Making Money on TikTok as a Small Creator w/JuiceGuy1 | DCL #56

Jaimon Speaks

On this episode of the DCL Podcast, I sit down with Afeez (@thejuiceguy1) — an anime lover, gamer, and TikTok creator who turned his phone into a real income stream.

We talk about how he walked away from gambling Discords, rebuilt his TikTok from scratch, hit 10K followers, and now makes money from TikTok Shop, affiliate campaigns, and going live — all while juggling school, work, and “adulting.”

Afeez breaks down:

  • How he stopped relying on the friend group and started betting on himself
  • The exact TikTok programs he uses (pilot, affiliate, creator rewards, lives)
  • Why being yourself online will make you more money than faking a persona
  • How self-love, boundaries, and “being selfish now” set you up to win later
  • A simple content workflow: streaming, clipping, and posting without overthinking

If you’re a small creator trying to make money online, find your niche, or stay authentic on social media, this episode is a playbook and a therapy session in one.
