Topic: crypto vs content creation, which is more profitable? (Read 990 times)

Actually it depends on your choice, but one thing you should know about this content creation is that you will need to work very hard before you get paid, secondly you will never cease in creating a content so as to be able to meet up your Target every week.

However did you know what it takes to be a good content creator? You think is easy to meet up with those criteria that is required? Perhaps this will cost you a huge amount of money before you could build your page, except you keep striving so as to meet those criteria to enable your account to be monetized, definitely this will take up to 10 years if I'm not mistaken reason is because I know what it takes before you could meet up with those criteria.

Are you going for content creation just because anyone can invest in cryptocurrencies, a lot of people don't know how difficult it is to create content, been a content creator requires a lot of start up capital more than crypto investment or trading.there are lots of things you need to spend on as a creator in order for your contents not to look basic.growing social media platforms is not a day job this might take more than a year perhaps even more to get the audience you need to promote whatever it is you are doing

If u look at d two very well, u will no dat content creator involve money and crypto investment involve money too, but it will be good u focus on d one u no very well because if u are not good on social media and u chose to b content creator, it will b difficult for u to mak profit dat will mak u happy. Since money is involved in d two before u can mak profit, I will prefer crypto investment I understand very well, and I no dat if I hold crypto like 5 years, it will give me plenty profits than someone dat is doing content creator because it use to tak dem a long years to gather followers before dey can start making small profit from the content creator.

I will choose content creation millions of times over cryptocurrency.

A successful content creation is way better than crypto investments, needless to say, you can create your content, earn money from it and invest it in cryptocurrency. Once you have the needed resources in content creation and can build your audience, then the job is done. You will only need to continue to furnish your audience with quality content to make them stay which is not a big deal to any serious and creative content creator.

But I can't say the same about crypto investment, it is risky and no one's money is guaranteed.

These are two different aspects of making legit Money, For me I will stay with Bitcoin because of the following reasons.

Bitcoin when investing in long term has the potential for high returns, and investing in Bitcoin is not time consuming, unlike content creation which is time consuming and labour intensive, you are to be constantly dropping new content to keep your incoming flowing, and most times monetisation strategies may change, Bitcoin just invest and keep up with the latest updates and get your profits,

As Nigerians we all know Blord as an investor in Bitcoin, he is not the most successful Bitcoin investor in Nigeria but he is worth over $5m, which content creator stands close to him when it comes to wealth, Mark angel is the most successful content creator in Nigeria with the networth of about $3m, so you see Bitcoin is way above content creation when it comes to maximising profit.

I stand to be corrected.

Both of them are not easy because content you need to be a fast thinker so that you will have stories to come up with it will be something the audience will like, because getting followers is also very stressful so, and when it comes to crypto you need to be fully prepared because you will even need finance to invest in crypto both of them have their advantages and disadvantages, both are profitable and base on the kind of money they are making majority of them are also doing crypto so they are also involved, doing the two is also a good idea if you can actually act. It's a thing of joy when you are doing exactly what you have interest in and you are making money from it.


You need patience in both crypto and content creation because for content creation you have to follow your idea step by step and crpto have a particular steps you must follow on like content creation that your idea will determine the kind of step you will take, the only instant profit you will get from content creation will only happen when you have followers already, and you are getting a lot of deals but when you don't have deals then it might also take a longer period for you to start making money, but when you start making money then getting money their is faster than that of crypto. Their is a lot of things when it comes to content creation it is also very competitive compare you invest without stress, they both have their good and bad side.

You already done justice to this comparison in your previous post where you mentioned patient and I think going further will make the argument void. I don't know what trigger this argument in the first place because crypto and content creation is not of the same category and should not be compared. While one is an investment that involves high level of risks, the other one is about tallent and doest not involved risks.

Crypto has no shortcut and it might even take longer than a year before you begin to reap your fruit. In content creation, majority of content makers don't start from the scratch to build the accounts on the platform they're using, they buy it. Moreover, building social media accounts is not as difficult as it was before especially when you are good in what you do. Sadly, we don't have sensible content creators again; what we have now is irrelevant creators.

If we are to talk about which one is more profitable, we are first of all going to specify whether it is sustainable profit or short-term profit. Moreover, the profit depends on how good the person involved is, not by the field you belong.

The fact that money gotten from content creation can be invested into crypto to make more money already proves that crypto is of course more profitable than content creation. Cause if you have a comfortable stream of income why go into Bitcoin again? Isn't it cause it's an asset while content creation is a source of income?

Please note, that I said asset, meaning long-term investments in cryptocurrency. But even if it's trading that of course requires money too, then I still think it's more profitable than content creation.

Content creation is more profitable than cryptocurrency because it's basically skills and data subscription that is required to start it, which is not much and as long as the content creator is active and have required viewers they'll continue to make money. Unlike cryptocurrency that requires a person to first have money to either invest or trade, besides cryptocurrency are volatile, some might dip and never recover again making the investors to lose their money. Except for a few forums like Bitcointalk, where members can earn money from signature campaigns and some legit airdrops, I don't think that there are other avenues that people can earn money in cryptocurrency without putting in their money first. Someone can earn money from content creation and invest it in a reputable cryptocurrency like Bitcoin for long term returns on investment.

