How I Make Viral TikTok Affiliate and TikTok Shop Videos WITHOUT the Product

One of the ways I'm able to test a ton of products on TikTok Shop and TikTok Affiliates super fast is because it doesn't take a lot of my time and it doesn't take a lot of my money. I'm able to leverage a software like Crea.ai in this case, where I don't actually need to order the product to me ahead of time, wait for it to arrive, spend money on the purchase, and invest my time recording, editing, and uploading the video.

Instead, I can utilize this software very easily to make high-quality product videos initially to test and prove the concept of a product without ever needing the product on hand. It allows me to do product research on numerous products and find one that actually works, then make videos on it—a bunch of them the same exact day—very quickly. I don't need to spend any time, so there's less friction and less time spent between the time of identifying the actual product and getting videos up and testing it.

Ultimately, when I prove the concept, I might go a little further later. But in the beginning, just to prove the concept with the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach, I like to use Crea.ai. It is the best way to do it because it allows you to use listings on Amazon or product videos on TikTok that you already have at your disposal without the product and without spending any money to hire an expensive UGC (User-Generated Content) creator or purchasing the product. You can test product after product after product to find a winner much faster.

I've made so many tutorials on how to use this software in the past; I've done four or five now because it is still something that I use to this date to test products and prove the concept. I want to run through another example and show you how I’m using this now to make product videos very quickly, regardless of the niche: test products and upload them to TikTok Shop to find winners which I can scale.

I found a product that's super niche: a water table pump for kids. Parents order water tables for their kids, and as you can see in the picture, water drips down from the top. The issue is that you need to constantly manually pour water on top for it to drip down, which is engaging for young kids. This problem led to the creation of pumps that solve this problem by continuously circulating the water. The pumps are sold secondhand, and I’m considering drop shipping these to solve that problem.

These pumps are niche-specific, solving a known issue many water table owners face. You can source them relatively cheaply and mark them up for profit because they offer a clear solution to a problem. They also have viral potential because it’s a cool, innovative product that can be showcased in a video stopping people from scrolling.

Here’s how you can create a video using Crea.ai:

  1. Sign Up and Start Creating:

    • Go to "Create" on Crea.ai.
    • Use a link from your supplier, like Amazon.
    • Crea.ai pulls data, including title, description, images, and review videos.
  2. Edit and Configure:

    • Specify video length and aspect ratio (e.g., 15 seconds, 9:16 ratio for TikTok).
    • Use AI-generated scripts or personalize them.
    • Select style and configure the focus (product-centric, AI Avatar, etc.).
    • Edit the timeline, captions, assets, and sounds (e.g., muting background music to avoid copyright issues).
  3. Export and Test:

    • After generating and tweaking the video, export it.
    • Upload to TikTok, manually adding music on TikTok to avoid copyright issues.
    • Test multiple videos with this method for fast, efficient product validation.

This tool is a game-changer for anyone looking to test products without investing a lot of time and money initially. I use this approach to prove product concepts quickly. If videos produce sales, that indicates a successful initial test, enabling me to invest more time and resources for further scaling.
