How YouTube AdSense Monetization & CPM Works

YouTube pays video creators through the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) via Google AdSense. Under standard terms, Google takes a 45% cut of gross advertiser spending, while the creator receives the remaining 55% as take-home revenue.

CPM vs RPM Explained

CPM (Cost Per Mille): What advertisers pay for 1,000 ad impressions.
RPM (Revenue Per Mille): The actual net money you pocket for every 1,000 total video views after YouTube's cut.

Highest Paying YouTube Niches

Channels focused on Personal Finance, Real Estate, B2B SaaS, and Web Development earn between \$10 and \$25+ RPM, while general entertainment typically earns between \$2 and \$4 RPM.
