Frequently Asked Questions about YouTube Statistics

1. How can YouTube statistics help digital marketers?

Digital marketers and their teams can use YouTube statistics to learn more about virality while also measuring their videos’ performance. This is how they can better plan future YouTube campaigns and make predictions about the results.

2. How often do we update our YouTube statistics?

We update our YouTube statistics quarterly to bring forth data that keeps our charts relevant.

3. What do your YouTube statistics include?

So far, our YouTube statistics only include data about engagement evolution and average view rate, but much more data will soon be added.

4. Does YouTube pay monthly?

YouTubers are paid out monthly and either receive a check by mail or direct deposit. To start earning money from YouTube's Partner Program, creators must have 500 subscribers, three public uploads in the last 90 days, and either 3,000 watch hours in the past year or 3 million YouTube shorts views in the last 90 days.

5. Do YouTubers get paid if you skip ads?

Technically, if a YouTube ad is skipped, the advertiser isn't charged a dime. This also means that the content creator doesn't receive a commission either. Realistically though, most ads on YouTube are unskippable. So, with non-skippable ads, it's virtually impossible to miss out on at least a portion of that ad money.

6. Do YouTubers get more money for longer videos?

When you create videos for YouTube that are longer than 10 minutes, you'll have a higher chance of generating more money through ad revenue. YouTube videos that are longer than 10 minutes will likely have a higher watch time, which positively contributes towards the amount of ad revenue that said videos would generate.
