I have realized that there are less YouTubers in Nigeria. Those who make it in YouTube here are Celebrities. Is there a way one can make it in youtubing despite not being a celebrity? Why do other countries make it easily and not us?

I really need an answer because I am confused on why it is really difficult here

Depends on content and Location makes it difficult to get veiws , for some Reason people prefer watching their white counterparts


And for your question of course you can make it as a YouTuber in Nigeria , there's this travel guide guy , who is really popular , hundreds of thousands of veiws . It's not easy but definitely feasible

Tbh Nigerian YouTubers on average are boring and hard to look at for 10mims straight

The only way you can make it on YouTube without having any source of audience is to make videos around the entertainment niche or comedy (but the niche is risky). Most of the popular Nigerians on YouTube either have a fanbase on Instagram (Taooma, brother shaggi etc) Facebook, Twitter or they are celebrities.

I have been on YouTube for the past 2 years and I can tell you that it takes patience, consistency and hardwork to make something out of it. Most of the niche are saturated (hair, diy, vlogs etc) and getting ranked via SEO is no joke. The struggle continues after getting monetized because you get low pay per views.

If you want to start your channel, I’ll advice you to be:
1. Be patient
2. Stick to one niche
3. Do what you love doing, else you will run out of content to create. (It’s good to be talented or unique if you want to make it on YouTube)
4. Do not use other people’s content, you might get a strike. YouTube don’t joke with copyright.
5. Check out
-Itunu pepper on YouTube, she is a Nigerian and make music cover videos ( tho the niche is not profitable).
-Presh okosi, she makes dance video and tutorial. She is partly ghanian and Nigerian.
-Sisi yemmie tv too, she creates videos about food. You can also check out bilikis signature (Contents on fashion)

Thanks for the response guys.
I just feel YouTubing in Nigeria is based on a particular Genre like comedy, movies, musical videos and rarely sports. Anyone doing reaction videos or Reality shows, or gaming are just so rare to find and no one wants to watch anyone that has started it. Foreigners do too well in those genre.

Thanks for the response sir. This really makes so much sense and I really appreciate this alot. It's true one needs so much patience on YouTube because one can certainly discourage oneself. Thanks for this.
