Creators on YouTube often have no idea how much money they will earn off a single video after they upload it to the platform.
While creators with 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours are eligible to have their videos monetized with ads by joining YouTube’s Partner Program, the amount they get paid per thousand views (CPM) can vary wildly. Why is that? The ads that play in their videos are filtered by Google, and how much money a creator earns depends on the video’s watch time, length, video type, and viewer demographics, among other factors.
YouTube star Shelby Church (1.4 million subscribers) told Business Insider that extending her videos to over 10 minutes long helped her channel earn more money because she could place more ads and boost her rate. And some topics, like finance, get a higher rate because the audiences they attract are valuable to advertisers.
Many creators also try to avoid swearing or copyrighted music in their content because those factors can increase a video’s chance of getting flagged by YouTube and demonetized.
So if a creator does everything right in the eyes of YouTube, how much can they expect to make?
Business Insider spoke to eight creators with very different channels and they shared the most amount of money YouTube has paid them for a single video.

“I didn’t keep any of that money,” she said. “I actually threw it all to my student loans.”

Natalie Barbu — $8,000
Natalie Barbu is a 22-year-old social-media influencer and YouTube creator with 227,000 subscribers.
Barbu posts videos twice a week to YouTube about her day-to-day life experiences.
She started her YouTube channel about eight years ago, while she was in high school. She’d post videos talking about fashion and beauty as an after-school hobby, long before she knew she could be earning any money from the platform, she said.
Barbu graduated with an engineering degree from NC State University and said while she was attending college, she began to take her channel more seriously. She would post one video to her channel a week about her college life experiences and what it was like to be a girl studying engineering, she said.
The most amount of money she’s earned from a single YouTube video was around $8,000 from her video on how to start an online store, which has 390,000 views, she told Business Insider in February.

Ruby Asabor — $9,000
Ruby Asabor is a 22-year-old YouTube content creator and motivational speaker.
She has 140,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel, Lavish Ruby, which she started four years ago, and today she has established several revenue streams around her digital business.
She said on average she earns between $2,200 and $2,500 for a every 100,000 views on YouTube.
Asabor’s finance- and business-related videos target an older audience, which is favorable to Google’s advertisers. Her average viewer is someone who cares about financial education and the advertisements that play in her videos will often be for banks or stockbrokers, she said. These advertisers pay more than others because there are fewer videos on YouTube that attract their target audience.
The most she’s earned from a single YouTube video is around $9,000, she told Business Insider in February.

Alyssa Kulani — $23,000
Canadian YouTube creator Alyssa Kulani has 676,000 subscribers.
Kulani, 20, said her first YouTube video was a vlog, which she uploaded to her YouTube channel when she was 13 years old, around 2012. By the time she was in high school, she had around 100,000 subscribers.
Kulani never finished high school, dropping out her senior year, she said. That’s when she began working in retail, and soon after, her friends on YouTube, who had channels of their own, encouraged her to take her channel more seriously because she was “missing out on a huge opportunity.”
In late 2018, YouTube’s algorithm picked up and recommended a video she posted in October of that year titled, “Telling my best friend I like him…*PRANK*,” which prompted the video to go viral and gain 4 million views.
She told Business Insider in November, that she earned $23,000 from that video, and that she continues to make money from it today.

Shelby Church — $30,000
Shelby Church is a YouTube creator with 1.4 million subscribers.
In 2019, Church said she earned around $140,000 from YouTube ads, which is more than double what she made in 2018.
Last year, she realized that if she extended her videos to over 10 minutes, she could include more ads and earn more money. She said she usually includes one pre-roll ad before the video (which is the default on YouTube), and two ads within the video, three or four minutes apart. Her videos are typically about 10 to 12 minutes.
Her video about Amazon FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon) had an unusually high CPM rate, she told Business Insider in January. The video earned her about $30,000 in AdSense revenue from 1.8 million views.

Kevin David — nearly $50,000
Kevin David is a YouTube influencer and entrepreneur with 900,000 subscribers.
David told Business Insider that he’d made as much as $50,000 in Google AdSense revenue from a single YouTube video.
His how-to guide for using Facebook ads made just under $50,000 in Google AdSense revenue, and his “Shopify Tutorial for Beginners” video, which required minimal production because he filmed it using the screen-record feature on his laptop, had made over $40,000, he told Business Insider in August 2019.
David gets the ideas for his content by looking at the Google Ads Keyword Planner to see how often people are searching particular phrases, and at other combinations of video topics and thumbnails that have been successful in view count, he said.
He said he made his Shopify tutorial video while staying in a cheap hostel in Australia, with no camera or equipment.

He posted the video to YouTube in February 2018, and it went viral worldwide six months later, he said.
