What is YouTube CPM?

CPM (Cost Per Mille) means the amount advertisers pay for 1,000 ad impressions on your videos.

Example:
If advertisers spend Rs 5000 for 100,000 ad impressions, your CPM = Rs 50.

But remember — creators don’t get the full CPM. YouTube takes a share, so your actual earnings are lower.

CPM vs RPM (Important)

CPM = What advertisers pay
RPM = What YOU earn per 1,000 views

RPM includes YouTube’s revenue share and non-monetized views, so it is always lower than CPM.

What Affects Your CPM?
Niche (Finance and Tech have higher CPM)
Audience location (US higher than India)
Video length and ad placement
Viewer engagement and watch time
Season (Q4 usually highest CPM)

How to Increase Your CPM:
Target high-paying niches like finance, SaaS, and tech
Create longer videos (8 minutes or more)
Focus on high-retention content
Attract global audience (US, UK)
Keep content advertiser-friendly
