African YouTubersWatch: Michael Jamison’s YouTube channel



The evolution of technology and having access to the internet has changed the “normal” standard of living, from people’s occupation to their income.

Throughout the years, this has been seen as more content creators proliferate and monetise their content on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, dubbed the second-most visited website on the internet.

Since 2007, content creators have been able to earn revenue from the platform and this has inspired a generation of content creators to make a living from the platform.

SocialBlade’s database shows that content for kids is more dominant than other content channels, with five of the seven continents boasting a children’s creator as their highest all-time earner.

According to the findings, American kids’ channel CoComelon is the highest-earning YouTube channel of all time, with an estimated $282.8m amassed from its videos since its creation in 2006.
