This Side Hustle Changed My Bank Account IMMEDIATELY

This Side Hustle Changed My Bank Account IMMEDIATELY

I've just made $ 15,000 as an affiliate on TikTok Shop, and today I'll be explaining exactly how I did it. It's honestly relatively low compared to others in the space, but to me, it’s kind of insane for how easy it is. I just want to show you exactly what I've done, what I plan on doing, and what's worked so far.

For June, I've made $ 5.2K, plus an additional $ 766 from yesterday’s stream. I was a bit busy this week, so I didn’t fully lock in, which makes me feel terrible. I was streaming for three hours a day, and it’s only Wednesday, so it's been just two days of that. Next week, I’ll have completely open time, and some big things are coming up that I'll discuss in this article.

Even though I wasn’t hitting my 1K days this week, I’ve been hitting $ 700 days, which is still significant. I've got some plans and things brewing in the pipeline.

Also, let me just preface this: this is not rocket science. Following my methods, even a homeless person could likely supply all their needs. If you’re completely new to TikTok Shop and haven’t seen my last two videos, I’ve gone way more in-depth about what I've done with live streams. This article will cover new strategies I've discovered. Again, I’m a student, not a guru, so take this with a grain of salt and apply whatever works best for you.

How It All Started

Let me note that I have nothing to sell you, no courses. I do link a tripod below, and I get 10 cents when somebody buys it because I have that affiliate mindset. But that’s it. I’m just documenting what I’m doing. Last week, my 1K days seemed to be driven by a summer flash sale on the products I was promoting. So, even though sales have slowed down slightly, I’m still averaging $ 150 to $ 200 an hour, driving urgency in my streams and pushing viral products.

Future Development

Next week, I will focus more on videos. I stopped making them recently and created some new accounts. Videos can be like scratch-offs — sometimes they don’t perform well, but occasionally, one video can make 5 to 10K. This week, I'll push more videos, reply to comments, etc. I still plan to prioritize live streams, but having a big hit video would be a cool achievement.

Leveraging Success

The more you stream and hit high numbers, the more companies reach out to you. Companies like the one I’m working with now are reaching out, offering collaboration. The more you do for a company, the more they’ll reward you.

Tactics and Tips

I’ve noticed a couple of promising products: massage gloves and an eyelash extension kit, both seeing solid sales and engagement. I’m getting samples and will test these on different accounts. Besides, I'm considering hiring someone to moderate my streams because of spammy comments.

Also, I’ll never show my account again because it affected my metrics negatively. I plan on streaming 6 to 8 hours a day to outcompete everyone else. If you’re my competition, watch out, because I’m going all-in.

Closing Thoughts

This week was less intense, but I wanted to show you it’s still working without the flash sale. I’ll keep streaming and making videos. For those still persistent on failed products, find something that shows at least some promise. Don’t waste your time on something that’s clearly not working. Finally, just do the work instead of planning it.

Best of luck to all of you on your journey.
