What often gets overlooked is the variability of audience engagement.

The Earnings Breakdown
After getting monetized, my earnings on AdSense varied widely. During my most productive months, I experienced earnings fluctuations from a low of $941 to a high of $7,148 in a single day. Over my first year, I accumulated 1.4 million views, 97.7k watch hours, 45.1k subscribers, and reported an income of approximately $5.6k from AdSense alone.
