Web Video Report polled a number of online-video outlets, and it seems that $25 CPM (cost per thousand) is the norm, with slight variances based on the quality and “targetability” of the content. After a quick scan, you’ll get insights from the comments by Mike Abundo and Paul Kontonis.
Okay get a coffee and sit down. This is one of my important posts. You’ll learn in this one post more than you learned in that stupid communications major (the sender sends messages, and the receiver receives them). I switched majors the day I realized half of the women in my Freshman 101 communications class…
For weeks I’ve been perplexed by Fred, a squeaky-voice YouTube character played by Lucas Cruikshank (Fred’s real name). He caught my attention when I found him appearing in advertisements on my own videos. Lucas lives with 6 siblings in Nebraska, and has emerged as one of the fastest-growing YouTube personalities.

I could never be in the field of marketing, just thinking about this stuff gives me ulcers.

so we should be averaging $12.50 per thousand views on the the one or two sites that actually pay? makes one wanna start ones own “online video outlet” so one can keep 99% of the ad revenue,and when questioned,call it a “slight variance”. On a lighter note,a great big WTF goes out to a youtuber by the name of “doctorcatsburger” for this video called “go away retard” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5q7FiLNLaY ,I rank his video up there with the “exploding whale” & “snorting sweet tarts” videos which ive been kind enough to share with you all 😉
