We make more money with less stress on YouTube- Juliet Ibrahim

Actress and filmmaker Juliet Ibrahim has highlighted the advantages of YouTube compared to Netflix, emphasizing the more relaxed environment and substantial earnings associated with the former.

The light-skinned Ghanaian actress noted that while other streaming services impose strict guidelines for content uploads, YouTube offers greater flexibility.

Ibrahim shared these insights during an interview with reporters at the Nigeria International Film and TV Summit in Lekki.

According to her; “Unlike Netflix or Prime, YouTube doesn’t demand specific criteria for equipment, editing, lighting, or crew members.”

“You see, there is something about being a filmmaker, you make your movie and you want to own your rights. There is also piracy, so even YouTube is not 100% safe because people still pirate, they would steal your content.

“However, there is a whole market on YouTube where people make quick and easy money with less stress. Without having to go buy the cinema criteria or streaming platform criteria. Before you submit to a streaming platform either Netflix or Prime, you have a list of equipment you must use.

“There is a criteria for editing, lighting, your crew members, a whole lot of things and that includes a lot of money.

“That is where I said the funding would now become a problem.” The filmmaker and content creator also highlighted the importance of reaching diaspora audiences who cannot access cinema content.

Juliet Ibrahim further added:

“As a filmmaker, you want to have multiple streams of income, and there are people in diaspora who want to watch our content but cannot access our cinema content. Until we can give them good cinema content over there, we can put it on Netflix or YouTube.

“If Netflix says the content is not good enough for them, we can put it on Showmax or YouTube uploads. A lot of people have different reasons but most times you have to look at it strategically and also what goes into your pocket.”
