Full Transcript

In this video, I'm going to show you

step by step exactly how you can go from

making zero to5 to $10,000 a month with

Tik Tok Shop Affiliate, even if you're

starting from scratch. I'm making this

because honestly, I'm tired of seeing

videos from people who clearly don't

know what they're talking about. Videos

that legitimately waste your time and

just don't work. Tik Tok Shop Affiliate

didn't just make me money, it changed my

entire life. It freed me from a job

where I felt trapped working endless

hours just to get by to a life where I

work a few hours a day, get to watch my

kids grow up, and finally have some

peace of mind. And it's not just me. It

changed Bryce's life, too, letting him

quit his draining 9 toive job after

making $60,000 in a single month. And

Austin, who started in August and has

already made $120,000

while he was still in college. Even

Stephanie, who is literally a

stay-at-home mom, who managed to earn an

extra $53,000 from home while taking

care of her kids in the last 6 months.

And there's dozens more people just like

you who've completely changed their

lives with exactly what you're about to

learn today. This free course contains

information that can genuinely alter

your future. So, put away your phone,

remove the distractions, and lock in for

the next hour. This is my longest, most

detailed video yet, and I promise every

single minute will be worth it. Let's

just get into it. All right, so let's

just hop right into it. This is going to

be my 2025 Tik Tok shop affiliate

course. Now, this is going to be a

little bit more casual, less edited.

We're going to go through a lot of

information here. So sit back, get a

drink, let's hang out, and let's go

through all of this because I want to

teach you everything that I know about

Tik Tok shop affiliate so that you can

come away at the end of this course

knowing every single thing that you need

to know to be able to utilize this for

yourself. Number one, what is Tik Tok

affiliate? Well, Tik Tok affiliate is a

form of affiliate marketing. And then

that brings up the next question. Well,

what is affiliate marketing? You see,

affiliate marketing is a marketing model

where thirdparty creators called

affiliates promote companies products or

services and receive a commission for

each sale. Tik Tok shop affiliate is a

form of affiliate marketing and is the

most profitable method from 2025

onwards. And I can explain. So Tik Tok

shop affiliate marketing, what is it?

Basically what you're doing is you're

selling other brands products for

commission. When a customer buys a

product through your link on a video,

you get a commission on every single one

of those products that are sold. For

example, if there was a $20 mic stand

that was for sale on the Tik Tok shop

and I wanted to affiliate for that and

they were offering 20% commission for

that, my commission on that $20 sale

would be $4. So, if I were to sell a

hundred of those on a video, I would

make $400. Hopefully, that makes sense.

That's the basics of how it works, and

we'll get a lot deeper into it moving

forward. You see, Tik Tok has a program

that connects buyers and sellers.

They're competing with Amazon to become

the king of online commerce. So, if you

could imagine that Amazon and YouTube

had a baby, that's essentially what Tik

Tok shop is. You have the product

marketplace that is all of the products

that Amazon has or the different brands

that list their products on Amazon. Then

you have the content creation powerhouse

that is YouTube and the algorithm that

knows how to connect that content to

viewers who want to watch. Tik Tok shop

is essentially all of that in one. So,

there's the products and the videos and

the marketing all baked into one package

that makes it easy for you as an

affiliate to make videos that people

will end up seeing, which essentially

will turn into conversions. Hopefully,

it's making a little bit more sense.

Now, let's keep going through it. You

see, the best part is is that there's no

friction at all. The buyer doesn't have

to leave Tik Tok to buy a product like

they do on Instagram, like they do on

YouTube. That's always how it's been

through short form video sales is it

would link to a Shopify or a different

account. But here on Tik Tok, you can

purchase directly in the app itself.

Whereas in something like drop shipping,

the buyer would have to click a link,

change the tabs, go to the website.

There's a lot more steps that the buyer

has to go through. And every time

there's a step that they need to go

through, they're going to lose more and

more people into that process. It's

called friction, and it happens across

anything. Anytime you need people to

click a link, you want to take them to

the exact page that they want to go to

instead of needing to click through two

or three where you're going to lose more

and more people. That's why you can see

sales as much as $5,000 from a single

video if it only reaches 500,000 or a

million views on Tik Tok. Whereas

before, if I did that on Instagram and I

got a million views and people clicked

through, I might only end up getting a

couple hundred from that exact same

style of video because they're having to

first click onto Shopify and then go to

the purchase section and buy the

product. Hopefully that's making a

little bit more sense and we're starting

to paint a picture of why this is so

valuable and why this is a new thing

that's a little bit separate from how it

was on Instagram, how it was on YouTube

and it's this new world of social

commerce. Essentially buying products

from videos without having to leave the

platform itself natively right there.

You can see people use the product. You

can ask questions in the comments or in

the live stream section and then you can

buy the product if you like it directly

in the app. And all of the marketing for

affiliates is handled by Tik Tok itself.

So, for example, I have one of my

accounts here, and let's just click on

one of my videos and see how easy it

would be for someone to buy that

product. Let's say I click on this one

right here, and it's talking about how

to stream with a console on your PC. So,

then I can see that right there, that

little orange shopping cart button. If I

click that, all I have to do is go in

and hit buy now or add to cart, and I

can immediately purchase this product

without ever leaving the app. So, if I

click buy now, it's going to immediately

take me to the page where I can purchase

it directly inside of Tik Tok. And let's

go through another video right here that

I ended up doing really well on. This

one is about a gaming microphone. We'll

see that exact same orange shopping cart

there. If we click on it, staying in the

app completely, I can add it to my cart

or I can purchase it now. Now, I will

talk about this a little bit later, but

hopefully that gives you a little bit of

information of how the actual process

works. So, now we can go into breaking

down how to actually do it, what the

whole entire thing is, and getting into

a little bit more of the details maybe

of like what live streaming is as well.

So, I'm going to pull up my phone right

here and show you my first ever

successful video using the Tik Tok Shop

affiliate program that I did not expect

to go viral at all, but you can hear it

for yourself and see what I did here.

This video ended up making me over

$30,000 from this one video alone, and

it only has $3.7 million views. So,

let's watch it together. All right, the

$600 Shore SM7B podcast mic that you see

on every podcast and every stream ever

versus the $25 Tik Tok shop. So, right

there, I'm comparing the $600 SM7B to

the $20 Tik Tok shop affiliate mic. Now,

I'm going to go in a little bit later on

why I said $600, why I'm comparing it to

the SM7B, things like that, because

that's part of the hook section that

we'll be getting into, but you can see

I'm just starting off the video in a way

that people know exactly what I'm

talking about, so they know what to

expect in the video. No surprises or

anything here. Mike, I'm going to let

you guys just use your ears and decide

which one you think is better. I'll be

cutting back and forth between the

audio. I'm gonna let you guys use your

ears and see which one you think is

better. And I'll be cutting back and

forth between the audio. And one thing I

didn't do on purpose was I didn't say

mic A, mic B on the screen because I

wanted people to realize how close these

actually are that they cannot hear a

difference between a multi00 microphone

and a $20 microphone. Is there a $500

difference between the two of these?

Now, as someone who is desperately

trying to get everyone to move away from

headset Now, I bring up another pain

point here. As someone who's desperately

trying to get people to move away from

headset mics because if you didn't know,

I ran a music studio for 10 years and I

cannot stand the sound of headsets

drives me insane. And while I was being

a live streamer on the side, I used to

have friends that would play the game

with me over their headset mic and it

was driving me insane. It's actually

what made me get this product for this

first video and decide to even try Tik

Tok Shop affiliate because I didn't

understand the power of it. I just saw I

could get a microphone for free and I

knew I had to make a video for it to be

able to fulfill that sample. When I got

the microphone, I genuinely liked the

sound and I knew exactly the video I was

going to make. I was going to compare it

to the most famous microphone of all

time, the SM7B mics. All of these are

terrible. Either of these mics are going

to be a hundred years better than any

headset mic. I don't care if you spent

$1,000 on your headset. Yes, I'm now

here I'm adding in more controversy into

the video. I don't care if you spend

$1,000 on your headset. This $20 mic is

going to be better than that by a lot.

Like, I'm making it so that everyone

wants to go into the comments and say,

"Not my headset. Not my headset. Not my

headset." when really all I'm doing is

trying to show off the benefit of the

product while making my opinion on it

very clear. I don't have to overly sell

the product. I'm just explaining and

showing in real time the benefits of it

looking at you who always tells me not

my hoods and then I get feedback loops

and I can hear everything in your room

except you. This one has that gamer

vibe, has the RGB, you can turn it up

and down the Now I'm showing features of

the product. This one has that gamer

vibe. It has the RGB, the colors that

you can, you know, turn up and down. You

can change the colors colors. You can

change them. Um, and there's a physical

mute switch. But again, it's about the

sound quality here. Which one do you

think sounds better? If you're building

a streaming setup, are you going to want

to So, but it's about sound quality

here. Which one do you think sounds

better? If you're building a streaming

setup, are you going to want to spend

the extra $500 to get this one, or you

just going to want to get this one for

$20 and focus the rest of that money

somewhere else? Spend the extra $500 and

get this one, and then also the XLR

cables, the audio interface, and learn

how to use it. Or do you just want to

get something that can plug USB directly

into your PlayStation, Xbox, or PC? My

honest review is I'm pretty amazed for

the price. I could fill a whole room

full of the My honest review is I'm

pretty amazed for the price. That's a

simple simple easy statement that gives

some of that authority that I built on

earlier a lot more weight for the price

of this. And the average person is never

going to be able to tell the difference

between this one and this one. A trained

ear can, but like is it going to make a

difference in your clip when you hit a

crazy head? And now I'm pointing out why

you shouldn't spend $500 on the other

one. Because at the end of the day,

you're just streaming. As long as your

quality is good enough to where it's not

bothering your audience, why would you

spend hundreds of dollars more when you

could get that same one for $20? So, why

is Tik Tok Shop Affiliate the best side

hustle or side gig of the decade and

honestly probably going to become one of

your main things moving forward once you

start seeing the success that others

have? Well, there are five key metrics

that come into play when we're

evaluating this. There's the startup

cost, there's the skill AQ, there's the

profitability, there's the speed, and

there's the fulfillment. Number one,

let's talk about the startup cost. How

much does it normally take to start a

business? Now, I've tried so many

businesses. I've probably started more

businesses and failed them than most

people will ever start in their life.

You see, I started a landscaping

company. I ran a candy store out of my

garage when I was a little kid. Um, I

had a company where I fixed and built

computers for people. I had a business

where I tried to do drop shipping. A

business where I tried to do social

media marketing. I had tried so many

different things. But Tik Tok Shop is

different because it costs you

legitimately nothing. There's already

products that you have around your house

every single day that you don't realize

people are making a ton of affiliate

commission on. You probably have been

sold products by people who are talking

about them online, whether it's through

brand deals, the company paying them

directly, or some sort of affiliate

process. So, once you start looking

around you and realizing that everything

around you has a dollar sign attached to

it, and if you genuinely like a product,

maybe you really like the Samsung

devices, you could probably affiliate

for this company. Obviously, with a big

company like Samsung, you'd have to have

a little bit of experience behind your

belt, but there is so many products

around you that you don't realize there

are affiliate opportunities for. Next,

let's talk about the skill. What's the

amount of skills required to make money

in this space? Well, almost none. A lot

of people tell me, "I'm too old. I don't

know how to edit. I'm not a content

creator. I don't know this. I don't know

that." And I wish I could get through to

them that that almost doesn't matter at

all. Basically, there's a bar that you

need to be above that quality on to make

good enough videos that people want to

listen to. But the more that you just

show your own personality, the more that

people are going to connect with you.

