Same views, lower estimated earnings ??

[Michael Fazio]

Hello guys, the last 10 days at least my channel gets the same average number of views but the estimated earnings are up to 1/3 of their average....

Have you seen this in your channel or its only me?

Earnings are down everywhere. Advertisers don't spend money at the beginning of the year, so each ad that runs on your videos now pays a lot less. Things will get back to normal by March.

the estimated earnings isnt real.
if your not in any partnership, u get 1 dollar per 1000 views. (correct me if im wrong)

I have to agree same with other networks.

That's only if you're with a network that has a set CPM set at $1. Most networks just take a percentage of whatever ad revenue your channel earns.

so thats a useful answer

something more, estimated earnings are the actual number of $ i will be payed or they are just estimates? And if they are, how far can they be from the real numbers?

Your estimated earnings are usually the numbers from youtube/adsense with whatever you pay your network already deducted. They are fairly accurate, but could be off by around 15%. Usually they're off because some money was held back as they audited some clicks they think might be invalid or they find some fishy activity and remove a few clicks. The only reason we know our real number is because we pushed to have our daily reports enabled, so we're able to see our day to day earnings data from youtube/adsense just as if it was our account.

Um, that is 100% wrong. It's well known that advertisers blow all their money in the holidays then spend a lot less afterwards.

so the money can be lower sometimes but never higher than the estimates right?

Actually when I had adsense, my finalized earnings were sometimes significantly larger than the estimated earnings. Sometimes 5% or more.
