Hey, there. Welcome to This Bahamian Gyal™.
If you’re here, it means you’re serious about growing your YouTube channel — or at least curious enough to click around instead of scrolling TikTok for the hundredth time today. Either way, welcome!
I’m Rogan. A digital content creator and founder of the This Bahamian Gyal brand, and I’ve been through the YouTube struggle bus more than once. I pivoted my channel twice before landing on my current social commentary and reaction niche. Third time’s a charm, right?
When I finally got it right, I went from 6,400 subscribers to 20,000 subscribers in just a few days. Since then, I’ve grown my channel from 0 to nearly 250,000 subscribers, and now I’m sharing everything I know so you don’t have to learn the hard way… trust me, it’s exhausting.

2. Creators stuck in a rut, unsure how to grow on the platform or make money.
3. Anyone who wants to turn a YouTube hobby into a full-blown business — because posting
videos for fun is great, but paying your bills with it is better.
