Frequently asked questions
What is RPM?
RPM is revenue per 1,000 views after platform share—use your niche’s realistic range, not peak viral stories.
Does this include brand deals or memberships?
No. This estimates ad-like revenue from views × RPM. Sponsorships and memberships are extra upside.
Why is my estimate rough?
RPM varies by niche, geography, season, and viewer behavior. Treat the output as a planning range.
