If your ad revenue feels like a season rollercoaster, you are not crazy.

Set your price floors too high and advertisers walk away. Set them too low and you’re basically giving away ad space for cheap.

A brand posts three times a week. Engagement climbs. Comments roll in. And at the end of the quarter, the CFO still asks the same question: where’s the money?
