FAQ
RPM vs CPM?
CPM is what advertisers pay. RPM is what YOU keep (after YouTube's cut).
Why is my RPM low?
Short videos, low viewer geography rates, or non-advertiser-friendly content.
Does Shorts RPM differ?
Yes, Shorts RPM is significantly lower ($0.01-$0.06) than long-form.
How to increase RPM?
Make longer videos (mid-rolls) and target high-paying keywords.
Is RPM constant?
No, it fluctuates seasonally (Q4 is highest).
Conclusion
RPM is the most holistic metric for creators because it accounts for all revenue sources and unmonetized views. Focusing on high-value niches (Finance, Tech) usually yields a higher RPM than entertainment.
