Sorry bro, out here people are paying 30$ just for thumbnails while you're charging 500/ shillings and they see it's a lot, that's a shame
i recently stumbled on their channel n i loved the videos but what they've done to you is so shady especially refusing to formalise things in writing. i will not be subscribing to their channel but i will support you by subscribing to yours. i wish you all the best n may God open wider doors for you in your new journey.
The lawyer obviously played you... and it is going to be hard to win a case against them. It is your word vs their word since he was "scammy" enough to ensure there was no contract... it is quite unfortunate that Africans are yet to appreciate services which are intangible.... Acha watafute another editor at those measly rates they were giving you tuone kama watapata. From one creator to another, I believe you are destined for greatness. Dust yourself, and move on to the next big thing, which is building for you. Choose you....
@Denis ohuru why don't you go on these many trips I see being published all over social media, create the content, and then post on your own channel? Then register ypur services on platforms such as Upwork, Fiverr, uwachane na hawa manyan'gau
You just got a new subscriber. Sending good vibes your way.
Bro 10x your rates. How do you even survive with that rate?
I'd advice you sit down with Chief Nomad and settle this despite the effort to reach out. Agree on terms discussed with a contract (it is a very important document). NEVER trust anyone in the corporate world by word of mouth.
Hey Dennis, I was waiing for the part where you'd say that "I reached out to them to ask why the adsense was disconnected and they said this..." I think you should have done that before making the video because this might be bad for their business which might eventually be bad for you in case the two options mentioned in the video do not work well. What do you think?
Mr dennis big up na endelea kuskuma kwa mimi ninayeanza nitasubscribe na to tell you keep pushing na all the best, kazi safi na personally they don't deserve your craftsmanship na uko na haki mzee but all in all, all the best
You have a new subscriber and will support you through. You will flourish as you have found the light. Follow your heart brother
Wait to see what they will say because they decided to remove your AD Sense account without notifyingy you. If they never get back to you, then God will repay you since you have been virtuous all along,
Hello Dennis, I've watched your video and I can relate to what you are going through. Actually I started watching your videos after coming across Mara Nomads and I must say you are a Maestro, Big up. Back to my point, Don't Quit your Job please, continue editing for them now that their channel is growing, people will start looking for you to edit their videos worldwide. After vlogging make sure at the end of your videos, sale your skills, tell us what job you can do e.g shooting videos, photography, editing etc Sale you then najua God atakam through Patience Ohuru. God bless n good night.
I’m really disgusted at how you have been treated Dennis. Know that you are lifted in prayer, and that you will win in the end. As others have stated - please stop allowing folks to undervalue your talent. You have my full support and I look forward to what your bright future holds! 🙏🏾
Wow, pole sana. This is a case study in avoiding verbal agreements. You can however lawyer up and pursue this through the courts. Once money and services have changed hands you have grounds to get your original deal of keeping revenue from the channel. Good luck...Tafuta Danston
acha nifike iyo channel niwasalimie...take heart bro
Bro, your story is moving, trust you me, you are going far! just keep it up
Smokie ulibomoa zote supper?
@@brian-t6836 😂🤣 muhimu bro. Muhimu
to be honest i feel you bro becz i know friends i hae helped to grow on you-tube
@@Carlos_united thanks for taking time to watch the video. 😊 and thanks for your support.
Keep pushing through! Love the authenticity of your content. Time yako itacome pia manze.
Bro you inspire me alot the day i become a pro footballer i will remind you of how you inspired me.
@@DarrylWayne-lr3yy 😊 May fair winds speed you on your journey.
You can also create and sell a video editing masterclass to supplement your income. The videos you edited for the Mara Nomads are superb.
@@johnwesley7977 great advice. I'll look into that. 😊
All will be well, Its not a Rejection but a redirection.
@@SharonKalunge Thanks for that wisdom 😊 and for taking the time to watch
I personally knew You from their 1st video to Victoria falls( they tagged your name as the editor). It’s so sad that you getting this kind of treatment from them. I hope you get an amicable way out of this cause you’ve really proven to be a skillful and hardworking editor. All the best Denis. Best of lucky kaka.
@@shinjumah I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Thank you for watching and for the support on this 1. 😊
I guess this was before the head of mara nomads deactivated your ad sense account 😭 that made me so sad because i too am a hustler in my own right
i was so confused at the title so i had to click lmao
@@genrasputin 😅 the tittle is a tad confusing i guess.
Haha. Did you really think they were gonna let you keep that money when they usually give you peanuts. He probably agreed to give you the adsense just to shut you up at that time.
