TikTok Affiliates is STILL the biggest opportunity in e-commerce, and it’s never been a bigger opportunity since the barrier to entry is a little bit high now because you need a 5,000-follower page to start.
Once accepted, tons of people are making videos and earning tens of thousands of dollars in cold hard cash.
You don’t need to ship any products or handle logistics. You don’t even need to be on camera if you don’t want to! You can succeed just by showcasing products in a video if you do it in a fun and innovative way.
I’ve talked to many creators who are making thousands of dollars every month by linking products in their TikTok videos. And the best part is anyone can do it. Thanks to TikTok’s algorithm and suggestion engine, it’s a level playing field.
So, like I said, to start, you need 5,000 followers on your page. And if you’re not there yet, that’s totally fine. Check out this video and start there: How to Get 5,000 Tiktok Followers as FAST as Possible (Tiktok Affiliate Loophole Gone)
But assuming you are there, go to the TikTok tools section on your account, click on monetization, and sign up for the TikTok Shop Affiliate program. After you’re in, you can start promoting products and earning commissions.
Here’s a simple strategy that works wonders. First, add products related to your niche to your shop showcase. You can search for products manually or check out what’s currently selling best on TikTok Shop. Stick to proven sellers that are relevant to your audience. Once you click on a product, TikTok will show you other videos that have gone viral selling that product. This is your gold mine.
Or you can even use product research software like Kalodata to do it for you. It’s a software I use to find hot selling products that are seriously moving right now on TikTok (not weeks or months ago - right now in real time). You can save 10% off through this link with the Code BRYANG.
It makes everything so easy and takes the guesswork out of it all for you. It connects into TikTok Shop automatically and downloads all the sales data and all the creator data in real time, then spoon-feeds you all that insight in an easy-to-read and easy-to-sort-through website.
You can sort through whatever category or niche you’re selling in. You can see what niches are selling the best right now and what niche opportunities you might not have thought of. You can see what products are selling best in those niches currently. You can see what creators are selling those products and, more importantly, what videos are actually responsible for getting sales so you can model your video just like that.
You can even see the sales chart of each product when you click on it to make sure it was just a fast trend that died off or demand for that product is shooting downward. They show you the entire sales chart of that product so you can make sure it’s selling both consistently over time and right now.
It’s a no-brainer for anyone serious about selling on TikTok Shop or getting paid with TikTok affiliates. And if you’re not using it, it’s like competing against a Lamborghini with a bicycle. You’re never going to succeed.
Then, assuming you’ve found a product that’s selling and the videos that are responsible for selling it, you then want to create similar videos by writing down the intro hook, the script, and rewording it to make it your own. Note how they pitch the product, what problems they claim it solves, and the pain points they address. Use these in your videos.
Contrary to popular belief, you DON’T need to reinvent the wheel on TikTok and make some crazy creative video just to get sales. And in the beginning, you shouldn’t try that anyway. Start with the low-hanging fruit and model what’s already working!
You can either record your own content, go live and talk about the product, or use a tool like Creatify AI. This AI tool generates a video script and video in seconds using the product listing details. I have other videos that go more in-depth on this, but trust me, it’s a game-changer. Here's a helpful Creatify AI Tutorial if you want to learn how to use it.
Another effective approach is overlaying b-roll of the product on top of your voiceover. You can order b-roll from a different company, record it yourself, or use videos from the product listings. A service I recommend is Viral Ecom Ads, which provides high-quality edits for around $4 a video if you upgrade to their VIP program.
Once you have your video, remember to link the product before you upload it. Your first or second video might not go viral, of course, but with this approach and some consistency, you’ll gain traction faster than you think. By using proven products with proven video scripts, you tilt the algorithm in your favor.
But hop on this opportunity now. Since you now NEED 5,000 followers to join, it’s never been less competitive. Whether it lasts a few months or a few years, right now it’s massive, and not many people are taking advantage of it. You can be one of them!
