How to Get Your First 100 Sales on TikTok Shop FAST

Whether you're brand new to the idea of selling products on TikTok or you've been trying it for some period of time but haven't really got the results that you were hoping for, this article has you covered. This is exactly how I would go about getting my first 100 sales as fast as possible if I were starting TikTok shop over again today.

As I'm sure you know, TikTok has revolutionized the eCommerce space for the better, connecting sellers like you and me to customers already interested in the products we offer. They've seamlessly integrated product videos into the normal TikTok feeds, which means when you're trying to sell your headphones or your cutting board or whatever it is, they can serve your product video to people with a higher likelihood of being interested in that niche product and potentially in the market for one as well.

Why TikTok Makes Selling Easier

This makes selling products online much easier for two main reasons:

  1. Less Friction in the Buying Process: You don't need to take an interested viewer to an external website and then convert them again just to turn them into a customer. All that can be done instantly and seamlessly within the app that they're already comfortably browsing on.
  2. Leveraging TikTok's Data: TikTok tracks everything from what sites you visit, how recently you visited them, what you did on them, the devices you use, and even other apps you use. While this can be concerning from a user perspective, from a seller perspective, it's fantastic. It means that we can use all this information to our advantage, making good product videos that TikTok's algorithm will serve to the right customers.

Your Primary Goals

Once you understand how to leverage TikTok's data, it becomes about selling products that customers actually want and creating good videos since your videos are essentially your digital salesman. If you already have a product or a brand, great! Your goal will be to try to sell that to your target customer. For the rest of us, sell any product in any niche that brings sales and profit.

Using Data to Find Hot Products

The first step is not to guess what products might work but to use data-backed decisions. The two main software tools I use to identify hot selling products on TikTok Shop are Kod Data and Shop Plus. These tools will tell you:

  • What niches are hot right now
  • What products are selling the best right now
  • The exact videos responsible for those sales on TikTok

This approach is crucial because we don’t want to sell products that were hot three months ago; we want to sell products that are hot right now. You can make your video extremely similar to those that have already been successful, reducing guesswork.

Testing Your Product

Once you've found a hot selling product, list it in your TikTok shop via a supplier that ships within 2-3 days and delivers in under 11 days. Finding a product using Kod Data or Shop Plus increases your chances of going viral, but you still need to test with your own video.

Creating Product Videos

You can go several routes for creating these videos:

  1. DIY: Record and edit the video yourself.
  2. Hire UGC Content Creators: Find creators on platforms like Fiverr, Join Brands, or Facebook groups.
  3. AI Video Software: Use tools like Crea Ai.
  4. Viral Ecom Ads: Use companies that will create the videos for you.

Good product videos are vital. You can have a great product, but if your video doesn’t sell well, you’re still going to struggle.

Getting Help from Affiliates

Another shortcut to get sales without creating your own videos is to get TikTok Affiliates to sell for you. TikTok connects eCommerce sellers to content creators who have the right audience for your niche, providing an incentive for them to make those videos in return for a commission on every sale.

Enabling Shop Plan

Enable the Shop Plan on all your products through the open collaboration feature in TikTok Shop. Set your commission rate, decide whether to auto-approve pages, and consider offering free samples.

Manual Outreach

For faster and potentially more effective results, manually reach out to influencers or pages in your niche using TikTok’s target collaboration tab. This feature shows all stats and contact information, making it easy to connect and propose a collaboration.
