How much could Blender Guru potentially make from channel memberships?
We found no public sign that Blender Guru has the Join button switched on, so the figures below are what memberships could be worth if they were enabled, not money being earned today. What we can do is model it. The sum is simple: estimated paying members × average membership price, less the 30% YouTube keeps on every membership payment.
Where memberships appear on YouTube
Blender Guru
3.5M subscribers
| Blender Guru membership earnings | Low | Mid | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Members converting from subscribers | 0.11% | 0.22% | 0.43% |
| Estimated paying members | 3,864 | 7,728 | 14,683 |
| Average membership price | $7.69 | $7.69 | $7.69 |
| Members revenue per month (before YouTube cut) | $29,714 | $59,428 | $112.9K |
| Creator keeps after YouTube's 30% cut | $20,800 | $41,600 | $79,039 |
| Membership earnings per year | $249.6K | $499.2K | $948.5K |
The working, step by step
- Start with a Technology benchmark conversion of 0.40% of subscribers paying for a membership.
- Adjust for audience size: at 3.5M subscribers we apply a 0.8× factor, because very large audiences contain far more passive viewers.
- Adjust for loyalty: 654.3K monthly views against that subscriber base gives a 0.7× factor.
- That lands on an expected 0.22% conversion, or about 7,728 paying members. The low case halves it, the high case is roughly double, covering the spread seen across real channels.
- Price each member at the blended $7.69 average across a standard tier ladder: $4.99 (70% of members), $9.99 (22% of members), $24.99 (8% of members).
- Multiply members by price, then take off YouTube's 30% cut to get what Blender Guru actually keeps: $41,600 a month in the mid case, or $499.2K a year.
Until Blender Guru switches the Join button on, membership income is zero regardless of the numbers above. Channels that run members-only videos, Discord perks or loyalty badges usually sit at the high end, while channels that enable memberships and never mention them sit below the low case. These are planning estimates from public data, not disclosed earnings, and not financial advice.

Blender Guru YouTube earnings, income and channel analysis: the full guide
How much does Blender Guru make on YouTube per month?
To answer how much does Blender Guru make, Branzly runs the channel's estimated 654.3K monthly views through the same ad revenue calculator used across the site: a SaaS / Tech RPM of $3.4-$10.2 from 2026 niche benchmarks, with the headline figure taken at the middle of that range ($6.8), the same RPM used in the home page calculator. That puts Blender Guru YouTube ad revenue at roughly $2,225 to $6,674 per month, or $26,696 to $80,087 per year from AdSense alone.
RPM is what the channel actually keeps per 1,000 views after YouTube's 45% revenue share, unfilled ad inventory and ad blockers, which is why these Blender Guru earnings figures sit far below the advertiser-side CPM quotes you may see elsewhere. Views from Tier 1 countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia pay the most, while Shorts views pay a fraction of long-form RPM.
How much does Blender Guru charge for a sponsorship?
On top of ad revenue, we assume one integrated-mention sponsorship per month priced on 995.0K average views per video at a SaaS / B2B cost-per-view rate of $0.02 with a 1.4× niche multiplier — the identical model in our sponsorship calculator. That suggests a Blender Guru sponsored video is worth about $17,552 to $35,105, with a fair midpoint near $25,075.
Sponsorship pricing follows views and engagement, not subscriber count, so a large channel with a quiet video is still only paid for the views that video earns. Brands asking "how much does it cost to sponsor Blender Guru?" should expect dedicated videos to cost two to three times an integrated mention.
Blender Guru brand deals and channel partner retainers
Channel-level deals work differently again. A retainer is an ongoing fee for a set of deliverables each month, not the sum of every slot the channel could sell, so pricing follows published size bands. With 3.5M subscribers, Blender Guru sits in the Macro (1M-5M subs) band, where retainers typically run $18,000 to $40,000 a month. Niche demand, engagement, cadence across 1 uploads a month and how much of the audience watches each upload decide where in that band a deal lands. Spread back across uploads, that adds about $32,615 of value to each video.
Blender Guru net worth and yearly YouTube income
Put simply, Blender Guru YouTube earnings are estimated at roughly $42,607 to $81,779 per month when ad revenue, one sponsored integrated mention and a retainer are combined, or about $511.3K to $981.3K per year. Channels that publish more sponsored videos, sell merchandise or courses, run memberships, or earn affiliate commissions typically make more than this range.
Net worth estimates for YouTubers like Blender Guru usually start from several years of this yearly income, minus taxes, team costs and production spend. Treat any Blender Guru net worth figure as a planning range, not a disclosed number.
Who is Blender Guru on YouTube?