The internet has revolutionized the way youths live, learn and interact, offering numerous benefits such as earning through content creation. The current trends of the youths flocking to social media content creation in hopes of achieving financial success has become a norm, it's true that content creators have been receiving significant financial rewards but let's also acknowledge the efforts, dedication and luck in achieving such success. Just like @samlucky o said, Grace.

On the other hand crypto trading and investment requires a different set of skills, knowledge and risk tolerance. Both paths have their unique benefits and setbacks so we should be able to know were our passion and interest lies and follow that path. I would say that content creation is more profitable but it's too much work to handle, a content creators could be a low-key crypto investor and still make profit adding to the one they make in content creation but an investor can't do both. The only problem that content creators have and crypto investors doesn't have is, in content creation you put your privacy, your life, your self-esteem on the line but in crypto investment it's all about privacy.

Making content is not an easy job, though nothing in life is easy. Before you begin making money from content creation, you must ensure that the video you are about to create is high quality and funny, they look for content that has not been created before by anyone to ensure that their followers enjoy what they have created. But, if you look at it, to me, the easiest way to make money in this country is through content makers. If you start making content and a person who wishes to start a crypto investment, I believe a person who creates content will be the first to make money since if you wish to be a content creator, working under someone who has lots of followers will be a simple way to help his boy grow his account. But with crypto trading, even if you are educated by someone who has been on the crypto trip for many years, you will still have to wait for the right time to make a profit, so I believe that content creators make more money than crypto traders.

some days ago, PST Jery eze became the highest ranked Nigerian YouTuber with a groose earning of N7 billion in all-time earning from 2014-2024 which is an interval of 10 years. He was on YouTube right from 2014 but become active from 2019 during the covid while he organized an online praying channel accross all the social media platforms called NSPD.

Only on YouTube, he has about 2.12 million subscribers and at least 1 million view everyday and since he does the online prayers from Monday to Friday every week right from 2019 that I can remember till date,  you can tell the level if consistency it requires. For his own case,  he has build an audience that runs from members of his church to millions of people accross the world that joins him in the morning prayers.  Apart from YouTube, on Facebook he gets 150k view everyday on his live broadcast that has been running for those period of time. It's a big joke to assume that those kind of thing is easy for an average person to easily get if you're not ready to pay the price.

Thier is real money in content creation more than most jobs be it in crypto and most sector but the level of effort it requires is not what you an average person can offer.

Here's a sample of the least view he gets everyday on his live

A lot of people think that content creation is actually easy, not saying crypto is easy but to become a content creator that gets paid in good amounts you need to grow your social media accounts and this goes beyond paying hackers to boost your account to get more followers because some platforms won't allow it, it has to be step by step journey, this would require a level of consistency, it would take more than a year or two to get the audience you need.. would it take that long to start earning on crypto?? Clearly the answer is no

Exactly. Crypto Investment is not a job, but content creation is a job that will earn someone a lot of money, and someone can also use money earned from content to invest, and still money will continue coming from content, and my crypto investment will be able to reach the right time to sell, but if I'm a content creator and also a crypto investor, money earned from content can be invested in crypto, and it will go a long way.

Patience is key just like you said, nothing good comes easy, it's always going to take some time..But you said content creating gives you instant profit compared to crypto currency investment, I disagree because you can't just wake up and be a content creator, growing a social media account isn't a one month or two months job, it's going to take a very long time, my friends are content creators so I know what I'm talking about, and in the aspect of crypto currency investment have you considered day trading? This doesn't take time to make profit except you are a swing trader

No work is easy either. But one thing about life is that if you are good in something, people will later know you.

Since the content creator has many subscribers, many of them will click on his videos while the platform the person is using will suggest to other people to watch the video which is the reason the number if subscribers the content creator is having will be increasing. Although, some people will unfollow the content creator but if he is good, people that subscribed will be getting more than people that unsubscribe.

You can do both.

To say that online YOUTUBE/FACEBOOK (CONTAIN CREATOR) users are increasing day by day, because it is a programming online business, it is possible to earn money if you get a little publicity like comments. In today's world people prefer this programming online as a main source of money, because it is easy and profitable to earn in this Crypto either a program or a wrong setup. But I think online YOUTUBE/FACEBOOK (CONTAIN CREATOR) should give more importance to Bitcoin along with digital web browsing, because Bitcoin will play an important role in earning money in near future as a digital creator. So I think Bitcoin investment is a good step from another digital creator into the cryptocurrency world.

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter which is more profitable than the other as, you obviously can’t do both. The important factor to any business or investment you might have is if your making money. If you seek the path to find out which idea more, of course you would always find a more profitable field depending on your level of expertise and even then, it wouldn’t serve you no good as you can’t do everything. You only get to stick with one and be better at it.

content creating is not that so easy to do, if you go close those successful content creators you realise how expensive and time taking the job is, and to create a video that can generate traffic before you get paid also doesn't comes easy that is why you see those content creator ditching out tons of videos because they can't tell which of the videos will  go viral and earn them the highest pay at the end of the month.

