Mungai Eve, a Kenyan YouTuber, and her partner, Director Trevor, have disclosed that they make over Sh1.5 million per month.
In a candid interview, the two revealed that her partner was the brains behind the channel, which has over 500,000 members.
Eve was unfamiliar with the social media ecosystem when they started the channel, but she was eager to learn how to become a YouTuber.
The first cheque they received from the video platform was for Sh100,000, but due to security protocols, they had to wait a long time to get the money.
“The more views you get the more the revenue increases. What I get this month may not be the same amount next month,” she said.
“The reason we make money from YouTube is that our previous videos are still being watched,” Director Trevor added.
The two had already started monetizing their content within a week of creating it.
A spot check by Pulse Live showed that the Mungai Eve channel had achieved almost to 100 million views since January 2020.
Her channel focuses on projecting unscripted real-life experiences of youths from informal settlements.
Her impact in Nairobi and the online community includes the discovery of Madocho wa Kanairo who is a self-styled sheng master.
She has also interviewed other celebrities like Jalas, DJ MoCrazy Kennar and Mejja.
