Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I charge for YouTube sponsorships?

For a standard 60-90s integration, charge $20-$30 CPM (Cost Per Mille/1,000 views) based on your average views. For a dedicated video review, this rate usually doubles or triples ($50+ CPM).

Should YouTube Shorts cost the same as long-form videos?

No. YouTube Shorts are priced similarly to TikToks and typically command 70-80% less than long-form dedicated content, as the conversion rate is generally lower.

How do I price YouTube channel memberships and community posts?

Community posts are often "thrown in" as value-adds, or charged at 10% of a video rate. Channel memberships are rarely sponsored directly, but "Series Sponsorships" (sponsoring a specific recurring show) are a premium upsell.
