## Summary

This video provides a complete step-by-step guide to making money as a TikTok Shop affiliate, starting from zero followers. The creator shares his personal success story, methods for gaining followers, obtaining free products, and creating effective promotional content, with emphasis on consistency and live streaming.

### Key Points

- **Earnings Claims** [00:02] — Creator claims $2 million in sales from free TikTok products, with examples of friend Mike ($20k/month), mom ($23k/month), and sister ($500k in 2024).
- **Step 1: Reach 5,000 Followers** [01:22] — To join TikTok Shop affiliate program, you need 5,000 followers. Consistency and quality of posts are key; no maximum posts per day.
- **Content Method 1: Clipped Content** [02:13] — Repurpose videos from other platforms (YouTube, etc.) with edits like filters and text to avoid unoriginal detection. Example: country music videos gained 120k followers.
- **Content Method 2: Educational Content** [03:24] — Post content about hobbies or passions (e.g., military, McDonald's worker lifestyle). Also news-related content using screenshots from Google.
- **Step 2: Get Free Products** [04:45] — After acceptance, use the free sample button on TikTok Shop or message sellers directly with a script. Example: one creator sent 400 messages and got 30 products.
- **Step 3: Create Content Structure** [06:17] — Use a hook, product features, urgency, and call to action. Example video made $115k (later corrected to $155k) for a photo printer.
- **Optimal Video Length** [11:20] — Keep videos short (19-30 seconds) unless doing a detailed review. Short videos suffice to educate buyers.
- **Voiceover Strategy** [12:14] — Pose a controversial question to drive comments and boost algorithm. Example: 'Why did it take until 2025 to come up with this?'
- **Bonus: Live Streaming** [19:13] — Live streaming has higher purchase per viewer ratio due to real-time interaction. Recommended for scaling.

### Conclusion

Success in TikTok Shop affiliate marketing hinges on consistent posting, analyzing what works, and doubling down. Live streaming offers higher conversion rates and is a valuable scaling tool.

