I had somebody who was managing my YouTube page for me but after a long while when I inquired I was just making peanuts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo I felt it was not worth it after so much talk about how YouTube is making people rich and all that buzz. You can\u2019t depend on such a small amount of money to sustain you because making $400 in three months is woefully inadequate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHowever, some people think that you have to do it as a norm but I don\u2019t know whether other platforms are helping artistes to make more money. As for me I was putting my music videos on YouTube and I was discouraged since I wasn\u2019t making huge sums of money\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:MyNewsGh.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology has caused a paradigm shift in the showbiz industry and this has led to the collapse of traditional means of marketing music through the sale of cassette and Compact Disk (CD).
