Ghanaian actor and skit maker Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi, popularly known as Dr Likee, recently shared the story of his first YouTube earnings with the assistance of fellow YouTuber Wode Maya.

In an interview with Emelia Brobbey, Dr Likee revealed that his initial YouTube video generated an impressive $20,000, equivalent to GH¢304,000.

Dr Likee recounted how Wode Maya guided him through the process.

Maya sent him a document via WhatsApp and instructed him to take it to the bank.

Unfamiliar with the document's purpose, Dr Likee was astonished when a bank employee counted out $20,000 in cash for him.

Initially confused and suspicious, he eventually realized the substantial payout was genuine.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Dr Likee contacted Wode Maya to express his thanks.

Maya advised him to ignore naysayers and to continue focusing on creating quality skits, assuring him that it would be profitable in the long run.

Dr Likee's experience highlights the significant impact of Wode Maya's guidance in leveraging social media to boost his career.

“I was shocked at first because I didn't know why he had given me the money, I even thought it was a trap. By the time I got home and counted the money, it was in the region of $20,000,” he narrated.

The actor expressed his deep gratitude to fellow Ghanaian YouTuber Wode Maya, who was instrumental in guiding him on how to leverage social media to enhance his career.

"That was when I called Wode Maya to thank him. He advised me not to listen to messages from people discouraging me and to focus on making skits, that if I do it well, it will be profitable for me,” he said.
