Part 6/8:
Reflecting on my earnings, I was surprised at the revenue breakdown. My top-earning video, which discussed my net worth, generated $90.87 from ads, while my other videos about being 30 years old and my feelings of disappointment in a corporate career brought in $27.25 and $22.80, respectively.
The holiday season likely contributed to my earnings surge. I learned that ad rates tend to change monthly due to fluctuations in advertiser spending, especially around January. My CPM (cost per mille, or cost per thousand views) was decent, and I earned $244.52 for 126,127 views, translating to about $371 per 1,000 views on my videos.
