How Much YouTube Pays for a Video with 1,000,000 Views?
How Much Does a 1,000,000 Viewed Video Pay? |
With over some years of experience on YouTube, I've often been asked about the earnings from a video that reaches one million views within a month. So, let's dive into how YouTube pays for such high-viewed videos.
YouTube Payment Strategy
YouTube's payment algorithm primarily revolves around CPM
(cost per mile) and CPC (cost per click). These factors, along with several
others, determine the earnings from your videos on the platform. Some key
factors include:
- The language and content of your video.
- The audience you've targeted.
- The geographical location of your audience, whether local or international.
The revenue you earn can vary based on these factors.
Let's say your videos primarily attract viewers from Nepal. Before we delve into earnings, let's understand CPM and CPC:
- CPM (Cost per Mile): This is the revenue you earn for a thousand ad views.
- CPC (Cost per Click): This represents the earnings per click on an advertisement.
The Click-Through Rate (CTR) is typically around 2%, indicating that about 2% of viewers click on the ads shown in your video.
Let's break down the earnings:
- If the average CPM is $0.40, then your earnings for 1 million views would be around $400.
- Assuming a 2% CTR, we estimate approximately 20,000 clicks on a million views.
- If the CPC in Nepal ranges from $0.01 to $0.05, let's take an average of $0.02. This means you'd earn an additional $400 from these clicks.
But remember, this calculation is based on viewership primarily from Nepal. If your video is watched in other countries, the CPM and CPC rates may differ, potentially increasing your earnings.
In conclusion, with views from various countries, you could earn anywhere between $1000 to $1500 for 1 million views, roughly equivalent to 100,000 to 150,000 Nepali rupees.
