Vlogs channels with an audience in the United Kingdom earn an RPM of roughly $3.6 to $8.1 per 1,000 views. That is the United Kingdom specifically, a mature, high-spend ad market that pays only a little below the US. 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 British viewers works out to roughly $3,600 to $8,100 (about £2,800 to £6,400) per month from ads alone, before any sponsorship or affiliate income.
