Mannn, I actually finished late night to midnight. I downloaded the video with 4k resolution (because I was experimenting as usual) and used handbrake to compress the size.

By the time, I began to upload it on web YouTube studio, it was already around 1AM. I didn't even know when I slept off . I woke up and it was done uploading and checking for restrictions. It was already too late because my audience aren't online by that time and I'm not taking any chances.

I did this in one take (sitting my butt down for tens of hours as I have been doing for months) and I'm not going to upload when my viewers aren't online.

I do hope and pray YouTube rewards my efforts. Also, I seriously want to go into a niche where I can get as millions of views on one video even if the RPM might be lower.

God help me because time waits for no man.

I honestly do not understand how these other channels get crazy views and their thumbnails aren't even that enticing . One thing I need to be more conscious about is my thumbnail. I need to see 10 to 15% CTR, and I will keep improving daily. So help me, God.

Also, I think I have to reduce the urge to use more and more images and videos. Using over 350 videos and images is... Phew!

And I also want to start showing my face using my laptop's camera. I hope that shows YouTube bot and the audience that these videos are created by a real human and a real team.

It's crazy how we only uploaded 3 videos for this channel and it still made 4 figures. But this month alone, we are going to upload our 3rd video and it feels like progress is slow. If we can get $500 to $1000/day at least 4 times this month, that would be really helpful in getting to 5 figures.

I just had an epiphany. I realized that it seems the YouTube algorithm kind of changed. I know the algorithm always supports consistency but it seems recently YouTube is massively rewarding consistency.

And I haven't been that consistent. Last month, I only uploaded 3 videos on this channel I'm trying to take to 5 figures 🤦🏾‍♂️. I faced a lot of obstacles last month and I keep praying I don't face any obstacles again.

Now, I have a plan. I often upload very long videos — over an hour. Sometimes close to 2 hours. I'm reducing that. I'm sticking to 30 to 40 or 40 something minutes. Maximum would be 50 something minutes. I would only give above 1 hour when I'm sure the video will do well — maybe a part 2 or a series.

This would allow me produce more videos, I will have to find a way to create my script in a way that I can fix everything in. The urge to always outdo myself doesn't help too. I'm always trying to deliver the best and forget that most of my competitors do not even have time for that. Yet, the comments section are always praising them. Very funny.

I know the RPMs would be low but consistency is the key. I can't keep k*lling myself to "impact" the viewers positively while videos (half as good as mine) are getting pushed. Damn!

30 minutes means I can do about 100 or less images and then videos.

So help me God. I have to go, it's raining heavily and the wind is so powerful it might even take off our roof.

Let's create and upload a video in less than 24 hours. And I'm still gonna cook and do other stuff humans do, so help me God. I'll let you know if I succeeded because I haven't even written the script.

And oh, the video I uploaded yesterday flopped. You know what's surprising? It's how I uploaded 3 videos last month but by this time, the channel already surpassed what it has made for April so far. Everything will be fine.

Let's get very consistent!

I started so late because I was cooking and the kids had to eat. I think I started around 2 to 3 PM and I was already uploading the video by 1 to 3 AM. And then I slept off . I decided to take the risk and upload the video just a couple of minutes ago even though my audience won't be online soon.

What will be will be.

The video is picking up slowly but the people are complaining about the voiceover. First time I decided to use a British accent for this channel .

But broooo, I'm mindblown by the CTR. I really hope this blows up big time. I think the topic really played a critical role. It's safe to say I now know the sub niche to feed them. It's something I have been doing and I actually started the channel with it.

I really hope everything goes well. I want this channel to really make 5 figures CTR is at 11.4% last time I watched.

Oh God, I pray this goes even more viral . God keep this channel. So grateful and thankful I went ahead to finish the video despite how sleepy and tired I was. It's less than 40 minutes. Actually less than 37 mins.

By God's grace, I must upload a video tomorrow. My cousin says they're coming back because they need to share our ancestral lands amongst us. This will definitely suck away my productivity , I honestly do not care about that but I have no choice.

