In this video, I want to show you how much a small channel like mine can make from a single video. Not just any video, but my most popular video since monetizing my YouTube channel in April 2020.
As a bonus, I’ll also show you my second and third most popular video and how much they made in the past 8 months (at the point of this recording).
It’s really exciting! You will learn all the behind the scenes data (CPM, RPM, Views, Impressions, etc), and what contributes to a HIGH paying video, regardless of the views.
