03:05[00:00] many new content creators are in danger
[00:02] because they still have no idea how
[00:05] YouTube CPM works if you happen to be
[00:07] one of these content creators I'm
[00:09] talking about then today you have
[00:11] clicked on the Right video in today's
[00:12] video I will be explaining everything
[00:14] you need to know about both YouTube CPM
[00:17] and also YouTube RPM so with the
[00:20] knowledge I am giving you today by the
[00:22] end of this video you will understand
[00:24] how YouTube CPM works and how you can
[00:27] increase your YouTube CPM so then you
[00:29] can start earning more revenue on your
[00:31] video so let's get straight into it and
[00:34] let's start by defining what even is
[00:36] YouTube CPM YouTube CPM stands for cost
[00:39] per mile or cost per meal this is the
[00:42] amount of Revenue that an Advertiser
[00:44] pays to place an ad or adverts on your
[00:48] videos per 1000 views so let's just say
[00:51] this for example if your CPM is 12 this
[00:54] means for every 1 000 times an ad is
[00:57] shown on your video an Advertiser will
[00:59] pay pay you twelve dollars just to be
[01:02] placed in your video or in front of your
[01:04] audience but here is the issue if your
[01:07] CPM is twelve dollars the truth is that
[01:09] that twelve dollars isn't even the
[01:11] revenue that you're going to get to keep
[01:13] as a Creator the CPM is the amount that
[01:16] your channel makes before the YouTube 45
[01:18] split so after YouTube takes their cut
[01:21] what is then left is what we call RPM
[01:25] now the RPM is the amount of Revenue
[01:27] that the Creator is given to take home
[01:29] so now that we know the difference
[01:31] between YouTube CPM and also YouTube RPM
[01:35] it's now time to talk about a few ways
[01:37] that you can start increasing your
[01:39] YouTube CPM so that you can start seeing
[01:42] more AdSense revenue for your videos on
[01:44] YouTube if you truly want to boost your
[01:46] CPM it's all about the wording and also
[01:49] the topics of your videos each and every
[01:51] Niche can be very different when it
[01:53] comes down to the CPM the CPM is
[01:56] completely different on a gaming channel
[01:58] compared to a channel that's actually
[02:00] talking about business or making money
[02:02] online advertisers are willing to spend
[02:05] even more money on ads when they're
[02:07] confident that their ads will be placed
[02:09] in front of their target audience these
[02:11] advertisers are targeting adults or
[02:13] young adults that have a little bit of
[02:15] money to spend now I'm sure that most of
[02:17] us can agree to this but it wouldn't be
[02:19] that wise of a decision for an
[02:21] Advertiser to place an ad trying to sell
[02:23] a car on a fortnight video that
[02:26] Advertiser would pay so much more money
[02:28] to have that same exact ad placed on an
[02:31] automotive video teaching someone how to
[02:33] fix a problem with their vehicle so if a
[02:35] lot of people haven't caught on so far
[02:37] your Niche is super important when
[02:39] you're thinking about really cashing out
[02:41] with your YouTube AdSense earnings
[02:44] another thing that you can do to
[02:45] increase your CPM and also your overall
[02:48] AdSense revenue is simply post more
[02:51] videos with even more opportunities to
[02:54] be seen and even more ads placed in
[02:56] front of your viewers it only makes
[02:58] sense that by uploading more you can
[03:00] start to see an increase in your Revenue
[03:02] but you have to always remember that as
[03:05] long as your YouTube videos are over
[03:07] eight minutes long as a monetized
[03:09] content creator this will allow you to
[03:11] place as many mid-roll ads as you wish
[03:14] this is just another great practice to
[03:16] do when your goal is to increase your
[03:18] AdSense Revenue here on YouTube and one
