How the math works

Monthly ad revenue = (monthly views / 1,000) × RPM. Revenue per video = monthly revenue / uploads per month. Annual = monthly × 12. Revenue per 1,000 views = RPM. This is a simplified model — actual revenue depends on your niche, audience demographics, ad fill rate, and seasonality.

Common scenarios

100,000 views/month at $2.50 RPM, 4 uploads/month

Monthly: $250. Per video: $62.50. Annual: $3,000. This is a realistic benchmark for a small niche channel.

1,000,000 views/month at $5 RPM, 8 uploads/month

Monthly: $5,000. Per video: $625. Annual: $60,000. Higher views and higher RPM compound quickly.
