I know my potentials, Lord. I should be making $100k in a month. Lord, guide my steps, save me from making the wrong move that will slow down, thwart, or hinder my plans. Lord help me.

Going BUSINESS MODE on KDP too, next year. I verified the AdSense.

I got a limited ad suitability on one of my videos. Just imagine! I was advised to delete the video and I did that immediately!

I know I should be grateful, I am, but I'm not happy with the results. I deserve more, and I will get it. Thank you Lord for everything. Just a few months back, I struggled to buy internet subscription.

Please help me navigate this path.

KDP

I know this is very small but it kinda made my day with all the YouTube demonetization, termination news I see on Twitter, and the low views I'm battling.

I know it's small but it's kind of poetic they have to keep paying me despite making me leave their platform FOR NOW. One of the OGs has made almost $10k in just ONE ACCOUNT. This is another reminder to save up because most of these royalties were all spent on courses, expenses, and so on.

People don't understand that even if it's just $30 you're saving every month, it could become $300k one day, just one day!

By God's grace, I'm not an extrovert, staying indoors, not going anywhere to spend this Christmas but I hope I do go around. Unfortunately it's likely not possible.

I want to send my grandma some money and try to go see her 🤦🏽‍♂️. She's been complaining about this. And do some expenses. I hope I start buying cheap wears for myself, I get so locked in, I don't even give a fck.

Ah, I'm all over the place. So the point is, these wicked guys are still paying me despite all the hell they made me go through. I published evergreen books, probably 7 to 8 active there since the others were blocked.

I don't even check this or think of Kdp anymore , that's why it's so funny. It's a very small amount but I remain grateful. My books make organic sales effortlessly without my interference. Remember that book I gave out for free here? I'm sure it has made more money than I made in years of working in a local bakery .

God help us all.

NiRfreak:
All these noise by you and your ilk is not necessary. You should see how I highlight their positive trait which if I see in other 29/30 ladies I won't hesitate to give them a chance....Their life still makes me believe there are still cool 29/30 ladies out there
.
If a man is sure of the family & upbringing a lady comes from, and meets a simple minded hardworking lady, of course 29/30 can still be attractive if the character and worldview is not messed up by current craze.
.
What I mean by worldview is...... view about life, children, sex, marriage, men, religion and success

Boss, ignore those childish people . I'm sure the both of them have been hit hard by the harsh comments of Nairaland gender war and taking it out on everyone. They're just wannabe feminists angry they were told they'd never have a husband.

You should keep your sisters away from them. They think reality is Nairaland and Twitter. I actually regret responding to them. Get close to your sisters and advise them, you can even play around with them. All the women in my life are very connected to me so I can easily advise them and they listen, and that includes the married sisters/ones.


Modified: Your sisters are definitely getting suitors, a lot of them. The problem is knowing the serious ones and the foolish men who are the complete opposite of feminism. One of my *****s married his wife when she was 29/30 and she was a virgin. He is a high school graduate.

In fact, my women are getting married every day. They are all college/university graduates. Do not allow social media BS fool you. Let them keep fanning the embers of stupidity.

Diamond098454:
NL men have sisters? Hmmmmmm I thought guys in NL don't have sisters and female relatives

@30 they must have had 1,2,3 or 4 EXS

Another dumb and stupid comment hiding behind sarcasm. Do you have any problems with the OP?

pocohantas:
I thought all NL guys sisters are married to rich nice men and driving limousine o. At least you are truthful. Your comrades are still living in their delusion.

Please don't worry about your sisters because marriage doesn't even benefit men. So I wonder which man you expect to be entrapped with them. They will be fine.

This is a very stupid take, ma'am. You think it's everyone that comes to Nairaland to play this dumb gender fight? You must be one of those feminists, learn to respect people or at least just shut up.

Jman06:
Honestly, at 29/30 yo, their chances of finding good husbands have become limited as no decent young man with his masculinity intact would want to wife any lady above 27yo.

