How Much Did Youtube Pay Me in 2023

[@dealforbet8888]

This video is so refreshing! It's rare to see a successful KZbinr like Cal being so transparent about his earnings. It's inspiring for aspiring creators and gives us a realistic idea of what goes into making videos. Keep up the great work, Cal!

One of the most down to earth UK KZbinrs out here, and one of the most slept on UK creators. Keep it pushing Cal

[@se4nlewis]

And the hairline

Amen

[@bokko2691]

How does it taste

[@kkrr3677]

Facts love bussin nuts to his vids

[@benrichards7664]

I get it, but 4+ million in the main channel and is easily a UK KZbin legend. Content definitely better but Cal himself has never been underrated

[@jackwilson888]

People saying "it's not that much" gotta remember Cal is still making money from older videos too, they don't just stop earning after being up for a certain amount of time. Looking at social blade as a baseline, Cal got around 100million views on his vids in 2023. Using the average math that he revealed in this vid of around $4750 per million views he easily earned over 400k even after loss. And that's not even taking into account the money from sponsorships. This man is loaded

[@Ary-fz1hj]

not even that but that's just one account, he also has his podcast and the fellas studios

[@jamesnoonan7450]

Too right, dudes bringing in 7 figures comftably a year, I hope he invests it well and grows the Fella's studios. I only realised recently that the Fella's studios are a full-on production company with multiple podcast filming in their building and using their team. Chip needs to stop with the "I'm in my overdraft" bollocks we all know he's loaded 😂

[@ROY-ti5wc]

He only got 27 Million views total in 2023 on his main channel including shorts, so where did you pull 100 Million views from?!? 💀

[@jamesnoonan7450]

@ROY-ti5wc he overstated a fair bit, but cals pulling in 7 figures easily each month

[@MrKiko002]

This is amazing Cal !! Usually a lot smaller KZbinrs do this and show a lot of the profit-loss details but rarely someone that has the views, subscribers, exposure as you !! This was very very motivational and I appreciate the honesty. Love it !!

Lot more common in US to talk about the money side (just from a personal observation), but WillNE just did a similar video to this so maybe that's changing abit

Ain't no way Cal is on a averagish salary. Broski knows the sponsors, investments, merch, and Fellas pod made him a multi millionaire lol

[@UrAveragePlayer0]

You forget older videos still get revenue, he has multiple channels and so on

[@solidcontent1290]

But you need to remember he still gets revenue for the videos he made 5/10 years ago aswell. He also streams, gets sponsors, donations, has multiple channels, feature other videos, merch and has a podcast.

He said it turned his 3k profit into 10k+ so I can’t imagine they are more than 10k per one. It’s a lot but not as much as I would have thought tbh.

[@heyhey3887]

You understand now why KZbinrs have to keep pumping out videos to really make the big money

[@JonnyShapland]

FYI for all of you non creators looking at the payment from KZbin. As a creator myself about 5% of my income comes for the partner program. I don’t exactly know for his niche, but I can imagine each sponsor is dropping 4-5 figures for those videos. So you can 5x those revenue numbers from KZbin on the low end. Don’t be fooled by YT partner program figures haha. Man’s making bread 🥖

Bro how high is your rpm, god damn 😭 good shit man 🙏

[@Lombzi]

43k profit for yourself doesn't really seem like alot tbh after all you had to give out for expenses and salaries. I'm wondering how much sponsorhips pay, how much of these expenses can you write off as a business expense and how much would other channels pay you for being a guest in their video? For example, how much would the Sidemen pay you for appearing in a video?

[@NV-Ducz]

For the brand deals , it’s definitely over double the revenue

[@harrisongreene-q5n]

Rough estimate.. cal told HMRC 33k😂😂

less than I thought not gonna lie thought it was 100k views= 1000

it is with the best cpm - cpm literally determines everything

[@jackwilson888]

It ranges wildly. I have a channel that makes ~£2 per 1000 views but other creators can earn as much as £20+ depending on what niche they're in and how good of a cpm and rpm they have

Love the vid Cal, nice on the transparency.. Could you just indicate roughly how much that sponsor money is, would be nice to know how much those few seconds we skip actually helps you guys out because you can see the relief on your face when you say that video had a sponsor Also, roughly what it costs you annually to have an editing team, all businesses have overheads, just would be cool to know ❤

This certainly came at a surprise for sure. 43k profit is not great tbh. Sponsorships must pay well. I think the next route for KZbinrs is products that they believe in for example what mr beast is doing.

[@callumliles3849]

Great video. Does that not essentially mean though once you've paid your editor, there's no money for you?

[@jackwilson888]

Nah he's earning more than enough to pay the editors etc. This £43,000 is only from vids made this year, not including earnings from all his other vids that still make money

[@Cypnos]

I'd love to see MrBeast do a vid like this considering how big some of his videos are and how many views he gets and I think pretty much every video is sponsored as well across multiple channels (I haven't actually watched his videos from the last couple months so I don't know if every single one is sponsored or not)

[@captain4865]

You can calculate youtubers earnings based on what they are paid per 1000 views. Mr beast probably on the high end cuz of the advertise friendly vid he makes so it would be 7-10$ per 1000. If he makes 10$ per 1000 and he averages 100m per vid that means he gets a million from ad money alone on average
