Haha, well there’s a lot to unpack here, and I must say, it seems like a financial rollercoaster that would give Wall Street a run for its money!

Video mentioned: How much Youtube pays me at 1,000,000 Subscribers
First off, I love how you casually throw around numbers like $900 a day, as if it’s the same as finding spare change in your pocket. It’s like, “Oops, dropped a Benjamin in the couch cushions again.” If I had a dollar for every time that happened, I’d probably have… well, a dollar.
The fluctuation in income is so wild it’s like trying to predict the weather with a dartboard. It’s raining money one day, and the next, it’s just a drizzle. I think SocialBlade’s estimates might as well include a Magic 8 Ball with every account!
I also appreciate how you addressed the elephant in the room – the CPM. It’s like YouTube’s version of a zodiac sign – everyone’s got one, they’re all different, and we’re not entirely sure how they affect our lives. But for some, they seem to be bringing in the big bucks. Talking about $50 CPM like it’s not a big deal, I mean, who needs a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow when you’ve got that kind of magic?!
Ah, 2020, what a year. You say it was “a great year” for you financially, while the rest of us were busy turning our living rooms into offices and learning how sourdough starters work. Your year was raining dollar bills, while most of us were trying to keep the houseplants alive.
It’s a fascinating insight into the world of YouTube and ads, though, to see how even the algorithm gods have favorite child syndrome. Like, “Hmm, today, I choose THIS video to take off!”

In summary, this is a great rollercoaster of a tale: from your humble beginnings earning change that wouldn’t even buy a cup of coffee to raking in the kind of money that could probably buy a coffee plantation! Can’t wait for the sequel, “The Rise of the CPM: Return of the Algorithm Gods.”
Frequently asked questions:
How much YouTube pay for 5 million subscribers?
Yo, if you’re ballin’ with 5 mil subs on YT, peeps usually guess you’re pulling in around 60k a year, if not more. Once you hit that sweet 1 million subs mark, you’re probably stacking five to six figures annually.
What does YouTube pay for 2 million subscribers?
between $20,000 and $50,000 per year
Alright, check this – Forbes spilled the tea that your average YouTuber with 2 mil subs is bagging somewhere between $20k and $50k a year. But some big dogs in this league are raking in way more, with a few even touching 100k or more a year.
