This is how much money you can make on YouTube per 1 million views

I’ve been on YouTube for over 10 years, and I’ve been lucky enough to have a few videos hit that 1,000,000 mark. One question I’m constantly asked is how much money I make. Seriously, everyone asks me this. Uber drivers, distant friends, relatives — everyone. For some reason, the etiquette of not prying into one’s finances just does not apply to YouTubers.
Here’s a video I made about “How To Pose in Photos.” When I wrote this, the video had 3,907,000 views. Pretty crazy right? I really did not expect this video to blow up. I made $1,275.99 from the 3,907,000 views on this video — a decent amount of money, but actually very low for YouTube. This video with 3 million views has earned less than some of my videos with 700,000 views.
Normally, I would expect a video with 3,000,000 views to make between $6,000-$15,000. I’ve even had one video with 2,000,000 views make about $40,000.
On average, my videos that have over 1,000,000 views have usually earned between $2,000-$5,000.

If I had to guess, MKBHD probably makes >$1M per year on the low end, but most likely makes much more looking at the car he drives and his studio setup with all the high end gear.
Wasn't there an article last year that talked about how some 7 or 8 year old kid made over $20M just uploading videos of him and his family opening new toys and playing with them? Crazy!
Who knew 10 years ago being a YouTuber could be an actual career path with a few of them hitting celebrity status and becoming millionaires?

I think a lot of it has to do with the time length of the video. With longer videos making significantly more money

Easy money

$6,000-$15,000
Is some content more attractive to ad buyers than others? Who handles the ad buys on the video’s side? The content creator or YouTube/Google?

I don't know why anyone would want to be a youtube star. You're famous, but not rich, which I imagine would be a pretty shitty combo.

Alex Hefner did a video recently showing where he made about $19 on a video with almost 2 million views.

Its much more complicated than the number of views. Youtube uses Google Ads as Youtube is an entity of Google. Businesses pay Google Ads to present their advertisements to users that are most likely to buy their product. For example, if you browsed the web looking for some new shoes, then you may notice shoe advertisements popping up on TD, Facebook, or other websites.
If the Youtube video tags match popular advertisements, then the Youtube creator will receive more money per view as Google Ads place a higher value on the advertisements for the video. If the video content is of something odd or not commonly known, then theoretically there will be less businesses posting Ads of a product related the video, which would devalue the ad space. In this case, Google Ads would most likely resort to showing Ads on the video that are related to your search history than the video topic. For example, if you posted a youtube video talking about TD, its forums, and its users, then Google Ads will struggle to find matching advertisements, as TigerDroppings doesn't market itself in Ads to my knowledge. However, if you mentioned LSU football in the video, title, description, or in its tags, then advertisements by Nike selling official LSU fan gear will most likely appear.
This is a very basic explanation of how online advertisements work. Their algorithms can become quite complicated.

My daughter had a video on youtube w/ Mike the Tiger when he first was out in his habitat that had over 40 million views on the main copy alone.
We got a check for about $400
ETA: I'll probably get a $500 bill from LSU now.

The children YouTube channels are insane, but most of that revenue comes from product placement and sponsorships, not clicks.
