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.

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 🙏🏽.

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."

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.

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.

What ever you saw there, is it not better you know about it than been ignorant of it.

Be like you wan train another man pikins abi?

It's so sad that despite the hardwork redpillers did on Nairaland, a lot of these men are still extremely fóólish. Why would anyone say he would never demand for true loyalty from a woman that you'd spend the rest of your life with?

I always make it clear I'm very masculine and I don't give a hoot about social media feminism. I will check your phone, know your parents, character, and even your lineage before giving you a baby. If you don't qualify, I let you go! It's better I'm hurt for knowing the truth than living with lies.

Every woman that knows me knows I have extreme trust issues. I tell them this so they know they woul never automatically gain my trust. Trust and loyalty is earned, and that's why I have few friends.

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!

Nigeria is getting too popular for the wrong reasons . We don't want the kind of attention when we don't even know how to use it. Just this single post by Trump would push a lot of people to do more research on Nigeria. It's unfortunate we don't realize how powerful Nigeria could have been, if we accepted Biafra, Niger Delta, Oduduwa, Arewa, etc, and we all worked as a team like the UK has been doing.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

That's why your country is where it is today. I don't know what they did or watched the video but you willingly broke the law and you're trying to beg your way out? Some even do that with bribe, isn't that the corruption we are talking about?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

You know what's sad? We are all expecting "world leaders" to help fix this. This man needs to be careful too, Nigeria doesn't belong to politicians alone — there are puppets benefiting from this evil madness too.

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.

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.

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.
