If John posts a video of his new single on YouTube that gets 500,000 views, and 20,000 viewers decide to purchase the song, what is the percentage return on his post?

Answer 1

In order to calcuate the percentage return he gets on his you tube videos, we simply need to follow these steps:

Total number of views on You tube: 500,000

Total number of viewers who bought the song: 20,000

Divided 20,000 by 500,000 and multiply by 100

20,000 ÷ 500,000 × 100 = 4%

Hence, the percentage return on his posts is 4%
