How To Find Winning Products For The TikTok Shop Affiliate Program
Introduction
You've probably seen your favorite creators earning thousands of dollars through the TikTok Shop Affiliate Program. Is it because they are fantastic salespeople who understand the TikTok algorithm perfectly? Potentially, but most likely, it's because they found a winning product—a product so easy to sell that it's practically a money printer.
On the flip side, there's plenty of people struggling to get any sales on TikTok. Even prime Jordan Belfort would struggle to sell some of these terrible products, yet people think they're going to make millions from them. Product is king. In this article, we are going to take the guesswork out of it. I will be highlighting the exact blueprint method you can use, step-by-step, to find winning products on a TikTok shop.
I've been growing TikTok accounts for over 3 years, with my most successful account reaching over 500,000 followers. But there's one thing I wish I had taken advantage of: AI and specialized websites. My mentality was always to do everything in-house to cut down on costs, but in the end, it ended up making me less revenue than I could have earned. You see, when you don't want to spend any money and try to do everything yourself, it just makes the process so much slower. I just wish I had invested more money into my TikTok account to enable me to earn more money in the long term.
One of the biggest ways it would have helped me with the TikTok shop is with product research. Let me talk you through my old method of trying to find winning products on TikTok. I'd either browse the TikTok shop to find products that have a lot of sales, or I'd just watch a YouTuber talk about a winning product that they've been selling. Unfortunately, both these methods don't really work.
Firstly, when it comes to finding winning products on TikTok, the sales numbers can be misleading. It could have a lot of sales, but that could be from last month, last year, or even before then. It's like trying to be that guy who sells fidget spinners in 2024—it's not going to work. So purely scrolling the TikTok shop to find winning products can lead to a lot of misinformation.
Next, we have my other method: watching YouTubers' videos. It sounds like a good idea. I mean, if they made money from it, so should we, right? Theoretically, that makes perfect sense, but in reality, it's a different story. Let me tell you a secret about YouTube: from the moment the creator gets a video idea to the moment they click upload, that can take 3 to 4 days or sometimes even a week. So by the time your favorite YouTuber drops a video saying, "This product is going to make you thousands," it's too little, too late. Trending products on TikTok can be relevant for a short amount of time, so even missing by one or two days can be fatal. Plus, more often than not, creators wait until the popularity of the product has slightly died off before promoting it on their socials. This is because they don't want to saturate the market while they're still making money from it.
So the harsh truth is you need to find the winning product yourself, with a little bit of help, of course. This is where Show Plus comes in. This website shows you exactly what types of products are trending on TikTok. And don't worry, it works in the US, UK, and many Asian countries as well. I know this is especially good news for my UK viewers who've been struggling to find a website that caters to us living in Britain.
For each trending product, it shows you the price point, sales, and commission, as well as a chart showing its recent sales activity. So you know you're picking a product on the uptrend rather than the downtrend. But that's not all—it even shows you an in-depth analysis of product videos. For popular TikTok Shop videos, you can see their total sales and their conversion rate. This way, you can see exactly what types of videos tend to have a lot of views and, importantly, a lot of sales.
