YouTube pays creators via AdSense according to CPM (Cost Per Mille) and RPM (Revenue Per Mille). Actual earnings fluctuate based on viewer location (Tier 1 countries like US, UK, Canada have 3-5x higher CPMs), video length, and seasonal advertiser budgets (Q4 peaks in November/December).
Understanding CPM vs. RPM on YouTube
CPM (Cost Per Mille): The cost advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions before YouTube takes its 45% platform fee.
RPM (Revenue Per Mille): The actual net revenue a creator receives per 1,000 total video views, taking into account ad blocker rates, unmonetized views, and YouTube's share.
