I have designed T-shirts, tote bags, facecaps and so much more.
My most successful is The American King T-shirt I produced in 2022 for the promotion of the theatrical release of the Hollywood and Nollywood romantic comedy in Nigeria.

FACTS DON'T LIE
Recent Nielsen data showed YouTube made up nearly 10% of all television viewing in the U.S. last month. Netflix was lower, at 8.4%, albeit the highest for a subscription service. Streaming viewership hit a record overall share topping 40%.
“Netflix and YouTube are the clear leaders,” said Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. Netflix is focused on the rest of total TV time — about 80%, primarily linear and streaming — “that isn’t going either to us or ton."
How Much Does NETFLIX Pay?
Netflix doesn't pay directly for individual views. Instead, they typically pay for licensing fees for content, which can vary significantly. For example, a Nigerian filmmaker might receive a licensing fee between $10,000 and $90,000 for a film. This is not tied to the number of views, but rather to the overall agreement to stream the content on the platform. Here's a more detailed breakdown: No Per-View Payments: Unlike YouTube or other platforms, Netflix doesn't offer a revenue-sharing model based on individual views. Licensing Fees: Netflix pays upfront fees for the rights to stream content, and these fees are negotiated in advance.
The amount of money Netflix pays can vary widely depending on factors such as the content's perceived value, the bargaining power of the content creator, and the specific agreement.
Nigerian Filmmakers: Some reports indicate that Netflix has offered lower fees to Nigerian filmmakers compared to those from other countries. For instance, one report states that Netflix offered $90,000 for Nollywood films, while planning to spend $500 million on films and series from Asia and Europe.
In summary, Netflix doesn't pay a specific amount per million views. Instead, they pay upfront licensing fees for the right to stream content, which are not tied to the number of viewers.
How Much Does YOUTUBE Pay for Views
YouTube doesn't pay a fixed amount per million views. The actual earnings can vary greatly, but generally, a creator can expect to earn around $2,950 for 1 million views, or about $0.00295 per view. This is based on an average AdSense revenue, but several factors can influence the actual payout. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Factors affecting YouTube earnings:
Ad Revenue: The main source of income for many YouTube creators is ad revenue, generated when viewers watch or click on ads within their videos.
Ad Rates: The price advertisers pay for ads varies depending on several factors, including the audience's demographics, the type of ad, and the video's niche.
Niche and Category: Content creators in certain niches, like real estate, may have higher RPMs (Revenue Per Mille, or per 1,000 views) than others, leading to potentially higher earnings.
Audience Demographics: The demographics of a creator's audience can also affect their earnings. For example, videos with a high concentration of viewers in countries with strong economies might generate more revenue.
Other Income Streams: In addition to AdSense revenue, creators can also earn money through sponsorships, merchandise sales, and other monetization methods. Example: A vlogging channel with a typical RPM of $1-$6 might earn between $1,000-$6,000 for 1 million views. A real estate channel with a higher RPM could potentially earn closer to $30,000 for the same number of views.
As we look forward to the Valentine's Day on February 14, I am going to recommend top 20 movies of romantic comedy and drama to watch online.

Nollywood actors Nse Ikpe-Etim and Enyinna Nwigwe are in the Hollywood and Nollywood comedy film “The American King” with the popular singer Akon.
Written and directed by Adah Obekpa and co-produced by Joan McCarthy, the film follows the story of Sebastian, an ex-con dealing with some dangerous yet sensitive Russian gangsters to whom he owes money, who receives an unbelievable offer to escape it all from a mysterious High Priestess who seeks to fulfil a 400-year-old prophecy: choose an American to become King of an ancient African kingdom and restore it to the global superpower it once was.
The film also stars Andrew Howard (“Limitless“), Nick Moran (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows“, “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels“), Massi Furlan (“Jumanji: The Next Level“), Nathin Butler (“Westworld”), and Miguel Nuñez Jr. (“Juwanna Mann,”, “Tour of Duty“).
Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films, says, “The American King is a cross between Coming to America and Black Panther, and while this movie is delivered with comedy, it depicts a very powerful commentary about the divisiveness and double standards in today’s society. We know audiences will have a good laugh and enjoy the very talented cast.”
"The American King" is the most exciting #Hollywood and #Nollywood romantic comedy starring famous singer Akon, Andrew Howard, Nick Moran, Jasmine Hester, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Enyinna Nwigwe and other top American and NIgerian actors.
