So how much money do YouTubers make for their videos? I'll show you how much YouTube paid me and several other YouTubers for a video with over 1,000,000 views. (hint: it's all over the place, and the TOP earning video I found is ridiculous). There IS a pattern between those who earn a lot, and the videos that earn a little. See if you can spot the pattern.
Also, I'll be sharing how this money compares to other revenues streams that I have outside of the YouTube space. (9:28)

I wonder if there’s something related to the ad targeting. Like the more specific a video is, the better YouTube can pair a more relevant ad to the video? That may explain why the Facebook Ads video generated so much revenue
Love your background setting! Also thanks for sharing this informative video.๐
Thanks! Brand new, so that means a lot!
I think the revenue issue has to do with the demographics of the viewing audience. Entrepreneur and business based ones have a target audience that probably has a decent income level that advertisers want to get in front of. Compared to the lifestyle or beauty vlogs where the viewer could be a teenager aka not a good target for advertisers due to their lack of income. Lexus would probably get ads for a business video, but they’re not going to target a makeup tutorial etc.
Pat always coming with the ๐ฅ. This is a very interesting analysis and worth looking at more if someone is depending solely on ad revenue for income to rethink doing so.
This was fun. I’m invested in stocks and have had a blast with those.
200+ videos posted on my channel and just 1 video with over 100k views. If this video shows anything is that it takes work and patience.
That was great insight. Thanks for the fantastic video!
I believe on YouTube what matters the most for a video becomes profitable is the quality of the audience watching it and engaging with the ads.
When you talk about business, tools and etc. Google can provide better ads related to those people watching the video, such as online and innovative tools for the professionals.
That’s why YouTube can pay more for video with even fewer views than others.
I think some of the business / product videos will have larger companies requesting their ads be playing during those videos. They will probably want to bid more for ads on there so the creator will get more.
Man you’re really one of the very few YouTubers who actually share something worthy, thank you.
And the reason for the high revenue on the last video can be more no of ads as the video was a really lengthy one, secondly it was about Facebook ads and I think it might be related to the google ads of Facebook itself somehow and skadoosh! There ya have it. But idk that’s just a wild guess lol.
Love from Pakistan. ๐ต๐ฐ
Business, how-to, and finance videos seem to be the biggest earners out there. Thank you for sharing all your streams.
Saw roberto blake retweet this and i had to watch!
This was really helpful!
I knew affiliate marketing was a good idea but compared to ad revenue on youtube… I’ll stick to affiliate marketing
Yeah it’s weird how videos can suddenly go viral…I had it happen recently with a video that I posted 4 years ago all of a sudden went viral and got over 100,000 views out of nowhere!
Smart Smart Smart!!! Comparing Youtube to your other income Streams. This has SPI and Pat’s “Always Honest Transparency” written all over it. #teamflynn for the WIN!
Whaaat? Which video? So weird YouTube, almost feels like gambling lol. Congrats tho!
Thanks Nicholas!
Wasup Lester! Happy New Year’s
Pat! Omg – this was such a fun video! Love your humor so much! Thanks so much for putting this together!!!
Thanks Vicky! Always great to see a comment from you here. Hope the family is well!
*Thanks for sharing this Pat! ๐ I have followed your blog for a while but didn’t know you were on YouTube that long.*
I saw his YouTube post about it and came here!
First off, Iโd like to thank Pat for always being so transparent!
Heโs one of the first entrepreneurs that I started following solely based upon how honest and open he is about this online business world.
And coming from the military to jumping straight into online business and passive income, this was refreshing to hear.
My thoughts on the ad revenue?
The first point I have is that the type of ad revenue that can be sold in the business and entrepreneurship niche is going to be higher than some of the other niches mentioned in this video.
Secondly if the video is much longer, it will allow YouTube to place more ads throughout the video.
Thirdly, the YouTuber with the highest ad revenue possibly set up his monetization in a more optimized way than some of the other examples.
And lastly, and this is just a shot in the dark, itโs possible that YouTube showed advertisers that are paying more per ad to this particular YouTuberโs audience based on some type of algorithm involving the views, his subscribers, the subject matter, niche, and the length.
Peace!
As I was watching this video I was updating all of my Amazon associate links and banners on my website, haha.
Here is why the numbers change so much:
1. Length of video. Does it has ad breaks.
2. Time it released. 4th quarter makes you WAY more.
3. What country is it watched more.
There is no other reasons.
You’re welcome. I can answer this video topic in 1 minute
I was going to say that I thought the most profitable videos were the ones that offered advise that many people could follow with the potential for them to buy something from someone, not necessarily the video creator. TechLead’s numbers don’t seem to fit in that model however. Well a map isn’t the actual terrain and models are never 100% correct. Nice video btw!
You type slow. ๐
Noice!
