South African content creators are making it big, especially on YouTube. One such creator is Ghost Hlubi, whose real name is Khanya Hlubi. He is a South African media personality who gained prominence through his prank videos.

It all started back in 2017 when his light-hearted videos went viral on social media, gaining him hundreds and thousands of followers. Currently, his YouTube account is about to hit a million subscribers. But how much is he making through content creation?

Ghost Hlubi's YouTube earnings

In a recent interview on the LTido Podcast, Ghost Hlubi shared that he is making quite a good living from the money he earns through YouTube. He said he makes good money from his different social media accounts, but for YouTube only, he makes roughly R160 000 monthly.

This is not the first time a South African content creator has come out to say they earn a decent living out of content creation. Recently, actress Lerato Nxumalo gave Mzansi a glimpse of her monthly earnings. She revealed that she earned around R58 000 over 28 days.

With the high unemployment rate in South Africa, it's safe to say that the content creation industry is one of the important interventions in the fight against youth unemployment in the country. If Ghost Hlubi and other content creators, such as his girlfriend Seemah Mangolwane, can make so much from creating content on social media, what more could you ask for?
