YouTube pays creators 55% of long-form ad revenue, so a $20 CPM niche typically lands $8-12 RPM once the cut, ad-blockers and non-monetised views are subtracted. Plan against RPM, never CPM. High RPM + low competition + viral is a unicorn - pick medium RPM with a repeatable format and a consistent upload plan.
| Tier | Countries | CPM | RPM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany | $15-$50 | $8-$25 |
| Tier 2 | Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, UAE | $5-$15 | $2-$8 |
| Tier 3 | Most of Asia, Africa, Latin America | $0.50-$3 | $0.20-$1.50 |