So when I see many Nigerians going into Content creating simply because Facebook recently monitized Nigerians users which make many Nigerians to think that it will result into automatic earnings for them, but in the end and short while from now many will discover how much time they have wasted on that content that lack engagements.

I think you understand the deal. I remember how Micheal Angel was been interviewed and how Facebook monetization was helping them make more than $100k a month, he wasn't capping because evidence dy. YouTube was paying them more of that amount to $160k I think and he was focus on how algorithm do help content creators, there is money in crypto and there is money in contents creating, your niche is what really determine your income.

However, I think one can do the two you know. You can have the knowledge of crypto and do your thing and then use that knowledge to make contents for people that are aspiring to learn about crypto. You can do content on things that are trending in crypto and algorithm will lead them to your page which can help you increase your video views with more income per advert.

To both are good sha , you know that they are some content creators who haven't show themselves to their audience especially those that deal with animations contents. Well to me I will go with content creators because with that I can make good amount of money aslong my account is monetize, and I can easily invest some of those money on cryptocurrencies just as Charles-Tim said, cryptocurrencies is open for everyone aslong you have the money to invest you are good to go .

Like for trading is not everytime the market will go your way sometimes you will endup losing while sometimes you endup winning but for content creating, aslong your account has been monetize you be getting pay for the content you create and you can also be lucky to meet some nice client that will pay handsomely.

That's very true but content creating also requires time and resources if you really want to go far in it, consider the fact that you need a good device with a good camera quality and also micro phone for audibility, these things are not cheap.. Growing a social media account can take a long time but with a fair amount of money and the right knowledge you can make money on the crypto market on a weekly or monthly basis.. content creating is More profitable but building your social media space might take a year, can you wait that long?

That's absolutely correct because the fact remains that both crypto and content creation has almost the same chances of making profits just like you listed and truly to become successful among the two is solemnly depends on the efforts and determination you put in them but however the only factor that somehow distinguish them is the possibility of there earning pattern because in as much as cryptocurrency is very difficult to trade and mostly not encouraging for me but there are people who easily earn from it unlike content creation that you will spend so much money for a good smart phones and so many other accessories before you will start and even after that the chances of making money is still not certain because is only when you have enough subscribers you will be able to start earning.

You're correct mate, in content creation you must be skillful and talented, not just that you have to have larger audience, share and viewers before you can be allowed to monetize. It's takes longer time to build and connection too, you have to make your audience laugh 24hrs to get pay. But in cryptocurrency you don't need people, only knowledge of ut and you are good to go. Again and again since am not funny enough I'll remain in my cryptocurrency business.

For dis kain matter, I feel say na content creators go better, because once everybody sabi you for YouTube and you monetize your channel with better content creator, every video wey you drop go go viral, and you go fit make plenty money. Later you fit invest for crypto with that money.

Exactly..content creation is a good business but there is more to it than how people see it. I will say cryptocurrency is for everyone but content creation is not for everyone. Here are my reasons for saying that, before you can be a content creator you must have the following:

1. skills.. you must be skillful to be a content creator
2. Grace... If you don't have that grace/calling, you may not be able to do it because it's not for everybody
3. Consistency .. you must be consistent not doing one today and stop tomorrow, it is called (short time grace)
4. Creativity.. your content must be creative and educative to the public not just creating content but creating educative content because no body want to waste their data watching something that is not meaningful or adding value to their life.

Conclusion
 if you don't have the skill to keep people busy and always updated in new things that will motivated them, you will lose followers to a new content creators who has what you don't have. The market is full of competition and if you don't have the grace, you may not reach your final destination. I could see many people that did content creation but didn't gain view or even have followers because they don't have the required skill and they got exhausted and quit. But some where so fortunate to withstand and made it.

I would validate your point sir, content creation with a very unique niche is Very rewarding and gives fast and consistent funds when you keep being creative and engage your audience.  we've seen some guys in the industry go from being broke to having mega funds in shorter periods of time compared to bitcoin price appreciation.

Then in the event of having lots of money and possible investment, bitcoin investment comes in handy as it is a store of value and hedges your funds against inflation, and increases the value of your investment with its price appreciation.

I like your points but all these things you talk about content creating also depends on the kind of content you’re creating and I know of commend Ian’s and some other content creators wey no Dey comot from their house but them Dey make money wey no good and also try check the story of pellet and just incase you never hear the recent news about pellet say, HABBYFX just gift that guy one super car worth $150k and imagine that money for our local currency make you know say na content fame wey fame Dey bring.

Maybe I no present myself well but wetin I Dey try talk be say, we fit still gain from the two at once either doing some content about cryptocurrency related issues while earning from crypto or earn from content and invest in crypto, whichever way, just make profit and stay profitable

Boss you have already taking side ahahahah, you feel say content creation is more profitable than crypto for this your writing,  like I dey always talk, in content creation or crypto you need capital to start, for crypto as learner you fit buy keep go sleep and you go get plenty profit when price increase. But you no fit create a page for content creation and go sleep,  nothing you go earn. Because in content you need dey street everyday or house dey make videos for people to like, share, view and comment before you fit monetize your page. But crypto no need crowd to like you or share anything,  all you need na data and good  phone and you're good to go. Both get massive profits depend on your efforts.

