In a stream, well-known German YouTubers talked about their earnings regarding EA FC 25. They explained how many clicks they need for their videos to earn 2,000 euros in one go.
Which YouTubers are involved? Simon “GamerBrother” Schildgen and the duo “Tisi Schubech,” consisting of Timo Schulz and Simon Bechtold, are among the most famous streamers of EA FC 25 in Germany.
The main channels of the streamers together have 2 million subscribers on YouTube (GamerBrother with 1.11 million and Tisi Schubech with 944,000 subscribers). They produce content about EA FC every week on their accounts, sometimes also vlogs about stadium visits and other activities.
On their stream highlight account, Tisi Schubech uploaded a compilation of a conversation with GamerBrother during a recording. In this, GamerBrother mentions several of his videos that he claims earned him around 2,000 euros.
How many viewers does one need for 2,000 euros? GamerBrother stated that with a stadium vlog of the match Schalke 04 against Eintracht Braunschweig, which he uploaded on his second channel “Broski” on YouTube, he was able to generate 300,000 views. According to him, he would have earned 2,100 euros with that.
Another video about the career mode in FC 24, however, only reached 170,000 views. Nevertheless, he also received 2,000 euros for it.
Why do you get the same money for fewer viewers? This is due to the different durations of the videos. The mentioned career video is over 90 minutes longer than the vlog about the stadium visit in Schalke (33 minutes), with a total length of 2 hours and 13 minutes.
Longer videos earn more money, but also require more work
Why do longer videos earn more money? According to streamers, this can be explained by the RPM value. This stands for Revenue per Mille. This value defines how much money YouTubers earn per 1,000 views through advertising placements, for example.
In simple terms, advertisers can place more ads in longer videos, which positively affects the RPM, provided that viewers watch the video long enough to see several ad breaks.
However, 2 hours and 13 minutes is not just the pure working time. GamerBrother’s career videos serve as a good example of how much effort goes into such videos.
How long does the YouTuber play for 2,000 euros? Since GamerBrother now streams on Twitch and only uploads highlights of his career to YouTube, we looked at old career streams from FIFA 21 on YouTube.
The videos range in length from 4 hours and 30 minutes to 7 hours and 30 minutes. Thus, the highlight videos represent only a third, if at all, of the actual playtime.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that the hourly wage for the streamers is over 400 euros for a calculated 7 hours and 30 minutes for 2,000 euros. Many people would certainly love to switch places with them.
In order to achieve such high viewer numbers, however, the YouTubers had to produce many such videos for no or far less profit over a long period. GamerBrother has been a content creator since 2012, and Tisi Schubech since 2013. Just recently, the friendly streamers had to defend themselves against serious allegations: YouTuber claims that the two biggest German Twitch streamers of EA FC 25 are buying clicks from India
