This is a pretty hot and interesting topic, so I'll try to make an objective and well referenced answer.
First, you need to know that YouTubers get paid by Adsense and not YouTube. YouTube is monetized by Adsense.
Adsense basically generated to Google billions of dollars (most of Google's income), it is possibly Google's most valuable asset. Adsense is one heck phenomenal product of artificial intelligence, cannot be cheated and has a complex way of generating ads and paying the publisher or content producer using a CPM formula.
Google says:
There's no precise answer, because your earnings will depend on a number of factors.
Youtube is CPM based:
Cost per mille (CPM), also called cost ‰ and cost per thousand (CPT) (in Latin mille means thousand) stands for cost per 1,000 Impressions.
CPM networks pays for every 1,000 YouTube ad impressions you get.
Source: Cost per mille
If a CPM is $1 then it means that they’re paying you $1 for every 1,000 advertisement impressions you generate.
CPM could be $0.1 or $10, it all depends on the niche you're using (video games, music videos, educational, comedy, etc...).
YouTube's CPM is reported to be on average 7.6$, that means you get paid 7.6$ for each 1,000 views.
Let's do the math in case and calculate the average scenario of 1$ CPM:
1,000 views 1.0$
10,000 views 10.0$
100,000 views 100.0$
1,000,000 views 1000.0$
10,000,000 views 10,000.0$
100,000,000 views 100,000.0$
1,000,000,000 views 1,000,000.0$
Let's do the math in case you're lucky and you got a 7.0$ CPM:
1,000 views 7.0$
10,000 views 70.0$
100,000 views 700.0$
1,000,000 views 7000.0$
10,000,000 views 70,000.0$
100,000,000 views 700,000.0$
1,000,000,000 views 7,000,000.0$
However, there are important points to consider:
-1- Not all videos will show advertisements. Views does not equal ad impressions. Adsense selectively shows moderate advertisements to each user, sometimes there are no advertisers at all.
-2- A huge number of users have ad-blocking extensions installed, that would disable the advertisement and the impression won't be count (but that's only on web browsers).
-3- Half of YouTube views come from mobile devices( Statistics - YouTube). My guess is that most of them use the YouTube app where you can't block advertisements.
Now, still skeptical? Hold on with me I'll show you different real life examples:
Psy - Gangnam Style.
Probably the TOP player on YouTube, Back in 2013 when PSY had reached 1,000,000,000 views he made 7,900,000.0$, his CPM was 7.9$ which is great!

PewDiePie
Disclaimer: Earned extra 1B views when this picture was produced. That makes it 9 billion views.
His net worth is being reported at being $20,000,000 (as of January, 2017). That makes his CPM not bad too.

The list is endless, YouTube graduated a lot of millionaires mostly making junk videos, look for yourself here:
YouTube Stars' Huge Earnings Will Make You Question All Your Life Choices
DisneyCollectorBR which pulls off $23.4 million annually for playing with her children's toys.
How much does Google make?
Not to mention that big winner here is Google, which gives 68% of the income to the publishers (Some people say that in the case of Adsense for YouTube, the percentage is 55%) and keeps 32% for itself. Back to Gangnam Style's example, 7,900,000.0$ was made by PSY and 3,840,000$ was made by Google. And so on...

Do they have to pay a fee?
Heck, no! That's the beauty of YouTube. Google will be able broadcast PBs (1 PB = 1,000TB) of videos a second and no one will pay for anything. (Thanks to the Google Cloud Computing, Hosting Services & APIs). Furthermore, Google drastically and constantly improved YouTube with their elegant HTML5 player, improved video compression and broadcasting and video hosting technologies.
Making money on YouTube is a real thing. YouTube reported that more than one million advertisers are using Google ad platform, YouTube has more than 1 BILLION monthly unique visitors, and over 6 billion hours of video are watched monthly.
Source: Statistics - YouTube
Sure if you're starting your channel in 2015-2016, it will be hard because there is a lot of competition and as you know nothing worth having comes easy; so if you really want to become a YouTube celebrity your channel needs to be special and presenting something original and new (no mimicry). With hard work and determination, it will pay out eventually.
Last note: For YouTube celebrities, they might find other ways to make money, like sponsorship of a particular product, selling fan material, signing a contract with a company, etc... There are endless ways of making money when you're famous.

You'll be rich if you consistently post videos that garner even 50k views. I've seen most of the answers here dealing with AdSense, so I'm going to approach it first from the advertiser's side that directly pays YouTubers to produce content.

How Much do You Pay a YouTuber to Promote Your Product. Obviously this varies widely depending on the YouTuber’s audience and the marketing objective. In general, YouTubers typically charge around $10,000 per 100,000 views. It’s difficult to predict how many views a native video will get, so that is the risk an advertiser takes.

How Much YouTube Pays YouTubers Per View. Once the YouTuber links Google AdSense to their channel, they make 68% of the ad revenue (see Google AdSense Revenue Share). YouTube charges advertisers when a viewer watches 30 seconds or more of the ad, and typically charges around $.18 per view (see How Much Do Ads on YouTube Cost). Only about 15% of viewers will be counted as a “paid view” since many of them skip.

So if you have 1,000 views to your video and 15% actually watch the ad, then you would have 150 paid views. At $.18 per view, this would equate to $27 total charged to the advertiser. As the content creator you get 68% of that, so you would average around $18 per 1,000 views.

Here is it another way:
1,000 views –> 150 views of people completing the ad
$.18 per view x 150 views = $27 charged to advertiser
$27 advertiser charge x 68% revenue share = $18 paid to content creator per 1,000 views

Who are the Top YouTubers? In 2014, the top YouTuber made $4.9 million unboxing toys. Yes that’s right, the whole channel is just her unboxing Disney toys. Her top video, Play Doh Sparkle Princess, has garnered 217 million views. Other examples include PewDiePie, which made $4 million in 2014 and LittleBabyBum, which made $3.5 million. If this makes you question everything you’ve done in your life, you’re not alone.

Should Marketers Pay YouTubers to Make Videos? To say it depends is kind of a cop-out, so I’m going to compare the cost per thousand views to if you just ran an online video ad instead.
Making Videos. From above, you could calculate that to have a YouTuber make a video and post it to their channel you would be paying roughly $10,000 for 100,000 views, which breaks down to $100 per 1,000 views.
Running Video Ads. If you opted to just run an ad on their channel, you would pay $27 per 1,000 views (but only really get 150 completed views). To get 1,000 completed views it would cost $405.

Both are good options. Video is much more visual than any other media so if you’re debating between the two you have a good problem. Having a YouTuber produce a video is comparatively less expensive, but you give up creative control and cannot know how successful the video will be. Also you are limited to just their channel, so you may need to do multiple of these deals. Some of the pros are that you get a customized piece of content that doesn’t feel like an ad, and oftentimes these channels reach audiences that don’t consume general mass media. Paid ads are just that – paid ads, and oftentimes users feel inconvenienced when forced to watch them. However, the targeting is great and can oftentimes tie into your larger marketing strategy.

