How To Dropship on TikTok in 9 Minutes (Full Guide)
Introduction
With a little over three months to go until Christmas, now is the perfect time to start dropshipping on TikTok. You'll have ample opportunity to grow your store and take full advantage of the sales that occur from Black Friday onward. However, success hinges on setting up your store correctly. In this article, I will reveal exactly how you can get started in just about nine minutes.
Finding Winning Products
A dropshipping store's success largely depends on the quality of products you sell. Currently, one of the best platforms for sourcing products is eBay. With nearly an infinite number of inexpensive items and reliable sellers who provide good tracking numbers and quick delivery, eBay is a great choice for dropshipping on TikTok.
When searching for products on eBay, focus on inexpensive, unbranded items that either solve a problem or have a wow factor. Here are two examples of products I found:
Resin Statue: This unique resin statue can be placed on your desk or by your front door, serving as both decor and a catch-all for keys and wallets. Priced at just $ 13, this product has the potential to generate excellent TikTok content.
Car Door Step: This product addresses a specific need by helping shorter individuals access their car roof, making it easier to load items like bikes or kayaks. At just $ 9 and with good stock availability, this is another viable product to consider.
Even if you're inexperienced in finding products, software solutions like AutoDS can streamline the process for you. With AutoDS, you can easily discover winning products every day.
Leveraging Popular TikTok Videos
AutoDS also lets you spy on successful TikTok videos by identifying which products are gaining traction. By analyzing videos with high views and interaction rates, you can pinpoint the products that resonate with TikTok users. For instance, a viral video featuring knitted flower bouquets can lead you to similar products on eBay, ensuring you offer items that are already proving appealing to customers.
Setting Up Your TikTok Shop
Once you identify your products, you need to set up your TikTok shop. Start by registering your seller account at the TikTok shop sign-up page. This process may take a few minutes to a few days due to verification steps. Once your account is ready, connect AutoDS to facilitate adding products to your shop.
To add a product, simply copy the URL of the item to be listed on eBay, navigate to AutoDS, and paste the URL into the tool. AutoDS automatically pulls the information for you to review and optimize for your TikTok shop. Adjust the title, choose appealing images, and then publish the product.
The magic of TikTok comes from its affiliate program. After listing your products, creators can promote them through videos. When viewers purchase your products via their videos, the creators earn a small commission while you reap most of the profits.
