Revenue is calculated based on ad views, clicks, and Premium membership watch time. Here’s how it works:
1. Ad Revenue: Creators earn a share of the revenue YouTube makes from ads shown on their videos.
Creators receive 55% of ad revenue, while YouTube retains 45%.
2. CPM (Cost Per Mille): Ad revenue is influenced by CPM, which is the cost advertisers pay for 1,000 ad impressions.
3. YouTube Premium Revenue: Creators earn a portion of the subscription fee based on watch time by Premium users.
Your earnings depend on factors like audience location, engagement, and video length.
