Shooting Down Idiots
Cost per 1,000 monetizable viewsI don't mean to ask a stupid question but what exactly is CPM
A more accurate term is RPM, or revenue per 1,000 impressions (RPM = what you get when selling ad space, CPM = what you get when buying ad space) but YouTuber's seem stuck on CPM.
CPM is effected by a number of things, most critically your viewer demographics (language, sex, location, age, etc) but also significantly time of year.
You can find out your CPM on your youtube analytics page under the "Ad Performance" tab.
