How much does YouTube pay?
YouTube pays creators through the Partner Program: advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions (CPM), YouTube keeps 45% of ad revenue on long-form videos, and what is left per 1,000 views is your RPM. RPM depends mostly on niche and audience country, which is why finance channels earn several times more per view than gaming channels.
How much is my YouTube channel worth?
Channels that sell are usually valued at roughly 1.8x–3x annual profit, higher for faceless channels with steady views and a production team, lower when the value depends on the creator’s face and voice. Ownership can be moved properly through a YouTube Brand Account. See YouTube channels for sale.
