Lets talk money! This video is a deep dive into my analytics, and I show how much ad revenue Ive earned from the six best-earning videos on my channel. Ever since my booktube channel got monetized, Ive been fascinated by which videos earn a substantial amount of ad revenue and which dont. At 6000 subscribers (thank you!) I am of course just a small example in the world of booktube, but I thought it would be interesting to have a look at the videos YouTube thinks are worth cash and how much ad revenue they make compared to my channel average. Spoiler, its not the ones about books.

I am bringing you another booktube behind the scenes video, this time exploring the view numbers for book review videos in contrast to other popular booktube formats such as TBR videos and reading wrap-ups. Do book review videos really not get views? Or do they get many views but only long after the video was published? Join me in looking at some examples from my own booktube channel to get the answer.
