A creator breaks down YouTube money using his own numbers: 240,000 views earned $669, or $2.70 per 1,000 views. He estimates PewDiePie made $35 million from 13 billion lifetime views. He also explains sponsorship deals, including one that offered $400 plus $0.50 per app download, which he rejected because the app was a scam.
What's up guys, today we're going to be talking about— What's up guys, today we're going to be talking about how much money YouTubers make. I see comments about YouTube money all the time and most people have no idea what they're talking about. So the question I see asked the most is, "How much do YouTubers make per view?" Well, instead of just making up a random number, we're actually going to take a look at my analytics. I'm going to pick one day, we're going to see how many views I got and how much money I made off those views. That way you know the numbers I'm telling you are actually real. So I picked a day from last month, and on that day I got 240,000 views and made around $669. Basically, if you do the math, that means every 1,000 views I got around $2.70. So I want you to remember that number, that every 1,000 views is $2.70, because that's not just a number I made up, that's straight out of my analytics, and we're gonna use that to see how much these big YouTubers are making. So if every YouTuber made what I made per 1,000 views, That means in the last 30 days, 9 YouTubers have made over $1 million in just the last 30 days. PewDiePie has 13 billion— billion with a B— views, and if he made $2.70 per 1,000 views, that means over the lifespan of his channel, he's made $35 million. Even better, a channel called Ryan Toy Review has over 6 billion views, which means he's potentially made over $16 $16 million off of reviewing toys. What's up guys, Beast Toy Reviews here, and today we're reviewing this toy karambit. As you'll see, it's, uh, can I just get the $16 million? And guys, it keeps getting better. Most big YouTubers make an additional 6 figures off of brand deals and sponsorships. And to prove that that's true, here's the deal that I was offered. An app which I'm not gonna name offered me $400 to do a video on it, and and then an additional 50 cents for every one of you that downloaded the app. Basically, if I had done a video on that app, I would've got $400, and then lots of you would've downloaded it, probably would've got another like $700, $800, so I easily could've made $1,000 just by doing a video on an app. Now in case you're wondering why I didn't take the deal, well basically I downloaded the app, it's one of those apps where you download other apps, you get points, you trade those points in for gift cards. I downloaded it, I spent hours trying to get points, I could not get enough points for a gift card. To me, the app was just a complete scam. I don't want to scam all the people that watch my videos, so that's why I didn't review it. But, uh, just to put that in perspective, if I could potentially make $1,000 off of one video off of just, you know, the sponsorship or brand deal part of it, think about channels 10 times my size, channels with 1.5 million subscribers, how much these companies would offer them. They would literally toss thousands of dollars at them for just one video. So anyways, I don't want to ramble on too much. If you see a video with 1 million views, they probably made around $2,000. If it had, you know, sponsorship or brand deal or something, they probably made a couple hundred to a couple thousand depending on their size. And yeah, that's the video. Make sure you like, make sure you subscribe. This is an iPad. I just dropped the iPad. Why is the outro not playing? My basement.
