What should a science channel charge per sponsored video?

Multiply your average view count by the niche CPM range: views divided by 1,000, times $20 for the floor and $40 for the ceiling. A science channel averaging 25,000 views has a defensible range of $500 to $1,000 per integration.

How does that compare to science AdSense earnings?

AdSense pays science creators roughly $5 to $13 per 1,000 views, so a single sponsorship is usually worth several times a video's ad revenue. The two stack: a sponsored video earns both.
