'Only RM415 for 56,000 views' - M'sian content creator exposes ad revenue per video
THINKING about delving into content creation? Think again, says a Malaysian food-based content creator who recently pointed out that this career does not guarantee overnight success. 'I'm not trying to discourage anyone, but it's important to acknowledge reality,' said well-known content creator Che Nom in a Facebook post. Che Nom reminded those considering a career in online content creation that passion alone is not enough, emphasising the importance of quality and how much it takes to make such online content. 'If you rely solely on revenue from YouTube advertisements, that's not enough,' she said in her post. Che Nom also shared that newcomers, especially those with videos receiving fewer than 3,000 views, may not even earn up to RM2,500. Using one of her own recipe videos as an example, she revealed that it earned only RM415.40 from 56,000 views—even a month after it was posted. 'This recipe was actually difficult to execute – I had to test it multiple times, the ingredients were expensive, and filming the video also took a long time.' She added that the cost of producing five to six videos can range between RM12,000 and RM16,000. Some of the costs listed include: - Videographer: RM2,500 – RM3,500 - Editor: RM2,500 – RM3,000 - Kitchen assistant: RM2,000 – RM2,500 Che Nom also noted that even experienced content creators are struggling to sustain their platforms, especially with more viewers now gravitating towards short-form video platforms like TikTok. 'There are so many content creators now. If your video isn't sharp or the audio isn't clear, viewers will just swipe away. Audiences are more selective these days,' she explained. With that in mind, she advised aspiring creators to diversify their sources of income and never rely solely on ad revenue. Many agreed that content creation is a challenging career path, where the effort often outweighs the reward. One user also pointed out another common challenge content creators face—having their content 'stolen' and reposted by other social media accounts without proper credit, which can negatively affect both viewership and revenue. 'This is absolutely true. There's a lot of effort, cost, and sacrifice behind the scenes that we as viewers don't always see,' one user commented.

Lawsuit issue: Fazura leaves it to her lawyers
Published on: Saturday, June 21, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jun 21, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly two months have passed since allegations emerged that the company owned by popular actress and entrepreneur Nur Fazura Sharifuddin ( pic ) failed to settle a RM4.65 million debt owed to a headscarf manufacturing factory. Despite being repeatedly pressed by the claimant as well as by netizens on social media to address the issue, the celebrity has remained silent, going about her daily life, including promoting her headscarves on social media. Speaking to reporters at a press conference after launching the music video of her latest single 'Luar Biasa' here last night, Fazura, 41, said the lawsuit against her company is a confidential matter and has been handed over to her lawyers for further action. Fazura, who is also a singer and television host, said she preferred not to comment further as it involves two separate entities. "Honestly, there's nothing I can explain because we have to understand that I, Fazura, and the company are two different entities. I can't comment on company matters as that is beyond my scope as an individual. The company is the company, and Fazura is me personally, that's the distinction. "So really, I can't say much about the company or whatever is going on. I've left all my company-related matters to my lawyers to take action," she said. Fazura made these remarks when asked by reporters to comment on the RM4.65 million lawsuit filed by a headscarf supplier against her company Pink Fate Sdn Bhd. Advertisement Admitting that she is affected by the controversy, the 'Pisau Cukur' star said such issues are among the challenges any entrepreneur must face. "What haven't I gone through in the past eight months? Of course, I've been affected. I'm not someone without feelings but as an entrepreneur, I understand this is normal. I don't think it's necessary to explain, because outsiders may not understand and could twist the facts," she said. "I know the business I'm running isn't a small one and I'm confident all entrepreneurs out there will understand the challenges that come with being in the business world," she added. According to media reports early last month, headscarf manufacturer Obor Holding Sdn Bhd is taking legal action against Pink Fate for allegedly owing the company RM4.65 million. Obor Holding claimed that Pink Fate had only paid RM2.68 million out of the total RM7.3 million value of headscarves supplied since June 2022. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
