How Much Money Does Kathleen Lights Earn On YouTube?

The channel has over 4.2 million subscribers as of 2021 growing by 2,000 new subs daily and has accumulated over 640 million views since starting out back in 2013. Kathleen posts videos almost daily and the channel is able to get an average of 80,000 views per day. This should result in an estimated revenue of around $640 per day ($233,000 a year) from the ads on YouTube.

YouTube content creators based in the US, UK, Canada and Australia generally get paid $2 – $12 per 1000 monetized views after YouTube takes its cut. Monetized views usually range from 40% – 80% of the total views. All these are influenced by several factors like the device played on, time of the year, the location of the viewer, ad inventory, how many ads there are on a video, how many people skip the ads, type of advertisement, ad engagement, type of content, etc. The cost of an ad view is based on an auction between advertisers based on views. Advertisers have to bid a minimum of $0.01 per view.

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.

Kathleen is able to make a higher income from make up product sales. She has had a partnership with ColourPop Cosmetics, Makeup Geek to create a highlighter palette, Sephora etc. She also has her own nail polish line called KL Polish which has been quite popular. In addition to that, she also gets paid for sponsored posts on her social media accounts since she has over 2 million followers on Instagram.
