I finally got the laptop. It's a long story and I don't have the energy to write everything down. But just know that between the day I want to the bank and today, I have spent about 22k naira (I still have little changes) on issues or things connected to this PC.

I also bought an adapter this evening because the head of the charger didn't match any socket here. Phew! Mannnnn... Grateful to God, now I hope with this new office, I print $100k to $1M. Amen.

So help me God. Thank you Lord. I will be installing capcut today. And getting to work straight away.

I noticed the audio wasn't working, I was instantly stressed. And then, I decided to fix the issue myself. I tried Claude AI but it wasn't really giving me what I want. I then used ChatGPT and we fixed it!

God, AI advancement is getting crazy. What exactly would humans do if AI starts doing everything? Very soon, I will start building apps and websites that will make my work easier with the help of AI. This is insane!

Where are we going to??

Anyways, I pray for a beautiful and wonderful month. I hope this channel blows up, I pray there's no obstacles, and there's constant light.

May God help us all. I'm anxious but let me make that challenge with faith.

$10k.
And find a profitable, low competition, and simple niche this month. Amen.

I just pray and hope I don't come across any obstacle like demonetization, Lord. Phew!

I just bought another office and these people decided it was the perfect time to not give us light. You know when I say I'm nervous, it's not necessarily only because I doubt my abilities. It's just that when your whole life has been about struggling to get basic things, you struggle to believe everything will be fine once you've got that thing.

You know that feeling of hoping and working hard for something and when it happens, you're scared and wondering if something would just happen out of the blue and you go back to that lowest place you just crawled out of.

Now, that this laptop is here, I fixed the audio, the battery is really good, all these fears cloud around, and I'm here hoping the light don't have issue, or something bad might happen. So I'm always in my defense mode, ready to start again if something happens.

It's unfortunate, life's not fair but that's the fun in it. Anyways, let me go to the toilet and then take my bath.

I will still turn on the laptop and log into Claude AI first. I just hope everything goes well.

$10k.

May God thoroughly punish whoever is frustrating my goals and dreams with lack of power supply. May God take away what they sincerely need .

I didn't even work out or take my bath yesterday because I was trying to catch up with work . I must upload this video today and it better go viral or I'm going to declare war.

I will try to see if I can have 3 videos live this week, it's Thursday already . God, don't let my sleepless nights go in vain. I need to make at least $5k this month and receive that 4 figure credit alert this month so guide my steps and I pray my channel remains safe.

I now have a machine that helps me, I just hate how I have to chop off the pauses in this voiceover!

Anyways, I need to go bathe these kids! God help me .

I need approximately 500,000 views to make $10k. I really hope everything goes well on this channel. I will get back to work now.

If everything goes well by God's grace, I hope I upload at least 12 to 20 videos this month.

This light issue is just getting out of hand. What happens when it starts raining heavily? I'm supposed to be at $1000 to $2000. But anyways, I'm still grateful to God but I hate these guys.

We're still in darkness.

Oh boy, Nigeria will kill your dreams especially if you give up easily. Now, I'm already preparing myself mentally for another unnecessary expenses. I just hope everything goes well, I'm wondering how I would travel again just to use the bank.

I will certainly get solar to power my laptops, phones, and power banks. May God help me. Imagine uploading just a single video in a month. Imagine a business that could bring you tens of millions being held back because of ordinary electricity.

If this is a curse, I humbly ask for forgiveness. I commented on a thread about this electricity issue and I think I got banned and it was deleted. I don't even care because I just posted and left to get fetch water.

It's been 8 days of not posting a video on this channel. God knows my heart and why I need to win, I'm sure I will overcome this light issue. Amen.

I am my own president. I don't believe in any government..

By God's grace, tomorrow if I'm alive, I will go to the shop that charges gadgets and offer to plug in my extension and work from there, then pay per hour. I need to finish up this particular video I have been working on for over 8 days.