Their best baits is to search from among widowers, single dads and polygamous men. That's the consequences of not setting one's priorities right and hooking up a decent man when they were much younger. They must have been deceiving themselves that they could get a man whenever they want to marry

You're not in touch with reality. Nairaland would make you believe nonsense until you touch grass. They said a lot about Igboland until I went to see for myself. Twitter banters makes you think all men think the same.

Social media would have you believe that virgins don't exist no more, until you touch grass.

You're not alone. But you know what's sad? I can't type now but it's sad. The powers that be are using these lUnatics and lesbians parading as feminists to destroy the concept of marriage. People still marry but a lot of us are losing the scope of what marriage actually is, a lot of us do not even think of marriage anymore or give it the reverence it once had.

Once the devil wants to destroy something, he find a dUMb bItCH with no brain. It hurts the most when you actually have sisters that this virus might affect. I have sisters, female friends, and daughters. I have women that want me but I don't find relationship appealing.

These Nigerian "feminists" are destroying the one thing that draws a man to a beautiful woman — feminity. You might not see the result of this social media madness now but give it time. It's slowly germinating... That is why I keep preaching about the stupidity of man-hating that has been disguised as feminism.

Nigerian females and males have screwed up mentality and only time can tell if they can stand each other. Sometimes, I felt sorry for my son and daughters, strong men created the peace we enjoy today, until the weak men and women who want what they never worked for came around.

AllBlack:
First, are you married?
If yes to the first question, Do your friends call your wife by her name?

So, you didn't read the part she claimed they were all close to each other. The wife was simply trying to protect her place, nothing else. She just wasn't comfortable that another woman FELT close enough to her husband to refer to him by her name.

Another angle is that she felt the girl didn't say it with "enough" respect. If I knew you before marriage, I will keep calling you by your name unless we're not that close.

Sometimes, I question the "friendship" women keep. They know themselves and what they're capable of.

Why do you even have cultists in your contact list? Serves you right!

Wow! Mr. Seun, I must commend the wonderful work you're doing here. At some time, it seemed as though Nairaland was just abandoned.

But with all the wonderful features plus this great opportunity you keep rolling out these days, I feel compelled to always come here to spend some time here even though I'm often busy.

MORIERA:
Just wondering if you still remember me
Good evening

Not sure, boss. Good morning.

SuperOnyi:



Why do I feel sad? I made over $200 last week with just a few videos. In fact, with just 3 videos and only 1 actually surpassed 10k views. I said 3 because the other views before monetization don't matter. They don't pay for that. I should be happy, I'm grateful, fúck that ill feeling.

My plan for this week is 10 videos. It should be triple that but let me do it like this. God help me.

I wasn't able to upload yesterday because sleep knocked me out despite my efforts. I don't sleep up to 3 hours and I haven't been doing so for so long. I woke up 1 to 2 am and continued working.

God help me, I'm so hard on myself. But my life must change.

---

Done with the video I was working on yesterday. I really hope I get 1 to 3 videos ready today. Or at least 1, or 2. No more feeling bad .

Soooo grateful to God. Thank you God. I'm nothing without God.

God is great! Although, I only check in dollars but if dollar was N1,000, that means we have generated over 200k in revenue in 14 days with the low views. It can only get better.

This is not where I want to be, but I remain eternally grateful to God. It's a gradual process. It took me sleepless nights, anxiety, blood, sweat, and everything to get this. It might be SMALL but it's EVERYTHING.

And these videos are still generating cents daily. Thank God. I should check my KDP dashboard one of these days . Now, I need prayers and hope to make sure my share after tax arrives safely in my account.

Tinubu tax is around the corner too but I will see...

Two weeks to go, and it can only get better.

$268.24/$50,000
$268.24/$1,000

If God agrees, I might jump to $1,000 this month. If I don't, we go again next month.

Going to the marketplace to see if I can print my nin card and verify my Google AdSense. The next process will be getting a dollar account.

