      Brad and techLead are so on the opposite side of a spectrum even if they are both truly interesting and genuinely themselves they kind of live in different unique universe LoL 😂 you’re both expressing yourself in a different way I cannot say parallel universe because I can imagine you sharing your space in a unreal moment in a video reaching each other midway in your own reality so let’s just say you instead live in perpendicular universe... 😝 😆 😂 haha 🤣 hehe 😜

      Definitely wanna get into the space myself since coding has been my passion since I was 11, but I’m skeptical about the CPM rates for the niche, I know that there are many other ways of monetizing but a decent CPM rate wouldn’t hurt and would definitely be a great motivator if I were to invest a lot of time and resources into something like this. Since your channel is almost at 100k subs, if you don’t mind sharing, what is the average CPM and RPM you earn across all your videos? If you don’t want to say, that’s completely fine, I’m just curious and wanting to be motivated.

    • @PedroTechnologies
      @PedroTechnologies ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@AryanShahGamingMusic i dont know if i can say a specific number but the cpm is 15+ and the rpm is 5+. Trust me, this is an amazing niche. Good luck with your channel 💪

      @@PedroTechnologies Thanks so much! Just subbed to your channel and watched a couple videos, you make some great content! I’m only 16 at the moment so my hope is to leverage my time and skills to make a lot of content in these early years and then focus on monetizing later. Neat and organized content like yours is my goal.

    I started my channel 2 months ago and I'm already in love with the results, it's really worth it, I'm improving my English, my way of sharing information, my video editing skills and of course my coding skills as I have to do enough research and learn about the topic I'm going to talk about before creating the video. Yet there's still a lot to improve so yeah... thanks for the video !

  • @TheRealJohnMadden
    @TheRealJohnMadden 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thank you for the wonderful video Beau! You were correct in the first few minutes of your video. Even if you're just making videos to show a particular task or way of doing things, that just reinforces the learning process and embedds that information even further into your brain. That is one of the most important parts about learning in this overwhelming field. I believe many people would be surprised to learn how much they know about a topic by just teaching someone about what they're learning. You never really know you're adept on a topic, until you have to explain it.
