I Posted On TikTok Shop For 30 Days (Results)

Introduction

Taking on the challenge of TikTok Shop affiliates, I set out to see how much I could earn in just one month. It wasn't just about posting videos; it was about the strategic choices I made along the way. After a full 30 days, the results were astonishing.

Finding the Right Product

Finding the right product to promote is crucial. It's where many fail; they often rush through this step, but investing time in product research is vital. If your product selection is off, your chances of success drop significantly. TikTok thrives on entertainment rather than hard sells, so a well-edited video won't convert if the product isn’t appealing.

A great resource I found was CAD dat, which provides detailed analytics for TikTok e-commerce. This website helps sellers track trending products, analyze competitors, and gather insights from successful videos and live streams. However, accessing the full features requires a $ 89 monthly professional membership. For those not ready to invest at that level, TikTok's own app provides sufficient product information at no cost.

Key Considerations for Selecting a Product:

1. Problem-Solving Ability: The best products solve real problems.
2. Previous Virality: Products with a history of going viral or gaining traction (minimum of 1,000 sales).
3. High Ratings: Choose products rated close to five stars.
4. Commission Rate: Ensure a commission of 15% or more.
5. Stock Availability: Ensure at least 500 units in stock to avoid sellouts during a viral moment.

After spending hours scrolling through my For You page and the product marketplace, I narrowed it down to three standout products, each targeting a distinct audience and solving specific problems. For instance, I found a waterproof dog bed, catering to a large pet owner community that often makes impulse buys.

With only 30 days for this challenge, I ordered selected products via Amazon Prime to start posting content immediately, enabling me to create weeks’ worth of videos while planning to return the items for a refund later.

Content Creation

On day three, the products arrived, and I was ready to create content. Despite the benefits of showing my face, I opted for faceless videos with AI voiceovers, demonstrating that great content can be made without being on camera.

The first three seconds of a TikTok video are crucial; this is what we call the "hook." It's the difference between a video that takes off and one that stays stagnant. A strong hook should grab attention immediately, so here are three types you can utilize:

• Positive Hooks: Align with viewers’ interests (e.g., “If you're a dog owner, this is something you'll want to see.”).
• Negative Hooks: Highlight a common pain point, prompting viewers to seek solutions.
• Visual Hooks: Use striking visuals to capture attention instantly.

Once I secured viewer interest, I showcased the product in action, highlighted its benefits, and concluded with a subtle call to action.

For inspiration, I explored the product pages to watch videos from other creators who featured similar items. I observed their styles and recreated appealing elements with my personalized touch.

I used AI-generated voiceovers for my videos and found that keeping them around 20-30 seconds boosted viewer retention, leading to higher engagement.

Results

After posting two to three videos daily for four days, the results from my first week were impressive. I earned £817.5 in commissions, with over 70% coming from one product: a solar outdoor security camera. To avoid repetitiveness, I ordered two more products, both free samples, utilizing TikTok's free sample filter for my searches.

By July 14, halfway through the month, I had earned £52, largely because some of my older videos began gaining traction. Patience is crucial; videos can take off days or even weeks later. It's about consistency.

Week three proved to be a turning point, nearly doubling my earnings. I earned £25,976 that week, with most earnings stemming from the same product. Observing its success, I committed to posting daily videos about it, experimenting with various hooks.

By the end of the month, I had posted 34 videos and earned a total commission of nearly £1,000—all pure profit. Remember, the initial products were returned, and the free samples required no purchase.

This experience reinforced that anyone can achieve successful results with the right strategy. If you're struggling to reach the all-important 1,000 follower goal for TikTok Shop, check out my next video; I’ll guide you through acquiring 1,000 followers in under 12 hours.
