You have created a YouTube channel and the million dollar question has arisen, “how much does YouTube pay for video?”.

The truth is that there is no exact way to know how much you can earn on YouTube for each video you upload.

  • The type of content.

Brands will look for videos that are focused on selling products in order to advertise their own products.

For instance, if you make a video with a ranking of the best microphones to stream, microphone brands may want to place an ad of their product in your video. 

  • The audience to which it is addressed.

In the same way that product content is aimed at an adult audience with the possibility of acquiring it, a video for children is not so attractive to brands.

Videos targeted towards children maybe less interesting to brands who are focused on a specific sector and they won’t be likely to advertise.