I wrote a more in-depth article titled
How Much do YouTubers Make?, which also includes my contact information if you have further questions.

Your response is private.
Is this answer still relevant and up to date?
YesNo
So, 3 questions here: How much YouTube pays?, "Do YouTubers have to pay a fee?" and Is it profitable to be a YouTuber? Here are the answers:
YouTube (adSense) will pay a YouTuber, on average, between $0.75 to $2.00* per 1 thousand (mille) views - so as you requested:
  • 50k views: between $ 37.5 to $ 100
  • 100k views: between $ 75 to $ 200
  • 500k views: between $ 375 to $ 1000
  • 1 Million views: between $750 to $ 2000
  • 1.5 Million views: between $ 1125 to $ 3000
I already discounted AdSense's cut (45%) of the average CPM (which is what advertisers will pay for every 'mille' views).
Throughout the year, those values fluctuate considerably: on my own channel, “Geek Detour”, I got paid $ 2.3 for a thousand views on October 2015, and just $ 1.3 on February 2016 - these changes are very normal for all channels (as advertisers have very different budgets allocated for every month).
Since Adsense tries to make the best match between the advertisement and the video's audience, other factors really impact the average of each channel: niche (games, humor, how-to, cars, beauty products, educational, cooking, music...), language/country (the US market is stronger than Brazil's - so, a channel in Brazilian Portuguese almost aways makes less money for the same number of views).
Also, everybody is paying attention to how YouTube Red - the paid subscription service - grows. It pays the same ratio: 55% to the content creator, and it is calculated over the amount of views every video receives from the service subscribers. Interesting reading: Will People Pay for YouTube? After 1 Month, 'Red' Seems to Prove They Will. Check the available locations of YouTube Red.
2nd question: “And do they have to pay a fee?”
No. There are no fees for YouTubers to pay (besides taxes, of course): we are not penalized for success. YouTubers will receive their share equally: 55% of what AdSense gets from monetizing the views, it doesn't matter it if is for 50k views or 10M.
If an YouTuber choses to get associated under a Multi Channel Network (MCN), than everything could be different. MCN's will do what Adsense would: monetize the views - and they have different conditions, share rates, etc.
3rd answer: "How some of these youtubers can afford to rent a studio office to shoot their videos and operate their company?"
YouTubers are only able to make a living by doing much more than relying on advertisement revenue (adSense or MCN's). The big money is NOT on ads.
For example, Unbox Therapy doesn't show any ads - its revenue is totally made by affiliate links, sponsored videos and whatever business arrangements made between the channel and companies willing to have their products displayed on the show.
Famous YouTubers write books (Amazon.com: YouTuber books), make online stores (A loja oficial do canal 5inco minutos), launch beauty productbrands (Beauty Bloggers Launch Their Own Makeup Lines), games(PewDiePie's Legend of the Brofist on Steam) and many other businesses.
Lots of YouTubers are making videos telling "the truth behind being a YouTuber" (search it), revealing how much money they get from AdSense and other deals; and how hard (or easy) it is to make ends meet, pay the bills and rent.
In 2015 Hank Green wrote The $1,000 CPM, explaining a lot behind its Crash Course business, gains and costs, and why they moved to a crowdfunding model, now on Patreon: Support Crash Course creating Smarter People.
What I can tell for myself is: the cost of living of the city you live can make a huge difference! By living in Madrid, my (still shy) AdSense money worth 3 times more than if I was living in San Francisco. My channel is still small and the bills are mostly paid by the iOS apps I make with a dear friend.
Here is an awesome ‘primer’ on "How Much Do YouTubers Make":
Watch me on my YouTube channel: Geek Detour
* I reduced the maximum from $3 to $2 dollars per thousand views - based on the reality observed in 2016. Actually, it is much closer to $1 dollar for most channels. This is just an estimation - can be different on your channel.

How many views does it take to make money on YouTube? This is a common question asked and it really depends on who you ask. You may have heard that you’ll make one dollar per thousand views or that it’s $1,000 per Million Views. Some say it’s $5 per thousand views. Well, we’re asking the wrong question. We should be asking, “How much ENGAGEMENT does it take to make money on YouTube?”
You don’t make money based on the amount of views you have. You make money based on people’s engagement with the ad. Engagement here means clicking or watching a ad for more than 30 seconds. YouTube Advertising is managed in the Adwords platform. Advertisers choose ads on a Cost Per Click (CPC) or Cost Per View (CPV) model.
Types of Ads
Cost Per Click (CPC)
 CPC is when an advertiser pays money based on clicks. So if a certain keyword has a CPC of $3 and someone clicks on that ad, it will charge that advertiser $3. These text ads pop up in the lower part of the screen during the video and can also show up as a square banner on the right side of your channel.
Cost Per View (CPV)
 CPV is when an advertiser pays money based on views. A view for the advertiser means someone watches an Ad for at least 30 seconds or half of the ad; whichever comes first. That person could click that ad 50 times but it still wouldn’t charge the advertiser more because they’re not paying for the click, they’re paying for the view.
TrueView: Pre-Roll, In-Search & In-Display Ads
Pre-Roll Ads are the ads that act as a preview before the video starts and viewers can skip it after 5 seconds.
In-Search Ads show up in the search results and are surrounded by a light yellow box.
In-Display Ads show up on the right side of YouTube in the suggested video area
* There are also third party pre-roll ads that force users to watch for a certain amount of time. Since these forced don’t apply to the majority I’m leaving them out.
Where Attentions Go, Ads Will Flow
Advertisers only pay when someone clicks an ad or watches for 30 seconds. This is why you can’t tie your channel views to dollars. If your video gets ten million views but nobody watches or click the ads, you don’t make any money. This is how I’m able to make $1 per 25 views. Advertisers pay big money to get their ad in front of specific and targeted audience.
One of my YouTube Channels happens to provide valuable video content for this specific audience. This channel teaches business owner how to organize their finances, track their expenses and save money on taxes. Any company who is trying to reach business owners would love to place their ads on my channel because we both share the same demographic. The people who view my channel are their potential customers.
How Can You Make More Money on Your YouTube Channel?
There are a couple of easy steps that you can implement right now that will make you more money per view. The first thing you need to do is…
1. Take a Sniper Approach
Advertisers want targeted YouTube channels with a defined demographic. They’d much rather place their ads on a specific type of person than a random user. Think of this as a narrow sniper approach vs the wide spray of a shotgun.
Make your videos with a specific type of person in mind. This is basic advertising 101; identifying your target demographic. Don’t tell me that your demographics are 21 – 55 year old women. This is the shotgun approach that’s too general and vague. Do you talk to a 21 year old girl the same way you’d talk to a 55 year old lady? Of course not. Define your audience and create videos that’s catered to them.
2. Target KeyWords with a High CPC
Understand this, Certain KeyWords Pay More than Others. Advertisers will pay more for the keyword, “home mortgage” (CPC $17.63) than “cheap phone cases” (CPC $1.38) because the end return is a lot higher. If someone ends up closing on a home loan that could make them upwards of $5,000+, whereas the end return on a cheap phone case would only be $15. Would you rather get paid from a phone case video that gets a million views with a CTR of 0.01% or a home mortgage video that only gets 10,000 views with a CTR of 0.08% ? Consider the scenarios below with the given keywords and their cost per clicks.
Scenario 1 You make a video reviewing the new iPhone that gets 1,000,000 views, of which your ad Click Through Rate (CTR) is 0.1%. Meaning 1,000 people clicked the ad. If the CPC is $1.38 the total advertising dollars made would be $1,380. Google keeps around 45% making your payout $759. This gives you $1 per 1,317 views
Scenario 2 You make a video teaching people about home loans that gets 10,000 views, of which your ad Click Through Rate (CTR) is 0.8%. Meaning 80 people clicked the ad. If the CPC is $17.63 the total advertising dollars the total advertising made would be $1,410. Google keeps around 45% leaving your payout $776. This gives you about $1 per 13 views.
These scenarios are exaggerated to show the point. The money you make on YouTube has more to do with what advertisers pay for than how many views you get.
This knowledge is essential is to make the most amount of money per view. If you have a very targeted niche that contains high CPC keywords, you don’t need millions of views to make money. Getting a couple hundred views a day could bring in a couple hundred bucks a month!
3. Massive Video Production Strategy
One of the biggest complaints I hear about video is that it’s so time consuming. It takes forever just to make one video. I’ve found a solution. I call it the, “Massive Video Production Strategy” This allows you to make the most amount of videos in the least amount of time and work. By using this strategy, I was able to shoot, edit, upload and optimize 30 videos in 9 hours.
There’s a very specific template to follow when creating a YouTube Channel for the purpose of maximizing engagement and making money. This template requires some creative thinking and a little bit of work. Luckily this process is easily repeatable and taught in this video course ebook. If you’re interested, check out our step-by-step Video Course How To Make Money On YouTube
YouTube's CPM is reported to be on average 7.6$, that means you get paid 7.6$ for each 1,000 views.