The views are still down. I don't get more than 150 views lately but I'm going to keep uploading no matter what. I'm 20 videos in. So my target is 200 videos and I need 180 more.

The plan is mastery not temporary success so I'm locked in. The thing about YouTube is you can make $10k the first month, and another person would struggle to make anything tangible, and suddenly make $20k in his third month as long as he remains consistent and his channel is safe.

So I'm staying consistent and studying everything. $200 is enough to keep me and my family living low in the countryside.

---

Still waiting for YouTube to wrap up last month. I don't think we made more than $60 last week. I remain grateful to God. I was literally so broke I couldn't afford airtime — this was just a few months ago. It can only get better.

Slow and steady wins the race because YouTube algorithm is weird. If I pile up videos and just one blows up, the others would start gaining traction.

The algorithm sees us different, my CTR and AVD have been so awful. I have tweaked and tweaked my scripts and thumbnails, it's tiring. It's like my videos aren't been pushed to the right people.

But anyways, we keep pushing.

Now, imagine this... 16 people died in this shooting, I haven't even been following any news but I know about it. That's how much these guys value their people's lives. Over 200 people were murdered in one night in Benue State and it was "just a farmer-herder crisis" to your so-called leaders. Like these people aren't humans,like they do not deserve to live...

We see things like this daily in Nigeria, and people have normalized it. It's deeply disheartening.

Oh well, the views have been very low these days but I still remain grateful because I'm building a brand and estate. The fact that I get to achieve whatever I put my mind into is enough to give glory to God Almighty.

The good thing about YouTube is that, these videos may pick up and surprise me in the future. My target is 200 videos and I hope to make over $1k this month or N10M.

If I don't, we keep pushing #BossSmile. With these revenues, I can literally start another channel. I want to try niches with a crazy loyal fan base.

For now, let me build this one. I remain grateful to God. YouTube literally gave me the easiest $100 I have ever made in my life . And it's not stopping.

Let's see the growth of this channel in six months, I have to think long-term. This is a business that can pay me for eternity. I must not allow FOMO disrupt my journey. I'm not missing out.

One video can literally change everything. I'm doing great. I have to verify my Google AdSense asap this week.

Streetinvestor2:
Thr anger is esn stopped the evil agenda they had for SE.They could not penetrate SE with thr government backed terrorist. Kanu saw ahead of them

I was thinking ESN wasn't widespread in BiafraLand until I came here and stayed for months for the first time. My mother told me how these terrorists terrorized and destroyed their farms until ESN came around.

I was surprised she'd think positively of Nnamdi Kanu because her father was murdered right before Biafra was declared. He wasn't found after the different pogroms that led to the declaration of Biafra.

So, she grew up mostly as an orphan, and that experience still traumatizes her even if she doesn't say it. She said the peace they enjoyed was all because of MNK. I was surprised these terrorists could come this far. This town is literally deep inside of Igboland.

Ah, this week hasn't been good ! I hope God rewards my efforts. 3 videos so far. Why the heck is the YouTube algorithm playing with me? This particular video I uploaded this morning has 11.6 percent CTR, but suddenly the AVD started fluctuating. The CTR was as high as 20 percent!

God, please... I need at least $1K this month. Help me Lord! I'm grateful for the ones you've done but we can do greater things.

I hope this is another banger.

If it's not, we keep pushing. Once I'm done filling this drum with water, I move to the next video. The algorithm isn't friendly to anyone, it doesn't move based on emotions.

Lord help me, maybe I'm too hard on myself and it's normal to have a poor performing video but I need each of my videos having 10k views. My last video still flopped and it's normal. But I can't accept "normal." This is the plan now:

1. Use less images. 20 to 30
2. Keep working on improving AVD. Claude AI says mine is good but it's bad for me.
3. Increase my CTR too.
4. Keep uploading more videos .
5. Looking forward to $200 a day and $1k a day .


Lord please help me. Let the algorithm favor me. I need to leave the trenches. Matter of fact, let me finish this video now. I will upload 3 videos today with few images .