Now, I know I have uploaded two videos so far this month. By God's grace, once I fix this light issue, with God and time by my side, I will utterly destroy poverty permanently. $100k is possible.

This channel has crazy potentials, it's so sad this light issue is trying to drown my progress. I have only published one video and the channel has made about $800 already this month. I just need the account stability, light, and I will grow it to $50k befire the end of the year.


I will start another channel soon, and will go into Snapchat and Twitter. I just need to fix this light. So help me God .

Did this dude intentionally ignore the part where I asked him if he was now monetized? Anyways, whatever... I just help but I'm focused on my grind anyway. I share tips and things with people, if they don't wanna share theirs, who cares? As long as I'm making my own dough.

---

That's by the way... So, I went to the charging store yesterday and tomorrow, and surprisingly I was well received more than I thought I would. I politely explained my predicament and they allowed me. I paid N300 yesterday and the same price today. Glory to Lord, I was so happy.

I couldn't finish the work yesterday and I reluctantly went home because I badly wanted to finish it. Man, video editing isn't for the impatient .

Anyways, I just published the video. Hopefully everything goes well. I pray for 100k. I wish myself the best of the best on this video.

The video did well but not that well but we thank God for everything. It's at over 9k views. The light came on today and off (it came on just now I slept off on the corridor), let's see (by God's grace), if I can hit over $2k this month. This means I have less than 12 or 13 days to cover up.

Tomorrow is my momma's birthday. 26 will be the day daddy left this world. 28, the day I was born. This month?

I wish myself the best and pray for God's help and wisdom as I push this channel to $50k earnings. Once I get to $20k +, I will start building more and more channels.

I'm grateful to God for everything regardless... I just received my royalty payment from YouTube and it's 4 figures. The tax is just so big but nevertheless I'm still grateful because I'd have to work tirelessly like a robot for years to make what I now make in a day.

Now, I'm budgeting 400k to 500k for the solar light. I just hope I don't face any more obstacles. The past few days were highly unproductive due to my brother's arrest.

Now, I'm fueled with more anger and I will do anything to escape poverty and never ever let anyone play with my short time on earth.

I would have to force myself to travel again because just to withdraw money. I will try to just bring home some dollar notes because it has never crossed my mind. Most people withdraw these bills, take pictures, and it's actually good to save memories like that.

---

Currently try to fill everywhere with water now.

---

I actually stopped replying to messages everywhere, even when my head was blowing up for those past few days; I kept getting messages. I'm not a fool, I used to respond everything even unpermitted and unsolicited calls from strangers, but not anymore.

I know I can never stop myself from helping because that's actually one of the few things I literally enjoy doing. But now, I want to really know I'm doing it for someone loyal, responsible, and absolutely grateful. You might help people believing you gave them the world but to them, it's meaningless.

Many people are not ready to focus so they just bombard you with questions to ease their anxiety or fear of failing. I have been there. I know what I'm saying and that's why I stopped texting others asking for help.

Now, the thing is I want to put worth on every word that come out of my mouth. When you become too available, people play with your worth. I have so much I want to do. Even my own siblings don't get the kind of attention I give to these strangers. This is because I'm genuinely happy to see people who want to legitimately get rich and help save people around them.

I'm so glad I studied every ilegendd thread, this man outlined every step he took even in threads they called "useless." I understood why he stopped trying too hard to make out time to teach people. I understand why people sell course and the normies are angry and saying they are gatekeeping but would never make efforts on their own to gain even a little experience.

The thing is, I want to teach but I won't be making the mistake of taking up people's problems. I have enough offline and online. People ask me how did I do this or that, but it's not just about these tips, because all of these things directly connect to my lifestyle. They all connect back to those years...

If I was to create a course now, I'm not just teaching people how to make thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars on the internet, I will be investing energy, love, and loyalty because I really want to see you win. I don't want to deal with people that will suck out my energy. That's why some of these foreigners charge thousands of dollars for mentorship and they have to be sure you have the kind of mentality they want.

