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
