There is a widespread misconception about how cartoonists in Nigeria make money: many people believe that they make money through fraudulent means. In short, it is good content that goes viral on the internet.
In the real world, it’s harder than that, and the financial success of the average Nigerian comedian often comes from endorsement, advertising, and broadcast deals.
“Thank you social networks. God bless you for creating content, it’s a good job,” Obi-Uchendu Chukwuemeka Emmanuel, a professional comedian and parody creator, also known as Mr. Sabinus or Mr. Funny, told Ebuka.
- “At the moment, I can safely say that TikTok attracts much more than Instagram.
- We also have a YouTube audience. Instagram is just the main platform because you can meet the audience there, but there is also a huge audience on Facebook.
- Facebook is the only one that is even monetized, not even Instagram.
- Grasp. And YouTube is monetized.
- So if Instagram is no longer available, I still have Facebook, which will pay me, and YouTube, which will also pay me.
- So creating content is immediate for me. It’s a career. It’s helped people a lot.“
Mr Funny revealed: “I get paid N1.5 million for a post and I get about five ads in a month,” he explained, “that’s about N10 million if God gives a good month.”
Said Sabino “Content creation is so lucrative for youtube now that people youtube make 15-20 million every month yeah no one knows so tomorrow if that person is supposed to buy a house you will say it’s a scam , no, it doesn’t work like that”
Take, for example, Mr. Beast, an American content creator who, according to Forbes’ annual list, earned $54 million and was the highest-paid YouTuber of the year in 2021.
According to data collected by Mandy News, Nigerian parodies earn money through sites like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, endorsement deals, and promotions.
“The Internet has a lot of potential. I have recommendations and have posted ads for some well-known brands. Internet platforms also pay me,” said comedian Issac Aloma, popularly known as Zicsaloma, on Instagram.
As someone who has a decent understanding of the internet, I believe that most Nigerian comedians make money in a legitimate way.
Consider the fact that they earned an average of $4,000 per million views.
