Samuel Perry, the
comic actor better known as Broda Shaggi, says he makes more than $40,000
from skit-making on YouTube.
The skit maker, in a recent interview on the Dadaboy Show,
said he makes money on the streaming platform because he is “consistent” and
rakes in a “high number of views.”
Shaggi added that growing his platform and working with
other brands also helped him to generate income.
“I try my best. Yes, its numbers for you to make money as a skit maker, its numbers and you have to be consistent,” he said.
“Consistency is very
key, you have to be consistent always because when you’re consistent, you have
more content and more content means more money.
“You make more money if you’re on YouTube and you grow your
platform well. Asides from YouTube, there are brands who want to penetrate your
brand and work with you.
“All they look for is numbers. How many views? Who is
watching? What’s the comment like? What’s their reach? And that’s how the money
comes in. In a month it might be more than $40k.”
The 29-year-old comedian had previously revealed that
poverty led him to a career in entertainment.
“I came from Ikenne in Ogun state and left for Lagos when my
father died. I lived with my aunt in Makoko, she took care of me till l left
the university. I was neither born with a silver spoon nor grew up in Lekki,” he had said.
“I started entertainment out of hunger. Most people out
there also started out of hunger because poverty is not a good thing. When
poverty hits you, you’ll be one to figure out your talent.”
