Online content creators have a lot of scope today. There have been many people who have attained success through their content. Whether it is a vlog or a blog, the content that connects most with the viewers gets the attention much deserved. Today we are here to talk about one such person who has become a renowned vlogger globally.
Nuseir Yassin is a 29-year-old Palestinian-Israeli vlogger and CEO of Nas Academy. He is known for creating 1,000 one-minute-long videos on Facebook in 1,000 days under the page Nas Daily. But did you know that he didn’t make any money in the first 500 days?
About Nuseir
Nuseir grew up in Israel as a very shy and introvert young boy. But he always wanted to travel, explore, and learn all he could about the world.
He had always wanted to get the prestigious, quality education that only an Ivy League school had to offer. At the young age of 19, he secured a full scholarship from Harvard University and decided to pursue his dream.
In 2014 he graduated with his degree in economics and bagged a 6-figure job at Venmo working as a software engineer.
He was living in New York City and earning $120,000 a year. However, there was still something lacking in his life that he could not decide on earlier but soon came to terms with.
After nearly 2 years at Venmo and a $60,000 safety net in the bank, Nuseir made the bold decision to quit his job in 2016. He bought himself a camera, got on a plane to Kenya, and the rest is history.
With no prior training or qualifications in video production, all Nuseir had was a camera and $60,000 in savings.
Nas Daily’s Gradual Success
Nuseir didn’t achieve success overnight rather it took years for his page to show any signs of popularity even. For the first 500 days of Nuseir’s creator journey, Facebook videos weren’t able to be monetized.
On day 609, the Nas Daily company went from racking up 100,000 views to a whopping 1 million views on Facebook. This became a repetitive occurrence.
In 2017, Nas Daily garnered around 5 million followers. The company started generating a monthly income of $15,000. This came from two main sources: Facebook ads ($10,000) and speaking engagements ($5,000).
With time, Nas Daily’s net worth started growing. His income started averaging $20,000-$25,000 a month from Facebook, and around $15,000 from speaking gigs and brand deals – totaling up to an average monthly income of around $40,000 before the 1,000 days were up.
On January 5, 2019, Nuseir finished his 1,000-day journey – after 65 countries, 1,000 video uploads, and a lot of hard work.
Nas Daily had become 10 million followers strong. And by the final day, Nuseir’s personal net worth was estimated to be $900,000.
Nuseir Yassin’s net worth is estimated to have grown to $5 million since he started Nas Daily. The company has also expanded beyond Facebook to YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. They have continued to make money from various revenue sources, including brand deals, speaking engagements, Nas Studios services, ads, and courses hosted at none other than Nas Academy.
