How much do YouTubers make to create such a lucrative platform like this and should you dive into a YouTube career too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re going to dissect the truth and tell you how much you can earn, realistically and ideally. Discover everything you need to know in our breakdown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Big Numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/2018\/02\/study-youtube-stars-earnings-us-median-income\/\">only a small percentage<\/a> of creators earn millions in revenue on YouTube. That said, how much do these select few earn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryan, from Ryan&#8217;s World and Ryan&#8217;s ToysReview, earned as much as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/12\/20\/ryan-kaji-remains-youtubes-highest-earner-making-26-million-in-2019.html\">$26 million this past 2019<\/a>. Video gaming favorites PewDiePie and Markiplier both earned $13 million in 2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These content creators also have millions of subscribers. Having subscribers doesn&#8217;t automatically mean you&#8217;ll earn but it guarantees you get repeat viewers. That matters in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Do YouTubers Make?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Disregarding the tiny percent of big content creators, how much do YouTubers make on average?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all depends on calculating <a href=\"https:\/\/mediashark.co\/youtube-cpm\/\">YouTube CPM<\/a> (cost per mille), which refers to the revenue per 1,000 views. On average, this fluctuates between $0.3 to $1, though it can go higher. This means a video with 1 million views can earn anywhere from $300,000 to $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is, however, only if you look at earnings coming from ads. There are other ways to earn on YouTube but these other methods don&#8217;t have a definitive rate. To better understand the reasons behind this, let&#8217;s discuss how YouTubers make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do YouTubers Make Money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The aforementioned YouTube CPM is one method. The more views your videos get, the more you&#8217;ll earn through ads. This is the method that most startups rely on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as a YouTuber gains popularity and more subscriptions, they may get approached for sponsorship deals. A sponsor might ask a YouTuber to talk about a product or service and in return, the sponsor pays the content creator. People with a lot of influence and subscribers on YouTube become influencers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencer marketing isn&#8217;t the only avenue available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTubers can also earn through affiliate marketing. This is when&nbsp;a YouTuber&#8217;s video functions as an in-depth review of a product and then they&#8217;ll add an affiliate link in the video&#8217;s description.&nbsp;When someone&nbsp;clicks on that link and then purchases the product, the YouTuber earns a commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn to Make Money on YouTube Now!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How much do YouTubers make? While some can earn millions, most earn less than $1 per 1,000 views. With so many people hopping on the platform nowadays, it&#8217;s even harder to make it big and financially survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do YouTubers make money? There are a lot of ways but ad revenue and sponsorships are the two main methods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, succeeding on YouTube is all about making good content and effective marketing.
