Episode notes
Right Views Beat Raw View Count
- You don't need millions of views to make good money on YouTube if you get the right views and RPM.
- Higher RPM drastically reduces required daily views to hit $50 per day.
Pair Ads With Affiliate Sales
- Use both YouTube ad RPM and affiliate commissions as complementary revenue paths to reach $50/day.
- Calculate required views or sales: e.g., $5 RPM = 10,000 views or three $20 affiliate sales for $60/day.
SaaS Commissions Scale Predictably
- Recurring SaaS commissions turn one-off referrals into ongoing income and can scale to $50/day.
- Small monthly commissions compound: e.g., 300 customers at $5/month equals $1,500/month.
