How YouTube Pays Creators
YouTube pays creators through AdSense based on RPM (Revenue Per Mille) — the revenue per 1,000 video views. Not every view is monetized: only views where an ad impression was served count. Typically 40–60% of views are monetized, depending on audience geography and content category.
RPM by Niche and Country (Typical Ranges)
| Niche | India RPM | US/UK RPM |
|---|---|---|
| Finance / Investing | $3–8 | $15–40 |
| Technology | $2–5 | $8–20 |
| Education | $1.5–4 | $5–15 |
| Entertainment | $0.5–2 | $2–8 |
| Gaming | $0.5–1.5 | $2–6 |
Beyond AdSense: Other Revenue Streams
Sponsorships and brand deals are typically 3–10× more lucrative than AdSense for the same views. A channel with 100K subscribers in a tech niche can command ₹50,000–₹2,00,000 per sponsored video. Affiliate marketing (commission per sale), channel memberships, Super Chats, and merchandise round out a diversified creator income.
