How much money can I make with YouTube in Kenya?

To understand how much YouTube pays in Kenya, you need to understand how AdSense earnings are measured.

How is AdSense earnings on YouTube measured?

AdSense earnings on YouTube are measured by the number of views your videos have. 

The more people who watch your video, the higher it ranks in search results and as a result, you will make more money from YouTube in Kenya. 

AdSense uses RPM to measure how much they will pay you.

What is RPM on YouTube?

RPM stands for revenue per thousand views. This is an important metric to measure the earnings you get from your ads on YouTube. 

RPM rates vary depending on a variety of factors but typically range between Kshs 100 and Kshs 200 per 1000 views if monetizing with AdSense, or up to ten times more than that when promoting other brands in videos (for example clothing companies).

How does RPM work?

RPM simply means how much money can be made every time you get one thousand video views based off ad revenue within YouTube only and not any outside traffic sources such as social media, etc. 

That’s why it’s called “revenue” because there are various types of advertisements you may see playing before or during your video and the more people watch it, which would be your views or audience size in numbers, then there’s a chance for you to generate revenue from that video.

What you don’t know is that RPM varies from industry to industry.

What are some tips for increasing my RPM?

There are several things you can do to increase your RPM, including creating high-quality content, targeting a niche audience, and using relevant keywords in your titles and descriptions. 

Additionally, partners should focus on building relationships with other creators and brands in order to create joint partnerships that will result in higher earning potential.

In addition to AdSense revenue sharing, there is also merchandise available for purchase through YouTube that can help increase ad revenue.

Is there a limit to how much money I can make with YouTube in Kenya?

No! There is no limit to how much money you can make with YouTube. The more videos you create and the more people who watch them, the more money you will earn.

How much does YouTube pay for 1000 views per month?
