Trace Velo YouTube Channel Earnings Report & Research

To answer how much does Trace Velo make, Branzly runs the channel's estimated 262.2K monthly views through the same ad revenue calculator used across the site: a Gaming RPM of $1.4-$5.1 from 2026 niche benchmarks, with the headline figure taken at the middle of that range ($3.3), the same RPM used in the home page calculator. That puts Trace Velo YouTube ad revenue at roughly $367 to $1,337 per month, or $4,405 to $16,045 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 Trace Velo 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.

On top of ad revenue, we assume one integrated-mention sponsorship per month priced on 132.5K average views per video at a Gaming / Entertainment cost-per-view rate of $0.01 with a 0.8× niche multiplier — the identical model in our sponsorship calculator. That suggests a Trace Velo sponsored video is worth about $890 to $1,781, with a fair midpoint near $1,272.

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 Trace Velo?" should expect dedicated videos to cost two to three times an integrated mention.

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 164.0K subscribers, Trace Velo sits in the Mid-tier (100K-500K subs) band, where retainers typically run $4,000 to $15,000 a month. Niche demand, engagement, cadence across 2 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 $4,406 of value to each video.

Put simply, Trace Velo YouTube earnings are estimated at roughly $7,426 to $15,456 per month when ad revenue, one sponsored integrated mention and a retainer are combined, or about $89,115 to $185.5K 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 Trace Velo usually start from several years of this yearly income, minus taxes, team costs and production spend. Treat any Trace Velo net worth figure as a planning range, not a disclosed number.

Trace Velo (@tracevelo) is a gaming YouTube channel that has published 209 videos and accumulated 27,694,980 lifetime views from an audience of 164,000 subscribers. The channel was created in January 2019, which makes it roughly 7 years and 10 months old, and it continues to publish content for viewers interested in gaming topics. In the creator's own words: "I love cycling, and I love getting pro cycling kit for less. If it’s cheap, from China, and made of carbon fiber, I’m interested! Road cycling can be an expensive hobby, and the barrier to entry for good quality cycling gear can be exceptionally high. My whole ethos is to get pro-level cycling gear on the cheap, and show that you dont have to have to spend extortionate amounts to get some fantast" Branzly analyses Trace Velo 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.

Trace Velo has been on YouTube for approximately 7 years and 10 months, starting in January 2019. Across that period the channel has averaged around 30 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 209 videos in the library, Trace Velo 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 gaming channels can stay stable between releases.

Trace Velo currently has 164,000 subscribers, a figure that places the channel in the established mid-tier tier of YouTube creators. Total channel views stand at 27,694,980, and average views per video sit at approximately 132,512. The ratio of lifetime views to subscribers is about 168.9 views for every subscriber, which indicates a strong reach beyond the subscribed audience, typically driven by search, suggested video placements or Shorts distribution. Branzly estimates recent activity at roughly 262,173 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.

The most-watched long-form video currently visible for Trace Velo is "This AliExpress bike upgrade is too powerful..." with 293,806 views. On the Shorts side, "The new Go Ultra #insta360 #cycling #roadbike" leads with 28,796 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 132,512 views and the outliers shown above.

Based on an estimated 262,173 monthly views and typical gaming CPM ranges, Trace Velo could earn roughly $367 to $1,337 per month from YouTube ad revenue, or approximately $4,404 to $16,044 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 gaming audiences typically command mid-range rates because of advertiser demand in that vertical.

Branzly classifies Trace Velo under the Gaming 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 gaming channel attracts a specific set of advertisers, and CPMs vary widely between verticals such as finance, software, education, gaming and entertainment. The channel lists GB as its primary country, which further shapes its CPM because advertiser spend differs sharply between geographies. Public channel keywords include Carbon fibre, carbon fiber, bike build, chinese carbon, cheap carbon fiber, cycling, bike, bike maintenance, which supports this classification.

Every figure on this page comes from the public YouTube Data API, refreshed each time Trace Velo 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 Trace Velo or YouTube.

Gaming channels like Trace Velo sit in the Gaming 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.
