As many already know that youtube channels can be monetized with a few simple steps, you can begin earning money. However, there is a lot more you need to understand why some YouTubers in Nigeria make more money than others.
Why YouTubers in Nigeria make little money
Youtube earnings are easily calculated per 1000 views. Nigerian Youtube channels make somewhere around $8 for that number of views.
Today, some people have become celebrities from making Youtube vlogs, others are waiting endlessly for a big break. There are so many reasons for that – there are things you are doing wrong including being on the wrong niche and also posting inappropriate content.
In 2012, Youtube started being more transparent about their advertisements and revealed how content can be advert-friendly. At the same time, they began excluding certain content from getting advert revenue including those that display any kind of indecent images.
For having offensive contents like that, most YouTubers in Nigeria saw no other to make money. Also, those who upload content that isn’t what the name suggests just to mislead viewers.
YouTube demonetized such contents using an automated process and content creators did not get warnings at the time. However, that has changed and creators get a notification when their content is found to be illicit.
How you can make money making on Youtube in Nigeria
- Encouraging the use of drugs or harmful substances will not make you money. If you can not avoid that completely, go with the opposite topic.
- Use languages appropriately and avoid profanity.
- Check that you have no violent content or those that promote extremism.
- If by any chance Youtube takes off your video from its advert network, they allow you to contest. But you must be sure that it had appropriate content and removed by mistake.
