Meet Nairobi single mother who was turned down more than 5 times now reveals how she came to make Kes 1 Million from social media through posting content. He is the simple strategy she uses that anyone can try and become successful.
Eve Wanjiru, a Nairobi-based single mother raising three children, had spent years entertaining people online with her funny skits and simple lifestyle videos. Many people followed her content and regularly praised her in the comments, but despite the growing audience, the effort never translated into real income. Life became even more difficult when the small kiosk she depended on for business was forced to close due to the rising cost of living. Suddenly, supporting her children felt heavier than ever.
One afternoon, while relaxing with a friend over a cup of tea, Eve was introduced to a platform called NairoTube. Her friend explained that it allowed creators to earn money directly from the people who enjoyed their content. The idea sparked hope in her mind. Looking for a new opportunity and determined to improve her situation, Eve decided to register on the platform and give it a try.
In her first week, she uploaded several of her favourite videos and shared the links across her social media pages—TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, and other places where her fans were already following her. She didn’t expect much at first, maybe just a few supporters willing to contribute something small. But the reaction was far bigger than she imagined. Fans who had watched her videos for years finally had a way to support her financially, and the payments started coming in steadily. Each notification she received reminded her that the time and creativity she had invested were finally being rewarded.
By the end of the first month, Eve could barely believe the numbers on her account. She had earned more than KES 1 million. As more people discovered her content on the platform, her income kept growing. Month after month, she continued reaching the same milestone. For the first time in a long while, she felt financially secure. She was able to pay school fees for her children, clear debts that had been stressing her, and even start putting money aside for the future.
Today, Eve often shares her story and how NairoTube helped change her life at a time when many Kenyans are struggling with the cost of living. She has also connected with other creators on the platform—musicians, comedians, vloggers, and storytellers—who are using it as a way to earn from their talent. Her message to other creators is simple: if you’re already creating content and have an audience, you might want to consider using platforms like NairoTube to start earning from your work.
