Ghanaian comedian Abdul Waris Umaru, popularly known as Comedian Waris, has revealed that he earned his highest revenue of $9,000 per month from content generation on Facebook.
Additionally, he disclosed that in December of the previous year, he made between $5,000 to $6,000 weekly from TikTok.
Comedian Waris shared these insights during an interview on TV3’s The Afternoon Show with Anita Akufo and Godwin Namboh.
“My highest I have taken from Facebook can be in the $9000 monthly. Facebook pays more than that that is why Sabinus is who he is and Nigerians buy houses like that…. There are other social media pages that makes more money. In December I was on TikTok and within a week I clocked close to $5000 to $6000.
While acknowledging the lucrative nature of content creation on social media, he highlighted Ghana’s challenges with monetizing social media spaces. This has led some content creators to collaborate with their Nigerian counterparts.
