Love the music played at the end, very soothing and heartfelt. Thanks for all the youtube information, never knew all that stuff. Hope you excel and prosper, best wishes.
Just wanted pull up a video and say how thankful I am to have found you! You aren't afraid to be honest about your music, your knowledge, and your experiences making it as a musician. Thank you, Helen! Please don't ever quit playing guitar and helping the musicians of today learn what you have for us to learn ❤ Love you, please keep it up and I'm sure it will only continue to pay off more! ☺
Yes Helen dear, do you hear that? We just want to hear you play even if it's just plucking strings with a nice tone. You could even hum along and we would love it!
Agree, she doesn't need it. But... Cover songs can give you a big amount of new audience. That's why she and so many other does it and it quite works. So she shouldn't stop even tough monetization is a problem.
Hi Helen , This is Michael In Colorado and I personally want to thank you for doing the Video explaining how to get money from TH-cam and also how Skillshare can help a person with business and technical training that can get them to the next level. I seriously should consider doing these classes myself. Thanks again 🙂
I wish you had been around when Mark Knopfler recorded the soundtrack to “Local Hero”. The collaboration would have been magical. Great sensitivity in your playing. Ti o dara julo lopo.
Helen, you make great music just noodling. I know you said you were in a creative block, but if you could make videos of your own creative tunes, you'll be amazed at how many views you would get with no copyright issues! You can play that damn guitar and we love the music you make. You'll probably be amazed at how much money you would make just noodling around on your guitars!
Helen, Someone needs to sign you if they haven’t! I am star struck! You the most beautiful and most talented hidden gem I have ever seen! Never get discouraged! Go on those GOT TELENT shows! I would vote for you!!!!! -Dan USA!
Nice detailed description of how TH-cam works. I am a very small content creator at the moment and recently had up to eight of my videos taken down due to a copyright claim. One of them had been there for months. I have also put several of my own music recordings up on TH-cam and one song. They received very little views though. I am keeping up the kind of content I have always done as that has the most views. Someday, I hope my channel is somewhere near as successful as yours.
Look at you being your beautiful authentic self and talking about an important topic that some people aren’t all that comfortable discussing. What a blessing you are. Thank you for putting your lovely self and gorgeous music out there to help comfort a tired and jaded world. I just wanted to let you know that you have my sincere thanks and admiration. On those days we all have sometimes when you may feel frustrated and like giving up, please be gentle with yourself and remember that you are making a difference.
Helen, I never knew that having a TH-cam channel was so complex! It makes me appreciate what you do even more. But certainly they rate videos more highly when they are made by people who are extremely talented, super smart, and incredibly beautiful!!
Thank you! I make covers and once I get monetized, I’m not going to have high expectations for AdSense, but I think just having an audience alone is very valuable.
Hello Helen. Your videos are great and inspiring. I must acknowlegde that you are beautiful and very intelligent. I want to say that your dress sense betrays all the potential and creativity you have shown in your videos. Pls dress more modestly. Your skill set and wonderful output are enough incentive to attract viewers like me. Ibu ada igbo. You are highly dignified already my sister. Keep inspiring all the people who follow your music
Congratulations Helen on your musical, financial and business achievements, plus I love that music you're playing at the end. You're a talented, dedicated and skilled musician and songwriter.
Well done, Helen. I think the thumbs down people just wanted to listen to your musical talent for free AGAIN. Heaven forbid they should engage with you. 😂 I am now on Patreon. 💜😷
I literally wanted to sign up to Skill Share in the middle of this, No lie! Also, thank you for being so transparent and giving all of us insight to just how much work goes into what you do and how little you get compensated for all of it. Sheesh! I love your amazing heartfelt content, your vibe, and well... YOU! xo ;-)
Thanks for posting this it's messed up on the sharing part on the percentage part they should tell you on the cost of the cover that you should get and what they should get like sting and juice wrld.
If only I could play half as well as you Helen. You've got that great mix of that African sound and the rock blues. I met a guy from Nigeria many many years ago. He was called Henry Bessman, he had that same touch.
