Earnings per subscriber
YouTube surely does not pay based on the number of subscribers you have on your channel. Subscribers are people who choose to follow your account so that when you post a video, it will automatically show up on their homepage. Subscribers are important for your channel because they’re the ones who will most likely comment, like, and share your videos with even more people. That means you can gain more views and more YouTube money if you place the right ads on your videos.
Earnings per video?

According to Forbes, a YouTube video with 1,000,000 views can make more than $5,000, which makes being a modern-day influencer a pretty interesting job.

In order to get paid by YouTube, you need to maintain a balance of $100 or more from views. This means you will require to gather 20,000 views if you receive $5 per 1,000 views. YouTube has created a YouTube Partner Program, which allows you to get paid via advertisements on your page. To enrol for the YouTube Partners Program, you must:
- Have at least 1,000 subscribers
- Reach 4,000 valid public watch hours in the past 12 months

Once you’re enrolled in the YouTube Partners Program, you’ll be able to start getting in money through advertisements. This is done in two ways, either cost per click (CPC) or cost per thousand views (CPM). With CPC, you can earn money based on the number of people that click on the ad placed on your page or video, while with CPM, you can earn money based on every 1,000 views you accumulate. However, it’s vital to note that Google will give you 68% of the revenue when displaying ads with AdSense.