Frankly, no need for comparison because to me, there is no need as the gap is massive.
Anyone can start content creation and if your star shines over there, I’m sure you already know the outcome as the rewards from content creation are always massive and with proper planning, the rewards can be invested in cryptocurrency and that’s already massive financial diversification.

So if we’re to place a sequence, aside the earning from the forum, I will say the right sequence is content creation before moving into the cryptocurrency market but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be having preliminary knowledge of what you intend investing into.

So without comparison, content creating is a great one for anyone who can find a path there.

I like your idea because regardless of the extent to which content creators goes in order for them to get views and followers, when they have succeeded in winning the hearts of their viewers and followers it becomes more of a profit making business and they can use the proceeds to invest on cryptocurrency, and the content creating becomes more of income generating means since you are sure of your money inasmuch as you are creating good contents consistently.

Sometimes when a question is being asked some people don't think before they give their answers and they feel they answered it to the best of their satisfaction but we should be real and analyze things in a more real sense. I know some people go to length (extreme) but inasmuch as they are not causing harm to themselves or the public then it's fine. We have seen most people rise up to stardom just because of content creating and most of them have owned a lot of investment through it so whatever one is doing that generates income for them genuinely without defrauding people or committing various crimes to get it, they can go for it. To create meaningful contents is not even easy so it requires so much calculation, consideration and attention.

I believe it will depend on how God wants to bless a person some people are into something that’s not really profitable but with Gods grace and blessings they will be more successful than someone into music or other things so the same is relatable to your question, some people into crypto might be more blessed and so might be richer than a person who is into content creation and vise versa but generally i believe content creation is more profitable when compared to crypto trading/investing. The most important thing is to be good at what you’re doing.

For me this kind of Comparison is outside the box, the comparison should only be related to means of income in the Bitcoin space. Nevertheless I can't tell, there is enough money in Bitcoin space likewise Social Media both has her prons and cons, in essence be serious about anything that will generate you money.

OP, I would also detest you talking about luxurious lifestyle as a show of how far Money is in any sector.

As naija guy take the two serious as fast as you can, both have the potential to change your condition from grass to grace if your put more effort.  Crypto and content creation Don really help so many youths wey no get any body we go push them for life,  all you need na smart phone and data then consistency. As Facebook Don monetized naija naso plenty users go turn billionaires and millionaires in few year to come. Na opportunity you no go play with, then if your not get money to start Crypto then start by playing games like dogs ,kombate and tapswap coin ,if them list am you go smile to the bank. These two things Don make youths for naija blow welller I really happy say me too go benefit one day.

I agree with you, content creation is more profitable than cryptocurrency because content creation doesn’t mean that you have to invest before you can be able to make money from it, I have seen many content creators who are cashing out every week and they earn more than $1,000 but in cryptocurrency before earning that amount you will know what you do before getting that amount, content creation this day is very profitable and that is why people are rushing to start making content up and down so that they can make money from it and I didn’t see anything wrong with it because everyone wants to do anything that can put food on their table.

Cryptocurrency is very risky but in content creation, you don’t need to think that it is a risky thing, all you need to do is to have data in your phone and get followers and viewers that will make you able to cash out big money, content creation is very profitable and those who are lucky are the ones making money on it, although you can make money from both cryptocurrencies and content creation, to be honest with each other content creation is better.

Later given this a second thought i tend to understand that anyone could be better just like you have explained. The success for anyone nor the probability of one making you more successful than the other is based on our effort and resources we put on each other. Content creator may seem easy to start but don't forget that successful one makes use of quality tool in creating those contents. Like quality cameras, nice recreational l places and some other things. On the other hand, Crypto investment needs high funding for high return. There is nothing easy or anything that won't make us successful it depends on us to give it the right resources and time.

Let's expand this topic to some extent and check out the difference clearly, do you also include Blockchain and crypto developers into this argument, if so then I think crypto developers and Content creators are not at the same range of getting high paid. The both requires consistency and hard work though but developers profits more than content creators.

A developer can get up to $50k from a successful project where he/she can get involved in more than one project in a month, so let calculate how much a developer can get from building 5 projects in a month,

I don't know how much content creators get from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, although, their pay depends on the number of followers and views per content, but how much could they get in a month compared to crypto developers.

Everyone has shared their ideas and replies to your questions. In my opinion, we shouldn't compare this, content creators are more profitable than crypto investors, do you know why? Content creators make money on each video they create and post, every content creator account has a lot of followers and subscribers on their YouTube channels, meaning that they make a lot of money on every single video they post, however, as an investor, you must wait for a while before you can make a large profit on your investment. Mate, there's money in content creators, in this country, they're even getting more popular than some music celebrities. Don't you see how all of them are spending money to get an expensive car? In just two years, content creators are becoming millionaires, base on say money dey content creators, we should not underrate them, they get money.

Content creation is quite profitable and might look the easier but it requires patience, hard work and consistency. It becomes profitable when you must have met a standard (Views, followers, etc). While Crypto investing requires the right knowledge and the funds to push it. No b everybody get the money to invest but I think crypto is more profitable coz sometimes u might just invest little and your profits is very HUGE.
Take for instance the airdrops, which are becoming more and more profitable with less efforts than content creation.

