Nairobi man reveals how he now makes more than Kes 300,000 every month by just selling videos online, buys dream car and starts a hardware business. Any one word for him?

Harrison Mwangi, a Nairobi resident and father of two, found himself facing a very difficult chapter in life after he lost his job as an accountant. For nearly five months, he woke up each day determined to find work. He sent out countless job applications, attended interviews, and followed up wherever he could, but nothing materialised. As the weeks passed, rent, school fees, and household bills continued to pile up, and the weight of providing for his family became heavier.

One afternoon, while catching up with a close friend, their conversation drifted toward the different ways people were earning money online. His friend told him about a platform called NairoTube, where ordinary people could upload videos and receive payments from viewers who chose to watch their content. Harrison was curious, especially when his friend mentioned that he had already started earning a steady amount from it.

With little left to lose, Harrison decided to give it a shot. He began posting short videos where he shared his opinions on politics and entertainment—topics he had always enjoyed talking about online. In the past, he had posted similar clips on social media without thinking much about them, simply sharing his thoughts for free. But this time, things turned out differently. Some of his followers quickly discovered his NairoTube page and began supporting him by paying to watch the exclusive videos he uploaded.

Gradually, more people started following his content. Each new video attracted additional viewers, and the small payments began adding up. After only a few months, Harrison realised he had earned more than KES 300,000—an amount far greater than what he had previously made working in an office job.

What amazed him most was the realisation that the same type of content he used to share freely actually had real value. Through NairoTube, he had managed to turn something he genuinely enjoyed—sharing opinions and commentary—into a reliable source of income. The encouragement and support from viewers did more than just help financially; it also rebuilt his confidence during a time when he had almost lost hope.

As his earnings grew, Harrison was able to achieve things he had once only imagined. He bought the car he had always wanted and later used part of the money to start a small hardware business, creating another way to support his family.

Today, Harrison openly shares his experience with others who are going through financial struggles. He often reminds people not to overlook the value of their ideas or the content they post online.

“Sometimes the things we give away for free are more valuable than we realise,” he says. “If people enjoy what you create, they may be willing to support it. For me, this platform became a second chance.”

For anyone searching for new ways to earn income online, Harrison suggests exploring platforms like NairoTube. You never know where a simple idea might lead.
