you probably saw youtubers buying luxury cars designer clothing and expensive houses.
and I'm pretty sure that you have at least for once wondered how much do these youtubers make
so in this video i'm gonna show you exact data of how much money i made from 1 million
views and i'm going to explain you guys how you can make money as well
hi guys, it's me, Ruri. Today we're going to talk about money. Money is a taboo topic in our society
I know that however talking about money learning about finance is a very important thing in my
opinion a year ago I watched Ali Abdaal's how much money I make as a doctor YouTuber and how
much money I make as a YouTuber videos it truly opened my eyes and it really helped me so I hope
this video will be helpful for you guys as well. so let's get started here we have data from my
the video which got 1 million views this is the most a popular video on my channel which is titled what
is like to be mixed this is the video that blew up my channel, this is the video that changed my
whole youtube game so this video got 1 million 20k views since it was published most of the time when
you look into other youtubers data people make around thousand to three thousand dollars approximately
however, this video made only five hundred dollars. don't get me wrong five hundred dollars is a great
amount of money however when you compare to the other youtubers making 1k to 3k dollars out of
1 million views is pretty low and when you look to this video mine which is titled
how to learn Japanese it got only 355k views however, it made 578 dollars it made more money
then my 1 million view videos even though it has like one of the third views of that viral video why
is this happening I'm gonna explain to you why when it comes to youtube it's not about views
anymore amount of the views that you get is not really explaining how much money you make there
are so many factors that affect how much money you make and I'm gonna break down every single
the thing of that so when you look to this viral video the video length is only seven minutes
and when you look into that japanese video it's 13 minutes what does it mean so basically in order to
add mid-roll ads which are the ads that you see middle of the video your video needs to be longer
then 8 minutes since this video is 7 minutes it doesn't have any mid-roll ads so you basically
see only an ad before and after the video however this video is 13 minutes long so I can add mineral
apps, and when you go to the monetization section after you monetize your videos, you can manage the
mineral ads and you can add as much as you want maybe there is a limit that i don't know but you
can basically control your ads so the length of the video is actually a very big factor when it
comes to the revenue that you're making another factor that affects how much money you make from
that video is rpm. RPM basically means revenue per mille so that is the exact amount of money
you make from thousand views so when you look into this video for every thousand views i make
only 49 cents which is pretty low because average rpm is about one dollar to four dollars and when
you look into the Japanese video my rpm is about 1.66 which is four times higher than the other
video so as you can see from the graph my rpm is changing through the whole time so it was like 49
cents since it's published but when we look to the last seven days it was around like 73 cents
and when you look at this video it was around like 1.66 cents however the last seven days it
was two point five dollars why rpm changes let's talk about those so since we learned about rpm so
revenue per meal now we can talk about the factors that affects rpm so the amount of money you make
from thousand views so factor number one is topic of your video basically, the topic that you choose
for a video affects the amount of the money you make if you choose a topic like real estate
finance and technology you can make money out of that video, why is this happening it's
simply because real estate or finance related or technology-related companies who are running ads
through the video have more money to burn since they have more money to burn they pay much more
for those google ads running through the youtube the video that's why your rpm is higher compared
to other topics of the video for example this video is about finance so the rpm of the video
is probably gonna be higher than other topics of my video like books or productivity because when
it comes to topics like books the book publishing companies don't have that much money compared to
like banks or real estate agents or something so the rpm of the video is of course gonna be lower
than topics like this video if you want to make real good money then going a topic like
technology finance in real estate gonna make your rpm much higher and you can make much more money
than youtubers who have like millions and millions of views in 2021 the amount of the views it
doesn't describe anything the thing that describes is your rpm you can have much less view than those
like bigger youtubers however you can make much more money than those for example graham stefan
has a finance-related channel and he breaks down his revenue and his rpm is so high like 10 or
something so he makes 10 times more money than me so if you want to start a youtube channel consider
about those three topics real estate finance and technology another factor that affects your rpm
is your watch time if your viewers are watching your video for a longer period of time then of
course your rpm is gonna be higher because they're more likely to watch an ad and if you have more
youtube premium membership subscribers then you'll gain more and I personally think like watching
five to like 25 seconds of ads here and there is so much waste of time so I'm a youtube premium
and my whole family is in youtube premium as well and you can make more money from youtube premium
subscribers so encouraging your subscribers to join youtube premium is also another great way
to make your rpm higher another fact that affects your rpm is the age of your viewers are
older then you can make more money because they have more money to spend on those things and
they're more likely to collect those ads and buy things so the last factor that affects your rpm
is geography so some countries have higher rpm than other countries so if it's a developed country
like us or japan or something it has a higher rpm than the countries that are developing or
undeveloped so basically it's another factor that affects your rpm so since we talked about
what affects rpm let's talk about how much money should you expect from 1 million views
another factor that affected my viral video is that i wasn't able to turn the monetization
half of the video because at that time my channel wasn't monetized in 2021 you need
to have a thousand subscribers and four thousand watch hour in order to monetize your channel and
reaching that point is very difficult my channel went viral in a couple of months
and i was able to do that however this is like my fifth channel and on my first channel i was
probably only making like a cent or so I think i made only like five dollars out of like 16 videos
but at that time i was pretty happy about that because as ali always says journey before
destination so enjoying the process is the most important thing when it comes to youtube however
if you are serious about getting started on youtube you're probably curious about how much
money you can make the average rpm is about one dollar to four dollars if you can choose a topic
like finance real estate and technology it can go up to ten dollars however expecting ten dollars
at the beginning is not a realistic way to do it so let's say your rpm is about like 1.5 to two
dollars and the 20 views of your subscribers is the average views that youtubers get for example i
have a 180k subscribers so 36k is the view amount that i should probably get from my videos and when
you look at my average view ratio it's currently about like 50k to 80k so my videos are much higher
than the expected rate and you can multiply that with rpm and you can figure out how much money i
roughly make however when it comes to youtubers it's not the only way that people make money for
For example, when it comes to Ali, he says that only 10 percent of his revenue comes from the youtube
adsense so when it comes to my channel we also make money from sponsorships and from affiliates
so the links that i put in my description below are affiliate links so when you buy
something from that link I get depends on the the product however I usually get around like three
to five percent of commission and every single month i make like a little amount of money from
those affiliates the more people click your links and buy things more better it is for you
and another factor is the sponsorships i can share the sponsorship deal because it's illegal however
the thing that i can say is that the the chunk of the money that you make comes from sponsorships
relying on a single source of income is not stable at all and also another really great
plan on long term currently i only have youtube and sponsorships however i'm thinking about
expanding my youtube game a bit more like creating skillshare classes maybe starting a podcast and
stuff so that i can expand my revenue and so that i don't rely on single source of income so yeah
that was it for today i hope you guys learned a new thing from this video and i hope you're now
able to guess how much money youtubers are making i hope you like this video and i would like to
know down in the comments below how much did you guess youtubers can make from 1 million video
because i made an instagram poll and most of the people voted around like 1k up to 10 10k so
let me know in the comments down below and let me see my next video bye