Creating a course would mean teaching them how I think, behave, and how it applies to my results. And I know how obsessed I can be, I could become depressed when I feel I'm not 'helping enough."

---

But hey, I'm not there yet or ready for that. I'm still at that stage where I just don't want to ever go back to the bottom. Never! Never! God please! I'm at the stage where I should lock in more than ever before to ensure that no obstacle should be strong enough to weaken my progress.

Imagine if my brother's arrest happened when I didn't have money for internet subscription, not even N100. And did I tell you that one of our electric poles in our community fell down. This means I don't even know when our light is getting stable. Imagine if this happened when I didn't even have a penny to even eat biscuit? Just imagine.

This is the time to lock in and pray and hope I don't face any obstacles. I can only calm down a little when this particular channel (excluding others) has made at least $20k to $50k in pure profits. Until then, I'm doing exactly what ilegendd did, stay low-key, living like I have never seen N100 before, and make sure I don't overspend because I can afford to.

I also made it clear to my family that I won't make this mistake. Two of my little brothers (including the one that was arrested) aren't willing to calm down and learn from me (at least see how I make money off YouTube) and I haven't reached that effort where I beg people to win with me.

---

So, that's what I'm saying. Focusing on myself, if I fall down today, nobody would give a shít. Hopefully, I come here to celebrate the $20k and $50k profit when it happens. Amen.

I just need that solar and hopefully things go well. I can also make out more time for physics and other biz. Lord help me.

Need to fill this place with water.

Someone that's always reaching out to me for questions about YouTube is already selling a course. Anyways, none of my business but I'm grateful I no longer waste my time trying to share tips with time wasters. At least, he took action — I'm really happy. Worth it.

---

I feel better today. After fetching water, I will be going out to see where I can find this solar in this town. I want everything done before April.

I must also try to spend at least 1 or 2 hours studying physics. I have been feeling sick for days now.

---

If everything goes well, my target for YouTube next month (April) is to grow this channel to $5k to $10k. I was trying to upload a video yesterday but unfortunately I spent off.

I did something I haven't done in a long time. I uploaded the video this month about an hour ago, I normally upload videos from 4pm to midnight. I don't know how well the video is gonna perform. It's not looking good but it's part of the learning.

I experiment with everything. Talk later.

And oh, my viewers aren't on YouTube at this time. Damn! Anyways, I choose to experiment.

I just paid N499,999 for the solar. I wish myself the best as I bite more dust in the mission to eliminate poverty. I want to take this moment to thank God, fans, friends, and family. I just want to do this here — just me here alone acknowledging that I'm grateful.

I was literally so broke I couldn't afford airtime, I would never forget this. I would never forget the pain. That is why I'm always anxious. With God, wisdom, and critical thinking by myself, if I have steady power supply, I can easily ensure poverty is totally defeated.

My budget has been thoroughly decimated but I'm glad that I now have a super laptop and very soon a steady power supply. Thank God I don't watch TV — none of us do in this house. The kids don't need it.

I will be starting another channel soon and will document the process to help my siblings understand YouTube better. I like how my little royalties are motivating them.

My big sis told me she was proud of me about two days ago. She has always supported me. My sisters have always been my biggest supporters and I can't wait to beat poverty.

So help me, God. I hope everything goes well tomorrow.

And oh, today's my birthday. Wow. I don't know what to say but I just hope and pray for brighter and better days. I'm 24 . Like 24? Wow! I just hope for better days.

We brought the solar home yesterday. I just connected everything and it's charging my two laptops, phone, etc . Imagine the peace of not bothering when the light will come on. And I'm in the countryside surrounded by forest, I'm not bothering about whether I'm entrenching on my neighbor's place.

Thank you Lord. Now, I have been trying to get Claude AI pro with my bro's iPhone (which he claims it's his friend's but that's a stupíd lie).

