About Real Progress In Action
Real Progress in Action is a US political and economic commentary channel run by Steve Grumbine, who also founded the Real Progressives network. The channel posts long-form interviews and panel discussions, along with short clips, on Modern Monetary Theory, federal spending, inflation and labor issues. Upload pace is slow, with about five videos in the past year, and the channel has around 14,100 subscribers. Audience estimates are approximate: the channel appears to draw a politically engaged, mostly US viewership, with a median of about 520 views per video.
Sponsored integrations are rare on the channel, which relies on donations through PayPal and Patreon. At a rate of $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, a sponsored video would cost about $150 to $250. That works out to a CPM of $20 to $35, which is higher than the $10 to $30 typical of paid ads, so brands should weigh that premium against the audience size.
This channel suits nonprofit, civic education and independent media campaigns that want an audience interested in economic policy debate. It is less suited to brands seeking mass reach or politically neutral placements.