 Let's do the math in case and calculate the average scenario of 1$ CPM:

 1,000 views 1.0$
 10,000 views 10.0$
 100,000 views 100.0$
 1,000,000 views 1000.0$
 10,000,000 views 10,000.0$
 100,000,000 views 100,000.0$
 1,000,000,000 views 1,000,000.0$

 Let's do the math in case you're lucky and you got a 7.0$ CPM:

 1,000 views 7.0$
 10,000 views 70.0$
 100,000 views 700.0$
 1,000,000 views 7000.0$
 10,000,000 views 70,000.0$
 100,000,000 views 700,000.0$
 1,000,000,000 views 7,000,000.0$

There are some truly expansive numbers behind YouTube. Take the quantity of guests on the site every day, for example. It sits at 30 million. Right around 5 billion recordings are viewed on the gushing site each day and there are 1.3 billion normal YouTube guests around the globe.
Considering each one of those huge numbers, one more inquiry rings a bell. What amount of cash do YouTubers make?
At the point when the video gushing site posted its first video on April 23, 2005 nobody thought it would explode to be as large as it did. Presently the site pays the bills of thousands of vloggers around the globe. What amount would they say they are getting paid however?
All things considered, it relies upon the YouTube channel, what number of endorsers the YouTuber has and what different sponsors they might be working with. By and large YouTubers make somewhere close to $1.50 and $4 for each 1,000 perspectives their channel gets.
For some YouTubers they may post a truly extraordinary hit video one week and the following week's may bomb. It appears that the enchantment number is in the quantity of endorsers you have. In the event that a YouTuber achieves 1 million supporters around 10 percent (100,000) will look at another video when you post it. This practically safeguards the YouTuber gets paid for every video they post.
Also, the subject of the YouTube video can influence the response to "how much cash do YouTubers make." If a YouTuber tends to post on drifting points the rate of supporters perspectives can hop to 30 to 40 percent.
The greater part of this prompts a domino impact of sorts. The more endorsers you have, the more perspectives, the higher your rank on YouTube and the more shots for presentation you have (making the pay you're ready to pull in higher). So how do these YouTubers profit?

YouTube Pay Rate
There are no guarantees under the YouTube partner agreement about how much, or whether, you will be paid.
Earnings are generated based on a share of advertising revenue generated when people view your video – so more views may lead to more revenue.
YouTube Pay Rate Per View
On average, you can earn $.80 according to 1,000 perspectives monetized by banner advertisements, or, $five-$8 consistent with 1,000 views on a video monetized by means of rollout commercials (the advertisements before the video). So, on a video with 1,000,000 views monetized by rollout ads, you can earn $five,000-$eight,000.
Youtube/Google stocks ~45% of their advert sales from the content material with the content material writer. The ad revenue is amassed when a viewer clicks on an ad. that is referred to as price in keeping with click on. Now, CPC can range primarily based at the ad.
you may anticipate an accounting firm to pay a better CPC than a toothbrush business enterprise because their patron Lifetime cost (CLV) is better. Youtube/Google goes to pick the commercials they location based totally on the very best probability of a click. elements that come in to play include the individual viewer and the facts Google has on them, and the subject of the video.

My answer comes from the side of YouTubers. While some say consistent 50k views per video = rich, that's not entirely true.

The reality is that YouTube will adjust your CPM. Jason Alleger is in the ballpark, but it's not exact as far as the take-home of YouTubers. The Play Doh Sparkle video may garner more views, but YouTube doesn't juice that, partially because they can't predict. They may have made a lot of money on that video alone, but their CPM is likely lower -- because YouTube doesn't actually look at straight numbers. They look at engagement.

Their game isn't just to get a lot of views from one. Reason for that is, okay, you have a viral video, everyone watches that, but then the bounce rate is such that you have millions of people going on that video, and then they leave.

That's why PewDiePie is making wayyyyyy more off of YouTube. And he most certainly is. Because his bounce rate is incredibly lower, because he has engagement. People comment, they check out other videos of his, they stay in gaming videos and maybe go to Markiplier. So PDP's CPM is way higher, meaning his per-view worth is way higher than any viral video, because YouTube sees him as a known quantity. Some viral thing comes out of nowhere, they aren't going to magically change the rate to give away more money. Why would they?

They raise the value of views for established, popular and consistent YouTubers like PDP, like Rosanna Pansino, like JennxPenn, because they know that each video is going to bring people back, and they aren't going to LEAVE YouTube afterward. And they don't want those people who strengthen that community to leave.

All this to say -- anyone who has a clear idea of the takehome of a YouTuber doesn't know what they're talking about, really. We can see the silhouette of what it MIGHT look like, but YouTube is aggressively quiet about that and YouTubers are actually barred from giving out that information, lest they lose their channel.

