Does the YouTube Platform Pay Per View?

I think the most sensitive spot on YouTube earnings can be “How much does YouTube pay per view?”

Unfortunately, YouTube doesn’t pay for video views. The platform makes payment for ad views.

You can earn big bucks with ad views that you place on your channel and videos. Each creator has CPM- cost per mille (1,000 views)- which means knowing how much money an eligible user makes per 1,000 views is possible.

How Much Does YouTube Pay for Ad Views?

YouTube ad viewership can be the primary way to earn money on YouTube. After you have joined the YouTube Partner Program, you start placing advertisements on your channel and videos. From those ads, you will gain a fair percentage. YouTube takes 45% of what advertisers pay for video ad placements, and the content creators get the rest- 55%. 

It can be said that the average YouTube pay rate is between $0.01 and $0.03 for each view. An average YouTuber earns $0.018 per ad view, which equals $18 for every 1,000 views.

According to my research, I have discovered that the 3% of the highest-paid YouTubers earn from advertising revenue approximately $17,000 every year. The average content creators on YouTube make $1,269 every week and $5,449 monthly.

CPM can vary according to your niche and content. If you create video content on marketing, finance, investment, real estate, or technology, you may earn more than other niches, which can be approximately between $11 and $14 per 1,000 views. You may ask why the earning for every 1,000 varies according to niches. Google AdSense has an auction-based advertising system, and an advertiser pays some keywords more money because those are of greater value than others.

How Much Does YouTube Pay Per 1,000 Ad Views? 

Suppose that your YouTube video has 1,000 ad views, your ad revenue can be between $2 and $20. It can be said that 1,000 video views and 1,000 ad views don’t have the same profit. 

How Much Does YouTube Pay for 100K Ad Views? 

If you choose your niche wisely when you reach 100,000 ad views per video, your earnings can vary range from $120 to $2,000. Of course, it can happen if you create unique and high-quality content and regularly post them. You should have a social media marketing strategy to make more money on the video-sharing platform. 

How Much Does YouTube Pay for 1 Million Ad Views? 

Assume that you get 1,000,000 ad views, it means that you have reached the milestone. Congratulations! You’re so lucky because, officially, you become an influencer. A YouTube creator can earn a range from $1,200 to $14,000 after reaching a million views, it depends on your CPM.

As well as ad revenue, now, you can have various opportunities to make more money on YouTube. Selling your own products or giving lessons about your niche or specialty can be one of the income streams. You can get sponsorship or provide affiliate links to your subscribers.

When Does YouTube Start Paying You? 

As well as knowing how much YouTube makes money on the platform, you must know the requirements to earn money.

A channel owner should create videos and obtain YouTube subscribers, views, and likes to initiate the revenue streams. The users need to join the YouTube partner program to become eligible creators.
