## Summary

The creator reveals their YouTube earnings from 11.3 million total views, breaking down revenue from both short-form and long-form content. They explain key metrics like CPM and RPM, and compare the profitability of different video types.

### Key Points

- **Total Views Breakdown** [00:01] — The channel has 11.3 million views, but most come from shorts (e.g., 4.4M and 2.8M views on top shorts) rather than long-form videos.
- **CPM vs RPM Explained** [00:40] — CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 views; RPM is what the creator actually earns. For long-form, RPM can be high (e.g., $16 for a day trading video), while shorts have much lower RPM (e.g., $0.27 per 1,000 views).
- **Top Short Earnings** [01:50] — A short with 4.5 million views earned $657.14 and gained 8,800 subscribers. Another short with 2.8 million views earned $311.57.
- **Top Long-Form Video Earnings** [03:10] — The most viewed long-form video (412,000 views) earned $1,800 with an RPM of $4.46. It continues to earn about $3 per day.
- **Second Most Viewed Long-Form** [04:01] — A video with 243,000 views earned $700, with an RPM of $2.87.
- **Recent 28-Day Revenue** [04:29] — In the last 28 days, the creator earned $344.19 from 51,000 views and one video upload.
- **Monthly Revenue Fluctuations** [05:08] — Monthly earnings vary: $253 in a typical month, but $1,200 in November when ad rates are high and shorts were posted frequently.
- **Lifetime Earnings Revealed** [06:13] — Total lifetime estimated revenue is $5,551. Of that, $1,400 came from shorts and $4,000 from long-form videos.

### Conclusion

The creator's YouTube earnings total $5,551 from 11.3 million views, with long-form videos generating the majority of revenue despite fewer views. Shorts drive subscriber growth but pay significantly less per view.

