Answering Your TikTok Shop Affiliate Questions (That Support Won't!)

In this article, I will be addressing the most common questions related to TikTok Shop affiliate program. I have compiled a comprehensive list of questions from my Discord community and YouTube comments. Whether you are just starting out or looking to expand your TikTok Shop business, I will provide all the information you need. So, let's dive right in!

Do I need money to start TikTok Shop? No, you don't need any money to get started with TikTok Shop. You can begin with zero followers and zero dollars, and still make significant profits. You can create TikTok Shop videos without even having the product in hand. You can generate curiosity about the product in your videos and provide a link for viewers to explore further. Moreover, even if you decide to order products from TikTok Shop or Amazon, the initial investment would be minimal (around $10-$20).

Can you do TikTok Shop outside the United States? Unfortunately, doing TikTok Shop outside the United States can be challenging. You need a US tax number and a US bank account to withdraw your earnings from TikTok Shop. However, if you are determined to do it, you can partner with someone in the United States and give them a percentage of your earnings. This would require you to use a VPN and obtain a US SIM card, making the process more complicated.

Can you start with zero followers? Absolutely! Starting with zero followers is possible and can still lead to significant success. I have personally made a video on this topic, and many others have achieved great results as well. However, some users have faced issues with TikTok rejecting their applications for the zero follower method. In such cases, try making minor tweaks to your application to get it approved. You can also try using your passport instead of your ID. Rest assured, the zero follower method works just as effectively as having 5,000 followers.

How do you get more TikTok Shop affiliate accounts? There are a few ways to acquire more TikTok Shop affiliate accounts. The best approach is to tap into your network and see if anyone you know has an account with over 5,000 followers. You can try buying it from them. Additionally, I have disclosed another method through my paid Discord community, which you can explore.

Do you need to show your face in TikTok Shop videos? No, it is not necessary to show your face in TikTok Shop videos. Many successful TikTok Shop affiliates prefer not to show their faces and have achieved substantial profits. However, if you already have a TikTok following or are comfortable being in front of the camera, showing your face can build trust and potentially boost conversion rates.

What are some free methods to find winning products? A valuable strategy to find winning products with high commission rates is to browse the "For You" page on TikTok. Keep scrolling until you come across a TikTok Shop video, and engage with it by watching it in its entirety, leaving comments, etc. By optimizing your account for TikTok Shop videos, you will be exposed to more of them over time. Moreover, by joining my Discord community, you can access a product sheet containing recommended products for TikTok Shop affiliates.

Should I accept collaboration invites on TikTok? If you receive collaboration invites on your TikTok profile, you can consider accepting them. It is advisable to scroll through and look for familiar brand names to avoid dealing with shady accounts. If the product aligns with your interests and offers a reasonable commission, collaborating can be beneficial for both parties.

How can you request free samples? Requesting free samples is possible through various methods. Sometimes sellers provide an option to request samples directly on their TikTok videos. In other cases, you can click on "Contact Seller" and send them a message either within the app or on WhatsApp. Sellers are often willing to send free samples to TikTok Shop affiliates with proven results.

What should you do if you receive a points violation on TikTok? Receiving a points violation on TikTok can be unfortunate and may result in penalties such as account suspension or shadowbanning. To avoid this, create original content. In case you do receive a violation, you can either wait it out or start fresh on a new account without any violations.
