Real-World Calculation Example
10,000 visitors, 1.5 pageviews/visitor, $15 RPM, 1% affiliate conversion, $30 commission, 2 sponsored posts at $500 each.
1. Monthly Pageviews = 10,000 × 1.5 = 15,000
2. Ad Revenue = (15,000 ÷ 1,000) × $15 = $225
3. Affiliate Revenue = 10,000 × (1 ÷ 100) × $30 = $3,000
4. Sponsored Posts = 2 × $500 = $1,000
Total Monthly Revenue = $225 + $3,000 + $1,000 = $4,225