## Transcript

$2 million in sales promoting products that I get for free from Tik Tok using strategies that I have ever seen and I've actually taught this to dozens of making over10 to $20,000 every single month with their
own Tik Tok shop affiliate accounts completely changing their lives forever for example my friend Mike who's making over $20,000 a month my mom who's making over $23,000 in a single month actually heard
second month ever doing this and even my sister who made half a million dollars in just 2024 alone and listen I'm not special in this in any way neither are my friends or my family that are doing this especially my mom who never even
had the Tik Tok app before doing this which is the craziest part about all I'm active duty in the military right now and I just happen to find something that makes way more money than even the military does for me so if someone like
me or even my mom can do something like this honestly you can too so in this this video I'm going to break down every part of affiliate formula from starting your own Tik Tok account to getting the products and actually making sales with
you want and if you stay until the end I'll actually show you how you can get access to a ready to go 20,000 follower Tik Tock account that is completely can start making sales so let's get right into it step number one you need
to reach 5,000 followers to get accepted into the Tik Tock shop affiliate program now you're probably asking how do I get to 5,000 followers and honestly it's a combination of a ton of different things but the things I recommend to you first
is that you need to be posting consistently a lot of people they start this whole journey and they quit after five or six videos and it just honestly mindset that you're going to get these followers right away it is going to take
time how much time it takes is dependent on how good of quality the posts are that you make and then also how many times that you post on Tik Tok there really is no max amount of posts that you can make per day and there is no
those videos either the more that you post the more money that you make or the more followers that you get so you need to be posting posting posting now there that I recommend to people and like what
methods that I recommend the most the first one which is the one that I right now which is called clipped content and that is basically where you are going onto you know different websites like YouTube or honestly any
other platform and finding videos and recreating that content to post on Tik Tok there are tons of different types of content that you can post such as country music videos motivational content news related content it could be
literally anything even podcast footage for example the account that I use right now I actually started with country music videos I would go onto YouTube I would recreate them in a different manner so that I could post them onto
Tik Tok and I gained 120,000 followers doing that method now you do need to slightly change this content to make it unique or else Tik Tok will recognize unoriginal and then take it off the for you page so the more that you can edit
this content you know change the filters change the text on screen invert the will help you with getting this content out and actually post it on Tik Tok to get you those followers now the second method that I really like is educational
content posting something that you are passionate about if you have a hobby in you work in whatever it is is you can make educational content surrounding that type of passion or hobby that you have for example I'm currently in the
military so I could make a Tik Tok account talking about the military and the benefits or what the lifestyle is like and just honestly circling all of because I've actually seen somebody do something very similar working at
about their lifestyle and what their life is like working there showing live McDonald's making Big Macs and all these different things and people love it thrive off of that account for whatever
I've been seeing a lot of people do is news related content so they find something that's happening in the world right now and making educational content happening we actually have a member in our community doing this right now and
followers doing news related content what I really like about this method is to get this going you can just go find something on Google of what's happening in the world right now with the news screenshot that and then make a Tik Tok
you once you post that video there's a very good chance that people are going to love that video and want to come back to it later to see more content related about those are just some ways that I
but now let's get into step two so at this point you have been accepted into the Tik Tock shop affiliate program and now we need to start requesting free door so you can start making videos and
of that I highly recommend that you walk around your house and look for things that are already on Tik Tok shop to see if you can start making money on those products right now for example if you have a cur coffee machine you can make
a vacuum cleaner that is on Tik Tok shop you can start making money on that you've went through all of the products that you have laying around your house products on the Tik Tok app and there are a couple different ways that I
obviously going to be the free sample button that you will get on the Tik Tok app once you are accepted into the program this is the most common method of actually getting free samples once you have that button but it's usually a
lot harder to get that accepted when you are a beginning affiliate and that's why free sample products and that is actually going to be messaging the sellers as much as you possibly can this is where you go onto the Tik Tok app and
you message every seller that you possibly can with a pre-written script and send it to as many as you possibly can I actually know a Creator who sent over 400 messages in just one day to 400 different companies and imagine if only
30 of those companies say yes you just got 30 free products mailed to your door products you need to move to step number three which is create the content at this point we're ready to start making the videos to actually make us the money
how you make this content is actually extremely important and you can do this in tons of different ways but using your creativity is often times the best though that having a structure to your content is very very important and so
what I like to tell people is start with a hook move to the actual product features have some urgency and then a call to action at the end okay so now what I want to do is I want to run through how I made $115,000 off of this
video right here and I want to recreate it with you guys to actually show you how easy and simple these videos can be um and by the way I do teach this exact breakdowns just like this in my
community which which I will link down below um Unapologetic plug there so what we're going to do uh first you want to grab your phone so once actually before you even grab your phone get the whole setup ready so I have this product fully
set up and ready to go and what we're going to do is we're going to have it like laid out very nicely and we're going to have the photos in a nice area just like I did here um I want everything to look nice personally I
somewhere else but you guys wouldn't be able to see see me so this is how we're everything up here we're going to grab our phone so first step set everything up Second Step grab your phone you're going to go into the Tik Tok app you are
going to click the plus button at the bottom you are going to slide over to the 10 minute mark one and then if you have Ultra Zoom or wide angle Zoom uh zoom out to it actually makes the whole display and everything will look a lot
nicer if you don't have that it's perfectly fine I just recommend it um so now what we're going to do is we're going to find ways to utilize this ways and then we're going to do a voiceover at the end uh so we're not
and then we're going to do a voice over at the end so uh what I want to do my first thought when I'm filming this product and filming it nicely I want to film it in use so what problem does this product solve if this product is solving
a problem we want to showcase that problem being solved as earliest in the video as possible because that usually converts people to purchase that product um so this product it prints out photos um at home so I have this photo of my
mom and I and tons of photos I'm going to set them up in the corner and we are going to print out a photo from my phone and we're going to film that entire process and then just show other features as well uh so now we're going
to go over to the actual app that you can utilize to print photos from this thing we're going to print off a photo of my beautiful wife and uh we're going starts printing I'm going to start
filming everything so see if this actually starts printing there it goes now it should be ready to go we're going to go back to going to be different and how you utilize it this is just what I'm doing
with this product specifically but I want you to see all the little different and the lighting maybe you see how it's a lot brighter right now than it is pre because Tik Tok Shop videos are very bright very natural lighting um so we're
