RPM vs. CPM
CPM is what advertisers pay for 1,000 ad impressions. RPM is what you actually keep per 1,000 total video views after YouTube takes its 45% platform fee.
Long-form vs Shorts
Long-form videos typically earn between $2.00 to $12.00 RPM depending on niche. YouTube Shorts RPMs are significantly lower, averaging $0.03 to $0.15 per 1,000 views.
Niche Matters
Finance, real estate, and B2B SaaS topics attract higher advertiser bids than general comedy or gaming videos because high-intent viewers have greater commercial value.
