Cost per mille (CPM) is a standard metric used in digital advertising to represent the price an advertiser pays for one thousand ad impressions. In the context of live streaming, an impression is counted each time an ad is served to a viewer during a broadcast.
To estimate revenue, we first calculate the total number of impressions generated by a stream. Assuming a steady audience, the total impressions equal the average concurrent viewers multiplied by the streamβs duration and the number of ad opportunities per unit time (commonly approximated as one impression per minute).
Finally, the CPM value converts those impressions into monetary revenue. By dividing the total impressions by one thousand and multiplying by the CPM rate, we obtain a realistic forecast of earnings for an esports or competitive gaming broadcast.