Another idea that has been in my head for a long time just popped up again. I will start posting 3 community post (mostly polls) every single day! The plan is to remain on their screen, never leaving, I want them to always look forward to my videos and posts.

I'm just trying to build up the community posts so I can always use it to share my videos with the people. If I do this consistently for 3 months, I'm getting additional audiences for my videos.

By God's grace, each post would be themes in my videos.

As for my fellow hustlers asking me to "guide" them or share my YouTube channel, I will ignore the latter. But as for the former, I'm trying to build myself.

We all know it makes no sense if I ignore all of these to focus on helping people. I'm trying my best to not let my kindness hurt me even more. The best I can do is to direct you to get a course (not mine!) or simply go on YouTube. There are a lot of people trying to get me to "guide" them, I can't do that when I haven't even guided myself.

Imagine just one person guiding dozens or hundreds of people. Ah!

Amazon has taught me a bitter lesson. No matter how much I make from my intellectual properties, I want to make sure it's in my hands first before I believe it's mine. Until then, I have to keep firing so even if I decide to "guide" anyone in the future, I already have a lot of knowledge and returns.

I do long videos and I rarely sleep for 3 hours especially these days. And I still don't get to upload daily as planned. I don't go out, in fact, I haven't been taken my bath right now. That's how busy it gets. I do everything on my phone.

I'm trying not to ignore anyone because I know how it hurts as a hustler. I have been in this journey all of my life. I can't act like I've gotten there when I'm not even into the league.

Anyways, man... God help me, Lord.

lovediehatelive:
Bro, I'm following your diary thread and I must commend your efforts!

Keep it up. Just wondering, which niche are you into on tube

Deleted.

Soooo grateful to God. Thank you God. I'm nothing without God.

I need to be more grateful to God. I remember when N20k was my biggest wages in a month and I had to starve myself. Now, I make N100k in a day and I need more and yes I deserve more but I'm grateful to God.

My last video flopped, I hope to get back on my feet with the next one. But I need to be more thankful, man. Honestly, I'm grateful to God.

I need to accelerate my productivity. Creating videos with 70 to over 100 images wouldn't help me in the journey to uploading 2 to 3 videos daily. My competitors do that and even more. And most of them don't use much images like I do.

This is what I'm gonna do:
1. 1 video with enough images.
2. Second video with 30 images but the first minute would be properly represented with videos and images.
3. Third video with 20 images but I will make sure the first minute is properly represented.

This way, it's easier to get a viral video and show the algorithm and fans I'm consistent. I'm going with the third option today as I spent a lot of time helping my momma and doing some house chores.

---

At this point, I'm focusing on my business. I see 15 years olds crushing this hustle and my little bro is here dumb instead of coming closer to learn. I plan to get him a good phone but... I will talk about this later because that's not my problem now.

---

We made $196.99 in 7 days (Dec 1 to 7). Thank you Lord.

196.99/$50,000
196.99/$1000 (first goal)

What about the wife, you fool?


Edit: The dead man was a big loser. Sex isn't food.

Lord, I gave my heart and soul into this hustle, I swallowed the pain like an Igbo man conquering akpu and egusi but now I'm throwing up this garri with no sugar because this ulcer is too much to bear.

I cannot fail, I cut my wrist and used my blood to write this blueprint.

I cannot fail, I used the laws of physics to convert my thoughts into actions even as reality threw avalanches at me.

I cannot fail, I don't know any other fun better than working. I cannot fail, my eyes bled as I stay glued to the screen sitting on the floor with no results for years.

I cannot fail, I came from the rock bottom of the gutter, and on the journey to becoming one of the toughest and greatest self-taught "illiterate" with no formal education.

I cannot fail, let them watch the rise of a man with nothing to lose.

To be continued...

Glory to Jesus! This video started out poorly, only to suddenly make me proud. My best performing video YET!

No slowing down, I must upload another video today, so help me God.

