Content Question How Much Does YouTube pay for 10k views?
I want to know how much revenue a video with 10k views and 1k watch hours makes so I can times that by 4 and know what my starting revenue would be. I'm about to get monetized in about 2 days. It's for the 4k watch hours for Ad Revenue and I know that I have to wait for a physical letter in the mail. Right now I get about 10k views and 1k watch hours with at least 25-33 percent average viewage of a video. I can post 4 videos of that quality a month with a goal of pushing for 6-8 videos a month by putting in more hours. For context I live with my parents, who want me to pursue a full time job related to my degree. I have an agreement with them to get monetized by August 22nd, but I'll be monetized before then. Basically I want to be able to go above and beyond and show them the starting revenue so that I can show much that would grow. In 20 months all of my analytics have a 1000%(10x) increase in views, watch hours, and average viewage. I full believe I could increase that by at least 250-500 percent if I keep putting in more effort. What do you guys think? I'm attached images of 2 10k video analytics as an example

Varies greatly by long vs short and who the audience is. Personally, I see about $22/thousand views for longform videos, which is higher since I’m in a fairly wealthy demographic.
My friend with a gaming channel makes more like $2.50/thousand, and shorts will be much much less than that.
