$2,000 a month from ad revenue? this doesn't add up

[Crown]

104k views.

In her latest videos her adsense payment was over 2,100 canadian dollars (roughtly USD1,550

Hmm that'd be an RPM of $14 - Which would break all world records from the beginning of time.

I have no intention of checking out her videos but does she specifically say that all the revenue is from ad revenue ?

There is no way at all she can be earning that from ad revenue alone.

But there is a way she could be earning that using affiliate marketing whereby she links off to a website to promote a product or service and if the viewer buys, she earns a commission. Or maybe she includes sales of her book in her revenue calculations and she doesn't want to admit she's getting "rich" by telling others how to get "rich".



(moved this to the monetization forum btw)

nope, she specifically says its just for ad revenue, and says thats the smallest part of her channel. she earns more than that from amazon affiliate links on her YT and sales of her best selling book lol

Well...I wouldn't believe her then. ^^ I think she's full of baloney lol

Altho there was a channel I once ran into several years ago that was not getting extraordinary views, and she showed her viewers a monthly check from google for over $700. That was several years ago, and I just assumed things have changed since then.

Maybe her video is actually talking about an older channel version of herself that used to earn a lot more money?

Good? No, sir. I believe the correct term is "damn near incredible."

I'm happy if I can get 100 views per day and on the VERY rare times I've gotten upwards of 500, I've had to contemplate what to do with all of my YouTube fame.

All about perspective I suppose

thank you, yeah I am really happy about it! im just surprised at her earnings, but after watching the video and all she shows are little bits of scraps of paper with no logos even, then Im not sure I believe her. I checked her stats on vidstats/social blade. and they predict her channel to be doing and earning average like everyone else.

I would hesitate to trust anyone that hides their "secret success" behind a paywall (like a book).
At least many of the youtube experts that sell their books, also share very valuable and real information for free so you know you can trust them. And do not go around bragging about their own channels.

she specifically said its ad revenue from adsense only. she even showed it on screen and in past videos has even showed the google cheques (although she cuts out a ton of info so potentially would be very easy to fake)

She's definitely lying then. RPM has never even been in double figures, never mind at $14
