and I'm pretty sure that you have at least for  once wondered how much do these youtubers make  

so in this video i'm gonna show you exact  data of how much money i made from 1 million  

views and i'm going to explain you  guys how you can make money as well

hi guys, it's me, Ruri. Today we're going to talk about money. Money is a taboo topic in our society  

I know that however talking about money learning  about finance is a very important thing in my  

opinion a year ago I watched Ali Abdaal's how  much money I make as a doctor YouTuber and how  

much money I make as a YouTuber videos it truly  opened my eyes and it really helped me so I hope  

this video will be helpful for you guys as well. so  let's get started here we have data from my  

the video which got 1 million views this is the most  a popular video on my channel which is titled what  

is like to be mixed this is the video that blew  up my channel, this is the video that changed my  

whole youtube game so this video got 1 million 20k  views since it was published most of the time when  

you look into other youtubers data people make  around thousand to three thousand dollars approximately  

however, this video made only five hundred dollars. don't get me wrong five hundred dollars is a great  

amount of money however when you compare to the  other youtubers making 1k to 3k dollars out of  

1 million views is pretty low and when  you look to this video mine which is titled  

how to learn Japanese it got only 355k views  however, it made 578 dollars it made more money  

then my 1 million view videos even though it has  like one of the third views of that viral video why  

is this happening I'm gonna explain to you why  when it comes to youtube it's not about views  

anymore amount of the views that you get is not  really explaining how much money you make there  

are so many factors that affect how much money  you make and I'm gonna break down every single  

the thing of that so when you look to this viral  video the video length is only seven minutes  

and when you look into that japanese video it's 13  minutes what does it mean so basically in order to  

add mid-roll ads which are the ads that you see  middle of the video your video needs to be longer  

then 8 minutes since this video is 7 minutes it  doesn't have any mid-roll ads so you basically  

see only an ad before and after the video however  this video is 13 minutes long so I can add mineral  

apps, and when you go to the monetization section  after you monetize your videos, you can manage the  

mineral ads and you can add as much as you want  maybe there is a limit that i don't know but you  

can basically control your ads so the length of  the video is actually a very big factor when it  

comes to the revenue that you're making another  factor that affects how much money you make from  

that video is rpm. RPM basically means revenue  per mille so that is the exact amount of money  

you make from thousand views so when you look  into this video for every thousand views i make  

only 49 cents which is pretty low because average  rpm is about one dollar to four dollars and when  

you look into the Japanese video my rpm is about  1.66 which is four times higher than the other  

video so as you can see from the graph my rpm is  changing through the whole time so it was like 49  

cents since it's published but when we look to  the last seven days it was around like 73 cents  

and when you look at this video it was around  like 1.66 cents however the last seven days it  

was two point five dollars why rpm changes let's  talk about those so since we learned about rpm so  

revenue per meal now we can talk about the factors  that affects rpm so the amount of money you make  

from thousand views so factor number one is topic  of your video basically, the topic that you choose  

for a video affects the amount of the money  you make if you choose a topic like real estate  

finance and technology you can make money  out of that video, why is this happening it's  

simply because real estate or finance related or  technology-related companies who are running ads  

through the video have more money to burn since  they have more money to burn they pay much more  

for those google ads running through the youtube  the video that's why your rpm is higher compared  

to other topics of the video for example this  video is about finance so the rpm of the video  

is probably gonna be higher than other topics of  my video like books or productivity because when  

it comes to topics like books the book publishing  companies don't have that much money compared to  

like banks or real estate agents or something so  the rpm of the video is of course gonna be lower  

than topics like this video if you want to  make real good money then going a topic like  

technology finance in real estate gonna make your  rpm much higher and you can make much more money  

than youtubers who have like millions and millions  of views in 2021 the amount of the views it  

doesn't describe anything the thing that describes  is your rpm you can have much less view than those  

like bigger youtubers however you can make much  more money than those for example graham stefan  

has a finance-related channel and he breaks down  his revenue and his rpm is so high like 10 or  

something so he makes 10 times more money than me  so if you want to start a youtube channel consider  

about those three topics real estate finance and  technology another factor that affects your rpm  

is your watch time if your viewers are watching  your video for a longer period of time then of  

course your rpm is gonna be higher because they're  more likely to watch an ad and if you have more  

youtube premium membership subscribers then you'll  gain more and I personally think like watching  

five to like 25 seconds of ads here and there is  so much waste of time so I'm a youtube premium  

and my whole family is in youtube premium as well  and you can make more money from youtube premium  

subscribers so encouraging your subscribers to  join youtube premium is also another great way  

to make your rpm higher another fact that affects  your rpm is the age of your viewers are  

older then you can make more money because they  have more money to spend on those things and  

they're more likely to collect those ads and buy  things so the last factor that affects your rpm  

is geography so some countries have higher rpm than  other countries so if it's a developed country  

like us or japan or something it has a higher  rpm than the countries that are developing or  

undeveloped so basically it's another factor  that affects your rpm so since we talked about  

what affects rpm let's talk about how much  money should you expect from 1 million views  

another factor that affected my viral video  is that i wasn't able to turn the monetization  

half of the video because at that time my  channel wasn't monetized in 2021 you need  

to have a thousand subscribers and four thousand  watch hour in order to monetize your channel and  

reaching that point is very difficult my  channel went viral in a couple of months  

and i was able to do that however this is like  my fifth channel and on my first channel i was  

probably only making like a cent or so I think i  made only like five dollars out of like 16 videos  

but at that time i was pretty happy about  that because as ali always says journey before  

destination so enjoying the process is the most  important thing when it comes to youtube however  

if you are serious about getting started on  youtube you're probably curious about how much  

money you can make the average rpm is about one  dollar to four dollars if you can choose a topic  

like finance real estate and technology it can go  up to ten dollars however expecting ten dollars  

at the beginning is not a realistic way to do it  so let's say your rpm is about like 1.5 to two  

dollars and the 20 views of your subscribers is  the average views that youtubers get for example i  

have a 180k subscribers so 36k is the view amount  that i should probably get from my videos and when  

you look at my average view ratio it's currently  about like 50k to 80k so my videos are much higher  

than the expected rate and you can multiply that  with rpm and you can figure out how much money i  

roughly make however when it comes to youtubers  it's not the only way that people make money for  

For example, when it comes to Ali, he says that only  10 percent of his revenue comes from the youtube  

adsense so when it comes to my channel we also  make money from sponsorships and from affiliates  

so the links that i put in my description  below are affiliate links so when you buy  

something from that link I get depends on the  the product however I usually get around like three  

to five percent of commission and every single  month i make like a little amount of money from  

those affiliates the more people click your  links and buy things more better it is for you  

and another factor is the sponsorships i can share  the sponsorship deal because it's illegal however  

the thing that i can say is that the the chunk of  the money that you make comes from sponsorships  

relying on a single source of income is not  stable at all and also another really great  

plan on long term currently i only have youtube  and sponsorships however i'm thinking about  

expanding my youtube game a bit more like creating  skillshare classes maybe starting a podcast and  

stuff so that i can expand my revenue and so that  i don't rely on single source of income so yeah  

that was it for today i hope you guys learned a  new thing from this video and i hope you're now  

able to guess how much money youtubers are making  i hope you like this video and i would like to  

know down in the comments below how much did you  guess youtubers can make from 1 million video  

because i made an instagram poll and most of  the people voted around like 1k up to 10 10k so  

let me know in the comments down  below and let me see my next video bye
