Our growing user base forms the bedrock of our content community and our users are the key sources of boundless creativity. Over 25% of our average MAUs on Kuaishou App were content creators in 2020. We also started exploring new content formats that can contribute to the vibrancy of our ecosystem and attract new users.Kuaishou has inspired many to create and has become the platform of choice for content creation and business activities. As more users use Kuaishou App, the more diverse and vibrant our ecosystem becomes, thereby increasing user engagement and the value we provide to our ecosystem participants. Users’ interactions and trust greatly enhance our monetization capabilities, which in turn, attracts more advertisers, merchants and other business partners to our platform. In addition, our strong user engagement and advanced technologies enable us to understand our users better and provide more efficient and appealing services to our users and customers.For the full year ended December 31, 2020, our total revenue grew significantly to RMB58.8 billion from RMB39.1 billion in 2019, posting a year-over-year increase of 50.2%, which was primarily attributable to the robust growth in our online marketing services and other services including e-commerce.

Live streaming represented 56.5% of our total revenue and the remaining 6.3% was attributable to other services. Due to the change in our revenue mix, our gross margin improved to 40.5% from 36.1% in 2019.Online marketing services Online video-based advertising is a promising market and online marketing service is one of the key strategic businesses for our long-term growth. Our massive and highly engaged user community makes our platform increasingly attractive to advertisers.In 2020, we launched an integrated advertising platform, further solidifying the foundation of our online marketing services. Our strong user engagement and advanced technologies empowered us to achieve precise understanding of our users, and sophisticated advertising content development and distribution, which led to improved advertising efficiency and effectiveness. We introduced an increasing number of powerful and intuitive tools and services to empower advertisers, allowing them to more precisely reach and engage with their target customers. Furthermore, we expanded our sales team and channel coverage, as well as giving greater emphasis to a more diverse set of advertising formats, such as branding advertisement and advertising union, in addition to short video feeds advertisement. In order to optimize our user experience, we also reinforced our cooperation with advertisers and content creators to deliver unique and customized ad content. At the same time, through refined algorithms and enriched ad materials, the ad content became less disruptive to our users.As a result, we enjoyed robust growth in online marketing services.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, online marketing services became the largest contributor to our total revenue, as a percentage of revenue, it surpassed the contribution of live streaming business for the first time.Live streaming We believe that people’s needs will be increasingly met online and that live streaming provides an ideal format and an infrastructure through which those needs can be met, due to its highly social, interactive, and immersive nature. As our scale continues to grow, together with the stronger network effect, our live streaming business nurtures our ecosystem and serves more than just a revenue contributor, but a vibrant and solid foundation from which more social interactions and new valuable businesses are derived, such as e-commerce live streaming.In 2020, we further expanded our abundant and diverse live streaming content with more premium content, such as game events and sports events live streaming, as well as through cooperation with more high-quality content creators.

More importantly, as a result of our diverse content offering, highly interactive features as well as unique and strong social trust, the user community was even more engaged on our platform, which was demonstrated by the increase in average MPUs for live streaming. For the full year 2020, our average MPUs for live streaming increased by 17.8% to 57.6 million from 48.9 million in 2019, while our monthly ARPPU for live streaming was RMB48.0, which was RMB53.6 in 2019.
