Popular Ghanaian actor and skit maker Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi, known as Dr Likee, recently disclosed how he received his first significant payout from his YouTube skits, with support from fellow YouTuber Wode Maya.
In an interview clip circulating on social media with Emelia Brobbey, Dr. Likee shared the remarkable story of how his initial YouTube video brought in an impressive sum of about $20,000, equivalent to GH₵304,000.
Dr Likee recounted the surprising turn of events, detailing how Wode Maya had sent him a document via WhatsApp to take to the bank. Unfamiliar with the document’s contents, Dr Likee was astonished when he was handed approximately $20,000 in cash at the bank.
Shocked and initially suspicious, Dr Likee described how he thought the situation might be a trap. However, upon returning home and counting the money, he confirmed the amount was indeed around $20,000.
Dr Likee expressed profound gratitude to Wode Maya for his unwavering guidance and support in navigating the intricacies of leveraging social media for his career advancement.
“That was when I called Wode Maya to thank him. He advised me not to listen to messages from people discouraging me and to focus on making skits, that if I do it well, it will be profitable for me,” he said.
