Writing is a whole lot different from making a YouTube video.

A lot of resources actually go into making one. One would need a decent camera (I could trust my RN9 PRO) for this task tho, a nice table or surface, excellent lighting and lighting equipment, a tripod and a gimbal, a good mic too, some mad video editing skills and of course support.

I have seen a few people try starting up and I commend their efforts, I really do but I would not want a video of such quality (both video and sound) out there. I believe what's worth doing is worth doing right.

I trust my grasp of the English language and presentation skills but I do not trust my video shooting skills. Quite frankly, they're nowhere near my photography skills. My video editing skills are also sub par. For now it's an area I don't want to venture into till I get the hang of it.

I have hit 700 views in July and August making up a total of 1400 so I'm researching on more topics to write on in my spare time.
I like this, "whatever is worth doing is worth doing well." I'm also the type that wouldn't dabble into anything if I wasn't going to give it my all. I like to do anything I do like a pro. I once did a presentation on neural networking to one of my professors. I got a standing ovation and felt I had bested everyone else. The man merely smiled and said; "that's good enough. But good enough isn't perfect, and if it's not perfect, it's not good enough. Always attempt everything you do like a pro would."

Let me address some of your points.

First of all there is a lot of fun in learning.

That you don't know should not stop you from trying. You can start with your smartphone outside, something casual, but have a script, either one you are reading from or have memorized and just deliver.

Trust me, the best Youtubers all started from somewhere.

You also have to consider the value of the knowledge you have. I know it will seem like what you know is simple but trust me it's not. I have been following you for a while and I still don't understand anything. Partly because I'm a bit busy and only need a phone to access the internet and partly because I can't read Russian grin

You should consider branding yourself and your hobby. This tiny thing you are doing can go BIG. Who knows maybe one day you can have your own smartphone brand and build better phones for the Nigerian market. There's no limit bro.

Think about what you are doing more deeply and dream bigger every day.

Get your own domain name and hosting.
Get a YouTube channel.

Twitter page

Get someone to design a nice logo and favicon. Do keyword research and write on things people are searching for and educate them on things they need to know.

The tech niche is super big with huge potential. Potential to enlighten people and make a lot of money at the same time.

I can help you build a professional blog, at a fee of course, and also guide you through the process, at a fee course grin

Otherwise you can also learn on your own.

Depends on you really

Describing the zero 8, "They finally did it" was the video title from one of them. Meaning that they knew those phones weren't worth it but they kept recommending then anyway.
Good job xiaomi, good job xiaomi fans for fighting for the betterment of all

You think they don't know? You think Henry or Fisayo uses Camon 15 as his daily driver? Do you think the marketers who can afford quality will settle for it?

but why do you refer to tech reviewers as marketers?? What do people like you benefit from trying to belittle and bring down a fellow Nigerian that's trying to do something good in the tech space. If you want him to review more of the phones you love then supply him with the review units so that he doesn't have to rely on those provided by Tecno.

Where did I refer to YouTube reviewers as as marketers? Read. Take a deep breath and settle down, then read.

I just watched Zach (JerryRigEverything) tear down both variants (Snapdragon and Exynos) of the S20 Ultra and he called out Samsung for trying to deceive customers as well as charging the same amounts for both phones.

In terms of performance, the Exynos version was closer to last year's S10 sef.

If it is Nigeria, trust Nigerians, they'll say you're spoiling their hustle.

I've watched it, the performance is far apart. If I'm buying a Samsung flagship it's the Snapdragon or another brand with the Snapdragon.The same issue happened with the S20 series.
Mediocrity needs to be fought against even if it means spoiling the hustle. Just like saying scammers should not be arrested because that's their hustle. May Nigeria get better, lots of ignorant people in the land.

I am honestly hoping that there is a GCam port for the phone (Zero 8 ). I can't wait to see it as part of the adverts.

E go too make sense.

I'll be here ask them if GCam is nonsense then.
