  • Hey there
    On this video, I talk about the struggles of growing as an African RUclips content creator at the gorgeous EL&N London café at the Mall of Africa. I also reveal how much RUclips paid me in the first week of getting monetized. Making money online is big, but is RUclips worth it for African RUclipsrs?
    Khanyi ❤️

      Apologies for the delayed response. For some reason RUclips had blocked your comment. Thank you so much. I appreciate your feedback and compliments.❤️

    I'm from Oklahoma, United States of America. I am not a content creator. I love your videos. I see your videos more as a travel kind of blog. I have always wanted to visit South Africa so I think it is awesome that you post about it so people like me can see what it really is like out there.

    So unfair, I've been following your channel for a year now and I love every single one of your videos, some have even contributed to my vision boards and 8/10 times I suggest places in my friend groups it's because of you😅. Hopefully more people catch on, your content is absolutely good🎉🎉🎉

    Just hang in there and keep pushing, I publish when a video is ready to avoid burn out and I don't a have publishing schedule . also key is to make video's that are watched outside SA to improve your CPM, I usually hit the minimum payout threshold before mid month which is okay for me as a small creator in SA, though I take time to upload new videos and not being consistent.

    • @KhanyiMamba
      @KhanyiMamba  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks for your advice. Good point about burnout. I realised early on that trying to have an upload schedule while doing this in my spare time is a huge challenge. I enjoy filming when I really have something to film and am not just trying to create content. Thank you for your support and all the best with your channel too ❤️

    Real estate: you are good at it.
    There is a vidoe you did at the sandron design event. The style you were interviewing designer there, it was great.
    But your RUclips channel is great i general.

    I live in London and follow you. I think you need to specialise in a particular topic/ subject. I enjoy the ones that include shopping/ Sandton/ restaurants. I have been tempted to approach you for information.
    Find a subject that you enjoy. Best of luck.

    Your content is amazing , thank you for making this video. I’ve also been struggling to breakthrough on RUclips , you asked a very important question :do you compromise to get the views or wait until people catch on , it got me thinking.🤔 Love your content.

      @KhanyiMamba  4 месяца назад +1

      This video was therapeutic for me. After I made it, I completely let go of the financial aspect. I don’t worry about whether a video will do well or not anymore. I’m just enjoying making content the best I can, with no pressure, and I’m having lots more fun with it now. I’m unfortunately not willing to compromise just for views. I will make the content I enjoy and those who find value in it, like yourself, will watch 🙂 All the best to you with your channel - keep going! Thank you for the support ❤️

    Greetings Khanyi! Your content is great please dont give up! I see from your videos that the biggest views came from real estate tours. I understand that that may not be your thing and that you may have a 9 to 5.
    If you decide that you want to go into paid consultation for people looking to move to the country, please let us know. There are many of us looking for sincere, knowledgeable people as we plan our moves ♥

    Hi. I am from SA too but not living there anymore, burI love your content I have been following you for over a year. It's difficult getting noticed and reaching subscribers and if you take a break like you did, it's even worse. Just carry on with what you're doing,I love your content!
    Please do me a favour if you can, i.e. do a video of Melrose Arch with the Christmas lights. I would love that! SA is in my ❤️ forever.
    All the best!
