YouTube brand deals are priced using a base CPM of 20 to 40 dollars per 1,000 expected views, adjusted by niche multiplier, engagement rate, audience demographics, production scope, and usage rights. A channel averaging 50,000 views per video in the finance niche charges 3,000 to 6,000 dollars for a 60-second integrated sponsorship, while the same view count in gaming yields 1,000 to 2,500 dollars. Use the formula: Rate equals Average Views divided by 1,000 times CPM times Niche Multiplier times Engagement Multiplier.
