You may not like to hear this, but as a Nigerian, before you pay anyone to teach you how to make AI videos so you can make money on YouTube, remember the following.
1.) YouTube has no place it has reserved money to pay you. It’s Nigerians like you that will pay YouTube premium and advertise on YouTube so YouTube can have money to pay you. So effectively, if the Nigerian economy is poor, don’t expect YouTube to pay millions of you who now want to escape poverty by making AI videos.
2.) Yes, the the digital world means more markets, not just Nigeria. You can sell globally.
Fine and good. But remember, global reach comes at a cost of global competition. Good luck competing with those who can easily afford Veo 3 @ $249 a month and have 24/7 electricity.
3.) Because there’s hunger in the land (the economy is poor) a million others like you are also turning to “AI videos” to chop and there will be saturation. You fit do am 5 years make you no see shi shi.
4.) After learning how to make AI videos, you get sense?? Because na sense go help you know the prompts to send AI that will return you the best results. Do you also have sense to come up with ideas that can be relevant to people? This is what gives you an edge. Because trust me, there will be saturation.
Again, you may not like this uncomfortable truth, but it will help you. Nigeria’s economy is poor. You can hardly make anything out of it. And certainly, you cannot AI your way out of poverty. Yes 1 or 2 of you can succeed, but that’s an insignificant fraction and if you are going to hang your breakthrough on luck, make sure you check the odds.
At the end of the day, na people wey you pay to learn AI go make money because you don carry your money give them.
We need to admit that this our economy is poor and do something about it. Starting by making sure we carefully select who is the president of this country. We cannot succeed by mago mago. You can’t cheat economics.
Peace ✌️
