Mbabane – Content creator Boikarabelo has shared a step-by-step method for Eswatini-based TikTok users to earn revenue despite regional restrictions. The guidance was provided during a conversation on The Blue Print Podcast, episode 31, with host BA Pusha.
Boikarabelo explained that a virtual private network (VPN) is the first step. Users should set their VPN location to the United States or the United Kingdom and access TikTok via a laptop using a new Gmail account. Accounts created this way can bypass some regional barriers, including ID verification and tax information requirements.
Once the account is set up, creators can access TikTok Studio’s “Creativity Program.” Eligibility requires being over 18 years old and having at least 10,000 followers. Bank or PayPal accounts are linked to receive payments.
Boikarabelo stressed that video quality and adherence to community guidelines are essential. He advised consistent posting, researching trends, and experimenting with strategies to engage viewers. Patience and persistence are key, as results may take months.
The creator also discussed his success on YouTube, running multiple faceless channels with content ranging from motivational videos to gaming. Targeting high-CPM regions like the US and UK, Boikarabelo earns roughly 150,000 rand per month from a single channel, demonstrating the earning potential for young digital creators.