First I want to start off by saying I’m going against your wishes by stating “It Depends”.
Towards the bottom of the post I go into detail on how you can make more money with other revenue streams besides just ads.
Why does it depend?
Because just getting views doesn’t mean you’re getting maximum financial value of that view.
A 5 minute video may only have one ad which means you can only get a maximum of one ad unit viewed.
A 60 minute video can have around 6 ads which means you can have potentially 6 times the ad revenue vs the 5 minute video.
Let’s say you only focus on 5 to 10 minute videos and have average video watch time and average about $3 per thousand views. This equates to:
50K times $3 per thousand = $150
100K times $3 per thousand = $300
500K times $3 per thousand = $1500
1 Million times $3 per thousand = $3,000
1.5 Million times $3 per thousand = $4,500
Now let’s say you focus on longer form videos around 60 minutes with 6 ad units. This theoretically can multiply your earnings per thousand by up to 6. Now in reality, not many people will watch a full 60 minute video but let’s say you average 30% watch time. This means around 2 ad units viewed.
50K times $6 per thousand = $300
100K times $6 per thousand = $600
500K times $6 per thousand = $3000
1 Million times $6 per thousand = $6,000
1.5 Million times $6 per thousand = $9,000
This answer is based on a theoretical $3 to $6 per thousand views. This can vary greatly depending on a lot of factors.
Some videos average less than $2 per thousand views and others get more than $7 per thousand views.
How YouTubers Make Money
There are several ways you can make money on YouTube.
  • YouTube Ads
  • Affiliate Links
  • Fan Funding
  • Sponsored Posts
  • Promotion of your own products & services. Ebooks, WordPress Themes, Consulting etc.
Making money only via YouTube Ads can mean you’re going a very long time without seeing any money. What I recommend is you have multiple revenue streams through your channel.
If you can fully maximize your revenue streams, you can make a substantial amount over what you would get from just ads.
What if you sell EBooks, WordPress Themes or other Digital Product with no inventory?
Now this is ideal. For instance I sell WordPress Themes at $60. It’s a digital sale so there’s no inventory. I create a funnel from all my social media activity back to my website where I make more money from my theme sales than from any ads.
If I depended only on ads, I would be starving. I like to eat so I need to sell my themes and services.
I’m also working on my EBook which will be an added revenue stream. I also build Custom Websites for a price starting at $3,000 which means one deal is currently more valuable to me than the ads.
Note: I’m currently a small YouTuber.
Here’s a Video I created on YouTube SEO
Here’s a Video I created about how to use YouTube and WordPress together.

Hi there.
50.000 views- $68.00 USD - $170.00 USD
100.000 views - $136.00 USD - $340.00 USD
1000000 views - $1,360.00 USD - $3,400.00 USD
How do YouTubers earn money?
The most used and popular method is video monetization. This is when you allow YouTube to put ads before after or during your videos. To do this you have to monetize your channel. Then YouTube checks your channel for several days and if it’s clean of any issues(such as copyright) it starts monetizing your videos. You get money from each view of the ad in your video. the price for the views starts from some cents. So the more views you have the more money you get.For more details on this topic check out this article.

First, you need to know that YouTubers get paid by Adsense and not YouTube. YouTube is monetized by Adsense.
Adsense basically generated to Google billions of dollars (most of Google's income), it is possibly Google's most valuable asset. Adsense is one hell phenomenal product of artificial intelligence, cannot be cheated and has a complex way of generating ads and paying the publisher or content producer using a CPM formula.
There's no precise answer, because your earnings will depend on a number of factors.
Youtube is mainly CPM based.
What is CPM?
Cost per mille (CPM), also called cost ‰ and cost per thousand (CPT) (in Latin mille means thousand) stands for cost per 1,000 Impressions.
CPM networks pays for every 1,000 YouTube ad impressions you get.
If a CPM is $1 then it means that they’re paying you $1 for every 1,000 advertisement impressions you generate.
CPM could be $0.1 or $10, it all depends on the niche you're using (video games, music videos, educational, comedy, etc...).
YouTube's CPM is reported to be on average 7.6$, that means you get paid 7.6$ for each 1,000 views.
Let's do the math in case and calculate the average scenario of 1$ CPM:
1,000 views 1.0$
10,000 views 10.0$
100,000 views 100.0$
1,000,000 views 1000.0$
10,000,000 views 10,000.0$
100,000,000 views 100,000.0$
1,000,000,000 views 1,000,000.0$
Let's do the math in case you're lucky and you got a 5.0$ CPM:
1,000 views 5.0$
10,000 views 50.0$
100,000 views 500.0$
1,000,000 views 5000.0$
10,000,000 views 50,000.0$
100,000,000 views 500,000.0$
1,000,000,000 views 5,000,000.0$
So, this is all depends on many factors to say what will be the earning, with the view!

Well, I can answer this having run my channel since 2010. We currently (3/2017) have 650,000 subscribers at our To 10 List channel, TopTenz. We have 30 videos with over 1 million views and we have found the number of views, over time, doesn’t really change our earnings based on a per view basis. Here is a screen shot of ad impressions.
Once a video hits about 10,000 views it has nearly the same cpm as all the other videos on our channel, unless the content is about topics which YouTube advertisers don’t want to be associated with such as North Korea, Nazis and so on. But that is a topic for another day. And some topics such as Disney pay really well, until Disney IDs your content for copyright and takes all the revenue. ;-)
We don’t pay any fees outside of the revenue split everyone shares with YouTube.
An remember, not every view is monetized. Some people have adblockers or don’t see an ad becasue they stop the video before the ad shows. So your CPM is much lower, maybe half when you consider ALL the views. Notice the graphic show “monetized playbacks” not all playbacks.
Now that you know a little about our channel, come visit: TopTenz

YouTube is a powerful video-sharing platform and provides most effective tools for spreading your video content and ensure worldwide exposure. As a part of Google, YouTube amasses nearly a third of all Internet users in the world, but when it comes to actually making a profit, Youtube comes up short.
If you have some useful educational content (like online courses), it is much more profitable to use VOD (video-on-demand) platforms instead of Youtube.
Generating recurring revenue is more effectively accomplished by uploading your content to a video-on-demand platform, where you can fully control on your video content - here is a comparison of such a platform - Uscreen vs. Youtube:
8 Reasons Why You Should Use a Video-On-Demand Platform and Not YouTube
So, currently, the main pros of VOD platforms business model for videographers vs. Youtube are the following:
  • Content Protection
  • Monetization
  • Customization
  • Branding
  • Content Management
And here is a quick tutorial regarding using a VOD platform together with Youtube (for premium vs. free content on a video channel):