The amount of people I've seen who are

in their 40s, 50s, and 60s do crazy

amounts of numbers using Tik Tok Shop

affiliate when they had no clue how to

make videos only a month before that is

crazy. It's because you don't need to be

the best content creator. You don't need

to use fancy cameras like this or the

one that I'm using right here. I do this

because I love it. because two of the

businesses I ran was one I ran a music

studio and one was a cinematography

company where I would shoot music

videos, short films, commercials, things

like that. So, I genuinely just love

cameras. It's it's my thing. I'm a nerd

for it, okay? But you don't need to have

those skill sets to be able to do this

space at all as long as you know how to

use your phone enough to click record

and you can learn from someone like me

who will teach you how to edit the

videos. And I'm going to do some of that

even in this video here. So, just stick

with me and we'll get to that in a

second. But just trust me when I say at

least for the next little bit that you

don't need the skills that you probably

think that you need to be able to make

this work for yourself. And this is the

most important metric to track because

if the skill is too easy to learn,

competition will be too high. But high

competition equals lower prices. If

everyone can do it, your business

becomes a commodity. And commodities are

based on price, not value. Meaning that

you will work for pennies. And so you

don't need to be able to edit. You don't

need to be able to do all of this super

technical complicated stuff. But there

are some things that people just don't

understand even when they've been trying

to do it for a long time that keeps them

held back. And those are the steps that

I want to teach you how to do. So we can

actually focus on what works. Give you

the skill sets that the other people

don't have that aren't technical skill

sets. It's more about how to be yourself

and speak on camera. But we'll get into

that more in a minute. How much money

can be made from the business vehicle,

which overall we could just call

profitability. Speed. How quickly can

you scale to5 or $10,000 a month?

fulfillment, which is the process of

delivering the product and service to

the customer. And so, here's a quick

rundown of the Tik Tok shop affiliate

model. Startup cost, literally zero

startup cost. All you need is a phone

and the Tik Tok app. Skill. This course

will give you all the skills that you

need to make $5 to $10,000 a month.

That's why we're sitting down chatting

about this for an hour and teaching you

exactly how to do it. Profitability. Tik

Tok Shop Affiliate has no cost except

transaction fees. So, profit margins are

upwards of 97% or more. and speed. In

this video, I'll show you the exact

strategies that I used to make $2,000

from my first video, but people that

I've helped who've done it even faster.

Some have made $10,000 in their first

month or even $500,000 in their first

year. And finally, let's talk about

fulfillment. It's not the hardest thing

in the world because I managed to make

it work with a full-time job and a

family. And then there's Boise Brooke,

who's in our community and consistently

makes over $100,000 a month, and she's

in her 50s. Anyone can do it with the

right knowledge and dedication. And I

really want to focus on that word of

dedication because that's the real step

that it takes that most people are

missing. But the overarching reasons are

this. Anyone can do this as a beginner.

You don't even need to have the product

yourself. All you need to start is a

phone and the Tik Tok app. Access to

thousands of different products to sell.

You can do this from anywhere in the

world. You can make money while you

sleep or passive income if you want to

look at it that way. And it doesn't

require a ton of work once you crack the

code to figure out how Tik Tok operates.

Now you know why Tik Tok shop affiliate

is the best opportunity to build an

income. Let's get into how to make money

from it. Starting Tik Tok shop is as

simple as one, you just need to create

an account. Go into Tik Tok, create an

account, link your email, so then you

have a Tik Tok account ready to go. I

recommend you either starting a new

account from scratch or if you have a

personal account, we're going to change

it around a bit to focus more on really

dialing in on the affiliate side of

things. Two, we need to select a

product. So, we want to find the product

that's going to fit what we know how to

talk about, what we're already

passionate about, or what we think could

do very well. And then number three, we

need to create content. I'm going to

teach you how to do that in here in a

little bit, but we need to create

content that has the potential for

virality so that people will want to

watch it, want to click on it, want to

comment on it, which will essentially

lead to sales through that process. And

four, we earn the commission. From

there, you just sit back, you see how

much sales you make in a day, and you

repeat the process over and over again.

Obviously, minus creating the account.

We just select new products, create more

content, get the commission, select more

products, create more content, get more

commission. So, let's start by creating

an account. Here's how you're going to

start a Tik Tok shop account and the

current eligibility requirements. One,

you need to meet community guidelines,

which essentially is just be 18 years

old and don't break any of the rules.

Two, you need to have a,000 followers or

be selected for Tik Tok shops creator

pilot program. But realistically,

getting a,000 followers isn't as

difficult as you think. So the next

steps, you can either acquire an account

with over a,000 followers or what I

always recommend is growing an account

to over a,000 followers. Then we can

apply for Tik Tok shop and we will be in

and ready to start making videos about

products. So business account versus a

personal account. I wouldn't really

worry about this one too much. I would

just start it and move on. But to get

into it a little bit, what is the

difference? You see personal tax, use

your personal details like your social

security number once you're applying for

shop. And for business side, you're

going to use your LLC or business's EIN.

Now, again, you don't need to think

about this too much. You can always do

this part a little bit later, but I just

wanted to break that down because I know

if people can go apply right now,

they're going to immediately have the

question of, well, do I use my SSN or my

EIN? I've done both and I don't notice a

huge difference between the two. But

honestly, that would be between you and

your accountant of how you want to set

that up. I would say for the vast

majority of people, 99 plus% just go

with your SSN and move on. And again,

what's that best option for you? Well,

when starting out, just use your

personal info while building that

affiliate income. If you're more

advanced, you already have a big

business or as you grow your affiliate

side of things. You'll probably work

with your accountant and they'll either

set up some sort of an LLC or an escorp

for you and you'll know when that time

comes and then you can either start new

accounts with your EIN or you can switch

over. But I'm not going to go too deep

into that here because again, I'm not a

tax professional. I am not a person that

can give out financial advice like that.

I'm just saying here's the basics of how

it works so that you know how to

approach it. So, what's the difference

between growing an account versus buying

an account? You see, so many people come

to me and ask, "Do I should I buy an

account or should I grow an account?"

And I want to break this down here. You

see, I never recommend the buying

option. It's out there. People do sell

accounts, but it comes with massive,

massive risk. Now, anecdotally, from

what I've seen over monitoring thousands

of accounts and teaching so many people

how to do this and talking with TikTok

all the time, I would say upwards of 80

plus% of purchased accounts are gone or

banned within the first six months. So

all that money that you're spending, all

that work that you're putting in

essentially just gets stripped away from

you. Now, some people do it and have

success. I'm not going to lie to you. I

just personally would never recommend it

because it also doesn't really teach you

how to make better content and how to

make content that people want to watch.

So hopefully that makes sense. But if

you did want to purchase an account,

one, you need to find a seller. Find

from someone whose account wasn't grown

with processes that are against terms of

service. Ideally, someone with account

that was grown in your country that

you're trying to do Tik Tok shop in. It

wouldn't help if the account was from

India and you're trying to sell in the

UK or the US, if that makes sense,

because it's going to be a lot harder to

convert that following, get that

algorithm back on your side. But number

two, in that you need to choose an

account with over 1,000 followers. So,

you'd have to find a seller that's

selling Tik Tok accounts with over 1,000

followers, ideally over 5,000, so that

you don't have some of the beginning

restrictions that start with Tik Tok

Shop affiliate, like only being able to

post five videos a week about products.

Number three, we would want to match the

account's location to ours like I just

mentioned before because if you're in

the US, you want to purchase a US-based

account. If you're in the UK, you want

to purchase a UKbased account. Same with

Mexico, Canada, etc. And step four, you

want to post consistently. Maintain a

regular posting schedule to keep your

audience engaged so that we can really

start to get that algorithm on our side

and warm up that account. If you ever

look into purchasing accounts, you'll

hear a lot about that warming up thing.

Again, I never like this option. And

you'll never see me recommending this

option, but I should talk about it

because so many people are going to have

questions about it. Now, number two, my

favorite, growing accounts, which scares

people, but it's really not as scary as

you think, and you're simultaneously

developing two skills at once. Number

one, we're going to choose our niche.

Select a specific area of interest to

start and build out from. Number two,

market research. Research what your

niche trends are, your competitors are

doing. See what engages your target

audience the best. And I think this is

where most people don't understand what

to do. I don't know who I am. I don't

know what I would talk about. I don't

even know what I'm interested in. I'm

boring. I'm this and that. And I just

want to give you a little bit of a story

here. When I was running my two

businesses recently before I started

doing Tik Tok shop and I was running a

music studio and running a

cinematography company, I thought my

life was very boring and very mundane. I

live streamed on the side, but the rest

of the time it was cameras and filming

things and editing and recording people

and stuff like that. It just it was my

normal life. And it wasn't until I was

talking to some of my friends and they

were like, "Why aren't you making that

your content?" Because at the time I was

trying to make content essentially just

trying to teach people uh like how to

make music and things like that. And

they were like, "Why aren't you showing

your lifestyle?" And I said, "I thought

my life was boring. It's very mundane to

me. I almost never leave my house other

than going to do client video shoots and

stuff like that." But they kind of made

it clear to me like it's new to me. And

the amount of things I've seen where

people think they have a boring,

monotonous, quote unquote lame

lifestyle, but it really turns out to be

something that people would want to

watch. If you pay attention on social

media, there are people that work at

McDonald's that just have a camera

showing them making the McDonald's

sandwiches that will have hundreds of

thousands of followers and millions of

views. There are people that the only

thing that's really setting them apart

is that they live near a beach and so

they just make videos on a beach. I

don't think you realize that your

lifestyle is something unique to you.

And that thread of being yourself and

showing off your own lifestyle, you're

going to see me keep talking about that

essentially forever on this account

because that was genuinely the point

that made me move from not really

getting anything to work for me online

to a massive difference where people are

finally paying attention to my videos. I

was making sales and stuff was working.

So when I stopped trying to be someone

else and be myself. I know that was a

rant, but let's get into step three.

You're going to start creating your

content. You're going to want to create

quality content that resonates with your

target audience. If you make content

that is valuable to the viewer, they're

going to reward you with whether it's a

purchase on your product or a follower

in this case on your account. It does

not have to take a long time to grow to

a,000 followers. I personally have done

it in less than a week and I've seen so

many others do it in less than one to

two weeks. It's really not as

complicated as you think once you

understand how it goes and you start to

understand that most people are making

what I call, no offense, look at me

content. And I feel like I can only say

that because I did it myself for a

decade. I didn't know what to post. I

would post random stuff. Here's my food.

Here's a little trend. Here's me giving

an opinion on something. But there was

really nothing for the viewer. It wasn't

until I started to really focus on where

are my videos? Where do they fit in? If

I was a viewer, would I stop on my

videos or would I just scroll past them?

Once I started to understand that, it

all started to connect for me. Now,

number four, we need to post

consistently. Tik Tok values consistency

over all else. You could have a 100,000

followers like I do on one of my pages.

I stopped posting on it for months while

I was growing some of my other pages and

it essentially died completely. Tik Tok,

I've had conversations with them

directly. They don't care about your

follower number. They care about

consistency. I would rather you post

once a day for the next 6 months than

post 38 times a day for a month and a

half and give up. Even though you might

end up having more videos done in the

second option, you're going to be better

off in the f first option because Tik

Tok values consistency that much. I

always will recommend growing an account

yourself. So, let's dive deeper into

exactly how you can do that yourself.

Now, how to get your first 10,000 Tik

Tok followers in seven days or less. If

you follow this directly, you get out of

your own way. You don't get yourself

bogged down and confused. Oh my gosh,

what do I do? And you build that up.

Don't let that. Focus on this. Join this

with confidence. Do this being like, I

understand what I need to do. And

approach it like that. Okay. So, here's

really what you need to do. You need to

find what you know how to talk about,

what you're passionate on talking about,

and find an area where that overlaps

with stuff that people care about. You

see, what we want to do is say, "We're

really passionate about for for

instance, in my case, cameras. I know a

lot about cameras. I watch a ton about

them." But if I just came on and said,

"Here's my experience with a camera.

