Essential YouTube Monetization Knowledge
RPM vs CPM: What Creators Need to Know
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1000 impressions. RPM is what you actually earn per 1000 views after YouTube's 45% cut. RPM is the more useful metric for creators.
Sponsorship Pricing Guide
Brand deals can dwarf AdSense revenue. A good starting formula: rate = (monthly views / 1000) x RPM x 2-5x multiplier for integration value. Our calculator handles the math for you.