George Chalhoub's answer is spot on; but I'd also like to call to your attention a few of the intricacies of YouTube that go into the "it depends" variable you ask about.
If you have an hour or so to waste, check out GradeAUnderA (1.3 mill subscribers, 73mill views), a British YouTube comic and general clown. His videos started getting popular when he published Girly Drinks vs Manly Drinks and started making money on YouTube. Since then, he has continued to create clownish videos under this moniker and in general bringing us hilarious entertainment value, but along the way, loves to present social debate and commentary to the table every once in a while.
His latest interest, based on the slogan #makeYouTubegreatagain, is based on the current perception that YouTube is allowing a lot of its policies to be violated, leading to the misrepresentation of information and publishing of illegal content, and a lot of YouTubers getting paid when they shouldn't be (and others who should be paid, not being paid)
In Grade's opinion, a lot of these YouTubers shouldn't be getting paid these obscene amounts of money at all.
I think it would be very useful for this question, for you to check out his channel, his explanations for what it means to be paid by YouTube, what work the publishers do, how the pay scale works, and how it's being corrupted today (NB, he's not just ragging on YouTube and some publishers, it's really a call to restorative action).
***Grade cusses a lot; viewer discretion is advised***
Also if you're not interested at all and just want a laugh, he's good for that too:

Youtubers don't startup big, they start small. They record on their mid-range PCs while in their own home. Once they start getting recognized, advertisers start to pay more to display their ads on their video. While there isn't a fixed price, it usually ranges from 0.5~1 dollars (CPM) for new channels, 1~5 dollars for channels with a lot of subscribers and videos with a lot of views, 5~x dollars (where x>5) for channels with millions of subscribers and content with a lot of views.
To answer your question, You can apply the above conditions and make an estimate of how much you can earn.
New Channels:
50K Views= $25~$50
100K Views= $50~$100
500K Views= $250~$500
1M Views= $500~$1000
And so on. I own a YouTube channel and two of my videos got a lot of views. One video got ~17K and earned just $6.5 while the other video got only ~8K views but still generated ~$10.
One point that is to be noted is that the video which earned more, was uploaded after I had uploaded the video with lesser earnings. My channel growth may or may not be a reason, but I am pretty sure that it had played a vital role in increasing the CPM rate!

There is a general lose rule of thumb - $0.05 per view.
However, the amount that YouTubers earn is BARELY anything from what YouTube actually pays them…
Income Sources ( sorted by VALUE):
  1. Sponsored Content
  2. Affiliate Sales
  3. Adsense Revenue
  4. In-Kind Donations(Free Products)
That’s right! Once you have “Social Proof” you will be poached by marketers, DESPERATELY offering to PAY YOU thousands simply to show/talk about their client’s brand for a FEW SECONDS.
Why? It’s called “Influencer Marketing”. It is the HIGHEST ROI (Return on Investment) in the marketing field currently.
This is why you often hear people suggesting that you “Collaborate” with other YouTubers. This is true, and it’s simply because it’s essentially a “Sponsored Content” where you are both sponsoring each other.
HOW TO GAIN SOCIAL PROOF:
  1. Work thousands of hours over a few years to gain 100,000s of subscribers and view count statistics. (The more subscribers/views, the more you can charge)
  2. Spoofing your statistics. Almost EVERY single YouTuber starts out with 10k-100k fake YouTube subscribers. That’s right. It’s OK, its the norm now. You have to out-compete against your competitors.
  3. They are also buying 100s of views onto their videos. Why?
YOUTUBE SEO:
  • YouTube’s Algorithm places Keyword Rich videos *With Lots Of Views* on the TOP of their search results for exact keywords.
  • This is WHY people buy LOTS of views on their *most competitive video*
  • From there, they organically rank, and capture ALL new traffic for their niche.
I’ve got decades of video promotion experience, and about 10 years dedicated entirely to YouTube Growth Hacking.
I also REVIEW the vendors that supply YouTube Growth Hacking services(subscribers/views/likes/shares/upvotes/downvotes). Feel free to read my experiments, trials, and reviews on ALL the suppliers here - Buy YouTube Views Reviews & Top 5 – ViewsReviews if you want more information on this subject.
Also, you can Growth Hack your Twitter in the same way!
I buy the following services from Devumi, and every day get to the TOP of TRENDING HASHTAGS and get seen by thousands. Don’t believe me, I just took a screenshot of my Twitter Analytics and I’ll post it here.
Good luck! Enjoy!

For every 1000 views only about 300 views are monetized. You may get about 300 ad views for every 1000 total views on average.
YouTube pays on average around $0.6 0 for every 1000 ad views, depending on the niche. Keeping the lower payouts in mind.
For every 1000 views a channel typically makes about $.6 x 300 / 1000 = $.18 let's average this to $0.20
When you consider total views they are not ad views. YouTube doesn't pay or charge clients for ads that are closed, skipped, or not displayed.
Keeping numbers conservative. Here are the earnings as follows:
For every 50k views approx $10
For every 100k views approx $20
For every 500k views approx $100
For every 1 mn views approx $200
For every 1.5mn views approx $300
Do they have to pay a fee? No. But taxes are deducted.
Part two of the question is how do they afford to have a studio etc
Views are not the only way to earn revenue.
Meanwhile, content creators make new videos regularly so that brings in additional streams of revenue.
The power of compounding!
Older videos continue to grow, sometimes exponentially and add to the overall revenue per month.
Content creators also partner with brands to create sponsored videos and deals with online retail stores for affiliate marketing.
Channels can also earn revenues from ad clicks from Google AdWords.

Most of the common information is explained in these awesome detailed answers. Two things that I don’t think have been touched on are 2 important factors are the following.
  • That CPM prices fluctuate based on multiple variables.
    • Time of the year(ex: Christmas time it increases)
    • Existence of the channel
    • Genre of the channel
    • Location of the channel
    • Consistency of viewership
    • Consistency of uploads.
    • Approximately 20+ more.
These are all things that alter your CPM price.
  • Content UseriD
This is one of the benefits of joining a network or “MCN”. They’re able to stick up for you in copyright strikes and such.
In some cases the MCNs have the ability to increase the CPM because they’re usually large companies that can influence the CPM.

Hi there.
50.000 views- $70.00 USD - $170.00 USD
100.000 views - $150.00 USD - $350.00 USD
1000000 views - $1,500.00 USD - $3,500.00 USD
How Do YouTubers earn money?
The most popular method is video monetization. This is when you allow YouTube to put ads before after or during your videos. To do this you have to monetize your channel. Then YouTube checks your channel for few days and if it’s clean of any issues (such as copyright) it starts monetizing your videos. You get money from each view of the ad in your video. the price for the views starts from some cents. So the more views you have the more money you get. For more details on this topic check out this article.

On average, about $1 per 1 thousand views. That’s if you a relative unknown on the platform. If you are more we’ll known, you could make anywhere from $10 - $250 per 1k views.
But when a YouTuber is working for a channel, they might have bonuses included that grant them one time chunks of money when the video reaches a certain amount of views.

Some of the answers you have read here are not the best.
I'm guessing those people don’t have their own YouTube channel and they never saw YouTube creator studio dashboard. Here is the screenshot of YouTube earnings per 1k views / per country.
As you can see it depends much on country - if your views are coming from Switzerland you will earn $5.21 per 1k monetized views.
But if your views are coming from Bangladesh you will have $0.24 per 1k monetized views.
Is starting a YouTube channel profitable business?
Sure, it’s like any business. You can make tons of money opening a bar, restaurant, photography business, with Amazon business etc.
But most don’t.
You should know that the Adsense = small potatoes. The pay is horrible, for the same amount of views you can earn 3-4 times more elsewhere. The real money is owning and promoting your own stuff rather than relying on AdSense. You can do affiliate links, product placement…depending on your niche.