Here's what I think about this camera."

The likelihood someone's going to watch

it is really low. I want to find areas

where this overlaps in that space with

what people are already talking about.

So, for example, this camera, the Sony

FX3, is very popular. If you're not a

camera person, don't don't worry about

the details. But I'm just saying this

camera almost always gets views the

second you talk about it because it's

everybody's dream camera. It's what all

the YouTubers are using right now. So,

if I make a video saying why this

YouTuber is using this camera, but you

probably should, or why this YouTuber is

using this camera, but you probably

shouldn't, or why is everybody on the

internet using this camera when this

other one exists that could be better.

Anything like that that can cause a

little bit of controversy. Get people in

the comments engaging. Get people to

know what your niche is exactly. That's

what we need. It could be about you love

to cook. It could be about you have

strong opinions on the newest episode of

The Bachelor and you know all the

different information about the people

on the show and you want to give your

conspiracy theories about what's going

to happen next. Anything that provides

value to the audience makes it a video

for them, not necessarily for you. You

want to put your passions into it, but

once you release it, it needs to be

packaged in a way that is valuable for

them. If you can do that and you can

overlap that with stuff that people

already care about. Maybe it's stuff

going on in the world, stuff going on in

the news, or just stuff going on in that

specific niche. Maybe there's some drama

with the biggest chef in the world, and

you talk about food, and you bring up

that drama with that biggest chef. Those

are naturally going to get more

engagement and more views. And if you

want a little secret tip, you have no

clue what to do. I don't bring this one

up often, but I've seen it work so much

and so often, find things that everyone

has an opinion on. For example, I know

someone who got 5,000 followers in two

weeks by just posting videos about star

signs. Now, I'm not someone that thinks

too much about whether it's Cancer or

Sagittarius or Aries or this or that,

but all of their videos that they made

was essentially if you're a Sagittarius

and you've noticed this, let me know in

the comments. Things like that, it puts

it on people. It makes it connect with

them. So when they see their star sign

come up and it says if you're a

Sagittarius and you think that Aries are

this type of a way, it makes you want to

comment, "Oh my gosh, yes, I've seen

that or no, that's not a thing."

Engagement is what's going to help and

providing value is going to want to make

more people come onto your page and

actually follow you. Does that make

sense? So hopefully that's connecting

with you a little bit to finally

understand like, oh, it's not making

random content about nothing. It's

finding what people care about and

talking about what I know about through

what they care about. I need to attach

those two things together. I want to

find the circle of what is the world

thinking and caring about the person out

there, just what's on their mind. I need

to take what I I need to take what I

know about as well, and I want those to

overlap in a way that I find that

perfect middle ground. If you can do

that, you will grow followers very

quickly regardless of what social media

platform you're on, but especially on

Tik Tok. But there is one other piece

that I really, really, really want to

focus on, which is it's not just talking

about what people care about. So people

will get on and they'll say something

about this and this about Trump or this

and this about Biden or whatever,

thinking that, oh my gosh, I'm just

going to talk about the most um

explosive topics to talk about and and

I'm just going to grow like crazy. But

you have to find a way to get people to

engage. For example, I could make a

video like this and say, you know, I

don't really like ranch on my food,

ranch dressing. You know, I'm more of

someone that likes ketchup, but if you

like ranch, it's, you know, good for

you. It is what it is. Um, but yeah, let

me know if you guys like a different

sauce. Okay, that's option one for a

video. Next option two, and I only know

because I've made a video like this in

the past, is if I became president for a

single day, the first thing I'm doing is

whoever's bought ranch in the last 30

days straight to jail. I don't

understand you guys. You guys are a

different breed. Please explain to me

how you've smelled ranch and you still

decide to purchase it. Let alone

purchase it. you decide to eat it, we

will never be the same. Do you

understand why option two is better? I'm

not saying you have to be aggressive

like me. That's kind of my

personalities. I like to poke fun and

stuff like that. But you don't have to

be that way, but it's the intentionality

behind it. It's me standing firm in my

opinion on the situation. So, people

want to comment. People are either going

to join in and say, "Oh my gosh, yes, I

hate ranch as well." Or they're going to

want to say, "What are you talking

about? Ranch is the greatest thing ever.

You're crazy." And I hope you can

understand what I'm trying to paint this

picture for you is make it valuable for

the audience. Make it easy for the

audience to click on the video and

you'll fit right in. I I hear this all

the time where people say, "Yeah, once I

get 50,000 followers, I want to make

videos like this." No, no, no, no, no.

From day one, when we have zero

followers, let's start by making videos

that we would make if we had 50,000

followers. Are we going to execute on it

properly? No. There's no chance our

first video is going to be good. But our

first video doesn't need to be the

greatest video we've ever made. It just

needs to be enough to start to get those

gears moving, to start to get that

momentum because we can build followers

off of that relatively quickly and we

can avoid the years that people spend

like I did. It took me 8 years or

something like that to get my first 5

10,000 followers. Now, just last year

alone, I grew 15 accounts, one of them

to over 180,000 followers and the lowest

one at 5,000 followers. This is a

process that works and it will work over

and over and over again because you're

finally tapping into what makes people

watch on social media, which is it has

to be valuable for them. If you want a

quick tip, an idea, you're still like, I

still have no clue what to do, but I

just I need a little bit more help here.

Okay, what you're going to do is on your

phone, open up Tik Tok, you're going to

swipe down from the top of your screen,

and you're going to hit screen

recording. And you're going to record

yourself scrolling on Tik Tok for 10

minutes. Okay? Then save that. Tomorrow,

come back into it. Don't watch it right

after the fact. Come back to it tomorrow

and watch what videos you slow down on.

Watch what videos you stop on. And you

will be surprised that the videos that

you decide to watch are the ones that

are valuable to you. You don't you swipe

away from everybody else. You don't go,

"Well, they worked hard on that video. I

should watch it because they were No,

it's not how it works." But that's what

we do to oursel. We work hard on a

video, so we feel like, "Well, at least

I made something." Pat oursel on the

back. But what we don't understand is if

we're not packaging them properly, we're

essentially doing all of this work for

nothing. We're putting so much effort

and time to build something, but we're

just kind of throwing it away at the end

because we didn't package it in a way

that anyone would watch it. So then Tik

Tok won't push it out because there's no

engagement on it. So let me draw a

little diagram here for you to make it

make a little bit more sense so that you

can understand this. Now what we want to

do is we have two circles here, right?

We want this overlapping section right

here. First, we have what people care

about. I can't write, so that's

something else you're going to learn

about me. What people care about. My

handwriting is terrible. Then we have

what we know. It doesn't have to be

something you're an expert in, just

something that you like, something

you're interested in, something you're

passionate about, or something that

you're currently learning. And this area

in the middle right here, that is going

to be our zone where we want to focus on

the most. That area where those two

things cross over each other is where

the magic happens when it comes to

getting the most amount of followers. We

match what we care and what we know

about with what the world cares and

knows about, and we package it in a way

that is valuable to them. Now, let me

explain a little bit about how to do

this to you. I'm not going to go too

deep into it. So, the way that we're

going to do that to try to add the most

amount of value in and actually create

videos that people want to watch are

going to follow a basic structure. One,

we need to have the hook of our video,

the piece that gets people to pay

attention. If we don't have something

strong in the beginning of the video,

for example, if I start my video with,

"Hey everybody, um, I got this new thing

here and I wanted to talk to you about

it and tell you what I think about it.

Um, it's really nice and let's break

down why I think it's good." No one is

watching that video. I I promise you

it's just too there's nothing for them

at the beginning of the video at all.

Nothing going on. But if I sat down and

I started the exact same video with you

are not going to believe what I just saw

at Target. Did you like Okay, lemonade.

Zero calorie lemonade. Like I understand

not everyone cares about drinking their

calories. For me, I'm not trying to

drink a million calories like I was when

I was drinking soda all day. I can

finally have lemonade. That might be a

terrible example, but you can

understand. I'm making it about them.

and they feel like they're involved with

something. If I started off the video of

me holding the camera and walking up to

my wife and on the screen it says, "I

can't believe I caught this on camera."

That's something for people to go off if

it builds curiosity in their head that

they want to watch and pay attention to.

If I started off a video and said,

"March 23rd of 2025 was one of the

darkest days of my life and I just I

want to break down for you what

happened." Okay? It makes it easy for

people to watch. I'm not saying you have

to be an actor. I'm not saying you have

to know how to speak to a camera yet,

right? These are things that we're going

to get to, but we need a strong hook in

the video. From the hook, the next thing

that we want to get into is either the

pain point of the video or the point of

the video. So, we can just circle point.

We want to get to the point. Why are

people watching this? What is good about

it? Maybe it's the final punch line of

it being funny. Maybe it's the story

line. We want to get to what is the

point quickly. So, it's the hook that

tells people, "Hey, stop scrolling

essentially." And then we say, "What is

the point of the video?" Then at the

very end of that, we want to do the call

to action. This is where we simply

mention that they could follow or we

say, "Hey, if you want to learn more

about this, like I would love to have

you a part of this community." Whatever

we do, we need to tell them that they

can follow us because sure, some people

might follow without paying attention,

but if we just let them know, it doesn't

have to be over the top. Just a quick

like, if you guys want to hear more

about this story, you know, give this

page a follow. I'm going to be making

more videos like this. Is all that you

need to do to remind people that it's

there. It's a very simple three-step

process. It doesn't have to be

difficult, but you're going to hear this

word over and over and over again, which

is hook over and over and over. You're

going to hear people talk about the hook

because it is the most valuable piece of

your content, regardless of any type of

short form content that you are making.

If you don't have a good hook, you don't

have a video. You could have the

greatest video ever where in the last

one second of it, you're promising to

give away a million dollars. If you have

a bad first 3 seconds of your video, no

one will see that end point and the

video will end up with 60 to a few

hundred views and never go anywhere. So,

step one, choose a niche. We're not

going to try to speak to everyone

because you'll end up speaking to

nobody. We don't want to be a jack of

all trades, master of none. We want to

start with one niche and expand out. You

see, I started with music production and

I've expanded over time into a wider

niche or what I call a theme of tech.

So, answer these questions to choose

your niche. One, what are your

interests? Where do you have experience?

Look at competitors around you. What are

they doing? Look for trends. What is

futurep proof in this area? Step two,

we're going to do market research. We

want to find top creators and medium

level creators in that niche. Scroll

over their profiles, study them, and see

where those overlaps happen. You're

going to hear me talk about this over

and over of finding two areas where

something's going on and finding that

perfect area right in the middle where

they overlap. That is the area where you

want to hit on. Whether it's picking a

good product, or it's picking a good

niche, we're essentially looking for

areas where there's a spot where we can

actually go through that market and get

people to listen to us because it's not

overly saturated yet. And that's where I

want to get into the next piece, which

is for looking for patterns. What type

of hooks are they using? Are their

videos fast-paced? Are they funny? Are

they personal? Are they super polished?

Are they raw? Is it just them talking in

their car? Is it super nice lighting

set? What is the differences? And what

are the similarities that you see

between these so we can really dial in

on what's working here. Step three,

start creating the content. Don't

overthink it. The biggest mistake I see

new creators make is waiting until they

feel ready. I'm going to go when I have

the new camera. I'm going to go when I

have the new light. I'm going to go when

I have the right stuff. I'm going to go

after I do this course and test and

learn how to speak on camera. I'm going

to go after I do this and that. When I

get my new phone, when I don't have a

headache, when I don't have a stomach.

It can go on and on and on. And I'm

telling you, you need to start today,

right now. I don't even care if you

don't have a TikTok account yet. You

need to learn how to make videos fast.

