$10K Niche Site in 14 Months: The Real Math Required

The division problem for monthly ad revenue is pageviews ÷ 1,000 × RPM.

That works out to about $35 per 1,000 sessions. Ahrefs’ author says his niche sites hit $1,000 a month within 12 months. That is about $417 a month. mediavine Raptive now requires a minimum of 25,000 monthly pageviews.

Key takeaways

  • Affiliate or product revenue lowers the traffic requirement.
  • At $20 RPM, that is roughly 20,800 pageviews a month, and at $10 RPM, about 41,700.
  • For example, 10,000 pageviews at month 8 needing 500,000 by month 14 means 50x in six months, or about 92% growth every month.

Then divide trailing 30-day ad revenue by sessions to get your real revenue per 1,000 sessions.