It varies. So let me explain.
YouTubers make money based on many things. The most common and easy ones are adsense, and affiliate marketing(usually amazon).
AdSense
Businesses and marketers like me pay google money to show our ads on certain videos. Now, the creator whose video my ad is shown on gets %age of the money I paid to google. However, I will not pay the same amount for a viewer in USA as a viewer in India.
So, depending on where my video is being seen, and if it is monetized, and if the video is deemed monetizable by google, I can get paid anywhere from about $1 for a 1000 views to $6-$10 for a 1000 views.
With that being said, adsense is puny money for most YouTubers.
Affiliate marketing is something that pays much more even with tiny amount of subscribers if done correctly.
Then let’s say I have my own course. And in YouTube land, I get only 5000 views on my video, which is smaller than an ant in 2017. But, if out of those 5000 people, 1% people went and bought my course today, which is valued at $500, I just made $25,000.
However, maybe a few of them did go to my site, but did not buy. however, they opted in to my “FREE” ebook to how I went to over 110,000 Instagram followers in less than 10 months. Well, I can give them value over and over again via e-mail and my blogs(practically free for me to produce).
Maybe 3 months from now, from my FREE e-mail list 10 people think that this Shivam guy is legit, and not a SCAM. Let’s buy his course and see. Tadann..an additional $5000.
So, 5000 views, gave me about $30,000 in revenue over a few months.
Now, If I have 20 videos with 5000 views????? Ever wondered how Tai Lopez made his money?

I've worked with different clients ranging in different amounts of views making different amounts of money.
Recently there have been articles addressing questions like this:
You Can Have Millions Of Subscribers On YouTube—And Still Be Flat Broke
Are The Economics Of Internet Fame Really So Sad? - Tubefilter
But if you want to have fun looking at how much YouTubers make go to YouTube Statistics, Twitch Statistics, Instagram Statistics
And look up different creators and you'll get a good estimate of how much they make. It usually falls in the lower range.
But the math usually comes out to about every 1,000 views equals about $1.39 on average.

Well, George Chalhoub, you re certainly selling the Youtube dream.

However, there are a few more things to consider.

1- You need to reach a certain number of views before being able to display ads -usually around 50k views, with the number of videos uploaded everyday, you might need some SEO and some paid trafic).

2- Not all videos display ads even if the option is on (we can imagine that Google will choose to display ads based on visitors metrics (location, language, age)

3- More and more users are using Adblock and your Video will not trigger ads as well.

4- CPM depends highly on the target audience and competition. Videogames which drain a huge audience will get you more buck per thousand views than music related videos.



In the end, it s more likely that your real CPM will be well below 0.5$ than those shiny figures.

A rough idea of my first video :
Well, the possibilities are literally limitless! There are so many people doing so many things on YouTube right now - which, unfortunately, means there's also tons of competition. So, I'd say it depends on why you want to have a YouTube channel.
If it's just for fun and you don't care about having thousands of views, then use your hobbies, passions and interests - surely there are lots of people that share those with you.
If you want views and want to do something more creative to get them, I'd suggest doing something fun - movie parodies (recreating famous scenes with a humorous twist), prank videos, interviews with random people on the street, that sort of many new innovative things can make your videos viral ..

That actual answer is that "it depends", but that doesn't mean that you can't take a guess.

Monetization of videos on YouTube is done by selling advertisements through AdSense. The AdSense model works by having advertisers specify some information about the target demographic, then bidding for how much they will pay for "impressions" (views of the ad), or "click-throughs" (recorded instances of people clicking on the ad). The model means that the cost of the ad (and the amount that is shared with the YouTuber) will depend on how popular their channels are, the demographics they appeal too, the ad format, and the bids that advertisers put in (which tend to go higher around holidays, etc.).

YouTubers can receive anywhere from about $1 per 1000 views to $15 per 1000 views. The average is reportedly $7.60, but that would generally only be common for people with 10's of thousands of page views. Also, keep in mind that a video view does not equate to an ad impression. It may be that only 80% of the time someone sees your video do they get an ad.

For this reason, most of the popular YouTubers, or ones that serve a particularly lucrative target demographic, have various affiliate agreements or promotional deals with companies that earn them money. Not that it doesn't happen, but it's pretty rare that YouTuber's make much money from advertising monetization of their content.

Also, keep in mind that the "studio" in a YouTube video is just as likely to be a room in the basement of the house, or even a real location that's green-screened in (very easy to do today). A large space and fancy equipment can often replaced by work and know-how.

It all comes down to CPM (cost per thousand views) model of google's Adsense.
Adsense is what Google uses to provide a subtle medium between advertisers and the YouTubers.

CPM ranges between 0.1$ to 10$ with the average at 7.6$

Do bear in mind that this averaged CPM is very high and only consistent
 Youtubers are blessed with CPM near this value and that too if they have a significant amount of subscribers.
It’s a huge range because CPM’s is influenced by many factors,
For example the country of your viewership, device used for viewing your videos, whether they use Adblocking application, etc.... etc.

Considering all of the above, per 1000 views on a video you get paid 7.6$
Applying the basic arithmetic,
For 50k --- 7.6*50 = 380
      100k --- 7.6*100 = 760 and so on

But wait, you don't get an ad on each video you watch on YouTube, do you?
Plus, you obviously do not waste 30sec of your life watching an ad which you could spend on a more lucrative work. So you skip the Ad. Eventually, this affects the no of views also because the money making heads do not count it as a 'view' until an ad is displayed and is watched.

Youtube revenue varies a ton for different people and so does CPM. The average CPM used to be $2,000 dollars per million views. So if someones channel gets 15 mil views that month they make about 30k for the month. Now like you said "it depends" because some make alot more than others. You can check out YouTube Statistics, Twitch Statistics, Instagram Statistics to search for what people make and such.

Short and simple estimate, without an “it depends” (although it does).
50k = $15–$75
100k = $30–150
500k = $150-$900
1M = $300-$1500
1.5M = $450 - $2250
The reason why it depends is not only because the ad rates change, but because of other monetization methods that YouTubers use besides ad revenue (which comes from Google/YouTube). For example, musicians make extra money by placing iTunes links to the song in their music video description. Product reviewers make extra money by placing affiliate links to the product they’re reviewing in the video description. Many creators acquire sponsorships regularly or sell merchandise in their descriptions, cards, and call-to-actions. Multiply this revenue by replicating those methods on their social media platforms and you have several rented studio offices if need be.

