In all the conversations happening around me Shannon Sharpe’s January 3rd “Club Shay Shay” Podcast (with Katt Williams) is a topic that many aspiring YouTubers want to know about. Exactly how much does Sharp get paid for this work? In an interview, “Around the world?”
As of this writing Saturday morning, The interview has been viewed 55 million times. For context, the second most viewed Club Shay Shay interview was with Steve Harvey from last spring, with 10 million views. It didn’t include any of the many interviews with famous people in the history of podcasts. First episode will air in September 2020 — Come closer.
When Sharp spoke with us on WednesdayWilliams’ interview had yet to reach 54 million views, which meant it gained over 1 million more views in three days. week After falling. We may need to redefine “virus” to take this into account.
How do YouTubers get paid?
as much as young people Aiming to become a professional YouTuber, That’s no mean feat. You need millions of views to make a living. YouTube won’t start cutting checks until you consistently churn out videos that get at least 100,000 views.
From there, it’s a matter of luck and finding your niche, so you’ll have to get creative if you want to get within striking distance of Mr. Beast, a 25-year-old guy from North Carolina. worth more than $50 million Thanks to the fact that I saved about 35 items. a billion Since we started in 2012, the number of plays has increased (it also helps that it has great production values).
Only YouTube knows the exact details of how creators are paid, but there are some basics. YouTube runs ads every 5 to 8 minutes, so the longer the video, the more it pays a portion of the ad revenue to content creators. If you watch the entire 2 hour and 46 minute interview with Williams and don’t pay for YouTube Premium, you’ll see about 20 ads.
YouTube calculates payouts by RPM, or revenue per 1,000 views. It receives about 55 percent of its funding from advertisers and gives 45 percent to creators. That works out to about $10 to $12 per 1,000 views for creators.
So how much did Sharpe make from Williams’ “Club Shay Shay”?
Taking this revenue split into account, Mr. Sharp earned approximately $660,000 (and will continue to earn) on the main interview.
But Sharp and his team did what many content creators do. That is, we split the interview into separate clips. Also Monetized. Williams’ interview is nearly three hours long, so it’s been split into 37 separate clips, each with views ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.
The first 35-minute clip of the interview, in which Williams catches Sharpe off guard with a thermonuclear attack, has been viewed nearly 8 million times, and aside from Williams’ full interview and Steve Harvey’s full interview, the clip of the first 35 minutes of the interview, in which Williams catches Sharpe off guard with a thermonuclear attack, has been viewed nearly 8 million times, and apart from Williams’ full interview and Steve Harvey’s full interview, the club Shay… All of Shay’s videos are recorded independently. If no one watches it after today, Sharp will earn between $90,000 and $100,000 from that clip alone.
Either way, Sharpe is on track to make millions or more from the Williams interview. Of course, he has to pay his production team, but this interview alone earned him more than that in a few weeks. Huge Most professional YouTubers are Until now make.
I hope Sharpe sends Williams a nice gift basket or something.