Once I've got that. I'm going into extensive work 🙏🏽. I will also get a course on another business — it's something I know of, but there's no harm in seeing what the guy knows. It's N100k but I believe with the guy's mentorship, I can easily scale. With how shaky things can be, I'm not depending on any business. I'm not getting it now but in the nearest future.


So help me, God. I have a super laptop, light, depression, and all I need is good health and wisdom. Let's get to $100k. Let's destroy poverty completely..

It's a new month.

This guy I made this solar purchase from is trying to waste my time. After making me wait and delay my work, he didn't show up. I don't think I will be looking or responding to his messages because I don't need my phone close to my workspace today.

I hope the sun shines very brighter today so I can charge up the solar generator. For this channel, my goal is to raise the earnings to something close to 5 figures. I have seen the possibilities and it's mind-blowing. Honestly, I'm grateful to God Almighty.

March was full of issues but I still managed to somehow create just 3 videos but I still made 4 figures. This means this channel can definitely hit 5 figures. I'm already thinking deeply about the next niche with educational value to go into especially with this inauthentic content wave.

But I have some in mind already but two of them are seriously making me contemplate. But by God's grace, I will figure this out.

If I increase the level of stress I can endure, by God's grace, by the end of this year, I should have many many sources of income with the knowledge I have now. I'm also going into another business by the end of April, it requires money but I will take my gloves off and (as usual) go in believing I will always overcome in the end.

$100k is very feasible. The plan are all arranged in my head, it's so clear I can see them.

This channel I want to take to 5 figures has what it takes to generate $50k. The other ones are also big time money generators. The other businesses including writing are also money generators.

I just need light, stability, and I will deal with the stress. I'm not worried about my social life because to be honest, it's cooked already. I don't even go out but that's the price you have to pay.

I also have to create more time for physics, I don't like how I'm not giving it enough time. I should be doing more problem solving.

---

By God's grace, this month will be great. I have been on this journey for so long, I can't fail or have second thoughts. I have to learn to execute faster. I'm excited for the next businesses I will be building by God's grace and also anxious.

Let me go back to my diary and read the beginning.

Wow. April 4th will make this diary a year old. God is good. Honestly, I have never been used to stability. All my life, I had to work and work and look out for disasters so I was always anxious. Walking around and working like a time bomb, like death was around the corner.

Another crazy thing is how my whole life was documented on Nairaland. You won't believe it. I documented my whole life here on Nairaland, even back when I was in high school. Then, Nwaboi Apprenticeship, the pain, stress, and everything. I'm grateful that despite the obstacles, I was able to stick to the path I had in mind as a kid.

Even if I die today, all historians have to do is connect the dots using Nairaland.

Mann, it's truly amazing how much your life can change when you get very angry and demand a change. Honestly, I have to remind myself that these thousands of dollars I make monthly wasn't my reality when I lost my KDP accounts and other stuff.

It can only get better, I'm anxious but I'm hopeful for better days. I'm truly grateful to God for everything.

I have been using over 200 images lately (excluding the videos I get from pixabay) for each video, and this one is almost gonna get to 300 images. Oh boy.

I used about 317 images, and over 20 videos for this video. It's not even performing that well but the AVD is over 42 minutes. I will stick to shorter videos (30 minutes to around 1 hour) so I can produce videos faster. The little bit of consistency will change everything.

The Artemis mission has truly motivated me. Anything is possible. I will surely get close to 5 figures on this channel. We thank God. Let me work on the next script.

If I'm going to upload this video today, I need to seriously resist the urge to use more images and videos. I used over 317 images, just images on the previous video and it flopped.

There's no time filling any business my emotions. If I must make progress, I must think and execute fast sometimes without emotion.

I just finished generating 115 images and will be using less than 10 videos for this video. It's shorter.

If this light remain steady, I will round up in a few hours. I wish myself the best.

See you soon. I'm back to work.

I'm done. Mannn, I didn't study physics again today. About to start uploading. Ah! As usual, I didn't move until I finished. I wish myself the best.