I still think the two can perform equally depending on how you choose to put work into it. Leveraging well on the available technology the two can return well. But personally, I'll go with content creation. My reason being that(using YouTube as an example) if you get the required video to meet up the YouTube standard, even if you stop adding more content as along as the video is increasing, the income stream will still be active. But a better suggestion is combining the two, making content on crypto in this case you're getting the profit of the two.

We no loud because we no dey see the money, if we see the money over loud go finish us. Content creation money no be here if you dun blow. Their money fit dey come on a steadily because skit wey you make since last year fit dey pay you better block still in next 5-10 years (Ask Mark Angle comedy na) but Bitcoin money na if you dun chop am, you dun chop am. Trading no easy on e own but e no mean say you no fit run am successfully. You go gas dey more invested if na trading dey your mind because e no easy to master am well be say anytime wey you wan enter market say you wan trade, say you go get assurance say the market go soft for you.


Na content creation for everybody based on say money no dey to become a big time investors but if you hold block investing better pass. For content creation you can be nothing today and blow over night because of one mumu thing wey you do. People self dey blow from just mimicking other celebrities abi no be so people dun mimick Davido to build a career for them. If you get skills like dancing and others skils, you fit still run am for content creation and blow but if you no get money no think say investing na for you unless you have a source that generate money for you that you can use to Naira/dollar cost average into Bitcoin and build a strong holding over time.

What works for you is what is profitable. Whichever you choose and dedicate time to, like six months, learning about the ins and outs of it, will be more profitable.

Studying the platform, learning strategies to be among the top 1% in the field, and learning tips and hacks to grow in the business will pay off.

I'll say this is not an objective topic; you can choose whichever you prefer, and you can still do both.
All you need is to effectively manage your time to create your content, whether video, audio, or written, and distribute it for wide visibility while still investing in crypto.

Fine, the capital required for starting content creation can be relatively cheaper compared to crypto, but in the long run, they are both worth the investment.

both are Lucrative for youths and aged parents, you have to measure your strength and creativity. Content will take you more time than cryptocurrency before you gain. In content you need more followers and you need to be on the street everyday to create content, but in cryptocurrency you just need a smart for and little cash, as a content creator you need cryptocurrency knowledge,  because of our their paid are in cryptocurrency. Both are profitable for the youths

Well my brother na 9ja we dey things like this dey happen, man most work, well to me the both are very profitable content creation or crypto investments, if u check am well well most social media skits maker dey also run into the world of crypto now like this, just take a look at sabinus him don go run create  meme coin just to cash out and make the meme coin rug and him no to no much about cryptocurrencies, so to me I go just say the both na better investments to do if the funds dey.

Meanwhile one person fit do the both are the same time he go just need funds that all if na crypto pay am fast him go just need to use the profits upgrade him video edition and and also boost him followers .

Well for me I think  content creation is more profitable, content creation is just like a skill that is been acquired is just the same thing as someone who has a job because you will be earning salary every week but  for bitcoin you will still need to holdl for Long term before you can make a good profit. bitcoin investment isn't a get rich quick scheme but a content creator can make a huge amount of money within a couple of months, that's for those content creators who are popularly known sometimes your fan can even surprise you with something very huge. 

Exactly, if nobody watch your content you are going no where because in content creation your faith lies on the hands of your fans, content creation is so much work and if you are not loved the criticism could make you develop low self-esteem and put you in depression and there's no profit in that. If you use the right strategy for crypto you will make profit without relying on anyone (fans) to decide your faith and it would even take you some years to be recognized as a content creation.

For me I go for content creation, because if u be good content creator and u start to collect you fit still come invest for any crypto currency of your choice and start to dey cash out from two places and from the profit wey u go get from ur crypto investment you fit still use am dey push ur page more and more as a content creator your mind go dey one place but as a crypto investor u no go get that much peace when content creators get content creation na something wey u dey in charge of but crypto na online something wey anything fit happen at anytime.

Content creation can pay quick returns for those who are successful.

On the other hand; Crypto trading/investing can give high profit but high risk and long time horizon for safe return.

If you fit do content creating and investment or trade at the same time na your luck be that because investment dey different from full time job because wetin I dey see na people dey make money from YouTube, TikTok and other social media apps, at the same time I reason say you fit invest for bitcoin dey do your influencing job. No serious competition because all go still give you profit and at the same time both go take time before you go see profit, firstly to build followers and audience no dey easy at all na why you see say the upcoming content creators never still popular and secondly you go look wetin people like or want like for example my favorite YouTube shows wey I dey subscribe steady na comedy and baking class so if any content creator go for popular field the person go quick grow likewise crypto, bitcoin investment no be sharp sharp game.

Both are major hit in the internet era,  both required consistency  to make it big time. Both needs mentorship and patience. But in Crypto you don't need to work for anybody to be successful,  you just need the knowledge and understanding to excel, but in content creation you need people to excel, you need likes, comments nd share to earn. In Crypto you just need ur capital and patience to be big. So Both needs consistency, but I'll choose Crypto over content creation, because Crypto isn't as stressful as content.

