FIRST MONTH on RUclips haha
FYI my CPM is $2.46 and I'm in the hiking/outdoor niche, but also fitness. Good thing I'm not in this to make millions. Awesome video man, thankyou!
"...I technically lied to you to..." No, a lie requires intent to deceive.
exactly
So if i told someone i'm asleep(but since i told them i am obviously not in that state) but i don't intend to deceive them, then what have i just done?
You still lied or you told a joke.
If you want to get pedantic (worth mentioning, but not really related to the discussion at hand) and continue the meaning into territory that wasn't within the context of what was being discussed you can add "...and/or knowledge that what you are 'saying' is untrue."
What if you think you're right and you are wrong. Is it a lie then?
@@thematrixhasyou3521 No, that wouldn't be a lie. That's just simply being wrong.
Imagine answering a question on a test and getting it wrong... you didn't lie.

Very insightful. Also thanks for the transparancy. 😊
I wish you had talked about art related channels... they don’t tend to talk about the finance, but I’m curious as to the cpm for an art channel
I was wondering the same.
But I guess they are not really profitable. Not many art supply companies (be it digital or traditional) seem to be interested in putting their adds on RUclips.
Most art channels I know, have a Patreon to support them and a solid fanbase behind that.
Plus certain sponsors, that want their products reviewed on camera, by that person.
I bet they don't make much money off RUclips specifically.
(At least that would explain why there isn't much information about it out there)
No expert, just a guess after processing the video.
Have a great day 🙂
@@inalakai6888 so true, didn't even thought about sponsors... most i've seen on art channels is stuff like squarespace, skittshare which is not really art related
@@inalakai6888 What I see is direct product placement on a hardcore level. I would not write off their value just yet.
@@seditt5146 You are not wrong. I only meant that they make most of their money "outside" of youtube itself.
Even if their review a product on their channel, they live off the money of those sponsors.
While most beginners obviously won't be so lucky, if they don't bring a (huge) following from another platform in, to be attractive enough to be partnered with.🙂
But I got curious now, as to how many ads the usual art-channel rolls during their videos. 🤔