And the best way that you can do that is

by making a lot of videos. You don't

need to spend all of your day doing it,

but a simple 10, 15, 20 minutes a day

just trying to make videos and speaking

to a camera is how you're going to come

across as engaging. I understand that I

speak a little fast and that maybe if

you watch this video, you need to watch

it a little bit slowed down, but that's

just how I naturally speak. But I was so

timid when I first started talking on

camera for years. I didn't have any

mentors. And when I finally did meet

mentors years into the process, I was so

slow to take their advice because I was

hard-headed. And I'm going to figure it

out for myself. But I wish I would have

listened because essentially what they

tried to teach me was be myself, speak

on camera how I would speak to my

friends or I would speak to my family.

And that is what's going to get people

to actually connect to me the most. But

instead, when I first started, it was,

"Hi everybody. Today I want to talk to

you about this thing about music and I I

think it's going to be great for you and

it will really help." And I see so many

people do that. you're essentially

putting a wall up between you and your

audience. And then I see people go the

opposite end of that spectrum, which is,

"What's up YouTube? This is Jerry coming

at you with another video. Here we're

going to be talking about tick talk shop

affiliate." That's not me either. And so

it comes across really fake and over the

top. Some people can get away with it. I

couldn't. I need to be myself. And

that's what I teach people. Really learn

how to be yourself. And the only way you

can do that by talking to a camera is by

doing it over and over and over again.

Because the second most people get a

camera in front of their face, they feel

weird. Is everything fine? How are my

hands? You know, do I have something in

my teeth? Is my hair Oh my gosh. Is

everything good? And so that's what's on

your mind. We got to get to where you

can speak to a camera and it's not

eating into your brain. The only way we

can do that is by talking to a camera

over and over and over again. So next,

what we're going to do in our content is

provide value like what we were talking

about before. You see, value can look

different. It could be educating. It

could be entertaining. It could be

inspiring. It could be relatable. You're

going to follow the trends that you saw

in other people's videos and provide the

value that you can provide. And what

we're going to do, and little secret

note here, is we're going to provide

that value quick and early in the video.

Step four, we're going to double down on

what works. If it starts to work and we

see us getting more views than our other

videos, we're going to keep doing that

more and more and more. That is how

these short form algorithms and

processes work is they're trying to find

specificity in your video. What's the

exact things that get people to watch

you? That's why you see people's

accounts be so dialed in with almost the

exact same style of video over and over

again because they tested a lot, saw

what worked, and went down that path.

Then in that smaller range, they tested

again, found out what worked, and went

down that path. And once you reiterate

on that over and over and over and over

again, you're going to find something

that works very, very good, connects

very deep to your audience. So next is

we're going to talk about don't fix what

isn't broken. And it goes right along

with doubling down on what works. If

something is working for you, don't get

scared because you saw a video from

someone saying you can't post from your

drafts or you need to use 48 exact

hashtag. Don't get scared. Don't let

those creator superstitions eek in. And

don't break your content if it's

starting to work. If it's not working,

let's do a bunch to try to figure it

out. But if it is working, let's not

break what isn't broken. And before we

move on, here are some basic bonus tips

that I came up with here. Quality over

quantity. I think people talk about this

all the time where they think that it

needs to be quality videos over quantity

of videos. And while at at the base

level of this, this is true. You can

never get to quality if you haven't put

out quantity. If I was going to hire

someone to put shingles on my roof and I

had two people that I was training, one

of them spent 35 minutes on every single

shingle, getting it perfectly lined up,

finding the exact right spot to put the

nail in, hammering it in just right

every single time. And then I had the

other person over here and they were

still doing their best that they could,

but they were okay with making a couple

mistakes and they were trying to get

through and really learn how to put as

many of these down in as many of

different situations as possible. Which

one do you think is going to become

better at putting shingles down quicker?

I don't know about you, but I would put

my money on the second one. The person

who's willing to make the mistakes, not

going to get in their head about it.

Understand that it's not about doing it

perfect. It's about doing it better than

they did before and trying to really get

out as much as they can. You're only

going to find quality in your content by

putting out quantity of content. So,

don't get scared of making a lot of

videos. Don't get scared of talking to

your camera often. Even if you feel

goofy at the beginning, anything we do

that's new is going to feel new and it's

going to feel weird. But once we get

started in it and we do that over and

over and over again, before you know it,

it's second nature and it's a new skill

set that you've unlocked that you didn't

have before. That in this growing age of

internet and everything like that can be

massively, massively beneficial for you

because I think personal brand and

affiliate marketing is going to be the

next big wave for decades to come. Next,

three to five hashtags related to your

post. Just keep it simple. Don't worry

about it too much. If you're talking

about a cell phone, you could do Samsung

Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone 16 Pro. In

that same line for cell phones, you

could also do #tech on Tik Tok. You

could also do #bestphone 2025. Simple

hashtags, but they're not the generic

ones. You don't do viral. You don't do

FYP. Uh you don't do funny. They're too

wide. It's unlikely that it's actually

going to tell Tik Tok what your video is

about. We want to pick three to five

that are related to your actual video.

Next, the main focus on the videos is

you and the product. So, you want to

make sure that you have good lighting,

good audio, be authentic, be yourself,

and try to have as much fun as you

possibly can in your videos. We want

people to connect to us. Again, it's a

personal brand that then we're

connecting to products. That's where

it's really going to go over the long

term. I don't think a lot of people

understand that. So, they just make a

video. Hey, here's this product. Here's

this thing. Go check it out. Which is

fine if you want to do that in the

meantime. you feel like it's going to

help you make money quicker, but over

the long term, I'm telling you, it's

going to personal brand. We'll talk

about that in videos way later on this

channel. It won't be in this one today,

but just know things are going to be

going down a path of a little bit more

niche and a little bit more personal

brand. So, if you want to start off

strong, start off figuring out how to

make the content about you, your

opinions, and getting people to connect

to you as the creator. And

congratulations. If you've done all of

these things correctly, I'm sure you've

hit that 1,000 followers. Now, it's time

to apply for a Tik Tok shop account.

Okay, once you're ready to go and you

have an account that is ready to get

into the Tik Tok shop affiliate program

because you have over 1,000 followers,

we're going to go into our Tik Tok

studio settings and right here, Tik Tok

Shop for creator. We're going to click

on that and it will say,

"Congratulations, you are invited to

join Tik Tok shop." It's going to say,

"You are eligible to apply. You meet our

community guidelines. You are at least

18 years old and you have over 5,000

followers." Sometimes it will say 5,000.

Sometimes it will say 1,000. For the

most part, it's 1,000. They recently

changed it over. You used to have to

have 5,000, so that's why it's still

saying that on my side. When I hit

accept invite, it's going to load it in

and let me into the Tik Tok shop

affiliate side of things. So, now that

you're in the Tik Tok shop affiliate

program, let's talk about how to find

winning products on Tik Tok shop. Once

you get accepted for Tik Tok, you will

have this area in the back end of your

account. This is called your Tik Tok

shop toolkit. If you click that product

marketplace button right there, we can

now go scroll all the different

products. And it's a little different

than when we just scroll through the

normal Tik Tok shop side that the

customers would see because this one

gives us this option right here for

exposure plus. And we can also filter by

free samples if we want to find products

that will give us free samples. If I

look up exposure plus right here, these

are basically Tik Tok telling me that

these products are going to be products

that Tik Tok is pushing soon or products

that Tik Tok thinks has the potential

for virality. Before to get these lists,

you had to be a top creator and they

were only giving out these lists to

those top creators called star creators.

Now, it's baked into the back end of Tik

Tok, but most people don't actually

understand that this is here. So, if I

want to look through this list and find

some good products, I have what I call

like a Goldilocks zone. I want to see

that it's in an impulse buy area, so

it's not too expensive, but it's not too

cheap. I want to make sure that I'm

getting at least $2 commission and at

least 15% commission. Um, and I want to

find something that's already made some

sales, but isn't overly saturated to

where millions and millions and millions

of people or whatever are already

talking about it. So, if I'm just

scrolling through this, um, I can see

these say this one has 189 sold, 39

sold, 27 sold, 113. I would like to try

to find something, if possible, that has

at least 500 to a,000 items sold. This

one right here has 234. So, this one

might not be bad. We can see it's on a

heavy discount flash deal, which can be

really, really good because people

obviously are going to buy more when

there's a sale. If we click up on here,

we see that there is a 17% commission on

this product. And when I look, only one

person has made a viral video for this

product. This is right inside that

range. No product is ever going to be

perfect. Something is always going to

have to be compromised on. So for this

one, the fact that there's only 234

sold, normally I'd want to go for about

500 to a,000. But me personally, if I

really felt like this one aligned with

my niche, I could talk about this

product because I feel like I could be

the one to get this product to go viral

and really make heavy sales on this. And

because it's on a campaign flash sale

right now, this would be a very good one

to start talking about if I could. And

it even has a free sample request. All

I'd have to do is click on here and get

free sample and the sample would come to

my door if I get approved for that.

Let's keep scrolling to try to find one

that I would actually talk about in my

tech niche. Okay, here is a good example

for one that I think that we could talk

about. This is on a Black Friday Cyber

Monday campaign sale that is still going

on right now, which is crazy because

it's the middle of May, but here's where

we are. It has 486 sold. It's only $40.

The sale is only going on for $10 more

dollars. It's about a product that I

already have, which is this Quest 3

headset, and it's right inside of that

range. And the commission on this

product is $4 per sale, and I can

request a free sample as well. So, this

is something that I'd be very interested

in looking at. There's more that I want

to go into. I always want to check and

make sure that there's good reviews on

the product, that the people that are

getting the product actually like the

product, and then if I can see a couple

videos to make sure that it's actually a

good product, because personally me, I

don't want to sell products that I think

aren't good, don't have potential. And

then another thing I do is I have to get

the product in hand and test it first.

Not everyone follows these rules.

Everyone's going to have their own

morals and ethics of how they decide to

go about it. But for me personally, I

don't want to push out products that the

purchaser is going to get and just

return because then I lose my

commission. I want to talk about good

products. The other way that we can find

good products is just going to our for

you page. If we go to our for you page

and just scroll around, we're going to

see videos like this where we will

randomly see products showing up. All we

have to do is scroll and boom, we will

now see this product. Our for you page

is going to be designed in a way so that

it's trying to push out products that it

knows that we will be interested in. So

if I see this right here, the Milano T5

wireless lavalier microphone, this is a

product that I already have actually and

I made videos about, but this product I

know has a lot of potential. I've worked

with Moana in the past. I would earn

$8.50 per sale. They have 374 in stock.

They have 100% positive reviews. No one

has had a massively viral video on it

yet, but there's a bunch of videos

starting to take off. It's on a sale.

It's a new product. This is something

I'd be looking at. Again, it only has

123 sold, but I'm completely comfortable

with that. So, this is the exact type of

product that I would purchase through

the refundable samples option because I

know I could make at least the three

sales necessary to get my money back.

So, remember this when choosing

products. Tik Tok Shop Marketplace is

your friend. Scroll, look around, click

around, and try to do a lot of research.

