What are some of the steps that you take to make sure that people notice the work that you do? For someone at home was probably even in the same line of work What is it that you do to get noticed? Like the the process not is not that complicated first of all You have the you have to do your research like you go online. There are tools that you can use to see Which topics are trending online at a certain time or a certain period? Maybe within one day within one month or even 12 months. That is one year So you use the keywords that you get from that to create a certain content that goes with that those trends You can even predict To a certain period you can predict. Yeah, you can predict from what is going on at the moment So currently based on what's going on? What are you guys predicting? Like now people are talking about 20-22 you see elections such kind of stuff Rumours of people being left out in the cold and all that Yeah, that kind of stuff So when we get to 20-22, everybody's mind will be about elections So when you create content that time, you'll be creating content that is going towards the election And you get the viewership So that increases the chances of people clicking on your videos? Yeah, viewing your content Okay, but but but Victor you have not told me about the reactions from your fans Like tell me from the worst to the best. What kind of feedback have you gotten? I can imagine it might not have been as easy as you're making it look It is not a must you really impress everybody but the number of people that appreciates me That accept me are more than the number of people that hates me But with time what I depend on to miss Nangaubai With time So who are you when you're not in character?

I'm gonna do Anyway, let's talk about some of the challenges that you guys are facing in your particular industry Yeah, and what and what the government can do to make it easier for you as well. Can we hear? As comedians, do you even have a union? You know, like how do you guys get forward your rights and you know, put your agendas forward? First of all, uh, there is hatred amongst us. Oh, there's hatred. Yes. So that I'm sorry to say that so that you find that That comedian was made it to her platform as a queen Because uh, he or she is not sure if the spirit you are coming with then People are also ignoring you. So there is some things if you look into there is so many negativity Me I call them small negativities. If you look into those you cannot go anywhere Because uh, people fail you you invite people for your event. They are like, ah, we are going to waste our time there something of the sort You know, you need to let that go So that's what's I affecting us so much At times you might send link to someone But you know So you can see there's a bit of disunity when it comes to some of the members better. Can you comment in the entertainment field? One, I didn't get to lucky. There is disunity. Okay, mr. Direction. Do you agree with these sentiments? Yeah, they are but okay on my side the biggest challenge is The equipment for production like the cameras. You find that they are the equipment that are very expensive Oh, they cost a fortune. Yeah So you can find a a very short clip of maybe let's say 30 seconds But now the the equipment that you have to use so that it can attract viewership Because you have to make something that is of high quality Yeah Then another thing is the The internet service providers the the rates are too high for people to To be able to watch some videos online You see Like somebody using the bundles Watching videos on youtube is very expensive For that person. So I think the government should look into the ways of at least reducing the the rates the internet rates Yeah Okay, okay. I think I think I think hopefully someone in the in the relevant opposition of authority has had that Um, let's talk about some of the or the ways in which that um, you can say that the industry has progressed Like now what's good? What's so good about it? And what should we keep as an industry when it comes to entertainment? It's going to appreciate the small milestones. Oh, first of all, uh, what I can say about the industry right now There is uh, so many tv station with good heart presenters like you So if if you book for an interview or they just bought you We are brought to interview So there is nothing good like being exposed to tv channels When I spoke to that you had been exposed to millions of people So I can say it is improving The entertainment industry can improve but, uh, I think the government is doing very minimal on the entertainment Because right now when we do host the girl alive at National theater, you find the cost of the hold is too high So I think the government should look into such things They need to make your work easier because there's also no guarantee that you guys get any returns All right, amazing. Please make sure you let us know your social media platforms as well So what time we wind this up and perhaps, you know, maybe you can let us know Maybe for someone at home who wants to do this. What words of encouragement do you have for them as well? Yeah, as you say goodbye Once of encouragement If you keep on calling these people that have made it that bro And they will ignore you, you will use moral You will lose your moral Then you will be able to do that You will be able to do that because you have talent And you will be able to do that So talent will end up to you Then uh, yeah Because it is fans that make us to be elevated to that level You know, we are fans We are in a meeting I'm in a meeting, I'll call you I'm not too fair Because they even decide to unfollow you After unfollowing you, you are really good So my fans, I want them to come to me To Hashimiani Apart from God, my fans, I want them to come to me In the field of entertainment Because when even the companies look at the branch They look at your followers Then they look at the trends how people appreciate you But when you come to a mother house We will not have followers We will not have fans So, we will be doing your comedy, your songs But we are doing them in your bedroom So you need that respect as well?
