which ads pay the most on youtube?

We have gathered some credible income proofs from YouTubers who own small, medium, and big channels to find out what are the most profitable niches.

If you’re planning to start a successful YouTube channel and you’re wondering how much will YouTube pay you for 1,000,000 views, then this is for you.

And in case you wish to start a faceless YouTube Channel instead, read this.

Now before we move on, we would like to clarify some things.

First, there are many ways to make money on YouTube, but for this particular post, we focused primarily on earnings from Google AdSense.

If you’re unfamiliar with Google AdSense, it is an Ad Network that pays YouTubers based on how many times an advertisement is shown – not for video likes or shares, and not based on how many subscribers you have.

In short, all the income snippets YouTubers shared below are from paid advertisements alone.

How it works is advertisers (brands, companies, product owners, etc.) will pay Google to advertise on YouTube, then when Google displays those ads on YouTube Videos, YouTubers (through Google AdSense) will be paid a certain amount per 1,000 ad views (CPM or Cost Per Mille).

CPM in simple words is “How much YouTubers will be paid per 1,000 ad views on their videos”.

To qualify for Google AdSense or “monetize your channel”, you must meet some requirements to become eligible for the YouTube Partner Program which includes:

Second, and most importantly, this post is by no means a conclusive gauge of how much you can earn as a content creator on YouTube.

Instead, you can think of this as a reference on how much is the average CPM for a specific niche based on the data I’ve collected from over 40 YouTubers below.

So without any more delay, here’s our list of the best YouTube niches based on the average CPM from YouTubers in each niche.

There is no such thing as a definitive dollar-to-view ratio rate on YouTube.

The amount you can earn from YouTube varies depending on a variety of things which include:

Your CPM in your niche will also fluctuate throughout the year.

According to YouTubers, the highest CPM is around holidays and at the end of the year when people are usually in a shopping frenzy due to bonuses.

It is also the time advertisers are willing to spend more for advertorial space on your videos.

By the way, shoutout to all YouTubers who are mentioned in this post for sharing their analytics (I know it’s kind of confidential information), and without your input, this post won’t come to life.

Also, if you are a YouTuber and you would like your stats to be added to the tables above, feel free to leave them in the comments.
