Why does conversion % matter?

Most creators only reach 1–10% of their followers per post. Big lists with low engagement need far bigger audiences than small, loyal ones.

Can I include other income?

Increase the sponsor or RPM figure to roll in courses, memberships, or affiliate income — anything that scales with views.

What if my niche has low RPM?

Lifestyle/entertainment niches earn $1–3 RPM. You'll need 5–10x the audience of a finance or B2B creator for the same income.
