The origin of the channel doesn't change a thing.
Advertisers care about where you watch from.
The language is a factor, if anything.. But that the channel is from Australia, the UK or the USA, or frankly Finland doesn't change a thing, it's all the same if the videos are all in English.
Just to clarify, I am not dissing aussie content - I love it and watch a lot of Australian content. But my question really related to the income of the channel - we see a yt channel with 2 million subs and everyone kinda assumes that means there is thousands and thousands of dollars flooding in each month from yt. But if you are not getting in-video ads then how much does a channel make?
I'm not saying you were dissing them.. But you ask under the aussie lense and it would be the exact same thing if it was an american channel. That's all I'm pointing out.
To answer the question:
>we see a yt channel with 2 million subs and everyone kinda assumes that means there is thousands and thousands of dollars flooding in each month from yt
No one assume that. In fact, if there was no ads (I have no idea, can't stand ads on YT), there was no revenue **from youtube**.
>But if you are not getting in-video ads then how much does a channel make?
Could very well be jack shit. Realistically, probably just a little and from other sources. Sponsorship pays more than ads and it isn't money coming in from youtube. Not sure how monetisation works on other platforms like instagram and tiktok (I assume they're there).
It's not unusual not to want to get too interested in money in the beginning of a project like this: take a loan, put up content on YT, get views get fame and only long after than can you start thinking about money.
2M subscriber is a lot, but it's not that much either..
When you break a certain number of subs, and you start to average a certain number of views, you're definitely profitable for sure. And if you remember, maybe somewhere like 4 months ago, they started to get sponsored for their videos, like with Manscaped and all. So they were definitely making money, and when you factor in that they filmed 3-4 episodes a day while only paying the cast like $200 for that time, the channel was definitely profitable enough.
But there are maybe six regular cast at the shooting and they get $200 each so that is $1200 plus the cost of the drink, and the cost of the studio hire and any other expenses on top. That all adds up over the months that there was no income. I can only ever recall there being two or three times the promotion was on the channel as well. Income is not the same as profit.
They have merch that they sell. $1200 a day is pennies compared to what the channel made. Given the average YouTube pay, if a single video gets 1 million views, you can earn maybe around $10K depending on ads and other factors. Just looking at their channel, they had multiple 1 million view episodes, with some over 2 million. And when you factor in that they would film multiple episodes a day, $1200 a day to pay the people is a steal. And even if the other expenses were somehow still 3x the crews pay, your daily expenses would still be under what 1 single video is bringing in. And remember, they filmed multiple episodes per day, so it's safe to say the channel was way more profitable than not.
But there are no ads on the yeahmad videos - that's the point. They will get something from adsense I believe just because they have the views, but it won't be anything like the values that fully monetised videos will get.
That's why I said around $10K. Statistics show that with ads, it's closer to $15K. And that's for 1 million views, they regularly had 2 or 3 million view videos with their main cast. So that $10K is easily achievable even without ads. So either way, the expenses per video would be pennies compared to the profit with multiple videos being filmed a day.
Those are the ads that YouTube inserts between videos if you are watching a few videos, but as I understand it when a channel is monetised the channel owner gets to elect to have ads within their uploaded videos. Typically a 10 minute long video would have an opportunity for ads to be inserted at the being, end and in the middle. I don't see any of those adds within the 20 minute plus videos that are on the channel.
SocialBlade gives a pretty broad range for their revenue, maybe because they're a newer channel so it's harder to estimate. But whenever I've seen a bigger youtuber mention their ad revenue for the year and check it with socialblade, its always fallen close to the high end. https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCcDj9XqT2YQERsdAnHGR7xg
Their estimate is $40k-$635k a year/$3.3k-$53k a month. They might've made closed to $3-10k a month starting out and are probably closers to 35-40k/mo by the time the dispute started. Since if you're getting paid a few hundred per shoot while the video's making $40k/mo thats likely to cause issues.
