LIVE Product Research for TikTok Shop Affiliate Program

Introduction

Welcome everyone! In this live session, we're diving into the world of TikTok Shop product research. I'll be guiding you through how I find trending products to promote as an affiliate. This is an exciting opportunity because it's not only about the products, but also about maximizing our earnings on platforms like Amazon and TikTok. Let's see what we can find in the next hour!

Getting Started with TikTok Research

For those who just joined, I’m testing some settings to ensure everything is running smoothly. After confirming that the thumbnail appeared correctly for the live stream, I decided to kick off the product search on TikTok Shop. Thanks to TikTok for providing me a $ 100 gift card from their Accelerator Program, we have a nice budget to work with.

I'm utilizing Kao Data for product research, where I'll set parameters like revenue between $ 1,000 to $ 10,000, with a strong growth trend to find promising products.

Products Under Review

One of the first products that caught my attention is a lavalier microphone. It’s been trending well recently, but the commission rate for this product is fairly low at only 10%. Additionally, its sales over the last week are not impressive, averaging four units sold, making it less desirable for promotion.

Following that, I found a lint roller, which seems unique and has more viral potential since it can be demonstrated easily. However, even with reasonable pricing, the commission remains underwhelming at about 69 cents per sale.

As I continued my search, I stumbled across a portable mini vacuum. The sales trend is quite stable, though again, there are no standout commission rates or significant sales figures to excite me.

Then, I discovered an electric lunch box that uses heat for food. This product has recently started trending and boasts a high commission rate of 16%, with ample stock available. The competitive price and viral potential make this a strong candidate.

Moving to Amazon

To ensure the products are worthwhile, I like to cross-check them on Amazon. I can scan product images directly to see if similar items exist there and their pricing. This insight helps gauge how I can position the products when making promotional videos.

For the lunch box, I found it on Amazon as well, and there were positive results: its sales on TikTok are promising, and Amazon would deliver it much faster than the alternative.

Content Creation Strategy

Once I have the products, I brainstorm how I can creatively present them in videos. TikTok thrives on engaging content; short videos with strong hooks work well. For instance, having a video showing the lunch box in action during a work picnic or outdoors can showcase its utility.

I also advise utilizing bilingual videos if relevant, as they can tap into a broader audience and increase the viral potential.

Conclusion

In summary, we settled on an electric lunch box and a portable vacuum as our primary products to promote through TikTok Shop. These products appear to be well-positioned for sales, facilitating possible earnings and helping us make engaging content at the same time.

I plan to make this live product research a weekly event, allowing us to explore, learn, and grow our affiliate strategies together. Stay tuned for my upcoming videos, where I’ll discuss the results from my 7-day product promotions!
