Course & Digital Product Revenue Formulas

Estimates revenue from selling digital products to your YouTube subscriber base, accounting for conversion rates, platform fees, refunds, and production costs.

Customers per Launch = Subscribers × (Conversion Rate / 100)
Gross Revenue per Launch = Customers × Product Price
Net Revenue per Launch = Gross − Refunds − Platform Fees
Annual Profit = (Net Revenue × Launches/Year) − (Production Cost + Marketing × Launches)
Revenue per Subscriber = Annual Net Revenue ÷ Total Subscribers

A channel with 10K engaged subscribers can sell 200-500 courses at $50-$100 each. Standard course pricing ranges from $97-$197. Conversion rates for warm audiences (YouTube subscribers) typically range 1-5%.