Product selection is probably one of the

most important pieces of this that no

one actually talks about and people just

end up requesting a bunch of samples for

stuff that they're like, "Oh, I get free

stuff. Let me just request all the free

stuff." And then they end up in a

situation where it confuses TikTok. Tik

Tok doesn't know what you're talking

about. And you don't actually have

products that are really good or high

potential to convert. You know, you want

to pick products that you can easily

demonstrate a wow factor on it. So, for

example, this is a product that I made

$1,000 on over the past 3 days. And it's

a screen that can stick to the back of

your phone that lets you see your back

camera's image through this screen. So,

I can record with my back camera. All I

had to do with this product was show how

fast it connects to my phone and show

that I can see myself using my back

camera on my phone and show the quality

difference. It was very easy to show off

this product, which made the videos take

off using this, which allowed me to make

$1,000 over 3 days. You also always want

to think ahead. Is this product future

proof? It doesn't need to be future

proof forever, but we don't want to talk

about a product that essentially isn't

good in the first place. And this is a

huge mistake I see so many people make

is they just see some person out there

randomly went viral on one video about a

random product and they feel like, oh my

gosh, they get fear of missing out and

they just want to jump in and talk about

it. If we can stick to what we're

passionate about, what we know about, or

at very least products that we know

could be beneficial to somebody out

there, that's where we're really going

to find the most success. When we look

at a product and we go, "Oh, that's

really cool. I would use that. And then

we get it and we test it and we're like,

this is really cool. I would use it or I

think my mom would use this or I think

my partner would use this or my best

friend would use this. Those are the

products that we know how to talk about

because there's a genuine feeling that

comes across when we're speaking about

them. Next, we're going to take

advantage of seasonal products. This is

where future proofing doesn't matter

that much, but it kind of will always be

baked in because it's seasonal. So, if

Mother's Day or Father's Day is coming

up, if uh Halloween or Christmas or

Fourth of July or any of these are

coming up, there's always going to be

times that these products are going to

connect. Right now, I know people doing

really well with bug zappers because

it's starting to be summer. Bugs are out

and about and people are selling bug

zappers like crazy because people don't

think about it until it's summer and

they're sitting outside and they're

dealing with bugs and then your video

comes across their page and they go, "Oh

my gosh, yes, and it's 50% off. I'm just

going to get it and try it out." People

don't realize how powerful these are,

but it takes a few weeks sometimes for

our videos to really connect with the

algorithm. So, let's think ahead on what

seasons are coming up and get prepared

for what products we're going to talk

about. And then finally, I mentioned it

a little bit before, but we want it to

be that impulse buy price point. But

products between $20 to $80, probably

around 40, uh, is the perfect impulse

buy area. It really depends on the

overall price of the product. For

example, if there was a mini fridge

that's normally $600, but it's on sale

for $200, you'll probably be okay at

selling that. But products that are

between 20 to $60 to $80 are 100% the

best area because people will watch it

and go, "Hey, uh, I needed some new

headphones anyway, and those headphones

are only $20. Let's try them and see

what we think." And so ask yourself

these questions. One, would I ever use

this product? Is the product currently

on sale, or is it going to be going on

sale? Sometimes the seller will tell you

and sometimes the back end will tell

you. What product does this problem

solve? So, dive deep into what that pain

point solves of this product. For

example, that screen that I made $1,000

on. I went deep onto the pain points of

the other screens that were already out

there and explained that this one wasn't

good cuz you have to clip it to your

phone. It's just it's the older one. It

has to be plugged in so you can't use

your wireless mics. And this one

connects over Wi-Fi. So, it takes like 2

minutes to connect every single time.

And once you connect, there's a weird

lag, like a big delay using your back

camera when you're recording in 4K. And

I explained that this new one doesn't do

that. It connects in seconds. And I

showed that process of the difference

between the two. When we can really

speak on the pain points of the product

and connect people to the an actual

person talking about the pain points,

not just the features of the product,

that is going to be how we connect to

it. Brands are always going to want you

to just say every single feature about

the product. And this new phone has the

custom titanium blah blah blah with all

this stuff. That's not what people

connect to. People want to know like the

battery is now not dying on me every

single day. And the photos I take of my

kids are finally something I feel like

I'm proud of. Boom. That's the stuff.

It's the pain points that people live

with every single day about the product

that we're connecting with people and

showing that it solves those problems.

That's where picking the right products

come into play. We're not out here

trying to scam people to get people to

buy anything. We're trying to really

pick good products and talk about them

in the way that we make good videos

about them so that we're bringing those

two things together and then those

customers end up trusting us seeing our

face. We build a personal brand and they

want to keep coming back to our videos

over and over again to learn from us

about what products are good for your

car or in my case for tech uh or in some

other people's cases what outdoor stuff

or patio furniture or indoor homegoods

or the list goes on and on and on.

There's so many different niches. There

is so much money out there for

everybody. There is a space for

everybody in this. Uh you just have to

be willing to step up to the plate and

start making the videos. Next question.

How many units have been sold this past

month. Now, if there's one or two units

sold, it might be really hard for you to

be the one to get the attention on the

product. If you're confident in it,

you've worked with a lot of brands,

you've already gotten a lot of videos to

go viral, then I would recommend

starting to step into that space because

you're going to get the most reward if

you're the person that brings the

initial viewership to that product. But

for the average person out there who's

wanting to make an extra $5 to $10,000 a

month, I would focus on products that

have already sold 500 to 510,000 units

and there's a lot of people already

talking about them and we can bring our

own energy and unique spin on it. But

maybe think twice about talking about

products that are selling tens of

thousands of months and have hundreds

and hundreds of videos in the millions

of views. You can still do well in those

and I see people do it all the time. We

can talk about that more later if you

guys want to in another video. But if I

really want to give you guys that best

spot, the easiest place to aim at, I

would say aim at those that are just

starting to really take off, catch that

uh growth as it's happening and ride

that wave up of people finding out what

the product is. If you can be early in

on those by always paying attention to

what products work, that's how I would

do it. Next question, is it currently

getting sales? We want to look at the

reviews and make sure that people have

been leaving reviews recently because

people will leave reviews after they get

the product. So, we want to see that in

the past few weeks, people have been

getting the product, that they've been

liking it. And then finally, how many

units are in stock? This just happened

to me with this screen. This screen went

from making me $1,000 over the past 3

days to making me $0 after it because I

sold out their product. Another company

reached out to me that sells this exact

same product, they had $5,000 in stock.

So, even though I've been doing this for

a long time, it was late at night when I

posted my video. I forgot to check for

the best link on the product. I just

posted one and I didn't realize there

was a competitor that had 5,000 of these

in stock. If I would have went with

them, I would have easily turned this

instead of making $1,000 into this into

10, maybe 15, maybe $20,000 off this

single product. So, you always want to

check on that. Even if you've been doing

this for a year or longer, even if you

feel like you're an expert in the space,

always be double-checking your links,

making sure that you're picking the best

one because if a product you sell them

out and they go out of stock, you

obviously can't make any more sales

because the company doesn't have any

more in stock. So, now have to wait for

the company to get more. and it's a

whole thing. So, here is how to get free

samples. One, we request the sample from

the seller. When you're first starting

out, if you don't have any sales, the

likelihood of you getting free samples

is pretty low. There's some ways to do

it, but honestly, the best way by far is

send messages to sellers. I've had so

many friends who start in this and they

don't know how to get samples and they

don't know what to do. And the people

who listen to this one piece of advice

get samples every single time. You're

going to spend 30 minutes of your day

and you're going to copy and paste a

message that you spend that you send out

to, I don't know, as many sellers as you

can, 50, 100 sellers that just

essentially says, "Hey, this is me. I

want to make this many videos for your

product. Think this would be a fair deal

in exchange for a free sample." Say 10

videos, five videos for the product,

whatever you're comfortable doing. And

you'll be surprised how many of these

companies say yes because they want to

get these samples in the hands of

creators. It's very low cost for them.

almost no one actually messages them

back, especially bigger creators because

bigger creators, we're in a space where

we're starting to get brand deals and

we're having companies come to us

offering us hundreds of dollars per

video and 30 video deals and stuff like

that. Some of these other companies out

there, you would be surprised, they will

send you out samples quickly. So then

then you can have the sample, you can

start making videos about it, then you

can make sales, and then you can

actually request the samples through Tik

Tok itself. Okay? Okay, so if you want

to see me request a free sample and show

you exactly how I do it, you'll be

scrolling and you'll see this orange

shopping cart or maybe you'll be in the

shop center itself. Either way, when you

see the product, if you have the option

for a free sample, it will show up here

where it says free sample. If I click up

on this, this will only show up if

you're in the Tik Tok shop affiliate

program. By the way, all I do is click

on that get free sample option. I would

choose which version of the product I

want and I would hit request free

sample. From here, you're going to hit

accept that you will make a video about

the product when it's done. and then you

hit submit. That is literally all you

have to do to request a free sample and

they will let you know in seven days if

you're approved. And if you are, it will

automatically send it to your house.

Okay. So, if you want to see me request

a sample from a company, what I'm going

to do is I'm going to click on the

option here, but this time I don't get

the option for a free sample. So, what

am I going to do? I'm going to hit that

contact seller button and I'm going to

send them a direct message. You can do

it through WhatsApp as well or through

email. Any of those would work and

honestly try all of them. There's

literally no downside. Worst case they

say is no. I'm going to reach out to

them right here and I'm going to say, "I

would love to make five videos in

exchange for a free sample of your desk

clamp friction arm. I think my audience

would respond very well and I would love

to show how useful it is for filming

top-down overhead shots. Let me know. I

look forward to speaking. And then I

would just hit send. So then I would

wait for them to respond. Honestly, I

would copy and paste that and I would

send it to a bunch of different brands.

Now me personally, obviously I already

sent this so I can't really unend it,

but this company knows me. So if they

write me back, I'll let them know like

this was just because I'm filming a

video and I would love to make a video

about this product still. But I work

with them in the past. So for me, I

wouldn't do five videos on a product for

free. But when I'm getting started and I

don't have products, I think that's a

very very fair option. And so here's a

free template that you can use. Hi, I

love your product and put the product

name in. I think my audience would

respond really well to it. I would love

to make three videos for it in exchange

for a free sample. Next, let's get into

how to actually create viral Tik Tok

shop videos. Number one, we need to

understand our target audience. Number

two, we need an engaging hook. Number

three, we're going to do good

storytelling that people want to listen

to. Number four, using that

storytelling, we're going to tap into

the pain points of the target audience.

Number five, provide the solution to

those pains. Number six, speak with your

authentic voice. And number seven, take

inspiration from competitors. You don't

need to reinvent the wheel. Find

something that works and add your unique

twist to it. So, here's my four-step

process to a viral video framework.

Number one is the hook. We talked about

this before, and you're going to keep

hearing creators talk about this for the

rest of your career if you decide to

take this step into this space. The hook

is so important. Number two,

relatability and controversy. And I

follow these in order. So when I'm

making a video, number one thing I'm

saying out of my mouth is the hook. The

number two is either being relatable or

controversial. They're kind of the same

thing cuz anything that relates to one

person, another person doesn't relate

to. So it adds some controversy. Number

three, what is the pain point of the

product and how does this solve this?

Number four, the call to action. Okay,

so let's use this little viral screen

that I was talking about before as an

example and let's structure a video.

Typically, I don't write out my videos.

I do most of them off the top of my

head. But just to make it clear, I'm

going to have my phone here where I'm

writing my notes again. And I'll show

you exactly how I do it. So, number one,

I'm going to need a strong hook, right?

So, if I think about what's something

that would make people want to pay

attention to this product, probably a

visual hook of me sticking it on the

back of my screen because most people

wouldn't even realize that that is a

thing. and probably saying something

like, "Everyone knows you need to film

with the back camera on your phone to

get the highest quality, but it is very

hard to frame yourself and actually see

what's going on." Okay, that's my hook.

So, I can't really write all that out,

but you understand what I'm saying. Show

the screen and say best quality,

essentially quality. You guys get what

I'm trying to write. Okay. Next, we want

to go into being relatable or

controversial. Say something that gets

people to pay attention or that gets

people to really relate for us. For this

example, let's go with controversy and

say something about iPhone versus

Android because that gets everyone in

the comments every single time. So, to

build on top of that, we're going to

say, "Everyone knows that you need to

use the back camera on your phone to get

the highest quality possible, but it's

really hard to frame yourself if you

can't see yourself, and that's where

these viral screens come into place that

you see all over Tik Tok." Now, I'm

someone that actually knows what I'm

doing. So, I'm using an iPhone here.

