Worked Examples
Example 1: Small Channel
For a channel with:
- 10,000 average monthly views
- $5 CPM
- $200 sponsorship income
- $50 membership income
Calculation:
(10,000 ÷ 1000) × $5 + $200 + $50 = $500 + $200 + $50 = $750
Estimated monthly earnings: $750
Example 2: Medium Channel
For a channel with:
- 100,000 average monthly views
- $10 CPM
- $1,000 sponsorship income
- $200 membership income
Calculation:
(100,000 ÷ 1000) × $10 + $1,000 + $200 = $1,000 + $1,000 + $200 = $2,200
Estimated monthly earnings: $2,200
Example 3: Large Channel
For a channel with:
- 1,000,000 average monthly views