We can call Crypto software, while content creation is the hardware.lol

Crypto and content creation all of dem get de potential to be bring profit, as long as say u no wetin u dey do. From my own reason if I go choose one I go choose content creation, because Content creation fit dey very accessible to start, just need small thing like Android phone with good camera. Once you dey put out good content u go attract good audience and start to see profit. Because if I dey into crypto na investment in bitcoin no be to trade and since na investment purpose I go get to hold for years so if don make profit from content creation e go dey smart to think about investing part of am for long-term like Bitcoin .

As much as content creators generate money from their content, there are lots of them that are into crypto currency exchange, but they are actually silent about it do to the society we live in.

Most of these content creators have a lot of investment, but usually the content covers it up.

There's something I noticed about investors, or maybe Bitcoin investors. Bitcoin investors are always not showing off where they get their money randomly. Render, make it low-key, and invest in it.

If you watch the content of Egugun of Lagos, you will realize that the majority of the big boys are into one or two trading markets but disguard themselves. They are always low-key and not social media people unless they are interviewed.
Most of these people have more money than the content creators, but because they're not celebrities and their net worth is not on the internet, we always accept what we see, which is the content creators. 

It takes a long while before a content creators can get much money and fame. And some times money is also involved in getting this fame.
They don't just make it big over night, that's one thing we should know.

A look at the two shows that it can both be incorporated by an individual.  But the hustle in that of content creation make it more unlikely. But the pay also speaks louds because when you get it you have got it. The pay keeps coming even when asleep....

No one can invest on Bitcoin when they don't have money, so the important thing is to get something doing before partaking on any investment (mostly crypto currency investments). Content creating is a kind of thing that doesn't need money from you because it's a kind of thing that requires talents, as long as you have a smart phone that has a good sharp camera and you are also a good content creator, you can excel with your contents when you are good in it. If you are a good content creator and you have the requirements on any social media platforms you will surely get paid. Like on X & Instagram it's a popular social media platforms that all of us already know and it pays every 14 days and it pays depends on your impressions and the kind of traffics you gets every 14 days. Although it might be hard to get to the stage you will get paid on social media platforms but I can tell you that when you understand how it works and the kind of contents the society likes it won't be that hard for you anymore. To cut long story short, when you have the money you can invest in Bitcoin, as they said that tomorrow is another today I believe that no time is late to invest in Bitcoin but on another way round, tomorrow is late to invest in Bitcoin but if you don't have the money to invest in Bitcoin now, when you have it in future it's not late then, so you just have to buy it. As a content creator all you need is only to be funny and we know Nigeria has a lot of populations that's why 90% of content creator have become a celebrity today. You can be a contest creator and still invest in Bitcoin, but when you do only one thing, you won't have much profits, so the more you get in positive things that can bring money to you that's also you get big profits too.

Firstly, I want to let you know that none of this you mentioned here is bad, I mean they are both good but talking about content creation, if I may ask did you know what it takes to be a content creator even to the point that you are being paid all the week or months, do you know how many criteria you will have to meet. Content creation requires consistency in a particular thing one wishes to be doing and you will have to devote time for it and it always take longer period of time or maybe years for one account or page to be verified likewise crypto but I think crypto won't take much time before benefiting from it depending. Secondly, most of those people we see as content creator are into fraud while  some are into crypto, those of them that are into fraud use content creation to cover up what they are doing even some artists. In summary you can use content creation to invest in crypto and earn from there and you can also use crypto money to fresh up yourself and start creating quality content that will swift people on their feet.

if we're doing a direct comparison in terms of choosing iether crypto or content creation, the fastest decision would be to choose content creation because you don't need to have too much before getting started as a content creator. As long as you have the needed skill, your camera and other small gadgets, you're good to go with your content creation. But when you're considering going into crypto, you need to have a strong source of income before even getting started. In addition to that, a staçk illiterate can't start up Bitcoin investments/ trading. But when you're considering content creation, most of the people that are into it aren't all that smart and you don't even have to know how to read before getting started. It's just expected that you have the needed talents or content and that's just it.

In terms of capital that could be generated from the two options, content creation is still a better option because it's easier for a total novice in the content creation industry to maneuver his way into getting his account monitzed but when it comes to crypto, you have to follow real process and have the fundamental knowledge or else you might end up loosing the money you already have.

This a technical questions which needs patient to deal with. We can't just say content creating is more profitable but content creating will give you instant profit but cryptocurrency investment takes time before your can make profit. And if your invest in cryptocurrency with good amount then there is always a probability that you will make profit at the long run. But not all the content creators can make money from the content.
Therefore I will also support the motion that cryptocurrency is more profitable than content creation base on the fact that, if nobody watch your content then there is no profit from it. Bitcoin investment is not like that.

No be lie sha, na e make I dey proud to be a Nigerian because of our abilities and capacitas well because anyhow wey we won take survive we go just do am as far say na legal activity, we go do am.

Nothing dey easy free for this world o, everything na by money, like as people dey talk say na money dem dey carry to pursue money, no where e easy, the only be say anywhere wey person dey good at, make the person do although e get some people wey dey do the two at same time and dem dey benefit from the two but na just dedication e go require and time and we wey be Nigerians dey ready to do anything as far as e no go implicate us in any way, we go do am.