Blender Guru (@blenderguru) is a technology YouTube channel that has published 259 videos and accumulated 257,715,087 lifetime views from an audience of 3,450,000 subscribers. The channel published its first video in March 2012, which makes it roughly 14 years and 8 months old, and it continues to publish content for viewers interested in technology topics. In the creator's own words: "Hi I'm Andrew Price, and I create tutorials for the free open source 3D software "Blender". I was born in Australia in 1988, started using Blender at age 16 and made my first tutorial at age 20. My most popular tutorial series is "the donut", which is a beginner tutorial where you learn Blender while making a donut. I remake it for each major Blender version change (4.0, 5.0 etc). I am also foun" Branzly analyses Blender Guru using public YouTube data so creators, brands and media buyers can understand the channel's size, output and likely earning power before they reach out, benchmark against it, or plan a collaboration.
How long has Blender Guru been active?
Blender Guru has been on YouTube for approximately 14 years and 8 months, starting in March 2012. Across that period the channel has averaged around 19 uploads per year, which gives a useful signal about publishing consistency: channels that maintain a steady cadence typically build stronger session watch time and more predictable sponsorship inventory than channels that upload in bursts. Longevity also matters for advertisers, because an established back catalogue keeps generating views long after each video's launch week. With 259 videos in the library, Blender Guru earns a meaningful share of its monthly views from older content rather than from new uploads alone, and that evergreen tail is one reason estimated revenue for technology channels can stay stable between releases.
Blender Guru subscriber count and audience size
Blender Guru currently has 3,450,000 subscribers, a figure that places the channel in the million-subscriber tier of YouTube creators. Total channel views stand at 257,715,087, and average views per video sit at approximately 995,039. The ratio of lifetime views to subscribers is about 74.7 views for every subscriber, which indicates an audience that is concentrated in the channel's regular, subscribed viewers. Branzly estimates recent activity at roughly 654,304 views per month based on the channel's most recent uploads and publishing history, which is the number our ad revenue calculator uses to model earnings.
Most viewed videos and Shorts on Blender Guru
The most-watched long-form video currently visible for Blender Guru is "Beginner Blender 4.0 Tutorial (2023)" with 3,815,345 views. On the Shorts side, "The "Color burn technique". Improve your texturing in Blender #b3d" leads with 12,501,222 views. Top-performing titles are worth studying because they reveal which hooks, formats and topics the algorithm rewards for this audience. For brands, they also show the realistic ceiling of a sponsored placement: a dedicated integration on a channel of this size will usually land somewhere between the average video performance of 995,039 views and the outliers shown above.
Estimated Blender Guru YouTube earnings
Based on an estimated 654,304 monthly views and typical technology CPM ranges, Blender Guru could earn roughly $2,224 to $6,673 per month from YouTube ad revenue, or approximately $26,695 to $80,086 per year. These figures reflect the AdSense share only. Most channels of this size also earn from brand sponsorships, affiliate links, memberships, merchandise and product sales, so total creator income is commonly several times the advertising estimate. Sponsorship value is usually priced per view rather than per thousand impressions, and technology audiences typically command above-average rates because of advertiser demand in that vertical.
What niche and category is Blender Guru in?
Branzly classifies Blender Guru under the Technology category using the channel's description, keywords, topic signals and the language of its best-performing uploads. Category matters more than raw subscriber count when estimating revenue: a technology channel attracts a specific set of advertisers, and CPMs vary widely between verticals such as finance, software, education, gaming and entertainment. The channel lists US as its primary country, which further shapes its CPM because advertiser spend differs sharply between geographies. Public channel keywords include blender tutorials, blender guru, andrew price, blender tutorial, blender 3d, which supports this classification. Use the Branzly ad revenue, sponsorship and financial freedom calculators to model how a channel like Blender Guru converts views into monthly income, sponsorship pricing and long-term wealth.
How these numbers are produced
Every figure on this page comes from the public YouTube Data API, refreshed each time Blender Guru is searched on Branzly. Subscriber counts, view counts and video counts are reported directly by YouTube. Monthly views are an estimate: YouTube does not publish per-month analytics for channels you do not own, so Branzly reconstructs recent performance from the views of the channel's latest uploads, falling back to lifetime views divided by channel age when recent data is sparse. Revenue ranges are modelled estimates, not disclosed earnings, and actual payouts depend on monetisation status, watch time, ad formats, seasonality, audience geography and YouTube's revenue share. Nothing on this page is financial advice, and Branzly is not affiliated with or endorsed by Blender Guru or YouTube.
Technology YouTube RPM and CPM explained
Technology channels like Blender Guru sit in the SaaS / Tech RPM bracket. Advertisers pay more for audiences that buy — finance, business and tech pay the highest rates, while entertainment, gaming and music rely on huge view volume. Seasonality matters too: Q4 ad rates commonly run 30–50% higher than January.
