So basically the 2 factors of how much money you make per video are:
- Estimated Monetized Playbacks
- CPM
To basically figure out how much you make you take the EMP / 1000 x CPM, correct?
So for some reason, I feel like something fishy is going on with these statistics. I know YouTube has much better things to do than to analyze my teeny channel and to try to screw me over, but I can't help but feel this way. I also do believe that it would be in YT's best interest for content creators to make money so why would they be trying to hold me back?
Yet, video after video the same thing happens. It's hard to explain but I will try. So, if one of my videos does well (for me) and lets say gets 50,000 views in the first 48 hours...I can BET MY LIFE that the CPM will be ridiculously small. like .91! If my video isn't doing well at all (500 in the first 24 hours) the CPM will be about $3. Also, IF BY CHANCE I get a popular video AND a somewhat high CPM going with it, GUARANTEE the Estimated Monetized playbacks will be ridiculously low. And I compare estimated playbacks and lets again use 50,000 views. A video of mine with 50,000 views usually gets about 5,000 EMP but if they give it a higher CPM it will have more like a 500 EMP.
Am I just crazy or has anyone else noticed this, too? I hope I'm even making sense.
