Yes you can fix this. I have some advice. Western audiences will never care about Ghana, Zambia etc… but what they do care about are human stories. Let me show you xyz poor country reads as travel/charity content to the western brain. A single compelling human story though is a real hook people will tune in for. “He escaped a warlord using bitcoin” Or hyper compelling cultural content like “I negotiated her bride price using bitcoin” this is not your style I know but other streamers do stuff like this and get high engagement. The point is to find the cultural moments where you are a real fish out of water and the embarrassment/culture shock etc… is highly compelling for the audience. Westerners also need compare and contrast, here’s a mud hut vs. here’s a mud hut and here’s how we live in the west. You can build a real moat around this type of content and it should have a long tail in theory where you’ll still be getting clicks 5 years from now, but you have to follow the human stories. Find a great story about someone in Zaire and then go to Zaire. Don’t decide you want to go there first and then film.