Well I would choose content creation for one peculiar reason and that would be due to the risk involved with in crypto trading although for investment in bitcoin I think every one knowing the basics can invest and with the way things have already gone big with bitcoin the profits attached to just investing on bitcoin is not close to the money that content creation can generate for you if actually you are successful and know exactly what you are doing.

For ours, the country will make you to any length to be able to fend for yourself, but that doesn’t mean you should spread fake news or immorality in the society in order to get food on your table. Content creation is a very good business and if are a deep thinker and can sell what the people want to them, you’ll make money from content creation far better than you can imagine. The crowds are always in need of new trends and if you can produce contents that can suit that trend needed at that moment, you’ll be much loved and get peoples attention  and more followers that you can even imagine. Don’t go out of trend and be innovative always, you’ll see how far you’ll make it in the content creation industry than you can do in other sectors you can think of to be profitable.


Both are profitable but it depends on your niche and what you can afford to sacrifice to get what you want. Not everyone can be a public figure or portray themselves online but with crypto trading or investing, you can remain anonymous forever and be making your cool money day in day out. It’s just the risk that is associated with cryptocurrency that will make some people to go for other profitable investments, but crypto will make you money if you’ve understood how the market works and set your compasses well when venturing into it as a trader or as an investor.

The first person who gave you a good reply and i will as well go for content creation. Just like you have said not every content creator makes stupid and unnecessary contents in their pages. If am to go into it i will do something that is worth benefitting to my viewers and when i start getting paid i will surely invest in Bitcoin comfortably because i now know a lot about Bitcoin investment and how to manage my funds.

Content creation brings more money to the table, and you can even get paid to do advertisements for big companies. I will look at it as a way of earning money, and the money made from content creation can be used to invest in Bitcoin, as people are now making a living by investing in Bitcoin. And are now really considering content creation because there is clearly money there, and people will go where there is money. Content creation is a popular job, with many young individuals pursuing it with enthusiasm.

I like how things change and new opportunities to make money arise, so it's either you make money or you don't, which is why it's a good idea to try new things. In the next few years now you see another opportunity for making money. Since its everyone that can invest in bitcoin. Having other side hustle just makes the whole thing very easy. Now is more like make money and invest. And this will even be a good opportunity for those that are holding.

Content creation pays a lot of money, most times you don't really have to be too wealthy to venture into it, the knowledge to start it is not too much, having a phone and a data, you can start your own skit making or content creating, the funny thing is, even though the skit or content is not funny or informative, you will still see people engaging them a lot on social media.Meanwhile crypto trading/investment is highly technical and involves a lot knowledge, it also involves you having resources to venture into it, so ordinarily much people will go for the easy one which is social media skit or content creation which will give you money with less technicality.

you know, one issue with being a content creator is that your fans are literally the ones that determines if you're going to remain in business or not. The moment you've lost your fanbase and you're no longer gaining the needed popularity, they literally forget about you as though you don't even exist. If you observe, it's just like content creators just come and then some phase our and new ones come in. The only good thing I have observed about them is that they are wise enough to invest into meaningful things at the time the money was coming in and even when popularity dies down it doesn't affect them that much because of what they've invested into.

Another thing to note about traders/investors is that you can decide to create content out of it. The likes of B-lord and fresh forex academy (though not into crypto) still have a large fan base they engage with and still earn money from creating crypto related content. Content creation doesn't mean that you must be a comedian or musician before creating content. If you've gained the required knowledge as a trader or you know best practices to be followed in Bitcoin investment, you can decide to create a Facebook page, YouTube channel and even a tiktok account where you share your knowledge with people and you will get your fanbase.

People are actually more interested in gaining financial dependent and if you're ready to run a channel as a content crypto trader/investor, you could earn from your channel as a content creator while still earning from your crypto trading.

We're in a country where a single stream of income can't foot your bills and so for me, a combination of both content creation and crypto trading/investing is the most profitable.

Social life is all about hyping and uncertainty and it's equivalent to the AltCoins. That's literally to say the insights about them are disguised on calling public attentions for attaining viewers of the social contents just as the meme gaming projects and its features.
So don't think those content creators has made it richly in the reality life or to believe that those hyping AltCoins are so legitimate and profitable as maybe speculated in the media.

Mind you that before a content creators social account can be verified and monetized, it'd take periods of time in building the network while thriving on gathering audience as their followers and viewers. Perhaps, most content creators actually made it profitable while some gives up on the way because it doesn't seem that easy to earn from the network. As much, even those who're successful in the content creations doesn't really Worth the status because they're all hypers living false celebrity lifestyles.

Bitcoin and other reputable AltCoins are basically investment projects which is fostered on a long term holding to achieve a profitable goal and investors abilities to hodl for long is always unfailingly to profit investors and Investing on cryptocurrency encourages financial utilizations unlike the extravagant lifestyles of content creators spending their funds unnecessarily.

You are actually correct in this. Content creation pays a lot especially now that monetization have become a thing across various platforms. The same content can generate income in Meta, Youtube, X, Instagram and many others and the same will continue generating income as long as it is online and being visited. It is even possible for a content creator to be a great investor in bitcoin using the proceed of the content because bitcoin investment requires capital. Content creation is truly changing lives and most of the huge holders of bitcoin are actually content creators who use crypto as a means of diversification.