I have to be there as the "first son."

My new laptop just froze twice this morning. I don't know what exactly caused that but I was compressing a video with handbrake and decided to access my YouTube channel with the new laptop. I didn't want to do this but I said since my other laptop refused to connect to WiFi and I wanted my phone to be free, I will have to use the new laptop.

I wanted to separate all of my future channels in case things go wrong, but I guess I just have to pray and hope nothing goes wrong.

I will upload this video I have been sleeping and waking up on this morning.

Anyways, I won't allow the theft that happened today and this laptop thing ruin my mood.

I'm so grateful today. What happened April 9 (right after I said getting $500 to $1500 twice or four times this month would really help get to 5 figures).

I hope everything goes well, I need the money in my account to call it mine. And by God's grace, my future channels will take us to $100k a month! Amen!

Just $20 short of $500. Wow! Wow! I'm so grateful to God for the knowledge, even though I don't have time talking to these "gurus," my years of knowledge on YouTube is starting to pay off.

Thank you Lord. I haven't had time for physics but I'm glad my sleepless nights didn't go to waste.

$1000 next 🙏🏽.

My momma just came back, we went to get here and carry the stuff she came back with. My little bro literally stepped on a snake, so glad nothing happened and I saw the snake. Yeah, I let it go. Not taking any chances and besides it didn't strike my bro. Family safety first.

The video I uploaded about almost 17 hours ago picked up and is doing well. So grateful to God. I didn't work today, my cousin came back today too. I have to try to make time for my businesses and Physics. I didn't study again today. So angry, I kept fighting back sleep. And now, I don't feel sleepy again 🤦🏾‍♂️.

I need a timetable. I wanted things to get more stable so I can arrange my schedules. Bro, there's so much to do, so many ways to crush poverty. I absolutely believe $100k is very possible. I just need to fix my time and double down. No days off.

My cousin reminded me the importance of learning to treat myself better. I haven't had the time to buy clothes or all of that stuff for myself. I have been saying I will do it but I don't really care because this is me.

I will learn to do that. I keep saying this.

I noticed my views spike up once I upload a new video and when it goes down, it makes my views data look so disorganized. But we keep building. I can't wait to build up more evergreen channels and capitalize on trends.

I will start working on another video real soon. Thank God.

I just posted the video I have been working on, and it's not doing well. Onto the next one! And I have decided to NEVER listen to some of the critics offering advice just because they are viewers (probably one time viewers).

This is beginning to get on my nerves. Honestly I love the fans but some people are just there dropping advices when they won't even watch your next stuff.

I will go back to what the algorithm pushes. I already have viewers that love a certain stuff and I will keep doing it hhe way it works!

F*ck advices that ruin my work!

I woke up and found out that this channel was demonetized. Phew! This is what I have been hoping won't happen. And any channel connected to it would also get demonetized.

I won't send an appeal because nobody — even creators bigger than me — has beaten that. You have to make your post on Twitter get the attention of big YouTubers first. And the worst part? Even faced YouTubers are getting hit.

All the earnings will be seized. I just wish they paid me for this month. I will get to work and won't let this crush my spirit.

I'm still grateful to God. Imagine if I didn't focus on taking that channel to 4 figures, imagine if I focused on responding to all of these people (from WhatsApp to Nairaland to emails, and so on) instead of building myself.

I'm still grateful to God. With God by my side, I will make an unbelievable comeback. I wish myself the best.

I won't allow this to ruin or weaken my motivation and progress.

I can't stop thanking God, man . Good thing is I can appeal now but there's been a massive demonetization wave this week. So I can wait for 90 days and then reapply . Painful but the good part is I have been looking for a niche I can start without AI like I used to do.

I might also get a camera. I will start the course for the other business next week by God's grace. I know and believe I will bounce back.

I saw a thread where people were doubting it was possible to make $70k as a Nigerian on social media. Brodda shaggi says he does and people are still doubting . Anyways, it's good news for us — zero competition. Even me, a small creator know how much I make and would make once I employ more people.

