The actress and online comedian, popularly known as Pepe, said that branching into skitmaking not only reignited her passion for performance but also provided financial stability and creative independence.

“Nothing really has been happening apart from me trying to diversify. I started as an actress and fell in love with skitmaking,” Yisa explained. “Who doesn’t want to shoot a skit for less than 30 minutes and make money from it? Skitmaking makes faster money than movies. Apart from passion, you also want to make a living. Nobody wants to follow passion and end up broke.”

With over 1.4 million followers on Facebook, nearly a million on **TikTok and Instagram, and around 100,000 YouTube subscribers, Yisa said her decision to embrace digital content creation was a “game-changer.”

“When I saw an opportunity in skitmaking, I decided to take it up,” she said. “I’ve shot two movies back to back. One of them, Lost Blood, is currently enjoying rave reviews on YouTube. From now on, expect to see more from me.”

Yisa described skitmaking as “one of the most lucrative ventures” for entertainers in today’s industry, noting that even established stars like Mercy Johnson, Destiny Etiko, and Don Jazzy have joined the trend.

“The platform is big enough for everyone,” she said. “Gone are the days when actors depended on producers or executive producers to succeed. With social media, nobody needs to wait for promotion anymore. YouTube, at the end of the day, is our retirement plan.”