Broooo, I was trying to finish the video but my eyes were so heavy. I knew I was cooked because it's hard to fight it off. I gave in and decided to sleep for just an hour, I even set an alarm. It didn't work. I woke around 2:00 a.m. and checked out my new obsession — YouTube studio.

YouTube had already updated my December 1st earning. Brooo, we made over $18 our first day of getting monetized! Damn, I prayed for times like this.

I know $18 is nothing but it means everything to me. This came from months of planning, I had to start literally afresh this year. I lost a lot this year, man. $16 came from the new video, makes me wonder what would happen if I got another 30k views video. If I could make that amount without tweaking the ads, with just a few views (probably 2k to 3k views), imagine how much we could make from 100k views! Oh my God!


I always knew YouTube was gold! My prayer is to keep getting these views, Lord. I plan to make N50M within 6 months from this estate.

Lord help me, keep me away from these obstacles please. It's time for me to eat the fruit of my labor. Once I'm done cooking, I will finish up the video.

---

Working has literally become a part of me, I can't do without it. Am I smoked? Hopefully not, Lord save my debased soul.

---

I also noticed something crazy. Usually I think 80% watching around 0:30 mark was the best. But turns out I have been doing too great. This recent video? The data shows only 57 percent of people watched around 0:30 mark. I swear it scares me. What? YouTube still pushed it. The Average Percentage Viewed is around 40% and it's getting pushed.

When I thought it wasn't performing well, it has 2.6% CTR — extremely poor — I gave up and moved on. But when I checked hours later like Claude AI advised, it had pushed to 6.7 percent. It's currently at 5.3%. I see the graph line leveling and I wish it could keep going higher.

---

My next video is over 30 mins, and with the data from the last video, I'm seriously hoping and praying it performs. The YouTube algorithm can be wicked. Even the old channel is picking up! Ah!

---

Target is $50,000 (I feel scared typing this but God will do it for me)

$18.24/$50,000.

I love how I got 'monetized' December 1st. Getting a full "salary." God is great! Lord, my target for this month is N5M. Is it feasible?

Time shall tell and I hope it's in my side.

I keep saying this about her — a woman called Nigeria — and the evil simps didn't care, they only wanted their turn to insert everything they can find in every hole in her body.

When I talk about black people, people think I'm racist or full of hatred for the same "race" which the womb that carried me for 20 months came from. But it is from the place of love, pain, and regrets seeing how these great people have chosen backwardness and mediocrity.

These politicians know what to do, they see these problems, but they chose to turn the other side while everything burns. As long as the money flows, as long as the business is still making some returns that can go round, they're fine. Why worry when it's easier to send their wonderful kids abroad than fix their mess?

Are other countries perfect? Obviously, no. Perfection in and of itself is a lie — that is why your 9 could be my 6. People would always find problems in everything. However, what we are facing here are existential problems. Problems we can actually solve.

Even I, SuperOnyi, in all my naked foolishness would never allow Mama Hassana to become this wise in a stupid way. Why would I allow the same woman whose mammary gland keeps my rod as hard as the heart of this wonderful politicians go astray? Why would I?

But these Nigerian politicians do not care, it has been embedded in the nature of Nigerians to remain nonchalant as long as the situation "benefits" them. Sadly, not many people strongly believe things have to change or that the change starts with them.

They might say it, but lack the will as strong as rigor mortis to become the change they need. Would things ever change? I don't know because even though SuperOnyi can see through a woman's cloth and immediately know if those mammary gland can do greater things, he can not look into the heart of Nigerians.

It never ends well every time he does that, Ojukwu was right about deNigerianizing ourselves. We scream about how the "white people" are neocolonizing us but lack the ability to sit down and actually think without them thinking for us.

Nigeria has been battling these security issues, we all screamed, that heartless Igbo man sitting in Sokoto prison screamed louder and cursed, but it took the voices of white men thousands of miles away for our "leaders" to actually show "real concerns."

Real concerns? Maybe for their beloved people or their milking cow? Well, what does SuperOnyi know?
