Dulu aku cuma lihat angka di YouTube Studio tanpa ngerti artinya, apalagi bedanya CPM sama RPM. Setelah ikut kursus ini aku jadi paham metrik mana yang benar-benar nentuin penghasilan dan gimana cara baca analitik buat ningkatin pendapatan. Penjelasan soal faktor yang ngaruh ke RPM bikin aku mulai milih topik video yang lebih nguntungin. Sekarang strategi kontenku jauh lebih terarah dan penghasilanku naik. Mantap banget materinya, jelas dan langsung kepake.

I used to ignore my YouTube analytics completely, but now I track RPM and watch time deliberately. The breakdown of which metrics actually drive earnings helped me restructure my content. My revenue per thousand views has noticeably improved.
