How To Target USA TikTok For Dropshipping (Step-By-Step Guide)

Introduction

Yes, it is possible to target the United States on TikTok from other countries. In this article, I'll show you three different methods to achieve this, along with a step-by-step guide based on my experience. Additionally, stick around until the end for a crucial tip on dropshipping to the United States.

Methods to Target USA TikTok Audience

Method 1: eSIM Card

The first method involves using an eSIM card instead of a physical US SIM card. An eSIM can have the same effect without the hassle of shipping and physically switching SIM cards. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use this method as I have an iPhone X which doesn’t support eSIMs.

Method 2: Physical SIM Card

The second method, which I successfully tested, involves using a physical US SIM card. Here’s how I did it:

Order a US SIM Card: I ordered a US SIM card from Amazon, specifically amazon.de to avoid hefty shipping costs and import taxes.
Activate the SIM Card: Go to like Mobile's website and recharge the card. Opt for the $ 19 plan with auto-renewal.
Insert the SIM Card: After receiving the SIM card, remove your regular SIM card and insert the US SIM card.
Change Phone Settings: Change your phone's language to English, turn off location settings, and delete both TikTok and your VPN app.
Set Up TikTok: Activate the SIM card. Download and set up NordVPN (connecting to the USA) and re-download TikTok.
Account Management: Use an existing account or create a new one. Ensure you 'warm up' the account by consistent posting to avoid getting shadow-banned.

Using this method, my TikTok analytics showed 99% of viewers from the United States compared to the initial 0%.

Method 3: Have Someone in the US Create an Account

This last method is potentially the simplest:

Get Assistance: Have someone in the US create a TikTok account for you and send you the login details.

I didn't test this method, but theoretically, it should work since TikTok targets the country where the account is created.

Dropshipping to the US

When dropshipping, it’s essential to have a reliable supplier that provides reasonable shipping times. I recommend CJ Dropshipping:

Sign Up: Create an account on CJ Dropshipping's website.
Store Authorization: Navigate to "My CJ" -> "Store Authorization" -> "Shopify" and follow the prompts to integrate your store.
Product Selection: Search for your desired product. Select the shipping options that meet your needs, such as 4-9 day shipping.
List Product: List the product through CJ Dropshipping's interface, then edit it as needed in Shopify.
Order Fulfillment: Sync your store’s orders in CJ Dropshipping, select your shipping option, and make the payment. CJ takes care of updating tracking information and fulfilling the order.
