Ever wonder how youtube stars make money?
The main channel (TheOfficialLoganPaul) has over 1.7 million subscribers as of mid-2017 and has accumulated over 80 million views so far. It gets an average of 170,000 views per day. This should generate around $260 per day ($95,000 a year).
The vlogging channel, Logan Paul Vlogs, has over 8 million subscribers growing by over 20,000 new subs daily and has accumulated over 1 billion views so far. This one gets an average of 10 million views per day which should generate an estimated revenue of around $18,000 per day ($6.6 million a year) from ads that appear on the videos.
YouTubers get paid between $2 – $5 per 1000 monetized views after YouTube takes its cut. Monetized views range from 40% – 60% of the total views. All these are influenced by several factors like device played on, the location of the viewer, ad inventory, how many ads there are on a video, how many people skip the ads, ad engagement etc.
There is also a program known as Google Preferred where deep-pocketed companies can target ads on the top 5% most popular content. The ad rates here are higher than normal. Apart from ads, YouTubers also generate extra from YouTube Red viewers who pay a monthly fee to view premium content on YouTube plus watch videos without ads. Here they get paid based on watch time on their videos. The longer the viewers watch their videos, the more money they earn.
Logan makes extra income from his acting career and sponsorship deals. He has appeared in shows like Law & Order, Weird Loners, Stitches, Bizaardvark and Walk the Prank. His web series outside his YouTube channel include Logal Paul vs, and Bad Weather Films. He also sells his merchandise called Maverick Merch on his website.