going to utilize that okay now that the photo is starting to print we can go back to the actual app here and start filming so we can just get tons of filming so we can just get tons of different clips really nice and
shots we're not going to use most of those uh but I just want an abundance of videos so that we can sift through them and see what we're going to actually use um so now we have the photo printed now we can get maybe another clip of me
that's pretty much what I'm doing in this actual example um in this video this actual example um in this video here so we can do one of me grabbing it that's pretty much it that's really all I can think about right now um there's
the actual phone but you guys are being filmed on a phone right now so I can't really uh utilize that I would plug in the phone right here here if I could um but I can't so I'm just going to utilize what I have here which is this and we're
going to have another one where I just basically have the photo I'm going to set it down and then point down to the link where the link would be to purchase people where to go um and then we'll do
a voice over after this and edit the video
19c long video so you don't need much time with these videos you don't need to make them minutes long it can be very very short um and I even recommend like 20 25 30 seconds Max and now if you're giving a ton of value and doing a
full-on review of the product then sure you can do longer but I like 19 seconds at that point I'm pretty much educating the person enough on the product to make an educated guess on whether or not they want to buy it or not so uh now let's do
go back to the beginning of the video and you're going to click voice and then you're click record and now we're just going to record the entire voice over and this is an important part because you need to find a way to capture
people's attention which you're doing with the visual of the product solving a problem and then you want to do with an auditory version as well which is going to be you know your your voice and what you're saying and I highly recommend
beginning of your video if you can pose a question to the audience and it be a to run to the comments and that's going to boost your video and get you more sales so I love to pose questions so I'll say like why did it take until 20
25 to come up with this and people are like they've been around for decades I like why did it take until 2025 to come up with this and everybody I got 345 comments on that video of people saying they've had these for decades and those
people saying that pushed my video and I made $155,000 off of it so um utilize mispronounce words do all these different things um I'm going to use the because it works and I'm going to pose that question so
why did it take until 2025 to come up with a photo printer that prints off photos from your phone at home see how I have some inflection it kind of just like it sounds natural but it doesn't sound salesy it's just like I'm posing a
question asking them why um and now I want to uh kind of give some features but continue that kind of storyline so let's say like we have Apache helicopters and
them this long to print off photos at home so it kind of continues that story but then reemphasizes like how how crazy it is and how nice it is to have something that can do this at home so you don't have to go to the
of retakes and tons of retakes with audio um I'll probably have to do it multiple more times here um but I've done it over 30 times in one video many many times so it it's very normal my wife loves the fact that I can
the store and these things are super cheap here on Tik Tok right now so if you guys want these I'll link it down below so the structure of that voiceover is I posed a controversial question I gave
them some reasons of why they should buy it being like hey like they it you know it prints off photos at home you don't have to go to the store or whatever uh and then I go into a price anchor so I say or create some kind of price urgency
I say and they're really cheap here on Tik Tok right now so if you guys want so now I give them a call to action at the end so controversy showcase the product in use right from the start of the video and then I go into the product
the video and then I go into the product features and then I go into um and then features and then I go into um and then I go into uh price urgency and then I do that kind of makes sense now let's click
the done button and listen to it why did it take until 2025 to come up with a photo print printer that prints off photos from your phone at home like we landing on the moon but it takes them this long to print off photos at home my
this at home instead of going to the store and these things are super cheap here on Tik Tok right now so if you guys want these I'll link it down below super cool so now let's add some text on screen you don't want to make this too
flashy for the text on screen you want to keep it very minimal very small um for this example I just have a yellow text with two lines that say Kodak pH printer what it is and then the price anchor um Tik Tok is moving away from
these prices and and percentages and stuff so I'm not going to do that for stuff so I'm not going to do that for this video um but let's say Kodak photo could just say something controversial again to kind of reemphasize people to
comment could be tons of different things um but let's just say Kodak photo printer um I'm going to make it yellow because that's the color of the product and it kind of just coincides really well and let's click next and now we
want to create a description the description can be very short and sweet going to write the same thing Kodak photo photo printer oops Kodak photo printer and
printer oops Kodak photo printer and then hash printer # photo printer # then hash printer # photo printer # photo uh and # photo uh and # home uh Home
it doesn't need to be crazy the hashtags are not going to make or break your videos and then let's edit the cover so the little thumbnails that look like your videos we're going to edit that click title or tint whatever whichever
one you want doesn't matter and I'm just going to make this look nice Kodak photo much that's why I'm not spending much time on them click save and now the most important part of this entire video you need to add the link to the product or
else you're not going to get any sales on it so the little orange shopping C that shows up on your videos you need to add that click add link product and more add that click add link product and more and then click
of this product CU they have different lines of different ones so I'm just going to do this one and let's say let's change the name to just what it is what is it it's a photo
printer click add and now our video is ready to post so we can either draft it or we can post it the posting time when you post it none of it matters I'm literally going to post this video right now with you guys um so don't hesitate
doesn't really matter um but I'm just going to post it here now with you guys just like that how and there we go so now my video is being uploaded onto my Tik Tok shop page um and it's going to post so there we go hopefully this helps
more in depth with this in my community Community um so if you guys haven't joined that 100% recommend it we do this step-by-step stuff and help you guys find these products and how to promote them as well this is a very typical
framework for a Tik Tok shop affiliate video but it's what you put inside of those actual Frameworks that make this kind of content so special more than actually make this kind of content you're probably not going to see success
for maybe even months but for me I luckily didn't have that issue I found the framework that worked for us right away I ended up finding it with my first month and made $59,000 my first month doing this I
it took her a little bit longer and on her third month she made $770,000 but it obviously works because even my friends were doing it and even my mom who made $24,000 her second month ever trying this at this point you're about a month
in let's say and you have posted say 80 videos and now is a good time that you need to look back at your content and see what is working and what's not and things that could be the product that could be the way that you promoted it
you're in who knows what it could be but you need to focus in on that thing and really double down on it at the end of the day all of this comes down to consistently posting if you are not posting you are not making money and you
please please post your content you'll down the road I do have another bonus tip for you though it is live streaming live streaming is on the up for Tik Tok shop and you can actually make money
live streaming products just like you did with videos but the amount of product purchases per viewer is so much higher for live streaming than it is on different reasons why people actually purchase more on live streams but a big
connected with the person behind the screen because it's happening in real can ask questions about the product and the person who's behind the screen can what the product is and answer their questions so that they feel more willing