Added in controversy. Obviously, I'm

also using a Samsung, but I'm just doing

it for controversy. So, my controversy

vers is going to be iPhone versus

Android. Okay, hopefully this is all

making sense so far. Next, we want to go

into the pain point of the product and

what it solves. And then we're going to

go into the call to action, actually

telling them they can purchase it. So,

to build on top of that, let's actually

go into the pain point. I'm not going to

actually connect the screen because, you

know, I'm not going to go through this

whole process to make it take even

longer, but just pretend I connect the

screen, right? So, the video starts.

Everyone knows you're supposed to use

the back camera on your phone to get the

highest quality possible, but it's

really hard to do that if you can't

frame yourself and see yourself. So,

most people are stuck looking through

their front camera. Now, I obviously

know what I'm doing, so I'm using an

iPhone here, but that is where these

viral screens come into place that you

see all over Tik Tok. This one connects

in less than 3 seconds. All I have to do

is come down here, hit this screen

mirroring option, and when the iCreen

P2P shows up. I just have to click on

that and within 1 to two seconds, my

screen is going to show on here, and I

don't have to deal with not being able

to see myself. So then, if I go into my

camera on my phone, I can now see myself

using my back camera. So, if I point my

back camera at myself, you can see that

I can see myself. I have all the buttons

to be able to change the brightness up

and down. I can change the stretching.

So if I'm using a tablet and obviously I

don't need to be that close to myself, I

can flip it upside down like that. Now

this one is the one that you need to get

in 2025 because unlike these ones that

sure they kind of do the same thing.

This one has to be clipped onto your

phone but also plugged in so you can't

use any of your stuff or charge your

device. And this one connects over Wi-Fi

which means that same process that you

saw me take two minutes takes like 10. I

don't need to do this anymore. Okay,

hopefully that makes sense so far. You

see I kind of added all those things in.

The pain point was how long it takes to

connect, how long it takes, and seeing

myself while recording myself. And now

I'm going to add in the call to action.

The call to action, I'm just going to

let them know that there's a deal going

on it right now. So I'm just going to

say there's a deal and talk about uh the

cart so that they know where to buy it.

So we tie all this together and you will

see me literally make a video in real

time about exactly how to do this. So

pretend I hit record on here. So

everyone knows that to get the best

quality possible, you need to use the

back camera on your phone. But that is

really hard to do when you can't see

yourself or frame yourself. But that's

where these viral monitors you keep

seeing all over the internet come into

play. So I don't need to use my front

camera anymore. You see, I already know

what I'm doing. So I'm someone that uses

an iPhone, but I want to be able to see

myself. And that is where this one comes

into play. This one connects in seconds.

So let me show you. I can actually

disconnect it here and show you how fast

it reconnects. So I'm going to go stop.

You'll see it's back on the same screen

that it normally is again. Now all I

have to do is swipe down, hit screen

mirroring on my phone, and just click

screen P2P. And in less than like two

seconds, it is now going to be showing

every single thing on my phone. This one

doesn't have that same lag as the other

one does. This one isn't like these

other options where this one has to plug

in and also clip on, which is kind of

terrible. This one connects over Wi-Fi,

takes 1 to 2 minutes every single time

you want to use it. So, if you guys want

to get this one, which by the way is

actually cheaper than those other two

options, this one's on sale right now

for $40 instead of the normal 88. So, if

you guys want to see if that deal is

still available for you, click on that

orange shopping cart below. Okay, we

just made a video. Super simple, almost

no editing needed. But now we're going

to go into the next part, which is how

to edit an engaging video. So, I'm going

to teach you guys how to edit a video,

but I'm going to film one really quick

that we can make together in real time

where we're going to be talking about

these kind of screens.

Now, to edit this, we're going to keep

it super simple. We don't have to do

anything crazy. All we have to do is go

into TikTok, hit that plus option there,

hit the picture thing, add that in, and

hit next. From here, we're going to hit

that little editor option at the top.

And all we're going to do is cut out the

areas where we aren't talking. I'm going

to go right to where my mouse starts to

move. We don't want any dead space. This

space right here where you see me

talking. We don't want that in there.

That little bit of a space is the

difference between 500 views and a,000

views. Micros secondsonds matter a ton,

especially in the beginning of your

video. So, we want to get rid of all of

that stuff so it just starts right at

the beginning. We cut that out. And this

is how the video starts.

Now, if you're not as comfortable saying

the entire video in one go, you might

want to record take one, take two, take

three. All we do is we go until there's

points where we're not talking, which

for me, I think I did this whole thing

in one take. I'm going to go to the very

end. I'm just going to chop off that end

clip. One of the biggest mistakes that

people make is they overedit. They try

to add in stickers, transitions, a bunch

of text on the screen. The only other

thing that I would add at the very

beginning is maybe some text that builds

some curiosity or helps people

understand what to do. So, I'm going to

say, "How to record with your back

camera, all caps, easily." Oh, come on.

All caps easily. I'm going to put that

so it's not distracting. It's not on top

of my face. And I'm only going to have

that play for about 3 seconds. And just

like that, the video is literally done.

This is what I was trying to say earlier

that you don't have to be good at

editing. You don't have to know what

you're doing when it comes to this. Most

people overedit so much that I have to

convince them to stop it because they're

not professional editors. I owned a

cinematography company for a decade. I

know how to edit fully in all of the

professional editing softwares. I know

how you use the nicest cameras and all

that stuff. Why don't you think I'm

doing that for my shop videos? Because

it doesn't help. Because people want

real, authentic. They just want simple.

They don't want text and transitions and

music. Please don't put music behind

your shop videos unless it is very

helpful, which 99.9999%

of the time it's not. Please keep it

simple, just like this. How fast did it

take me to make this video? It's a 45se

secondond long video, maybe a minute and

a half. This is why it doesn't need to

take you your entire day to do Tik Tok

shop affiliate. You don't need to be

spending 9 hours a day doing this. You

can go in for the hour, make the 10

videos you want to make that day and go

live your life and be with your kids and

do your hobbies and have the stuff that

you enjoy and build a balanced life for

yourself while making content that can

make you money and genuinely follows a

process that has been proven to do well

over and over and over again. because

we're following a strong process of

hook, controversy, pain points of the

product, call to action. It is

legitimately as simple as that. And so,

I want to show you an example of a good

Tik Tok video that I made recently cuz I

know a lot of these creators are only

showing you videos that they made a year

ago. This one I made in the past 3 4

days or so. It has 347,000 views. I did

use a nice camera just because I like

it. It's something I enjoy. Um, but

again, you don't need to do this. I made

a bunch of videos just like this from my

phone and they're also doing well. But I

wanted to show you this one to break

down what is a good Tik Tok shop video.

Let's watch it together. It's about 3

minutes long. We all know that you

should be using the back camera instead

of the front camera on your phones to

get the best quality videos. But if

you're looking at one of these screens

that can go on the back of your phone,

they are not made the same. And please

don't make the same mistake I did and

spend way more to get way less features.

You see, this one has that terrible

bracket style so that it you have to do

this and it has to be plugged in. And

while we're watching this, try to think

of the hook, controversy, relatability,

pain point of the product, call to

action, because I still follow it in

this video, and I followed it in every

video since then. And another pro tip

here, notice how I said the same thing

in this video, and I'm saying it in a

bunch of other videos. You can

essentially make almost the same video

over and over and over again because no

one cares. No one notices. Even if you

have hundreds of thousands of followers,

people think, "Oh, no. I've already

talked about that. I made that video.

What am I supposed to do? Make the video

again?" I made my microphone video that

made me $50,000 12 times over and over

and over again. And that was 12 videos

that ended up going viral. I actually

made the video about a hundred times

total across all my different accounts.

But of the ones that did really well

that I really basically said the exact

same thing over 12 times, which kind of

drives me crazy cuz then I can't use my

wireless microphones. This one sticks on

the back of your phone, which is really,

really great. other than you have to

connect to it through Wi-Fi. So, every

single time I try to connect to it, it

becomes really frustrating. Whereas this

one, it actually costs less. It's on a

sale right now for $36. It's normally

88. You can literally just turn the

screen on and then when you're on your

phone, all you have to do is swipe down

and you can choose the screen mirroring

option and then it will show up in this

list as iCreen. Once you click on that

right there, then everything that's on

your phone will just show up on here

without needing to do anything else.

This is so much nicer. I can have it

separate from my phone. So, I can still

have my wireless mics plugged in, check

my framing if I'm doing a skit or

something like that. I can stick it

right to the back of my phone. And the

other big thing is it works with my

Android devices, which this one, when I

try to plug it in, it just says I need

to download an app. When I try to

download the app, it says it doesn't

work with this. This one, I can get it

to work sometimes over the Wi-Fi, but

it's super buggy. And anytime I'm

recording in 4K, there's this really

weird crazy delay thing going on.

Whereas this one that is cheaper, by the

way, is actually working on all of my

devices. I don't have to like sync it to

one, connect to Wi-Fi on the other. I

can just hand this to my wife. She can

use it on hers. It is so much better.

And I'm telling you, this is the one

that you need to get. I'm going to link

it here in the video. Don't use this one

that has the crazy clip-on thing that's

super frustrating and needs to plug in.

And don't use this one that connects

through Wi-Fi. They should all be

connecting through that screen mirroring

option. This is the future of how they

should work. Peace out. Okay, so

hopefully you can see that all the

things that I'm saying so far is what

I'm putting into place in these videos.

And if you start to pay attention to

viral videos in any niche or any genre,

you're going to see them follow the same

structure over and over and over again.

The only ones that don't really follow

that at all are the ones where people

aren't talking at all or they're doing

dance trend videos, which you can do as

well. They just don't work as well for

shop. So now let's go into the next

piece, which is talking about 200 view

jail or really the myth of 200 view

jail. You see, what is 200 view jail?

It's a common sticking point for

creators on Tik Tok. It means that your

videos get around 200 to 600 views and

then stop getting more. So, why does

this happen? Because everyone thinks

that it's Tik Tok being against them,

that there's some Tik Tok overlords just

choosing that they'll never be

successful or go anywhere. Well, the

real reason it happens is Tik Tok system

decides not to show your videos to more

people and it doesn't grow any bigger.

And it does that because you're not

getting engagement because the beginning

of your videos aren't something that

people are watching or engaging with. So

Tik Tok sees them as these aren't

valuable videos, so they're not going to

keep pushing them out. So how do we

escape 200 view jail? Number one, we're

going to find a target demographic like

we talked about before. Number two,

we're going to write a list of what

would be valuable to them as viewers.

We're going to then search for other

successful creators in that space, and

we're going to create videos that create

a high amount of value for the viewer.

If you see some overlap here, it's

because there is. It's the exact same as

growing a new page. Essentially, what

we're doing is we're trying to connect

our account back into the algorithm the

way that it was supposed to. The

algorithm is designed to find people who

want to watch your videos and show them

your videos. But if no one is wanting to

watch with your videos, which Tik Tok

judges that based on how much they

engage, then the videos never keep

getting pushed out, so they never find

their audience. So, we want to pick who

are we speaking to. Maybe we're talking

to other stay-at-home moms. Maybe we're

talking to dads who've been working

their entire life away, but they really

just want more time with their family.

Maybe we're talking to the kid who's in

college who wants to make enough money

to buy a Lamborghini and fly private for

the rest of his life. Who I don't know.

That's up to you. But we're trying to

pick who are we talking to and then

decide what would be valuable for them.

What do those type of people like to

see? What do those people like to do? We

want to know them directly. not just

like paint some idea in our mind, but

I'm speaking to Kevin, who is the

32-year-old father who goes to work

every single day and he just wants to

come home, spend more time with his

family, and have time for his hobbies.

That's who I'm speaking to. If you can

get that specific with who you're

talking to, it makes it much easier to

connect to your audience directly. Let's

talk about the Tik Tok Shop affiliate

full sales guide. One, we need to

understand consumer behavior. The most

successful affiliates understand the

psychology behind the consumer's

behavior and what causes them to want to

watch and eventually purchase a product.