I already spoke to my little brother: while I wait for July to reapply, I will be getting him a phone and he will manage the new accounts. By God's grace, everything will be fine.

There's this YouTube niche that's also literally storytelling plus other craziness . It will be weird for these guys that claim to be YouTube expert but started 2023 because of the word "YouTube automation." I swear I'm seriously thinking of dedicating one channel to it. The only issue is you have to be using social media 24/7 and I suck at that.

Another 80k is about to leave my pockets for the new box I've been setting up. He sent me a link of YouTube videos of almost 4 hours so I can do the stuff. But unfortunately, my health issue got bad and I asked that he helps me fix that. I'm honestly underpaying but it's better than telling someone to do something for "the sake of God or friendship."

The guy's worth tens of thousands of dollars but I love doing things the right way.

I still have the mic to pay for. And it's over 113k naira . I will not allow fear of going broke to hold me back from bringing my ideas into reality.

---

You know what's crazy? When I was more broke than I am now, one thing that stopped me from executing my plans or ideas was MONEY. Many people had the opportunity to farm these ideas but some ignored me because I was "nobody" and the smart ones took that opportunity.

---

Even now I have so many ideas I feel like crying, I'm only a Martian. So many ideas.

---

On AI? I realize how powerful AI is, and there's so much money to be made. The scammers aka yahoo boys that knows what I know now would be counting millions of naira everyday! No jokes!

Honestly, I have to go all in.

---

There's so much lies about how YouTube is bringing down faceless YouTube. And even if it's through, I swear it won't affect the big guys. I mean some people might be following an "influencer" online, not knowing they are generated by AI 😭. Brooo, dudes are making millions of dollars with AI and how's my conscience screwing me up?

Honestly, I have never been a fan of AI but I'm good at it naturally. Yes, I have used AI to make some pennies but it needs to go. The future... Mannn, fúck this! I can't stop thinking about humanity while others gather everything to themselves — and that's exactly what these big companies are thinking.

Elon initially said AI was dangerous but he's now pushing it. It's now "if I don't do it, someone else will." And at this point, I'm saying the same thing but be rest assured that I will make sure that even as I make money, it's for the good of humanity.

I can't wait to get back to my feet. I haven't been feeling well. My health. God. But as long as I hit my legs on the pedal, I'm accelerating.

Honestly, I'm grateful to God . Imagine this happened when I was extremely broke. I know I'm still broke but with the ideas I have now, I know I can bounce back with the little pennies I'm spending now. When I was broke, I had so much practical ideas and nobody believed until I began to execute them.

My next projects really scares me, on God. But if it doesn't scare you then it ain't big enough. May God help me, man.

With faith in myself and God, I will be changing the title of this thread because I came, I saw, and I conquered! I have once again proven that anything is possible. And I will do it again dead or alive.

As I change this title, I'm also changing every bad thing in my life and elevating to a greater dimension. So help me, God.

The fact remains: I proved Amazon wrong and made sure they still pay me even to this day even if it's pennies.

I just changed the title: The Journey Of An Introverted Loser To Becoming A Millionaire [Part II]


To:

The Journey Of An Introverted Martian To Making $100k MONTHLY [Part III]


I know it will be hard, challenges will come (like the one I'm facing now), but I pray and hope I overcome them and become even stronger. So help me, God. Amen.

Time to eat and go to the clinic.

Another 55k just left my pocket because of my health. Phew! It's okay, I will be fine. I haven't been able to do anything, I don't know if I documented that I already got a table and chair. That's where I will be working.

It's almost like electricity is now a thing of the past now. What a country!

Don't know what to say. I will let you know when I'm done writing the first script because I'm not using AI again. Don't get it twisted, I might still use AI in the other business. Let's see how it goes.

Talk later, man. Not feeling good.

@Seun, why exactly was my diary moved to Nairaland General Section? I thought this was supposed to be my privacy? I blame myself for trusting this forum with my privacy. Who's the forsaken person that moved a diary to another section?

Edit: I guess I will be moving my diaries to my blog and to a more private diary. Not like I'm making a penny here.
