[00:01] violations to everyone in their mothers and apparently for no reason at all. I've even had a wave of people asking me recently if there's a potential solution these account bans to slow down. So, after talking to my sister who was at a [00:14] Tik Tok shop event that was specifically for some of the people who work on the Tik Tok directly, myself as well, they of people are getting and I kind of want to go over because I feel like a lot of [00:27] violations as well. So, there seems to be a very common five violations that getting you banned. So, in this video, I'm going to show you what those violations are, how to avoid them, how violations even work at all, and even [00:40] so that maybe you can win them and get them removed. So, before anything, we are and how they work. And to do that, we need to talk about how to actually actually see these violations, too. So, right now you are seeing my screen and [00:54] to your profile, go to the showcase button, and then click that Tik Tok shop you want to scroll all the way down until you get to this account health health section, it should take you to the violations tab. And first, let's [01:09] your health score. This ranges everything from zero all the way to a,000. Anything above a 200 means that your account is healthy, and you could still be at 200. That's perfectly fine. a thousand. I honestly never see people [01:23] at a thousand. So, I think roughly, you know, 200 to 500 is a pretty reasonable score. The times where you start having issues is when you are getting in the critical area all the way down to zero, which if you reach zero, you are going [01:36] to be banned. Right now, currently on my screen, I have one violation, which got me eight points, and I'm still sitting healthy above my 200. If you click on or whatever it is at the top left of your screen, if you click on that, it [01:49] different metrics and these numbers that I was just showing you a second ago. But actually showing you these violations. And right where it says violations, that see if you have any. If you have any, [02:02] talk about the violation that you got, the reason that you got it, even maybe a actually made you get that violation specifically. And then in here, it that violation if it's within a certain time window. So, if you recently got [02:16] appeal it and hopefully win. When you that you are giving them proof. And obviously, I can't show you one of these currently that I can appeal, but it will give you an option to appeal it with [02:29] way that you can prove something, whether it be photos to prove something, um whether it be some videos, even text, all that you can give them, the better. they're coming out with recently are these quizzes that you can actually [02:42] take. And right at the bottom section of that little bar right below my score, it there and you have violations, I'd highly recommend take them. Try to pass some of those points that you gathered. As you can see right here, the quiz list [02:55] because I have no quizzes I can take. But I have taken a quiz before and I passed it. And I think I actually got a couple points uh removed or or added you need to know when it comes to navigating and using the health section [03:07] of your violations. So now I want to talk about the five most common that I feel like if you just do these certain things you might be able to avoid them. And I do want to preface by saying that it is unavoidable. Tik Tok [03:19] [music] has this thing going on where and we all kind of know this to a degree but Tik Tok has this issue where they're just giving out violations to people who part of the game that we're playing with this and we have to just roll with the [03:31] punches. And as long as you, you know, follow the rules and you do the right there are circumstances where people are getting banned when they never should as long as you're following the rules and you're doing the things I'm about to [03:44] first one that I see very, very commonly, it's actually the violation this is brand comparisons. So, you can actually, you know, technically you are allowed to compare certain brands on Tik Tok shop. Now, that's actually a new [03:58] what you can and what you can't do. For example, I'm allowed to compare, you know, say Bose headphones are on Tik Tok shop and I'm promoting these Bose sound promote those perfectly fine and compare them to Sony headphones who are not on [04:12] Tik Tok shop. I can compare the two as long as I'm not trashalking the other video. For example, this is something you do not want to do. In quote, you the terrible junk shoes by Nike." calling another brand terrible and junk [04:28] actually bad for their brand and you know Tik Tok doesn't want that. So what you could say instead is in quote I like how these shoes have extra shoelaces compared to the ones by Nike. It's giving a comparison but it's giving a [04:41] very professional comparison. Now I will say that there are people that are still getting violations for comparing at all but that's not technically in the actually saying now that you are allowed to compare, but people are still getting [04:55] issues that we're kind of running into. So play that game if you want. It is very good for sales, but it is something that people are getting violations for. second most common violation that I've been seeing is fake results and filters. [05:09] So you let's say you're promoting a skincare product and you put a like Tok has these