There must be a compromise between the content providers, YT and the artist's lawyers where a fund/pot can be created and used to allow the content provider to showcase the non-original song. By paying a small fee, each provider can grow their channel and the song's creators get a piece of the action. If I was an artist, I rather make something (even small amounts) off the video exposure and let their 'brand' reach the most diverse audience. God Bless.
I haven't got a clue about the 'new' music business. But the old old one was brutal. I'd be another patreon, but I 'm broke. You're beautiful, talented, and people realise. Wipe this if it pisses people off, but the TH-cam casting couch is a metaphorical reality. Become rich, you deserve it. x
@@HelenIbemusic I'm listening, a lot of Western kids get an urge to be anti-establishment 'punk rockers' then lose interest, and work for the establishment they were opposed to. Hypocrisy should be a genre. Stay true to yourself. x
GodBLESS. I understand Helen ,your not getting rich doin TH-cam,But your staying almost,. LIKE DAD would say SOMETHING BETTER than NOTHING! Just THANK the LORD for YOU TUBE, for keeping FOOD on the TABLE, a ROOF over your HEAD,. And the BILLS to. PAID, GIVE GOD GRATATUDE. Be BLESSED Helen THANKS for the INSIGHT!!!
Thanks Helen for being an inspiration to many musicians and for this informative video. I however might have the part where you mentioned the approximate of what you got from youtube. I would be interested in knowing🤦. We learnt a lot from this video and I thank you
I guess there is correlation between Musical instrument skills and smartness. You are smart and you know plenty things. Thank you for the education, I never even thought TH-cam can be monetized. Tu parle francais?
I am blown away by the skill this young lady has. I just viewed a teacher in US who was teaching his students how skillful she was with the music “lean on me”. I am privileged to come from the East with her. Love your skill young lady.
I wonder what viewers like me do to the CPM. I really enjoy your channel, so I tend to watch the entire video, but I subscribe to TH-cam Premium, so I don't get ads. Not seeing ads may hurt the CPM but watching the whole video, liking, and commenting should help the algorithm.
If I play improvisation musicial pieces that I create right then and there, will I have to worry about false copyright claims destroying what I work for?
Do you ever plan to release some music of just you playing the guitar. It doesn’t have to be singing a bunch of other instruments. Just simply you playing would be enough. I think you’re playing is absolutely beautiful and I would most certainly listen to an tracks of you just playing. You can put together a website and allow people to download along with instructions that are downloaded as well.
Hi Helen you’re an Inspiration ❤❤My 12 yr old granddaughter is encouraged to play with excellence because of You💖💖Thank you for sharing your gift and talent to us all. We ❤you❤❤❤
This day's dress, how may I serve you, goddess! This is major Africa power! ...... Wait, there are Helen Ibe shirts?! If I wear the shirt or logo, can join the Helen Ibe army of ultimate goodness?
30% composer, 30% lyricist, 30% producer - 10% for the interpreter, production and publicity is the formula in the music-biz since its existence! Example: worldwide known Boney M had to share 2% by the four, and when they wanted 3%, the producer, composer and lyricist in one person, Frank Farian, gave the band up! Split - this was it! Sharing a cover version starts with asking the copyright-owners' okey, after having produced and presented it. Therefore the MIDEM in Cannes is existing, taking place once a year in Cannes, France. To meet the lawyers and holders of copyrights, especially those who are dead, keeping the interests of the inheriting families. All this was basic, before TH-cam was existing! Making music is easier than living out of it. Performing interpreters and bands have to pay around 5% of the income to the national copyright agencies, just like radio stations. The interpreter's dip is his fame - using it in publicity his share. (To have explained in very short.)
Helen kudos!! This may be yur best vid ever. And I totally agree YT may be the worst grifters ever. Go on to patreon we'll follow no problem! Go with the sponsors, no problemo we'll follow, you are a total talent and you are smart enough to pick good ones

TH-cam should consider sponsoring this as their "Introduction to hosting a Channel" required training video for new channel owners.
Yes, my good reference about Helen Ibe it was Lean on me (Michael Bolton). I love so much this song. Long life for you Helen Ibe.

Great video Helen, excellent insights and fun, entertaining presentation...capped off by beautiful playing at the end!

Most youtubers are the online equivalent of street buskers. Its fine as a side hustle, but dont do it to try to avoid a normal 40hr a week job.
Hey, how do you get your good guitars to Africa, I'm in Uganda but I can't seem to find brand guitars, like fender, Pacifica, Jackson n the likes
