Tik Tok Shop Seller For Beginners Day 11 30 Days of Abundance #tiktokshopseller

Introduction

Greetings, earthlings! Gina Abundance here, and welcome to Day 11 of my 30 Days of Abundance series. Today, we’re diving into the exciting world of Tik Tok Shop and how you can leverage it as a side hustle. Having been on this journey for 11 days, I can assure you it feels both like a long time and just the beginning! So, let's explore Tik Tok Shop and its potential for sellers.

What is Tik Tok Shop?

Tik Tok Shop is an innovative platform that allows you to sell new products directly through your Tik Tok account. This is a great option for anyone looking to venture into e-commerce. Unlike platforms where you sell used items, Tik Tok Shop is focused on new merchandise.

If you’re starting out without an existing business, consider sourcing trending items to sell. Research what’s hot right now and order inventory accordingly. This strategy can yield the most success in your early days.

For those of you who have an established business, such as selling jewelry or beauty supplies, you can simply list your products on Tik Tok Shop. That’s what I’ve done with my jewelry line. Expanding into new inventory is tempting, but for now, I choose to stick with what I already know.

Advantages of Tik Tok Shop

One of the most appealing aspects of Tik Tok Shop is that there is no follower requirement to start selling. You don’t need to have a massive following to get noticed. Simply set up your store by visiting the Seller Center through Tik Tok or Google, or consider using the Seller Center app.

Tips for Success

Here are some initial tips to help you make your Tik Tok Shop successful:

Go Live: This feature allows you to connect with your audience in real-time, showcasing your products. However, note that you do need followers to access this feature.
Be Consistent: Regularly engage with your audience through videos where you talk about your products and tag them in Tik Tok Shop.
Understand Commission: Tik Tok Shop takes a commission on each sale that varies between 6% and 12%, depending on the product category.
Shipping Requirements: You have 48 hours to ship your order, and it must be scanned by an actual postal worker. Be mindful of this requirement, especially if you’re dealing with handmade items or larger volumes of orders.

These tips are crucial, particularly when you are starting. Successfully navigating the platform can lead to considerable sales, especially if you have access to trending products or a pre-existing audience.

Personal Journey with Tik Tok Shop

Reflecting on my personal experience, I secured my first order on Tik Tok Shop about two weeks ago. Although after that first order, I haven’t received another, I still see great potential in this venture, and I encourage everyone to explore it.

While I have mixed feelings about dedicating myself fully to Tik Tok, especially after my account suspension, I advocate for diversifying your platforms. Don’t place all your efforts into one basket. It’s essential to build your presence across multiple platforms – Etsy, eBay, and even YouTube are great options.

Conclusion

In summary, Tik Tok Shop offers a unique opportunity for both new and established sellers to expand their reach. Appreciate the chance to showcase your products without stringent follower requirements, but stay informed about their policies and commission structures. Consistency, engagement, and broadening your selling platforms will ultimately lead to success.