filters where you can make yourself look like you know you know clearer skin stuff like that where you use AI to create a better-l looking skin [05:23] real. That is one deceptive which is wrong and two it's false advertising which is again wrong and I think not legal. Uh and three it's just morally not want to do which is beauty filters product demos using AI generated photos. [05:39] Maybe you're like you know showing how a product regrow your hair but you used AI with a bunch of people's content. And again, like props to you for having a a it's I think it's morally incorrect. Pick a good product, use a good product, [05:53] probably, you know, gain trust and actually get more sales long term. Number three is unrealistic claims. Now, this is the most common violation that I see, or otherwise known as medical claims, which you have no right to make [06:05] any type of medical claim whatsoever. So, if you're saying certain phrases, you will actually get a violation just for saying the phrase at all. And let me loss should never come out of your mouth on a Tik Tok shot video. So an example [06:18] just this has been, you know, a year I've even gotten violation for this too is people will say in quote lose 10 lbs overnight or I lost 5 lbs or another quote is, you know, grew my hair in 2 days. Even if that's true, it is not [06:32] you can't have any kind of medical claims on Tik Tok. That basically brings where like if someone else doesn't get that same result, they can get at fault this violation like almost 2 years ago because I was promoting this, you know, [06:47] bottle and all I did was read off the bottle and I got a violation for reading off the product that was being sold on Tik Tok, which I don't think is right. of has, but it's something we got to learn. So, what we do instead is we [07:00] focus on realistic benefits and not results. If we let the viewer draw a actually does and then we show like kind of benefits of taking certain claims, it oftentimes works a little bit better. It's a very very tricky road and [07:15] supplements for this whole reason right now. But again that's just my personal which is pricing deception. For example, discount. This product is completely free. This product is 30 or it's, you [07:30] know, you know, $50." When in reality, it's $100. All of those things I just did are not allowed on Tik Tok shop because if you didn't know, that's not some of that and then they also don't detect some of that. And their job is to [07:44] try and weed that stuff out. So, when it comes to talking about prices on TikTok, and you think it's a really good price and you want to talk about that on the video, that's perfectly fine, but you need to round up and not down. And I'll [07:56] psychologically is even better. Anyway, for example, if I were talking about this phone and I was like, "Oh my gosh, this phone right now is only $100." And of it on the price listing, it's actually 50. Talk about the like [08:10] "Oh my gosh, I I was thinking it was 100 cuz the guy was talking about 100 and discount. I'm going to want to buy it." So, if you talk about rounding your for your conversions. Anyway, personally, I like to round up by like [08:24] about 10%. But I totally I vary it depending like per product. So, if I saw a product that's $25, I'll say right now I believe it's about $30. And then when shipping, they'll be like, "Oh my gosh, I was already thinking it was 30. I'm [08:36] finding a lot of success for conversions right now by doing that method. So hopefully you can take it and it helps you. And number five, this is my last I've still se I'm still seeing to this day which is crazy because uh this is a [08:49] issue that's been going on forever and that is not having the product in hand. If you don't show the physical product in real life in your hands or on your get a violation. So what you should not do is take a screenshot of the product [09:02] that this is the product you're promoting. What you should do is the product, get a free sample, whatever and showcase the real thing. A little trick that a lot of people try to do, [09:14] to do this myself as well, is we will get a vacuum cleaner, for example, that is from a different brand, but it's the same vacuum, and we will get a violation name. So, just make sure that the product you have is the same exact [09:28] to get dinged with something. Now, obviously, the higher the score that you have, the more likely you are to get better traction on your account and a little bit more views. Now, I will admit that I have seen people with almost [09:41] getting their account completely banned, but still making crazy amounts of sales. correlation, but I do think that there is something because Tik Tok openly says more suppression you're going to get. But, I have personally not seen the [09:54] direct data to prove that, especially with my own accounts. I've actually had violations, which doesn't make any sense, right? So, if that were true, I I'll just tell you right now that if you think that the violations are the thing [10:07] viral, and you've never gone viral before, I can almost promise you your are the reason that you're not having success, not the violations that are causing the issue. Now, as important as it is staying out of trouble when it [10:19] account, [music] it's only going to take you so far. You have to be promoting the right products, having the right like strategy behind what makes you good at else is doing.