I know there are like super rich content creators but Some of the richest people in the world are actually traders/investors. Most traders don't need to show off but but content creators, I think it's a necessity because you to play the long game and keep the fans happy. Aside from riches or anything like that, na only traders and investors get the complete autonomy to control their destiny and how much them fit earn while content creators own dey heavily dependent on how many fans them fit pull and whether or not the platform them dey create content on, actually make profits from the traffic the content bring.

If Google and YouTube start making fewer revenues, payment for content creators go definitely drop. I know say traders/investors own, their nemesis go be nemesis or unfavorable market conditions but still, I feel like it offers much more opportunities.

Firstly, you cannot always judge profit from the outside.

Secondly, the profit a content creator will make will depend on the level they have gotten to in content creation and the number of fans that they have, likewise the profit made by crypto trader/investor will depend on the level of knowledge/information that they possess.

There are opportunities in both sectors for any individual to earn profitably.

Actually no one is easy, you can see we have successful crypto investors and also successful content creators. If you check very well not all content creators are successful same way it applies in the crypto industry. Let's not just use within the Nigerian context and conclude that content creators are making it more than crypto investors. Everything requires following the right principles and when you do success is inevitable. Let me take CZ for example who took crypto currency business serious he succeeded. The only reason why we are feeling that content creators are making it more is because they are always flaunting their wealth. Unlike successful crypto traders and investors they don't flaunt their wealth, so people will conclude that content creators are wealthier because of what they are seeing.

Content creation is more profitable than crypto trading or investing because once you build up the required audience that will give you traffic on your creations anytime you post them on your social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, you will start earning money instantly. There are a lot of Nigerian youths who are making good money from content creation, such as people like Sabinus. Content creators also make money by advertising a product through their social media accounts; you will need to pay them a lot of money for content creators to promote your product for you. Content creators also make money from their shows, which gives them extra money.

To invest/buy bitcoin, you need to have money; some people dey lucky to dey work for crypto projects or promote/advertise them, for example, through signature campaigns, but if you no dey into that, you have to buy bitcoin with your money, and you need to be working or earning money in real life to be able to channel the funds into buying bitcoin.

Crypto no be job, even if you wanna engage in crypto trading, you still need money to be able to buy the coins, crypto usually dey profitable for people wey get the money to buy a lot of it or people wey be early investors. So if content creating makes sense and you believe say e fit give you money, then do it, you go fit use the money buy bitcoins and still look for crypto jobs to do online.

Most of us would choose content creation because it will give us recurring income and at the same time won't be as stressful as trading because in content creation you don't risk your money hence people would prefer but if we sit back and look at the returns which we would have got with minimal investment and cashing out at the right time in crypto people would go for crypto instead of content creation but most of us don't have patience which is the key hence people fail in crypto.

Crypto investment dey profitable pass content creating but the reason why most youths dey go into content creating na to get the fame and to earn from those monetized social media platforms.Crypto investment [Bitcoin] no be for short term and crypto trading no be something wey dey certain say u go dey cashout 24/7 but content creators dey cashout from their verified social media accounts maybe weekly or monthly if I'm not mistaking so dat one no go fit stop any content creator not to invest in crypto,the crypto market dey accessible by anyone wey wan invest.Crypto trading/investing and content creating na online means of earning,even most Nigeria content creators dey invest on crypto if dem no tell you how you wan take know,so na so e be for Naija oh anyhow is a how.

For me, I will also go for content creation, because unlike crypto trading which requires money to make more money, when it comes to Content creation, a user can earn money while just ordinarily providing value to its viewers, and it runs on autopilot, which means you keep making money even while sleeping. So it's actually a lucrative skill, which can both be done by showing your face and also by running it as a faceless Facebook page or YouTube channel. And as a crypto enthusiast, you can still be a crypto trader and also a content creator who teaches people about trading either Bitcoin or all other altcoins.

I will go for content creation. Because anyone can invest in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies of choice so far you have money. If you are a good content creator, you will have money that you can invest in cryptocurrencies. Even if you lose some of the money, your content creation is a job that you can use to earn more money.

Since most youths have seen that social media skit makers are cashing out big and living expensive lifestyles, we've noticed a majority of youths creating content up and down some of which are too irrelevant and contribute nothing to the viewers. They just want to get paid and since they want to get the required views and followers before their account is monetized, they are willing to go to any extent just to look for views including showing nudity and spreading false and unverified news just to attract their audience. In the end, some of them luckily get their accounts monetized and earn from it pulling up more crowds into the sector as though it's the only source of wealth in the digital space.

For us at this end, we know that ours isn't as loud as that of content creators and most of us normally enjoy doing things on the low key to avoid too much attention from our financial agencies since it appears as though they have a thing against us. For the traders, we know the risk involved and that it could get too good at some point or get bad at some other time, and then for the long-term investor, we know that our return doesn't come within a short space of time compared to most verified content creators that are currently earning from their page.

Which is more profitable? Content creators or crypto traders/investors.
