Worked Examples
Example 1: Small Channel
For a channel with 10,000 monthly views, $5 CPM, $200 sponsorship income, and $100 affiliate income:
- Ad Revenue: (10,000 / 1000) × $5 = $500
- Total Earnings: $500 + $200 + $100 = $800
Example 2: Medium Channel
For a channel with 100,000 monthly views, $8 CPM, $500 sponsorship income, and $300 affiliate income:
- Ad Revenue: (100,000 / 1000) × $8 = $800
- Total Earnings: $800 + $500 + $300 = $1,600
Example 3: Large Channel
For a channel with 1,000,000 monthly views, $12 CPM, $2,000 sponsorship income, and $1,000 affiliate income:
- Ad Revenue: (1,000,000 / 1000) × $12 = $12,000
- Total Earnings: $12,000 + $2,000 + $1,000 = $15,000
