How much money YouTube pays for 1,000 views, according to creators

  • YouTube creators can earn revenue from Google-placed advertisements on their videos.
  • Despite the economic downturn, YouTubers say their earnings from ads are remaining steady.
  • Here’s how much YouTube creators earn per 1,000 views.

For the first time since YouTube started reporting its advertising revenue in 2019, the video platform saw a slowdown last quarter, with ad revenue dropping to $7.07 billion from $7.2 billion in Q3 2021.

Creators, though, seem to have been spared big drops in their rates.

Insider spoke with a number of creators to see how their earnings from YouTube’s ad revenue share program have changed over time. Most reported that their revenue per mille (RPM) rate — or earnings per 1,000 views — have stayed steady year over year.
