4. Dex
Dex has a video on how much money gamers are making on YouTube in 2022. Gaming is often a low RPM niche, but it really depends on the games played. With that said, he has a channel with 87,400 subscribers and shares his earnings with us.
While his video is long and discusses a ton of different topics, he eventually reveals that he earns £2.76 per 1,000 views or $3.55 per 1,000 views.
5. Niki Proshin
Niki Proshin has a channel where he discusses Russia and travels to a slew of locations. He recently broke down his earnings on YouTube for his subscribers, where he explained how he earns his money.
He has 213,000 subscribers and earns $4.37 per 1,000 views on his channel.
Interestingly, he goes through his RPM for different regions, which will show you how the location of your viewers impacts earnings:
If all of Niki’s traffic was from Turkey, he would need to have just under 1.7 million views to earn $1,000 on YouTube.
Advertisers will pay more money to be shown on larger channels, and the earnings can be $1-2 or $30 per 1,000 views for long-form videos. Since these figures are heavily niche- and country-dependent, you’ll need to first work on being accepted to the Partner Program and then build a larger following to hit this milestone.
