Don't Fall for TikTok Trends for Your Side Hustle | Dr. Travis Zigler Reacts

If you're looking for a profitable side hustle, you might come across many trendy options. For instance, some people are making up to $ 1,000 a day by cleaning dirty garbage cans. Not bad, right? But how about a side hustle you can do straight from your phone?

One popular method involves going on TikTok and searching for the hashtag #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt to find trending, high-demand products. For example, you might come across an adjustable measuring cup that's quite popular. You'll go to Alibaba to find a manufacturer selling these for under $ 2 each. These same cups are being sold on Amazon for $ 15, with over 3,000 units sold just last month.

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)

By using Amazon's FBA service, you don't have to do much once an order is placed. Amazon will handle the packaging and shipping to the customer within 1 to 2 days. Unlike drop shipping, where you act as a middleman between the customer and the supplier, FBA allows you to send bulk products to Amazon, where they manage the logistics for you.

However, this is where things get tricky. If a product is trending on TikTok, you're not alone in spotting the opportunity. Other sellers will jump into this market as well. In just six months, the market becomes flooded with competitors. When that happens, the profitability can disappear quickly.

A Better Strategy: Solving Real Problems

Instead of chasing TikTok viral trends, focus on serving a specific audience and solving a real problem. This long-term strategy can result in a more sustainable and profitable business model.
