How much can a channel this size earn?
I’ve been doing YouTube as a hobby for a while now and am finally starting to see some steady growth. I’m curious about the potential to monetize properly, but the revenue numbers are so confusing. Is there a way to estimate what a channel in my niche might make based on views and CPM, so I can see if it’s worth committing more time to this?