The Mara nomads don't seem to appreciate you, the value of your work and have been acting incredibly in Bad faith. I advice you to renegotiate with them and from now in get EVERYTHING in WRITING else you walk away from them. This will also apply to your future clients as well. You are an incredibly talented, hardworking and honest young man and trust me it will be their loss of they let you go. We appreciate your vids and are rooting for you. I am sorry you got a dishonest bad faith clients but your work and the skills you put in speak volumes about your work ethic.
If they don't increase the pay significantly, cut them off! I agree, it is a free market, but that client was really low balling you (or I guess you were naive and not aware of how much to charge for video editing). I am a video editor and all I can say is that you were charging very little. I don't understand how you can comfortably make a living out of that. That plus the amount of time you have to spend poring through hours on hours of raw footage, man you were actually giving away your effort for free. I am glad you are now aware of this and are taking the necessary steps to remedy.
@@HotOnVisuals thank you for your message and advice. Wisdom 😊 well taken in. Thanks for taking time to watch and subscribe.
Hi Dennis,,I have been watching you for a while now. I leave in Kariobangi South which is close to Umoja. I have an idea on something that you can do to get back on track. Let me know How I can reach you
It's a painful lesson learnt. so henceforth, always have everything in writing. a contract is very important. otherwise, we are here to support you. I have seen your growth and I know it will get better
You can try chat moderation
So sad bro, exploitation sucks, believe it or not this is your defining moment, just focus on your content and build your brand.
Acha ata mimi nichangie hapa: Major conclusions... You got too comfortable with one major client, I guess so. You could've used that clients success to get more clients. You used a more informal way of communication. Lakini usitishwe! They probably got a guy who does it cheaper. There's always someone out there who is willing to accept less. Most Kenyans are kind of illiterate in the digital space so they focused on the ad revenue without knowing that they can make over 1M in other revenue sources. Solutions: Create a fiverr gig or upwork and use their success as a stepping stone. Create an IG theme page using your editing skills and start getting those juicy dollars. Create an editing course tutanunua. Especially for short form content.
Its crazy how he stills afford to laugh even at this despair moments
Life is one big joke 🤣 sometimes you are the brunt of the joke, other times you are on the laughing side. 😅
the problem is you knowing your boss earnings and you want earn the same like him/her, always work under what you have agreed with your boss but not because of what he/she has acheived... bro stop that work and do your own work since yos is too monetized
What are you rumbling about? It's the Nomads who backtracked on their words.Very shitty if you ask me.
@@KelvinKirimanipitie mkuu tugrow
I've joined the membership, I think yours is my favorite channel on youtube. F*ck the Nomads, it's their loss!
Thank you so much for your support. I value it greatly 🙏🏾
May someone volunteer and pay your rent for one full year. It is possible.
Some of you asked me to get a number so they can send me something to chew on Mpesa 😅 hahaha. So I did. Its 0793779433. If you send something, I'll chew it with thanks 😊
Just stumbled into this video, more work incoming. Also give us an update of this month.
You are a great guy (honest, hardworking, and a good storyteller). I see you have traveled rough paths that we question ourselves why me? Well, life prepares you for greater things by walking through these rough paths. I like how you are handling it, despite the hurt & your fears you have chosen to mask it with a great story, a smile, and a laugh. This will keep you going (NEVER FILL SORRY FOR YOURSELF). You should get the 40-plus guys to subscribe to your channel. I also suggest you market your skills widely through your storytelling. Content creation is next the big thing now. Continue learning on how to improve on your craft and knock on doors for NGos (they are looking for storytellers).
Thank you for watching. 😊 and for your words of encouragement.
You have so much courage. You have an amzing brain power, which shows in how you articulate yourself. Coming to the public and opening your life to all of us is one feat that atests to your courage. I hope the universe opens up and awards you a stable position where you can exploit your strengths without worrying about meeting your basic needs.
😊 Thank you for your words of encouragement. I'm greatful for the support.
You have put in the work Ohuru! But these fellas think you don't deserve it! Which to me is pure malice and bullcrap!
all i can do is to subscribe
It means so much to me. Thank you 😊
Amazing Job on the Mara Nomads! I am here shaking my head at how Rutto has really dropped the ball on this! Ey ey Mai Lord.
I'm glad that you've found my videos enjoyable 😊 Thank you for watching
This is one of the few channels I let ads run till the end. You deserve that Dennis. Big up
I appreciate that. Thank you so much 😊
