Can you really support yourself full-time by posting videos on YouTube? Let&#8217;s find out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_much_do_YouTubers_make_per_1000_views\">How much do YouTubers make per 1,000 views?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2025\/05\/CR5109_How-much-do-YouTubers-make-per-1000-views__1200x800-780x520.png\" alt=\"youtuber salary per 1000 views\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First things first: the data. YouTubers usually make between 0.1 to 0.3 per view. Which means they make somewhere between $10 &#8211; $30 per 1,000 views.<\/p>\n<p>Notice that we said that&#8217;s how much YouTubes <i>usually <\/i>make.<\/p>\n<p>The amount YouTubers make per 1,000 views really depends on a number of factors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Niche: <\/b>Certain niches attract advertisers who are willing to pay more for ad space, which translates into a higher Revenue Per Mile (RPM &#8211; Mile = 1,000 views)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Audience demographics: <\/b>Viewers from countries like the United States and the UK often get more per view because advertisers are willing to pay more for those audiences.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ad types: <\/b>Some types of ads pay more than others. For example, skippable ads tend to have a higher RPM than non-skippable ones.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Video length: <\/b>Longer videos can include more ads, leading to higher revenue per 1,000 views<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So while 0.1 &#8211; 0.3 per view may be the average, it&#8217;s not uncommon for YouTubers in certain niches with a strong US audience and skippable ads to make closer to $50 per 1,000 views.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_much_does_YouTube_pay_to_creators\">How much does YouTube pay to creators?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you would expect, YouTube takes a substantial chunk of all revenue generated by creator&#8217;s videos. They take 45% and give 55% to the creators.\u00a0 So if a YouTuber generates $10 in revenue for every 1,000 views from ads, YouTube keeps $4.50 and the creator gets $5.50.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Top_3_earning_YouTubers\">Top 3 earning YouTubers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-232444\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2025\/05\/CR5109_Top-3-earning-YouTubers_1200x800-780x520.png\" alt=\"youtuber earnings\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2025\/05\/CR5109_Top-3-earning-YouTubers_1200x800-780x520.png 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2025\/05\/CR5109_Top-3-earning-YouTubers_1200x800-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2025\/05\/CR5109_Top-3-earning-YouTubers_1200x800.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Okay, now that you know how much YouTubers make per 1,000 views, let&#8217;s look at some of the top earners on YouTube.<\/p>\n<h3><b>MrBeast<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>James Stephen Donaldson, aka Mr. Beast, is the top money maker on YouTube by a long shot.

His channel focuses on doing crazy giveaways and putting people<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon for his videos to get more than 50 million views.<\/p>\n<p>So how well does YouTube pay?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re doing the math:<\/p>\n<p>50,000,000 views x 0.3 per view = $1.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a chunk of change to be sure.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Like Nastya<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Anastasia Sergeyevna Radzinskaya, aka Like Nastya, is the star of the very popular YouTube channel Like Nastya Vlog.

The Swedish content creator has over 110 million subscribers and makes an estimated $40 million per year. His channel focuses on gaming commentary and reviews, but he also creates humorous videos on a variety of topics.
