Layi Wasabi in Partnership with Yoola Achieves Incredible Results!

The Layi Wasabi channel reached 100,000 subscribers on YouTube in just one year in the comedy niche.

Introduction:

Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a YouTube channel that grows fast and stands out from the crowd?

Imagine your content reaching millions, your audience expanding every day, and your creativity finally paying off.

For many creators, this sounds like a dream, but for Layi Wasabi, it became reality. In this story, we at Yoola share how our collaboration with this talented comedian turned a simple idea into an inspiring YouTube success.

How It All Began:

Layi Wasabi is a Nigerian comedian and actor who won Best Content Creator at the 2024 Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards.

His acting credits include Everybody Loves Jenifa, Aníkúlápó, and Adire.

Initially, Layi didn’t have his own YouTube channel. His content was being uploaded by fan pages, often without permission, which meant he wasn’t earning from his own creations. To solve this, Layi partnered with Yoola to officially launch his YouTube channel.

Yoola’s Collaboration with Layi Wasabi:

From the very beginning, the Yoola team was deeply invested in helping Layi build a strong and sustainable YouTube presence. This collaboration was about combining our strategic expertise with Layi’s unique comedic style to create a clear and powerful growth plan. Together, we built a foundation for long-term success and content ownership.

Strategy and Approach

Our work with Layi Wasabi began in October 2024. The first step was to create his YouTube channel from scratch and develop a detailed growth strategy.

  • We first experimented with short-form videos, but performance showed that longer videos (20+ minutes) resonated better with his audience, allowing more time for storytelling and engagement.

  • We adjusted the way episodes were titled, moving away from serialized naming. When videos are titled as a “series,” viewers who miss one episode often don’t get recommendations for the next, which hurts overall reach and discoverability. Instead, each episode received a unique title to maximize visibility and clicks.

  • The Yoola team actively helped manage and reduce unauthorized reuploads on YouTube to make sure that rights and revenue were properly directed to Layi.

  • To increase exposure, we also created YouTube Shorts, which boosted traffic and attracted new subscribers to the main channel.

  • Early growth was boosted by social media promotion and a few successful collaborations with other popular creators.

Results:

The results were outstanding.

The channel achieved YouTube monetization within just two weeks, marking a powerful start and confirming the effectiveness of the strategy. Within a year, Layi Wasabi’s channel grew to 100,000 subscribers, with strong audience engagement and consistent growth that continues to build momentum.

This success story highlights how strategic planning, creative consistency, and high-quality content can transform a new channel into a thriving digital platform.

What Truly Drove the Success

Beyond the numbers, the heart of this story lies in dedication, creativity, and true partnership.

Layi’s passion for producing engaging, high-quality comedy content paired with his openness to collaboration and Yoola’s strategic guidance became the key to his rapid success. The partnership between Yoola and Layi Wasabi proves that when creativity meets structure and strategy, the results can be truly remarkable.
