Frequently Asked Questions

• What is RPM on YouTube? ▼
  RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is how much you earn per 1,000 video views, after YouTube's 45% cut. It differs from CPM (Cost Per Mille), which is what advertisers pay before YouTube's share. Typical RPM ranges from $1–50 depending on niche and audience.
• How many views do you need to make $1,000/month? ▼
  At an average RPM of $5, you need 200,000 views/month. Finance creators with $25 RPM only need 40,000 views. Sponsorships can replace or exceed ad revenue at much lower view counts.
• What are the YouTube monetization requirements? ▼
  You need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months (or 10M Shorts views in 90 days) to join the YouTube Partner Program. Channel must comply with all monetization policies.
• Does YouTube Premium affect revenue? ▼
  Yes. YouTube Premium subscribers generate revenue based on watch time even without ads. Premium revenue typically adds 5–15% on top of ad revenue depending on audience demographics.