SuperOnyi:

The video also flopped. Oh boy.

SuperOnyi:



The video also flopped. Oh boy.

I think the best way to not think too deeply about a flopped video is to have different channels and businesses. And that's what I'm working on.

Some of these gurus like to say YouTube isn't luck. Yes, I agree but inasmuch as it's not lucky and we have to study and understand the algorithm, there's still some crazy luck involved especially in niches that doesn't involve the demand, search, and supply process.

What I mean by that term "demand, search, and supply" is that people are not just demanding it but you can also leverage off trends. For example, with the Artemis II mission, many space exploration channels are leveraging on it without necessarily making it look like a trend.

I need more niches like that. The issue is that some of these channels have entire AI tools that create this video for them. And you know this is a game of numbers and competition. The reason most people could manage 10 channels at once was that they just focused on scripts and used a single image for a single video.

Phew! Mannnn, I'll figure this out. I'm honestly thinking deeply on how I will manage more channels plus other businesses alone. I can do this. Using AI is cool but using a tool to generate a full video just feels so... But oh well, the grind is real. Who cares as long as they are making money and giving the right info? They don't really care.

But that's not an excuse. I'm looking at a particular niche but the length is quite 'discouraging.' Very lengthy. I might close my eyes and go for it from my own angle. Then if nothing significant happens after 30 videos, I let it go.

God will see me through. I have a brain. And the date I set to start the other biz is fast approaching.

Oh well, mannn. I need to force myself to touch grass or I'm gonna end up working all day today just like yesterday.

Let me see what I can cook today and I will certainly give physics some attention today. I might set up another brand new channel this week.

No time for over researching! As long as there's a strong and never ending demand, I will be fine. Time to put my YouTube IQ to test again.

SuperOnyi:



The video also flopped. Oh boy.

Oh my God, the video is picking up. Ah! Let's hope it blows up big time. My head is blowing up, I have been doing research. I think my mind is made up on the plan. It requires rigorous research and editing (plus I would need real footage and pictures). It would also require a lot of understanding on how copyright works.

Mannn, I know it would seem hard at first but I will overcome. I'm doing this because from the comments, the audience seems to hate the fact my competitors are using AI images without specifying which of them are AI or real. The only problem would be voiceover. I would have done the voiceover myself but I'm yet to get a mic.

I have... Umm... Well, a naturally neutral accent. I just have to ensure I know the actual pronunciation of every word. And there's a high demand of channels that are entirely "human," these people think just because a channel uses AI to source for images and voice, that makes it entirely "AI slop."

I don't agree with that nonsense. But anyways, we're here to make money. I saw a channel that always adds "Human Voice/No ads" in their title. They don't turn on ads but they beg viewers to become members to support the channel.

I wonder how they make money, and the crazy thing is the guy (he claims to have a team of researchers from Australia to US to Canada) posts everyday! At least, from what I have seen recently. Perhaps, the membership subscription makes them a lot of money or maybe they are just doing it for the "good of society."

I'd love to do something like that too but that's if I have other source of income. And I think that's what's happening. And interestingly, they use very few images. I'd love to also use my voice too but that would be when I get a mic.

Phew! Let me do my daily pushups and squats. Didn't do them yesterday.

I'm done with my next script after many hours. I wish myself the best. Next up: sourcing for image.

For now, I will force myself to go outside and grab some drinks. I will buy everyone a drink including the kids. Praise be to God. And oh yes, Christ is risen.

Praise be to the Almighty!

Today will be a good day by God's grace. I'll start the image generation now. I hope we all fix the wire today. I wish myself the very best. Amen.

Edit: If we must make sure this channel surpasses its last month's earning, I must increase the upload rate and ensure each of them is a banger. I really do hope and pray everything goes well.

Right now, with everything I want to handle, I'd just say my goal for this month is between $5k to $10k because I have other things I want to go into.

I hope there's no obstacles like wrongful demonetization or low views. Let's get to work.