It varies greatly anywhere from 5 cents every 1,000 views all the way to $20+ USD depending on the language of your video and the type of content. For a US video in English, such as the ones on my sports YouTube channel one would make about $1 USD per 1,000 views (I make a little more than that for example).
Using that example/estimate:
  • 50k views = $500 USD
  • 100k views = $1,00 USD
  • 500k views = $5,00 USD
  • 1m views = $10,000 USD
  • 1.5m views = $15,000 USD
Videos in India that are not in English might make a lot less, while videos in the UK or US that are about toys might make a whole lot more than $1 per 1,000 views. Hope this was helpful and informative.

Well RiceGum gets 1 million views on average and he showed in one of his videos that he earned $60,000 and that was at his lowest month. FouseyTube earned $2 million dollars last year. So you can see just how much they can make on average per month.

As far as I remember it is possible to know an approximate amount of money, if you google for a site that analyzes blogger (you insert a youtube-channel link) and says how much he\she earns for every made video. If you are interested in making money on Youtube, check this post . And I’d recommend using the recommendations and tips Youtube makers share, but trust me - even if they disclose their secrets of success, it doesn’t mean it will work for you.

One greatly overlooked feature of Youtube monetization is length of video. The longer the video, the more ad breaks you can put, though you don’t want to overwhelm the content with ads.
George Chalhoub and Kong (CEO of Jumpcut) are right. It is true that for a typical video under 10 min long where you cannot add ad breaks beyond the default, you are are looking at about 50 to 100 dollars per 100k views depending on your CPM.
However, it changes once your video is beyond 10min long. I have several videos on Youtube that are about 45 min to an hour. 35 to 40k views, roughly, get me to $100 in payouts for each video, whilst 5 min clips need about 100 to 120k views.

Here is my guess.
you get around 1$ or 3$ per 1000 views.
but youtube says that the top 1% of youtube channels with highest subscribers will get premium ads. Thus, they obviously get more money.

 To get money, you have to do partnership with youtube so they can put ads in your video. BUT, THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS TOO. This changes the game a little bit. If you got a good amount of viewers and subscribers, say 5000 subscribers, you can do partnership with other paying partners who may pay more for ads in your video and also advertise YOU. One of the most famous INDIAN partner is Culture Machine(Being indian is also partnered with it). You can change partnerships anytime unless there is a contract.

so, literally nobody can tell how much they earn.
But i hope that helps

Firstly, they don't get paid over the number of views they are getting not also on the number of likes, they get paid only because the number of advertisement that plays before or between the video and it also depends on how much time duration is the advert is. finally, however it is linked through the nber of views because the morw people opens the video the more advert will play. As simple as that. :)

The rough estimate per thousand views is around the $1 mark - therefore a video with 1.5m views would earn approximately $1,500 - however a network may take a split of the revenue - I’m with MGN and they take a 40% split - considering the amount of resources I receive in return though, it is a pretty good deal.
Edit: Just realised that this could be advertising… I'm not trying to, I swear!

Youtubers usually earn around 1 to 5 dollars for every thousand views, so if they were to have a video that gets 500,000 views, a safe estimate is anywhere between $500 and $2,500. However, they make a lot of money elsewhere, through ad deals with companies like Audible or Lynda.com. Many of them also have merchandise that they sell, so while we can approximate what they earn based off of YouTube alone, we can't guess what they earn overall.

A big concept you are missing out on is Multiple Streams of Income. The income from the youtube channel itself is only a small part of the revenue that Youtube personalities most likely receive. Other (and potentially more profitable) opportunities can come from sponsored content, premium content, merchandise, public appearances, and large partnerships.

Hands up if you like free money?

Just a note to add to some of the answers already here than many marketers use Youtube videos to drive traffic back to their personal website which may sell various products, offer a membership program with a monthly or yearly fee etc.  They make also have affiliate offers on their website as well as their own physical or digital products.

So they make some money from their Youtube videos, and more money from their core business / website where they sell their main products.

Generally, if they would only make money through monetizing the videos aka having ads displayed you can write the nr of views, take three zeros off and that would be aproximately the dollar. So for 1000 views you would be at about 1 Dollar, for 10000 views you would be at about 10 Dollars and so on.
And although you don’t want to hear “it depends” it does depend on a lot more than that. Because it depends if people click the ads / view the full ad when it is a clip.
And it also depends if they have other deals than just monetization. For example a lot of big youtubers are being sponsored. You know like the ones talking about audible(.)com and so on. The fact that they advertise this in their videos, mentioning / displaying a product as per their contract with that company, will earn them more as well. Plus some have kickstarters or patreon or appearences on shows or they do speeches etc. All these things factor in. So very sorry but the answer is really not as simple as you would like it.

Real numbers on a sampling of my videos (rounded to make it easy):
  • 1.2M views: $10,000
  • 700k views: $5,000
  • 400k views: $1,200
  • 350k views: $2,000
  • 16k views: $18
  • 15k views: $23
  • 232k views: $500
I do pay a “fee” in that the numbers above are only my share - 50% of the actual ad revenue. Youtube gets 50% for providing the infrastructure, ad sales team, etc.
But it’s not a free ride for sure…
Deduct 50% if you’re a part of a network (I’m not, whew)
Take away 40% for taxes 50+% for taxes if you live in CA (which is why I left CA…got tired of paying for all the free govt programs… Things like neighbors living in nicer houses than mine getting $900/mo in food stamps on my dime not because they need it, but because they’re allowed to, anyway back to the point)
As you’ll notice, the $-per-view varies a lot. In general, supply and demand has a lot to do with it.
Videos that do well are the ones where the most advertisers are vying for ad space:
  • which means that ads will run more often
  • and also means that ad price will likely be higher
How much a video earns also depends on the type of video. A video on socks with lots of views probably doesn’t have the same advertising demand as a video on say iPhone reviews, where advertisers have a lot more to financially gain by getting exposure to the audience and will therefore pay more per 1,000 ad views.

I love everyone has share such useful information.

I have been working with a creator who has a 3 yrs running LGBT webseries averaging 500k views per month. He used to make upwards of $1000 a month when he started and in the last year I have seen his CPM go down to last month 500, 567k views he made approximately $120.00. Any suggestion on why that my be if his audience is still strong and engaged with him?

I have heard this from numerous creators who have started looking for alternative video platforms to move their audience on to and I would love to hear what some of you have to say. The revenue on YT has been declining and making good money on the platform is shift in the wrong direction.

YouTubers get paid by Adsense and not YouTube.
you would be paying roughly $10,000 for 100,000 views, which breaks down to $100 per 1,000 views. Running Video Ads.

It's being said that you can live from your YouTube money with about 1 million views per month. Depending on how many videos you upload and how active your subscribers are, it can be between 500k subs with 4 videos a month and 100k subs with a video a day because usually only about 1/3 of the subscribers actually watch videos regularly

So you can calculate: When 1mio. views equals about 1500€, 1k views isobviously means 1.5€ .

