The Prince of Mwihoko, Henry Desagu, has revealed the highest amount he has ever made from his YouTube channel.
Speaking during an interview with Obinna TV, Desagu estimated the amount to be 400,000 ksh.
“The highest per month is 400,000 ksh.” Desagu disclosed.
He goes on to explain how YouTube pays, saying there are strategies that YouTube uses to pay, and it doesn’t only work with the number of views a video has, which is the analogy many have, saying they follow the length of the video posted, the watch time, and the number of videos.
“Watu wengi hawajuangi vile YouTube hua ina pay… Because sometimes inadepend na length ya video…umefanya video ngapi hii season…zimewatchiwa aje thus watchtime…and then a times kunatokeanga statictics worldwide unaambiwa vile mtu akiwa Kenya si vile mwenye ako nje ya Kenya analipwa.”
He, however, said his main way of earning is through advertising and doesn’t entirely rely on YouTube.
In discussing how he made his YouTube channel grow, he said he used to market his channel by posting it on all his social media handles asking fans and the public to subscribe, in at least each post he was posting.