## Transcript

so in this video I'm going to reveal exactly how much YouTube paid me for let's just get right into it because I already have Studio pulled up right here YouTube analytics so as you can see in the history of this YouTube channel I've
gotten 11.3 million views but if we actually go to my channel here we can see that my most popular long form video only has 412,000 views and then 243,000 and then 91,000 and that does not add up to 11 million and obviously that's
because all my most popular videos are short so my most popular short got 4.4 2.8 million and don't worry a little bit later on this video I'm going to reveal exactly how much each of these videos made me and long form this video is by
money but anyways I just wanted to make it clear that most of my views are from short form content and that makes a lot less money than long form so let me show pulled up here I have the CPM this is how much advertisers pay per th000 views
explained this so I'm not going to go too much into it but YouTube does not pay you that full amount this is my RPM and this is how much I actually get paid channel you'll get paid a different amount but for this video my RPM is
topics will make more money because there's advertisers willing to pay more like this day trading video of mine has an RPM of $16 and as you can see on this video I only have 3.9 th000 views but I make $721 per every th000 views so in
$286 if you're curious what video it is it's this one my most recently released a week let's real quickly compare that that to a short form video this is one the RPM pulled up here and for every th000 views on this short I make 27
long for video and this is actually even pretty good compared to my other ones popular short okay so for every th000 views on this short my most popular one views on this short my most popular one with over 4.4 million views I made 15
actually just reveal how much this video made me this short has 4.5 million views gained me 8.8 th000 subscribers and I only have 30,000 only sorry not only 30,000 that's a lot but 8.8 th000 of those came from this one short and it
made me $657 14 and on this topic let's go over they made me so let's go over my second most popular short this one my first business as a freshman in high school the RPM on this is even worse than the
video we just looked at for every th000 views on this video I made 11 cents that's pretty bad but the video still got 2.8 million views and this one actually a decent amount compared to the other one that got like almost twice as
much views that's crazy half of my channel subscribers came from two shorts but from those views I made $311 57 and I'm going to show you the first let me just show you some of the stats in case you're interested this is
a 59sec short the average view duration was 50 seconds and if we check the reach here the swipe through rate was 77.3% now those numbers have gone down since I not getting pushed anymore but just in case you're curious those are the stats
up the analytics real quick uh in the last 28 days I've gotten 5 million views this up so let's get into the revenue of some of my long form videos I already let's go to my most viewed video most people upload videos that are 8 minutes
because instead of just ads playing at the beginning and end of your video they unfortunate I could have made more money if I just made this video 13 seconds amount of money let's look at our CPM and RPM real quick I'm actually not sure
what it is okay so our CPM is only $957 that's because it is a shorter video obviously not 8 minutes and our RPM is RPM is $446 meaning that from $412,000 views we
$1800 the cool thing about this video is if you could see this graph right here it just keeps growing so this video makes me money every single day I think it was like $3 a day about yeah it depends on the day it makes me about $3
years ago yeah almost 2 years ago December 12th 2022 so it's pretty cool me money even though I uploaded it a while ago but my next most popular video just go over this one and then we'll into how much my entire channel has made
me so far all right I sold chips and candy at school for 1 week 243,000 views gained me 2,000 subscribers and made me $700 I forgot to mention for this video when I first posted them so I didn't get paid for the first bit of views but then
is also a shorter video only 6 minutes and 15 seconds my CPM is $9 and my RPM $287 that's pretty bad this video actually also looks like it's still looks like it's been picking up lately like $2 $3 a day I don't know why I said
not crazy at all anyway you don't care let's get into the entire Revenue first let's go over my last 28 days now I do not really post on YouTube I'm not going to lie I've only been posting once every like 2 months but so far in the past 28
days I've made $344 186 after posting one video uh I've gotten 51,000 views gained 552 subscribers and gotten 2.4 th000 watch that most popular video that is still getting views every day it looks like
I'm making about $112 pretty consistently some days are better like this day $19 or some days are pretty bad like this day $731 uh as you see it has been paying more recently that's because in these last months of the year YouTube
of advertisers trying to advertise stuff for Christmas so ad rates go up so that CPM and RPM I showed you those increase okay so here's my monthly Revenue $253 uh again I'm not really posting that often and a lot of these were
shorts but we can see I've had some bigger months like this right here $457 I posted okay I posted one short one video that didn't do that well so I amount that month but we can see a pretty big uh pretty big month right
here first December the one right by it $414 but there's a few reasons why this month was so big so number one it's November where ad rates are through the lot of money since it's around Christmas time and I started uploading shorts
there I got like 7 million views in a month but in that one month of posting shorts I literally posted as you can see four shorts or three shorts in one long form video and I made almost $1,200 I'm not even joking I put in like no work
shorts are way easier than long form so honestly I don't know if my decision to stop posting shorts was the right one but whatever if we go to my Lifetime on it made me real quick as I showed you before 11.4 million views and it came in
November like most of them on November 18th I got almost a million views in a day so almost a tenth of my entire Channel views in one day 32.2 th000 I gained in that one day where I got almost a million views okay so I gained
2,000 subscribers in one day that's crazy and I promise you I'm going to want to go over how much my Instagram makes me cuz it's actually more than my 8 minutes so I can get mid roll apps don't worry it'll be really quick and
wondering about all this it's because today is actually Halloween I just messed up now because it's the end of the day anyway like I said my Instagram far as like work put into money made the video that I posted right here made me
hour to make basically I send a lot of DMS to Brands and get reached out to by them to either create videoos so they can run as advertisements or to post YouTube shorts you may have seen an ad of mine I've had tons of friends tell me
Snapchat Instagram Tik Tok and even Twitter too and that's really the main really been picking up lately but if you want a more in-depth video about my from it then definitely leave a comment below sorry for taking so long I need to
finally reveal the lifetime earnings of my channel but finally for the reveal my estimated Revenue throughout the lifetime of this channel is 5,5 $551 and that one day where I got almost a million views I made $153 24 and like I
showed you most of those views were from shorts but only $1,400 of the AdSense I've made is from shorts the other 4,000 is from long form videos and here's my doesn't have that many views but it's about day trading so it's going to pay a
are my top paying and how much they paid me so if you found this video button and if you want to see me sell candy at school then you can watch that much for watching I hope you have an amazing day hopefully this video is 8