Number two, and this is one that's

important to me, sell with authenticity.

Sell and be authentically yourself. So,

people want to buy from you. People want

authenticity. People want raw and real.

This isn't a world of Backstreet Boys

anymore. It's a world of Post Malones.

It's a world where people are okay with

seeing the cracks in people, with people

being actual human beings. Your house

not being perfectly clean. You're not

saying every word right. It's okay.

People want that real authenticity.

That's what we need to bring forward.

I'm telling you, it makes the

difference, but people get in their own

way for sometimes years and years. If

you can just put that out of your mind

and understand, okay, I need to figure

out how to be me on camera. That is

what's going to be the best. Not who you

think the world wants you to be. Not I

need to hold myself perfect and make

sure I look perfect and say, "Hey

everybody, how's it going?" No, just be

yourself. I'm telling you, that's the

difference. Three, how can we trigger

the emotions of people? And I don't mean

like trigger them. I mean essentially we

want to make videos that connect with

people so that they want to watch. We

want to make them feel happy, sad,

surprised, disgusted, like my ranch

example earlier. Fear, scared, whatever

you want it to be. However you want to

make your content is your thing. But if

you start watching viral content, you're

going to notice that early on, the first

3 seconds of the video, it tries to make

you feel something, right? If we can get

those emotions across in people, they're

going to want to watch more often. It's

the difference between me saying the

summer of 2025 was one of the craziest

times of my life and I need to get this

story off my chest versus in 2025 had a

pretty intense time um and it kind of

hurt me financially. So, I want to like

tell you guys what I'm trying to do now

to come back from it. I said basically

the same thing in those two different

versions, but the first one was so much

easier to listen to because I'm bringing

the emotion out. It's not acting. I'm

still being myself. I'm still being

authentic. It's how I tell the story,

right? Um and I could go way more in

depth on storytelling if you guys want

to know. Also, leave the comments below

and let me know if something you'd be

interested in. Um, we can talk about how

to tell more engaging stories. I think

it's first most important to learn how

to speak as our self on camera. Then

second, we learn how to how to tell

stories in a more engaging way that

still is coming from our authentic tone.

But anyway, next, here are some of the

emotions that you can leverage. One,

trust. Establish credibility. Position

yourself as an expert. Trust and

reliability will cause people to buy

from you. It's why people buy tech from

me so often because for over a decade

I've worked in tech at a high level with

cinematography and running a music

studio and then my past experience of

running a computer company where I would

set up computers and help people remove

viruses, things like that. Number two,

fear of missing out. Highlight the

limited time offers and exclusive deals.

Obviously, people are going to want to

understand, oh my gosh, there's only 10

left of this thing and it's 90% off. I

want to get one, right? That's always

been the case. It's why you see sales

going on everywhere. Three, happiness.

Focus on demonstrating on how your

product will improve your audience's

life. Very often, even you seeing the

product and reacting to it in an

exciting way is enough to get people to

buy. You'd be surprised how many

massively viral videos are done by just

someone's reaction, genuine reaction to

how good the product was. Number four,

sadness and empathy. Show that you

understand your viewers pain points and

potentially have had them yourself and

how this has helped you or even if it

hasn't made it go away completely, it's

made it a little bit easier to deal

with. This is a very strong and powerful

tool. I'm not telling you to make people

scared or make them sad. Basically,

making them understand that you

understand their being scared and them

being sad. If you can connect with them

like that, then they will listen to you

more and they'll listen to you more

about a product that might help them.

Again, hopefully you're doing this

morally and ethically in a way that they

actually would connect to the product

because you're talking about good

products and you're not lying about

them. Okay, so the different types of

approach to sales, be relatable, you can

sell the sale, and you can do skits.

There's a few different styles, but for

the most part, this is the big three.

Being relatable is just us. It's a

personal brand. It's people connecting

to us and they're buying from us because

we are connecting with them. They like

us or they like our opinion or what have

you. Number two, selling the sale. This

thing is on sale right now for 45% off

and they only have it going for another

four hours. Get it now. That's another

type of video. You'll also be heard it

called as bottom of funnel very often.

Next is skits. Essentially, it feels

like a fly on the wall. It feels like

people don't know if is this uh like

planned out or is this real. It's a

style of video that will always be viral

online. It has been since the beginning

of social media and it will continue to

be because it's easy to watch. It

doesn't feel like someone's talking at

you. It feels like you're watching real

life happen. So, why are your videos

getting views but not making sales?

Let's talk about it. Number one, the

audience hasn't been targeted correctly.

Number two, it's not obvious to the

viewers that they can get the product.

Essentially, we didn't do a call to

action. Number three, the hook was

strong, but the transition into that

product wasn't. I see this very often on

hooks where people want to watch because

of what's going on in the skit is really

really good, but they don't ever really

transition into the product well. So

then no one even understands that this

was a skit about a product. Number four,

the product just wasn't the right fit

for the audience. It could be because

Tik Tok didn't push it out to the right

audience. It could be because we the way

we spoke or showed off the product

wasn't good. But these are the four

reasons really on average that the

videos aren't making sales. Maybe you're

getting views, but they're just not

converting. So, what to do after you

make your first sale as a Tik Tok shop

affiliate? Okay, so first of all, you

just made your first sale. So, congrats.

That is the hardest part and it is done.

If you're coming back to watch this the

second time because you remembered all

the stuff I said and you're like, he's I

remember him talking about what to do

after the first sale. Congratulations.

Drop that down in the comments. I'm

super proud of you. You are on your way

to making this be something so amazing

for yourself. So, here's what to do to

make sure that this is the first of many

sales and not a one- hit wonder, made

one sale, and that's it. Step one, we're

going to analyze our performance. You

know, we're going to analyze what worked

in that video. What was it? Do we think

it was the way that we spoke in the

beginning? Do we think it was how we

made the video? Do you think it was

because the product was on a sale? What

do we think made the video go viral?

Number two, we're going to double down

on that. We're going to make more and

more and more videos like that, changing

one little bit at a time. Test a

different hook. Test a different call to

action. test uh talking about the sale

or not talking about it. We want to find

the actual piece that made it take off.

So, if your video got 50,000 views and

made a few sales, we want to figure out

how do we turn that into 500,000 views

or 5 million views and get real sales

going. And we do that by tweaking little

things because now we know the product

can sell. We know that people are

interested in it. We know that we can

talk about it in a way that gets it to

sell, but we need to really dial it in

on what's that most potent point that

makes people listen to us. Number three,

we're going to improve our content.

We're always constantly aiming to get

better as a creator, better quality,

whether that's video and audio quality

or the actual quality of how we speak on

camera, how we come across on camera.

We're always going to be trying to get

better and better and better. And number

four, staying consistent. I know it's

cliche, but consistency is legitimately

the key when it comes to Tik Tok. It is

the main thing Tik Tok cares about. And

if you're in any of these Tik Tok

meetings with reps or people on the

algorithm side, everything that you'll

hear over and over and over again is

consistency consistency consistency.

That's what they want. So, let's talk a

little bit about how to make money live

streaming as a top affiliate because it

is one of the most lucrative spaces

right now. You see, in China, I think

they do 70 or 80% of their income on Tik

Tok shop through live streaming, and

that is where they want it to be in the

US. So, Tik Tok is pushing live streams

like crazy right now. So, if you're

willing to do live streams, which most

people get scared of them, but don't let

them scare you. Just understand they are

doing so well right now. It is very

common for me to hear people say, "I can

make a lot of money on lives, but I

can't make money on videos yet." Because

videos, you have to consistently go

viral over and over again. You have to

figure out how that virality process

works. How to always understand the

changing landscape of social media. With

lives, you get on, you talk about a good

product, and you read a script over and

over and over. You read a threeinut

script for 90 minutes. You're not

talking to the same person for 90

minutes about one product. You're

talking to a new person every three

minutes about that product for 90

minutes. And if you understand that, you

can go really, really far in the live

streaming space. So, what we're going to

want to do is stay live for at least 90

minutes. We're going to use a prep sheet

or basically a loose script. You can

even follow a script completely if you

can do it without sounding like you're

reading. The next we're going to keep

the energy up and the pacing tight. What

we don't want to do is say, "Okay,

everybody join in. Um, if you have any

questions, ask them. Um, I'm here to

answer them for Don't do that. Speak how

I'm speaking now. Be engaging. Talk

completely about the product. It's not

uncommon for you to have kind of a sore

throat after your first day. You'll get

used to it, but have a drink with you.

Sit back, relax, and just keep talking

about the product. The next, hold the

product, show the product, use the

product. Tik Tok can give you violations

if you're not showing the product and

you're not using it. So, make sure you

have it in your hands. You're showing

it. You're explaining it. You're

explaining what this product is, why

it's good, and the deals that are going

on. Next, avoid distractions. Get rid of

your phone. Don't have your phone there.

The only thing you should be focused on

is the live stream and your chat. Next,

test repeating the same product across

multiple lives. Ideally, you're doing

the same product for about two weeks to

give Tik Tok the chance to understand

what product you're talking about. And

again, that's where product selection

comes in a lot more. We want to make

sure that we're picking good products.

So, how can you set up your first Tik

Tok live? One, we're going to create a

plan and we're going to be prepared

going into that live. You see, Lee made

$1,000 in one day by lunch by going live

using this exact three-step plan that

I'm about to show you. You can see that

screenshot there of him saying, "Live

streaming has changed my life. $1,000 by

lunch on a Saturday and now it's family

time. It finally started to face lives.

So, if I can do it, you can do it, too.

And in one day, early in the morning,

made $1,000 that day. So, here's the

three-step plan. One, product selection.

Choose a product to go live with, and

you can follow that same step that I

used before, teaching you how to find

good products. Step two, scripting.

Understand why people buy the product

and note down key selling points. What

are the pain points? We need two or

three of them that we can talk about.

What are the things that we can show on

the product easily? Write those down.

Number three, a visual setup. Make sure

the product is the main focus. There's

good lighting, good audio, and keep it

simple. You don't need to use a fancy

microphone. You don't need to use a

million-doll light. Stand so that a

window is what's lighting you up. Please

don't put the window behind you. Cameras

do a terrible job. If you're standing

like this and the windows behind you,

turn the other way so the window is

what's lighting you directly. You can do

the same thing with the product. You'll

have great lighting. Use your phone's

microphone. And as long as you don't

have a bunch of distracting stuff going

on around you, you'll be good to go.

That is all you need. So, here's the

myths and the realistic expectations.

Myths, you need to go viral to be

successful. Two, negative comments kill

sales. And three, you need to be

original and create neverbeforseening

content. These just aren't true. You do

not need to go viral to be successful. I

know a lot of people who their average

views is about 1 to 3,000. But I know

some of those people posting 20 videos a

day, which might sound crazy, but you

saw us make one in less than a minute

and a half. So, 20 videos a day, what?

That's less than an hour of recording.

They do that and because they get so

many views over them constantly getting

a few thousand, they make very, very

good money. Now, number two, negative

comments kill sales. This is the

opposite of true. Viral, viral, viral

videos never happen without massive

amounts of what we call troll comments.

It's just bound to happen. So, don't let

it get to you. If you don't have the

thickest skin and they really start to

bother you, just don't read your

comments. Turn off the notifications for

them. And block out any keywords that

really hit you. If there's certain words

that really just let you're like I, you

know, it's toxic for me mentally, block

those keywords on the back end of Tik

Tok. But understand that people just

trolling you is how the internet works.

