How to Join the Tiktok Shop Affiliate Program (From Any Country)

Introduction

The TikTok Shop Athletes Program has taken the content creation world by storm, enabling many creators to earn substantial incomes in a short time. If you're a content creator and haven’t yet registered as an athlete on the TikTok Shop, this guide will walk you through the registration process, allowing you to start earning from the TikTok Shop Affiliate Program, regardless of your location.

Benefits of Being an Affiliate

One of the most appealing aspects of being an affiliate on the TikTok Shop is that you don't have to manage inventory, provide customer service, or handle deliveries. Your primary responsibility is to promote products and earn commissions for successful sales.

Requirements for Joining the Program

To qualify for the TikTok Shop Affiliate Program, you typically need to meet several criteria:

  1. Location: You must be in the United States. However, there are ways to navigate this limitation, which will be discussed later.
  2. Age: You must be 18 years or older.
  3. Followers: Ideally, you need 5,000 followers. But there are strategies to join even without this requirement.

If you’re not a U.S. citizen, you might feel restricted by the location requirement; however, you can overcome it. Here’s how:

  • U.S. Tax Number: You will need a U.S. tax identification number, such as a Social Security Number (SSN).
  • U.S. Bank Account: You'll also need a U.S. bank account for withdrawing earnings from TikTok.

As a workaround, consider partnering with someone in the United States. They can help manage some aspects, and you would share a percentage of your earnings. Keep in mind that you’ll still need to use a VPN and possibly a U.S. SIM card to set everything up properly.

Overcoming the 5,000 Followers Limitation

Here’s a simple process to register without having 5,000 followers:

  1. Set Up a TikTok Shop Seller Account: Begin by creating a TikTok Shop seller account.
  2. Create a U.S. TikTok Account: Use a VPN to create a TikTok account based in the U.S.
  3. Switch to a Business Account: Once your TikTok account is ready, change it from a personal account to a business account.
  4. Link to TikTok Shop: Finally, connect your business TikTok account to your TikTok Shop seller account. This way, you can join the TikTok Shop Affiliate Program without needing the usual follower count.

By following those steps, you can successfully join the TikTok Shop affiliate program from anywhere in the world. For a comprehensive guide on TikTok Shop registration and monetization, check out our detailed video linked here.
