- Hey there
On this video, I talk about the struggles of growing as an African UA-cam content creator at the gorgeous EL&N London café at the Mall of Africa. I also reveal how much UA-cam paid me in the first week of getting monetized. Making money online is big, but is UA-cam worth it for African UA-camrs?

Your videos are more informative khanyi, we learn a lot.You are well spoken without trying too hard, you are born for this.
Apologies for the delayed response. For some reason UA-cam had blocked your comment. Thank you so much. I appreciate your feedback and compliments.❤️
I'm from Oklahoma, United States of America. I am not a content creator. I love your videos. I see your videos more as a travel kind of blog. I have always wanted to visit South Africa so I think it is awesome that you post about it so people like me can see what it really is like out there.
Thanks a lot Darrin. It's good to know that my videos are helpful. Hopefully, you will make it to South Africa one day🙂
So unfair, I've been following your channel for a year now and I love every single one of your videos, some have even contributed to my vision boards and 8/10 times I suggest places in my friend groups it's because of you😅. Hopefully more people catch on, your content is absolutely good🎉🎉🎉
Awww this is so motivating and is exactly what I intended with this channel . Thank you so much❤️
It is so strange that you don’t get more views, I love your videos.
Thanks again for your support. I’m trying to figure out this UA-cam thing 😊
I love your channel. I learn and discover. I am a South African but when i see a South African channel, i skip.
Thank you for your support!
Loved your real estate video which was the first video I saw and thought you were so good at it. Do more of that, please. 👍
Thank you so much. I'll try get more of those done.
Some of the vodeos I enjoy:
Real estate: you are good at it.
There is a vidoe you did at the sandron design event. The style you were interviewing designer there, it was great.
But your UA-cam channel is great i general.
Thank you Christelle. I appreciate your feedback ❤️
Just hang in there and keep pushing, I publish when a video is ready to avoid burn out and I don't a have publishing schedule . also key is to make video's that are watched outside SA to improve your CPM, I usually hit the minimum payout threshold before mid month which is okay for me as a small creator in SA, though I take time to upload new videos and not being consistent.
Thanks for your advice. Good point about burnout. I realised early on that trying to have an upload schedule while doing this in my spare time is a huge challenge. I enjoy filming when I really have something to film and am not just trying to create content. Thank you for your support and all the best with your channel too ❤️
@@KhanyiMamba Thank you, you too 😃
I live in London and follow you. I think you need to specialise in a particular topic/ subject. I enjoy the ones that include shopping/ Sandton/ restaurants. I have been tempted to approach you for information.
Find a subject that you enjoy. Best of luck.
Thanks for the tips Dave - much appreciated. I'm happy to answer any questions if you need any info. Thank you for your support ❤️
@KhanyiMamba I'm slightly biased as I love Johannesburg. I intend to travel so your channel is very enjoyable. I'm a Turn'n'Tender Restaurant lover. Many moons ago I knew the 4 brothers. Also enjoy the markets you visit. Take care
@@davemrec I'm at Turn 'n Tender later this week actually. It's a good restaurant chain. I always have the same thing though - squid heads to start and then the pork ribs as mains 🙂 Keep well!
Love your videos Khayni. Don't change. Sorry. I must catch up on your last video too!
Thank you Vincent. You have been supporting me for so long❤️
@@KhanyiMamba as long as you make them ill stay tuned Khayni.
Your content is amazing , thank you for making this video. I’ve also been struggling to breakthrough on UA-cam , you asked a very important question :do you compromise to get the views or wait until people catch on , it got me thinking.🤔 Love your content.
This video was therapeutic for me. After I made it, I completely let go of the financial aspect. I don’t worry about whether a video will do well or not anymore. I’m just enjoying making content the best I can, with no pressure, and I’m having lots more fun with it now. I’m unfortunately not willing to compromise just for views. I will make the content I enjoy and those who find value in it, like yourself, will watch 🙂 All the best to you with your channel - keep going! Thank you for the support ❤️
@@KhanyiMamba Thank you for sharing your perspective 🙏it’s helping me a lot.
Greetings Khanyi! Your content is great please dont give up! I see from your videos that the biggest views came from real estate tours. I understand that that may not be your thing and that you may have a 9 to 5.
If you decide that you want to go into paid consultation for people looking to move to the country, please let us know. There are many of us looking for sincere, knowledgeable people as we plan our moves ♥
Hello Tia. Thank you. Yes, I realise the real estate videos and mall videos have the most views. I suppose I have to find balance. I will certainly let you know if I want to move into consulting. Thank you so much for your support ❤️
@@KhanyiMamba Great! Your Cape Town video helped us figure out where we can stay when we visit in 2024. Thanks!
Wonderful - You will love Cape Town! Try to stay even closer to the V&A Waterfront if you can, as it's central and closer to more things to do.
Hi. I am from SA too but not living there anymore, burI love your content I have been following you for over a year. It's difficult getting noticed and reaching subscribers and if you take a break like you did, it's even worse. Just carry on with what you're doing,I love your content!
Please do me a favour if you can, i.e. do a video of Melrose Arch with the Christmas lights. I would love that! SA is in my ❤️ forever.
All the best!
You have commented on my videos before - I remember you
Madalena 😊 Yeah, the break did not work well for my channel but I needed it. I am actually going to see the Christmas lights next week although I wasn't planning to film. I might just do so now. I love the Melrose Arch Christmas lights. Thank you for your support ❤️
Thank you so much, I can'twaitto see your video! Please don't give up, preserve. I know it's hard becauseit'sso much work. Tt happened to me@@KhanyiMamba
Date or marry me - and I'll teach you how to make UA-cam worthwhile...🥰😛🤪😍
