YouTube recently added ROM to youtube analytics. Any time a new stats metric is add to the system it normally means something big. So today I am going to explain to you What Is RPM? How does RPM affect my/your channel? How to improve RPM? How to increase cpm? and CPM vs RPM. What Is RPM? - RPM is a simple metric that compares your total revenue against your views. It's calculated by multiplying all your revenue reported in YouTube Analytics (including ads, YouTube Premium, Channel Memberships and Super Chat and Super Stickers) by 1,000, and then dividing it by total views in the same time period. RPM means revenue per mille, and tells you how much you earned per thousand views. To calculate your RPM, your estimated revenue is divided by your total views in the same time period. Your estimated revenue includes revenue from ads, YouTube Premium, memberships, Super Chat and Super Stickers. This is the actual revenue that you earned after YouTube's revenue share. Total views is defined as all views, including views that weren't monetised. Because RPM is calculated with your share of the revenue and includes views that weren't monetised, it's typically lower than the playback-based CPM. What is CPM? - Cost per 1000 impressions (CPM) is a metric that represents how much money advertisers are spending to show ads on YouTube. You'll see a few different CPM metrics in YouTube Analytics: CPM: The cost an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions. An ad impression is counted any time that an ad is displayed. Playback-based CPM means effective playback-based cost per mille, and tells you how much advertisers paid per thousand monetised playbacks. To calculate your playback-based CPM, the total revenue from ads is divided by estimated monetized playbacks. An estimated monetized playback happens when a viewer sees at least one ad impression when watching one of your videos. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/startcreatingpodcast/message

How to increase your adsense cpm ads rate and earn more money on YouTube - YouTube adverts can earn you a little extra money on the side, but did you know it can be affected by what you talk about, how many adverts you show and what niche you are in?!  How To Improve YouTube CPM Rate and Make More Money on YouTube Adsense 1 - Evaluate your existing videos - Dive into your channel analytics and look at what currently gets you your best CPM (cost per thousand views). This will help you understand what topics on youtube channel make you the best money and attract the best adverts. You can then double down on those topics, making more of them to boost overall CPM income. 2 -  Make Longer Videos - You can boost your video CPM by adding more adverts into longer videos. Videos over 10 minutes long on YouTube can have adverts at the start, the end and as many as you want in the middle called "mid-rolls". These can help multiply the money you can make from a single video. Imagine you get $5 per 1000 views for 1 advert and you add 4 more, that is 5x$5 so $25 per 1000 views, a huge jump in CPM rate. 3 - Difference Niches Have Different CPM Rates - This is a lesson I learnt myself the hard way. You could have an entertainment channel with a broad audience getting millions of views but if your niche is not advertiser friendly, or is too broad it might have a hugely negative effect on the overall CPM of your content. However, if you target set niches you can boost your income. Business, Money, Entrepreneurship, Real Estate and other "high end" niches attract higher paid adverts and therefore higher CPMs. Kids content, pranks, jokes, etc offer a wider reach but normally means easier to buy ads against as there are so many people making that content and less valuable transactions connected to it. 4 - Stop Swearing! - Yes this myth is true! YouTube will listen and transcribe your content and there is statistics that show your channel and video income can and will be negatively affected by cussing/swearing. When advertisers select what channel "buckets" they want to spend money on, you swearing might make you "less desirable" vs someone who has identical content with more family friendly language in their videos. 5 - Make Money Blogging - If you have your content why not blog those videos onto a website and link that to adsense to maximise the income. I have 500ish videos on my channel and over time I have been slowly adding them to my website blog. This can help build search traffic, drive more people to the video and your channel but also gives you a chance to serve more adverts to the viewers. This means not only can you get in-video adverts but banner ads as well. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/startcreatingpodcast/message
