About American Real
American Real is a United States YouTube channel hosted by Roger Brooks, a publisher and author who runs American Real Publishing. The channel posts long-form interviews with authors, entrepreneurs and everyday people, along with a Publishing Playbook series that covers editing, ISBNs, Amazon strategy and book launches. Uploads run at roughly one video a month, and typical episodes are long-form interviews of around 10 minutes or more.
The audience appears to be aspiring and early-stage authors, self publishers and people interested in publishing as a business. These viewer estimates are inferred from the content and not measured. Median views are 56 per video, so reach is limited, but engagement is steady for a channel of this size.
Brands that want to reach people planning to write or publish a book may find the channel a fit. Based on the dossier, an integration is estimated at $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, or about $150 to $250 per video. That compares with paid ads at a typical CPM of $10 to $30, so the channel's cost per view is higher than most paid placements.