Amount of subs ÷ rate of views per sub (you get what I'm trying to say) x amount of videos per month ÷ 1000 x1,5€

Or simply:

Views per month ÷ 1000 x 1.5€

But that depends on the contract you have with the company that you run the ads for, without ads: No money. Except for affiliate links, product placement etc

First of all, before you really start to collect views frequently in a high level, stop to think only about them. It is the work that should be interesting for the audience. Before this is not the case, the views will also stay low.
But I would set a minimum number like 1$ per 1000 views.
It can get bigger, but it depends on your viewer and how active they are on your content. Do you get more subscriber every day…. how do people share your content ( do many people come from different platforms, then your content does seem to be liked by a big audience.

Roughly 1$ per 1000 views, so someone getting 1.5m views per month will earn about 1500$ of ad-revenue. Generally YouTubers tend to have other types of income as well, such as donations, Patreon, deals with companies and merchandise.

A few other people have already given estimates of earnings at the view levels you indicated in the question. The real earnings, well, it depends. A big factor is how much advertisers are willing to pay for views on certain videos. Some videos talk about products that are worth a lot of money while other videos don’t really talk about any products at all.
Due to this, there are Youtubers who make more money than people who get more views than them solely based on the fact that they’re creating content that drive sales to advertisers. If you’re looking to increase your views on Youtube, here’s a great course to help you do that even if you don’t want to create your own videos.
Most Youtubers make money through Adsense which works on a bidding system. Different topics pay differently. If you’re an advertiser who is selling a product or service that costs hundreds of dollars, you’re likely willing to pay more for each view/click than the company selling $1 products. There’s also sponsors and endorsements to take into consideration as well as side projects and opportunities some Youtubers have due to their amount of subscribers.
Putting all of that aside, in general, the more views you get, the more you can make and the course mentioned above can help get you a lot more views.

To start earning money from youtube,you need to participate in youtube parternship program and then you are eligible to monetize your videos.Many people are confused how does this works, and hence some of them think that one can earn through the number of subscribers he has, or it is the likes/dislikes that matter?Well the thing that matters is VIEWS and to be precise ads displayed on your videos.More number OF VIEWS ,more ads shown and hence more money!
Generally you get 1$ per 1000 monetized views in countries like India and other such countries in Asia.This fluctuates around the globe starting from 1$ uptil 10 $ per 1000 monetized .
To know exactly how much you can earn or how much do your favourite youtubers earn watch this awesome video on How much YOUTUBE pay for 1000 VIEWS ? -

My channel is newer and I have under 1000 subscribers and get about 1000–2000 views a day. I have made about 600$ for 500k views and usually get less than a dollar per 1000 views, but occasionally it will get 2 or 3$ in a day. But the views perpetually go up as time goes on and it’s helpful for my students. https://www.youtube.com/user/APp...

As someone who has done youtube personally, if you’re an english youtuber you should expect to gain quite a large range - mine was about $1.20-$1.70 per 1000 views. This was likely because I had an audience of 10–14 year olds, so not advertisers don’t make much money out of them. Although in contrast, they were mainly from USA and UK, so in comparison to other people here saying they’re making $5/per thousand views is quite surprising.
So it will depend on demographics, geographics, and most importantly, how targeted the ad is to the people watching.
The amount you make depends on the viewers’ country - the richer your viewers’ country (so USA e.g.) the more money you’ll make, in comparison to South America Spanish speakers, you might get $0.70 per 1000 views or so.
I got about $1.40 per 1000 views with a USA/english teenage audience. With about 3k views a day.
EDIT: After writing this, I realised that everyone else who replied is talking in CPM. This isn’t the actual amount youtubers make. I was talking ACTUAL earnings. CPM is what you make per 1000 monentised views, although usually about 50/1000 are going to be monentized, so actual earnings are considerably lower (hence my answer’s logic!)

it depend with niche, country and advertiser! if your video have expensive niche, e.g forex, stock, insurance, or something like that, you can make decent income without to many view! but most of standar video usually get decent, from 1000 view, 5%-10% wil watch your video, maybe a half of them skip the ads! so from 1k view, you get 50 paid view! and the price it will depend on 3 factor, niche, country and advertiser competition! if all perfect, you can get  up to $7-$100

lets say gangnam style, if I were broker company I will not put my ads in that kind of video! but if your video about trading strategy or stuff like that, I migh be interested!  so the conclution is, it will depend on what kind of video that you have! but if you just want to make some fun, like gangnam, maybe $7 per 1k view

The key is to have many subscribers. More subscribers = more money and more possibilities to make a deal with some companies. The most famous Youtube channels have millions of subscribers and their videos can be seen by million of people. (Live subscriber count)

Best you can hope for is $1 per 1000 views on Adsense. Youtube have also changed the way they register views, so you need to watch a good portion of the video to count.

While I have used YouTube for a variety of reasons - to learn how to fix a car to build a retaining wall, I must say that it is a devious business. It does not pay out well at all for musicians and has literally destroyed the music publishing industry.
There are zillions of videos on YouTube that YouTube knows contain copyrighted material and that is not parody that YouTube continues to profit from. I would wager that YouTube would not have got off the ground if it were not for such thievery.
I have songs that fans have put on YouTube that have 500,000 views for each one and we have made nothing. When it was monetized it was paid $3.43 per 100,00 views. What a joke! The problem with YouTube is that it is not how much money you can make from it, but that it takes an extraordinary amount of energy to NOT have your content on it.
The reason for this bad joke is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. Just thing of what the Internets looked like in 1998! This has sold out the works of musicians to the uber-rich and techies of Google and the likes who profit from the work of creators and then Google plays dumb. They have the technology to know what is on there videos in terms of music, but profit by the billions from it and then latch on to an 18 year old law that says you have to request take down notices. Creators should not have to make take down notices for hundreds of videos.
So here is my answer to the question. How much do you actually make from 100,000 views. $3.46.

It's not about the money. Make YouTube videos because you enjoy it. I know you don't want to hear “"it depends” but you give broad estimations. Go on StatSheep or Socialblade to find the numbers on earning by looking up channels who get those kind of views!

Well, a Youtuber makes a dollar on average every thousand views (with Youtube’s cut taken). 50k would make 50 dollars, 100k would make 100 dollars, 500k would make 500 dollars, 1 mil would make 1k dollars, 1.5 mil would make 1.5k dollars.

Hi…..
a Click here and there and impressions plus views, on average YouTube pay you around $1.50 per 1000 views. That I tested over the last three months. It also depends on where you live. So you can make a pretty penny out of YouTube if you have decent traffic to your video.

How North Korea is hacking companies and governments

-
The U.S. government has revealed new details about two viruses it says North Korea is using to attack companies and governments. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI issued joint alerts on Tuesday warning about two types of malware, or malicious software, that North Korean hackers are   allegedly using against firms across industries such as aviation, finance, telecoms and media. Related: Russia just gave North Korea's internet a big boost One of them, known as FALLCHILL, has likely been in use since 2016 and allows hackers to monitor and control infected computers remotely. It typically spreads through files dropped by other malware or when users inadvertently download it by visiting websites that are already infected. It also uses multiple layers of "proxy malware," according to the DHS and FBI, that allow it to disguise its origin and make the hackers harder to trace. The other type of malware, Volgmer, infects computers through a techni
