How Does YouTube's Ad Revenue Sharing Work?
YouTube's Partner Program (YPP) allows creators to monetize their videos with ads. Advertisers pay YouTube to display ads on videos, and YouTube shares the revenue with creators. The amount of money creators earn per ad depends on several factors.
- Cost Per Click (CPC): Advertisers pay for each ad click.
- Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM): Advertisers pay for every 1,000 ad views.
- Ad viewability and engagement.
- Niche and audience demographics.
