Vlogs channels with an audience in Canada earn an RPM of roughly $3.5 to $7.9 per 1,000 views. That is Canada specifically, a high-income market that tracks just under US and UK rates. RPM is what the creator keeps after YouTube's 45% cut and the views that never saw an ad, so it is the only earnings figure that reflects real take-home pay.
At that rate, one million monthly views from Canadian viewers works out to roughly $3,520 to $7,920 (about C$4,800 to C$10,800) per month from ads alone, before any sponsorship or affiliate income.
