Nigerian comedian, Samuel Perry, popularly known as Broda Shaggi has revealed how much he earns monthly from Youtube.
The Skit maker gave a hint about his Youtube monthly income during an interview with media personality, Ehiz Okoeguale, also known as Dada Boy, on his show ‘Dada boy’.
Brodashaggi, who didn’t reveal his actual income, said he makes more than $40,000 monthly from his YouTube page which has 1.7 million subscribers.
Ehiz asked in parts, “In six months, how much do you make off YouTube in dollars? Let’s say you make $40,000 per month, is that higher or lower?$80,000, higher or lower?”
Responding, Shaggi said, “I make more than $40,000 but lower than $80,000 monthly.”
The content creator shared the three core factors that make for a successful skit maker including; number, consistency, and amount of content created.
Broda Shaggi also noted that working as a brand ambassador is another way for content creators to earn money.
“I try my best. It’s numbers for you to make money. As a skit maker, it’s numbers and you have to be consistent. Consistency is very very very key,” he said.
Shaggi added, “You have to be consistent always because then, you’ll have more content. And more content means more money. That’s if you’re on YouTube and you grow your platform well.
“And asides from YouTube, there are brands that want to penetrate into your brand as well to work with you. And all they look for is numbers. You know, like how many views, who’s watching, what’s the comment like, what’s the reach; you know. That’s where the money comes in.”
The comedian claimed that when choosing influencers to work with—and this is where the money is—brands typically consider high numbers, views, comments, and reach.
