Sponsorship rates at 1,000,000 average views per video

A 1,000,000-view channel has one fact to bring to a negotiation, the views, and one argument, the CPM. This page fixes the fact and runs the argument for every niche: fair integration rates from $10,000 to $50,000, plus dedicated-video and Shorts figures for each.

Same formula as the Sponsorship Pricing Calculator: views ÷ 1,000 × CPM × format. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Rate card at 1,000,000 views

Each row is one niche at 1,000,000 views. Low is 75% of fair and high is 140%; quote high, expect fair, decline below low. The dedicated and Short columns apply the format multipliers to the fair integration figure, so a dedicated video at this size is always 2.5× the integration and a Short 0.4×.

CPM sensitivity at this size

At 1,000,000 views every $5 of CPM is worth $5,000 per integration, which is why the negotiation is about the CPM and not the view count. The views are a fact the sponsor can check; the CPM is an argument about what those viewers are worth to this brand, and the table above shows what each version of that argument is worth.

What this channel size means in practice

At a million views per video the model's figures are guidance rather than a quote: deals of this size are shaped by the brand's campaign budget, the creator's other commitments and the rights being bought. Use the table to sanity-check an offer, not to set the ask; a channel with this reach usually has representation whose job is the ask.

How these numbers are made. These figures come from Zen2B2's own rate model, the same one behind the Sponsorship Pricing Calculator: average views ÷ 1,000 × a niche CPM × a format multiplier, with a low estimate at 75% and a high estimate at 140% of the fair rate. They are not surveyed market rates and they are not adjusted for audience country, engagement or brand fit. Use them as a starting point for a negotiation, and replace the CPM with your own once you have real offers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the range so wide at 1,000,000 views?

Because at 1,000,000 views the only variable is the niche CPM, from $10 to $50 in the model, so the fair integration runs from $10,000 to $50,000. Sponsors pay for what a viewer is worth to them, and a finance viewer is worth far more to a brokerage than a gaming viewer is to a game publisher.

How much does each $5 of CPM change the rate at 1,000,000 views?

By $5,000 per integration (1,000,000 ÷ 1,000 × $5). That is the unit to negotiate in.

Is the 1,000,000-view rate a market rate?

No. $10,000 to $50,000 at 1,000,000 views is the output of a stated formula (views ÷ 1,000 × niche CPM × format multiplier). Real offers vary with audience country, engagement, brand fit, exclusivity and usage rights, none of which the model includes.
