Big Money Opportunity on YouTube:
The author explains how written podcasts are earning money on YouTube.
A true-crime channel, just five months old, hit over 1 million views in its first month. It achieved this by posting 16 generated videos.
Quote: “We can estimate a real crime channel like this earns about 9,665 euros a month from these views. That’s over $10,000 in US dollars, and it’s just from their first month’s videos, which is pretty cool.””
RPM (revenue per 1,000 views) is what YouTubers earn for showing ads. More views mean more money for them.