Unfortunately, it is what it is. But it

makes videos blow up because then people

start arguing in the comments, which

tells Tik Tok people are engaging and it

keeps moving from there. Number three,

you need to be original and create

never-before-seen content. No, Tik Tok

has always been a platform based around

taking inspiration from people and

remaking their videos. That is

legitimately what Tik Tok is. And that

is the power of Tik Tok Shop affiliate

is I hope you take my videos and make

your own versions. Obviously, if you

steal them word for word or download my

video and post it, one, you'll probably

get a bunch of violations to get your

account deleted. But two, yeah, then

you're just stealing content. But if you

took my idea and you basically made the

same video in your own style, I would be

stoked for that. I've had people make

videos using my content make more money

than me off that video. I don't get mad.

I'm super stoked because that just goes

to show there's more than enough money

for all of us. there's enough for all of

us to eat and we can all be teaching

each other what trends are working so we

can all hit them hard as they go along.

Imagine only one person being able to

hit a trend at a time. That would suck.

You would have essentially no chance.

But because we can all share this and

all share the trends that are happening

and all attack them at the same time, we

all have the chance to be able to really

develop and do well in this space. Okay,

the expectations expect to fail. It's

super normal. Even if you've been doing

this for a long time, but especially at

the beginning, the ratio will get less.

So, say for example, at first you make a

50 videos, 49 of them suck, one of

them's good. That's common. But as you

get better and better and better,

eventually you'll make 50 videos and 40

of them are pretty good. Nine of them

are really good and one of them is

really bad, right? That's kind of the

ratio and how it's going to change over

time. So, expect to fail. Kind of learn

to like the failure because that means

you're growing and you're trying, right?

Two, you could be one product away from

finding a winner. Don't give up. If I

would have just not made a video about

this screen right here over the past

week, I would have been $1,000 less rich

or whatever you want to call it, I would

have not made that money. But because

I'm trying so many different products,

I'm not saying, "No, I sold microphones.

That's all I'm going to sell." I keep

trying to find good products that I

think will connect to my audience. I

found one and that's what it is. Number

three, the more effort you put in, the

more that you will get out of it. And

so, you should just stay consistent. And

this is the biggest piece. Don't think

that you're too old. Don't think that

you're too young, you're too skinny,

you're too fat, you're too this, you're

too that, you're not too anything. Just

make the videos, try to make them 1%

better every time. And understand that

this might be a long process. It might

take a little bit to try to figure it

out, but it is there. You know how to do

it. And if it's something that seems

like you'd want to do it, you like the

idea of making videos. Don't let this

idea of like it might not happen get in

the way because it is the biggest boom

in the entire internet that I've ever

seen. It feels like when I missed out on

posting in YouTube in like 2011 or

whatever it was because I thought it's

already too saturated. There's already

so many creators. Like this is the new

thing going on right now. And it is

never been easier because Tik Tok is

incentivized to get these videos to do

well themselves because Tik Tok wants to

compete with Amazon. So there's a bunch

of natural emphasis. There's a bunch of

natural marketing from Tik Tok itself

pushing this through. Honestly, the

hardest part is just starting. Every

single piece after that gets easier.

Making the first video. If I were you

right now as you're watching this, I

would hold up your phone. I would click

record on that camera and I would just

hit record just like I did now. And I

would just start talking to myself and

say, "This is my first video day one.

I'm going to show you guys how I do

this." I would start making videos right

away. Any average person can succeed as

a Tik Tok shop affiliate if they

consistently refine their craft. Mr.

Beast, who just became the first

billionaire under 30 who didn't inherit

his wealth, started off making Minecraft

videos on YouTube. He did not know what

he was doing. He made terrible, garbage,

bad videos and became the greatest

creator of all time that we've seen on

YouTube. You can do maybe not the same

as Mr. Beast, but you too can

consistently get better and better and

better and better. And maybe you could

be the Mr. Beast of Tik Tok shop

affiliate and be the next person that

changes your life like the people that

we talked about earlier. Now, I

literally was just an average Fortnite

streamer. I ran a music studio. I did

wedding films and music videos. Like I

was just a normal guy trying everything

I could to keep my family afloat above

water. And so I didn't know how to make

money. I didn't know what I was doing. I

was trying everything I could and

nothing worked. I failed always. So if I

can do this, you can do it, too. I made

over $6,000

from my first video as a Tik Tok shop

affiliate. And I did it by accident. I

didn't even know what Tik Tok affiliate

was. I just was streaming and was sick

of my friend's terrible microphone. And

here are my payment statements or

whatever. So you can see like the money

as it was coming in on a day-to-day

basis. It was crazy. And this can happen

for you, too. So, fast forward to now. I

made $40,000 in a single month on Tik

Tok Shop affiliate, more than I used to

make in an entire year. Even running my

businesses, I never made that type of

profit. All the money I ever made always

had to go into the business itself to

keep it afloat. There's so much overhead

that goes into typical businesses where

this I have a phone, I have Tik Tok, I

had it for free before all this stuff

anyway. There was no overhead other than

occasionally I buy some products because

I think it could do well. I know I'm I

sound riled up and I sound excited, but

it's because this genuinely changed my

life. And I know it can change your

guys', too. You just have to be willing

to get out of your way and talk about

products on an app that's free on a

device you already have in your pocket.

This opportunity is too good not to show

other people. So, I applied the skills I

learned and I helped my wife Victoria

learn Tik Tok Shop affiliate as well.

And now, fast forward 6 months later,

she's gotten millions of views and made

more than she's ever expected as well.

And now she finally feels like she found

a space where she can be herself and

make videos that she wants to make. And

not only has it given me financial

freedom, but also way more time freedom

to do the things that I love. You see,

thanks to Tik Tok Shop affiliate, I'm

able to work on my time schedule and

actually have a balanced life. I'm able

to spend time making music again like I

did for so long before I got bogged down

by the corporate world job side of

things. Thanks to Tik Tok Shop

affiliate, I'm able to most importantly

do work that I actually enjoy, something

that doesn't feel like a job to me,

something that scratches that creative

itch, and something that lets me be me

while providing for my family and

actually being able to spend time with

my family. So, if you've watched this

far into the video, you're clearly

somewhat interested in becoming a Tik

Tok shop affiliate. And I don't blame

you because this is the easiest money

that you'll ever make. And just in case

you don't believe me, not only has it

changed my life, but also Vampiro, who's

made $29,000 since joining Social Army's

Tik Tok affiliate community. If you need

to pause and read his post here, please

do. This is amazing. It is so

inspirational that he just got the news

that he's going to be a dad, got

panicked thinking about how he's going

to provide for his baby, and ended up

making $29,000.

Or Snaggy, who made almost $700 in a day

within just 6 weeks after joining. Then

there's Christian who's made over

$80,000 being in his 20s after applying

the teachings from the social army

community. You can see he says, "I

traveled to Mexico City, took a fully

paid trip thanks to TikTok, taking dad

on a Father's Day trip. Still incredibly

grateful and don't know how this is

real. Made a grand yesterday with zero

work, and so far closed $4,500 the last

three days in retainers. I wouldn't

change anything thanks to Social Army,

and I would do it all over again." Amber

Victoria has made $115,000

just last month. She wrote $114,000 in

commission, $43,000 in brand deals,

still working my full-time job, but I've

shifted my perspective on life,

traveling more with my kids, and forever

grateful. There's Fran Fran here, whose

family lost an income and made $13,000

last month. She said, "My husband lost

his federal job May 1st. I want to say

we will be okay. Thank you, Social Army,

and my backup account is no longer just

a backup." Amanda, who made $4.4,000 in

a single week, she said, "Last seven

days have been pretty good to me." and

posted a screenshot of her making

$4.4,000 in a week. Janelle, who made

$14,000

last month. These are real numbers,

guys. Look at this. Thank you. Posting

as a reminder to everyone, do not give

up. Posting as a reminder to me, it's

time to crawl out of your hole, stop

making excuses, and get back to work.

I've said, and we'll continue to say it,

Social Army is the table to get a seat

at, but when you take the seat, be ready

to learn and work hard. Like, what even

is my life right now? and a screenshot

of Tik Tok shop sending her $14,758.97.

Or all of these members making $5,000 or

more a month while working a full-time

job. All of these people were once in a

similar position to you and to me, lost,

confused about what they want to do, and

apprehensive on whether joining Social

Army's Tik Tok Shop affiliate program

would work specifically for them or not.

And I'm proud to say that every single

one of them has made their money back

and a whole lot more. And this could

very easily be you. All you have to do

is one thing. Take action. Just jump in.

Try it out. Ask yourself the question,

"Am I against giving myself this chance,

seeing if I could make it work for me,

knowing that there is nothing else out

there that has no overhead? Nothing else

out there that costs zero dollars to get

into if I want to try with the Tik Tok

shop affiliate program? Should I just

take action? Should I give it a chance?

And is there a place out there where I

can do that? But what would my advice

mean if I didn't use the Social Army

community principles myself? I made

$200,000 in one year following the exact

principles that we teach in Social Army.

Some months were more, some months were

less, but I made way more than I would

have ever made in my job or with my

businesses, doing Tik Tok shop

affiliate, making videos about products

that I genuinely enjoy from home on my

cell phone, being able to spend time

with my family. With the right mindset

and access to the right people, and the

ability to put in work on a consistent

basis, you have a huge chance to hit

that5 to $10,000 a month, maybe even

more. You could be the next success

story. The 2025 Tik Tok shop economy is

worth $ 35 billion and expected to

triple by 2030. Let me repeat that

because I don't think you understand how

big those numbers are. $35 billion right

now expected to triple by 2030. We are

still at the very beginning of this. You

can dive in and learn it at the very

start and be at the start of something

big. But guess what? There's not enough

Tik Tok shop affiliates out there to

actually satisfy the market's current

demand. Every top affiliate like myself

is getting thousands of messages a day

asking us to review their products to

work with them offering brand deals and

retainer deals. And there is not enough

affiliates in different niches. Someone

that does tech like me should not be

making thousands of dollars on videos

about a sweatshirt. But that's where

we're at because there's not enough

creators that know how to make good

videos. So the brands don't have enough

creators to go to. So, we need more

creators who can learn how to make good

quality videos so that not only can

those brands connect directly to them,

but it makes all of us more money, too.

Because if there's more creators in more

niches, then the brands can offer better

deals to the actual creators in those

specific niches. It makes it so that if

a tech brand like this wants to come and

work with someone who specializes in

tech, it's easier for them to do that

and they don't have to offer all of

these other creators money that they

know won't go anywhere. They can offer

it only to the people who they know. So

it will create market impact for them

and they can offer more money to the

people in that niche. So that could be

you. Whether you talk about kitchen

products, you talk about homegoods, you

want to talk about cleaning supplies,

you want to talk about car, automotive,

tech, whatever it is, you can do it and

we need you in this space. And it means

that there's more than enough room for a

bunch of successful Tik Tok shop

creators to market these products. So

take action and click the top link in

the description of this video if you are

serious about changing your life. very

soon the price will be increasing

because I don't want this group to

become diluted with a bunch of people

who aren't willing to actually make it

happen. So if you want access at the

lowest possible price, today is your

best bet. And very soon your ability to

ask me questions directly will be gone

because there's only one of me. So once

we hit a certain number of people, it

will be physically impossible for me to

reach out to all of you. A few days from

now, this offer might not be there

anymore. The more you wait, the more

money you are potentially losing out on.

It could be you getting paid today. So,

if you're not the one who's earning

thousands a month from this, there will

be someone else who decided to take

action instead. You can either be the

action taker who takes action and ends

up making $10,000 a month. Or you could

be the watcher, the person who just

watches others succeed, tells to

yourself that I'll do it later. I'll

start Monday. I'll figure it out some

other time. Maybe when I get a phone,

maybe when I get a place, maybe when I

this, maybe when I that. Or you could be

the person who just takes action and

doesn't look for reasons why you can't.

You look for reasons why you can. That

choice is yours. So, if you're

interested in starting and scaling your

income as a Tik Tok shop affiliate and

getting results like all of these

successful members that I've shown you,

and you are truly serious about

investing in your future, click the top
