## Transcript

videos where YouTubers tell you how much
money they're making have become more
popular than ever so there's clearly a
huge interest in knowing how much
YouTube pays creators I've helped people
understand how much YouTube is paying
YouTubers in the past with these videos
here and I wanted to give people the
most upto-date accurate information for
2021 so I went ahead and I watched a ton
of videos from YouTubers released
recently where they're telling their
audiences how much money YouTube is
currently paying them YouTube channels
of all different shapes and sizes is to
figure out an upto-date
2021 amount of how much YouTube is
paying YouTubers per thousand views in
2021 and I even went one step further
and I broke down exactly how much each
different type of YouTube channel is
currently making so you'll be able to
see how much you can expect to earn as a
YouTube Creator depending on the topics
you choose to discuss in your YouTube
videos so YouTube 101 YouTube pays
creators for the ads it shows on
Creative videos YouTube puts adverts
before sometimes during and also after
the videos it shows on the website
YouTube will keep their own cut of the
money that advertisers have paid them to
show ads on the website and then give
creators their share and that's what
this video is going to cover the money
that creators get after YouTube has
taken their cut this is the money that
will actually be hitting your pocket as
a Creator so from going away myself from
watching 36 of the most recent youTube
earning reveal videos on YouTube from
that data I can say that in
2021 per th000 views YouTubers are
receiving
$756 C per th000 views that's pretty
mind-blowing because it's believed that
the average you can actually expect to
earn on YouTube is between 1 to $3
that's what I've said in previous videos
in 2018 2019 but this genuine data that
I've got from YouTubers in 2021 shows
that you can be looking to make closer
to
$756 for each ,000 views you get this
year now that
$756 is an average earnings number for
every th000 views you're going to get on
YouTube across all 36 of those channels
I used in my research I'm going to show
you the earnings breakdown per 1,000
views that you can expect to get for
each type of YouTube channel that I
found in my research on screen in a list
in just a second but in addition to
topics there's other things out there
that determine whether you get paid more
or less from ads for each thousand views
you get on your videos such as whether
you swear in your videos how long your
videos are and the country that your
viewers live in and there's even more
additional methods that you can use to
make even more money for each thousand
views you get on your channel you can
get sponsorships for your videos you can
start selling your merchandise for your
videos or even sell your own digital
product to name a few now Shameless plug

factors and the others I didn't mention

popular types of YouTube channels to run
