[Journey] Journey To $50,000 With Tiktok Creative Rewards Program & Football Contents

Hello everyone,

This is an exciting journey for me because a lot has gone into it—especially procrastination and indecision. I knew about TikTok's Creative Rewards Program back in 2024 and even bought a UK monetized account. But I was new, got demonetized, appealed, and got approved again. Since then, I've tried different niches, but nothing really worked.

Then FIFA 2026 came up. I saw influencers talking about how people can make money on YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook from it. With less than 48 hours to go, I finally stopped overthinking and took action. I'm happy I did because after over two years of trying, I've finally started.

In this thread, I'll share my journey, content, earnings, views, and analytics. I'd also love your ideas on how to improve so I can reach my goal of earning $50,000. It's tough watching others make thousands while I just sit and wish it were me.

Here's my page: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesportsbox_

And here are my current analytics.



Here's what I've learned so far in this program:

1. TikTok no longer pays for views from all developed countries—only from countries where the Creative Rewards Program is active. I think this is just their way of paying creators less.
2. I'm testing different hooks and content angles to see what works best and gets onto the For You Page easily.

Will share analytics of each videos posted, and how they performed both the ones performing good and the ones not performing.

Welcome to this incredible journey of mine.

Can't offer any help bro, but i wish you good luck on your jorney, i'll surelly be following the thread!

So this is how tiktok now calculate earnings for videos. Illegible views are from countries outside of the countries where creative reward is not active. For now this is the video with highest number of views on my page. I do believe that with the real time study and the tweaks i am applying and with consistency, my videos will start doing well as expected from a grind like this
