  • Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
  • A viral cocktail of soaring unemployment, better broadband speeds, and a hungry online audience, has given three Ghanaian social media content creators their start.
    Social Media Money goes behind the filters of Martina Dwamena 'Asantewaa', Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo 'Kwadwo Sheldon' and Paa-Kwesi Adapoe, to find out the highs and lows of making money online.

    During the pandemic where there was lockdown, as a nurse and the stress that came with the job, it was Kwadwo Sheldon who was my greatest companion. Up to date, I can’t go a day without visiting his channel. I’m not surprised he’s been featured on BBC. KUDOS my guy and the head is big for a reason😂😂😂😂

    As an African RUclipsr I will keep pushing with the motivation that one day my channel will grow and pay off like Kwadwo Sheldon.
    The hustle is real but I believe that my audience will keep growing. Congratulations to Sheldon, Asantewaa and Osagyefo.

    I'm a professional teacher at primary school here and I say what the helll it's to be a teacher in Ghana 🇬🇭, as a diploma teacher our average salary is $130 a month but I personally because my student loan back at the college 🎓, I'm now taking $111 per month.
    But here we go!!!!
    What you do? We're only trying our best to live with minimum expectations and yet with hope in God almighty, still won't relent.

      But in Ghana, that money isn't Lil depending on where you live.
      Plus private school teachers earn less than y'all but they teach better and more dedicated than public school teachers.
      Many of you, don't merit that pay even, am sorry.

    Regardless of what TikTok says, I've heard from other sources (news programs, documentaries, personal acquaintances, etc.) that they take 70% of the amount sent. The fact that this same amount is consistently and independently found by different groups/channels/organizations in different countries shows that TikTok is lying about their cut, most likely because they know this THEFT from the poor would outrage most of the world
