how to master Tik Tok shop affiliate to start making money with it as a beginner we're going to break down everything that you need to know from A to Z by the what to do in terms of how to pick the winning products how to create viral Tik
Tok videos and most importantly how to generate sales and commissions as a Tik that we are going to cover how to make Tik Tok Shop videos that get views there are four basic elements to it what makes a product go viral how Define winning
products the five different video styles that work extremely well and also we're going to talk about the common mistakes to avoid so all the topics are time stamped in the description down below so if there's a specific topic that you
jump ahead but if you're brand new to Tik Tok shop affiliate I definitely all the way through before you jump around so without further Ado let's get first time you're hearing about Tik Tok shop affiliate let's talk about how it
actually worked so the process is really simple you simply talk about a product inside of your Tik Tok video if someone watches your video and decides to buy the product then you will earn a commission for each sale the process is
that simple and one of the best part about this model is that you don't need to hold any inventory or provide any customer service the seller of those products will be responsible to do all of that so your main job as affiliate is
to create engaging Tik Tok videos that people want to watch and then buy the commission that you can earn is dependent on each product so each product is different typically it ranges from 10 to 30% but then again it could
be lower or higher than this all dependent on the product so next let's talk about how to make Tik Tok shop affiliate videos that actually get views so this is the one most important aspect to master because if you can make videos
that get views you will make money with Tik Tok shop affiliate that is the one common threat amongst all successful Tik Tok shop affiliate creators it's the ability to create good videos and there are four basic elements that you can
master and here are the four elements that you can Master to create Tik Tok Shop videos that has the potential to go viral and when you look at the most successful Tik Tok videos they almost always have one or more of these
elements inside of their videos the first one is to master the hook they always have a strong hook to captures the audience attention the next one is audience retention they try to retain the viewers attention for as long as
possible and then we have controversy now controversy is effective because it encourages the viewers to engage with the video and last lastly we have call to action most of these successful videos have a very strong call to action
to direct the viewers on how to purchase the product so next we are going to learn the Frameworks and then apply the same Frameworks into our own videos the first element is Master the hook now the purpose of the hook is to be able to
someone scrolling on Tik Tok one after another what will actually make them stop the scroll and watch your video now the hook is crucial to captures viewers part of your video because if you think about it if you are not able to capture
viewers attention they won't even have the chance to watch the rest of your video so a strong hook significantly increases the chances of a video going viral and you could do it by two types of hooks either by a audible hook or a
visual hook or both at the same time now let's first talk about the audible hook now an effective way to do an audible Hook is to call out a specific audience and it's useful to use the word you now using the word you is effective because
the viewers will feel like they are being addressed for example you can say school then you need to listen up another effective element to add to the audible Hook is to introduce a problem so for example you can say something
like if you sit a lot during the day and have back pain so having the back pain introducing so if someone do it a lot during the day and have back pain those to it and would have a high chance to want to watch your video so let's look
at an actual example if you're still using using one of these to clean your using using one of these to clean your pool you're probably having a rough time you're still using one of these to clean
time so he called out a broad audience and also introduced the problem and he also did like a slight zoom in here in the beginning to put the product in frame so he actually combined both the audible Hook and the visual hook and
audible Hook and the visual hook and this video has gotten over 269,000 views and generated over $66,000 in Revenue in the past 30 days so it did really well of using the word you and introducing the problem and offering the product as
a solution and this video has gotten over 3 million views and sold over $90,000 in Revenue in the last 30 days so in profit this is about $9,000 and that if you're gaining weight especially in the midsection you're always tired
you do fall asleep you can't stay asleep which is the important part if you have a constant craving for sugar or sweets or have a hump on your neck maybe you've been getting emotional over everything lately even the littlest things you're
chances are you have high levels of cortisol which can be linked to a deficiency in vitamin D this is vitamin D3 and K2 by the very popular brand micro ingredients so in the beginning she basically just said did you know
that if you're gaining weight especially in the midsection if you're always tired and can fall asleep right listing all the symptoms and eventually she would just present the product as a solution so this is a effective hook and video
format now calling out a specific audience and introducing a problem to them is often effective because it evokes emotions now the emotions could be curiosity it could be Intrigue desire it could be fear it could be fomo fear
missing out so when you're speaking to a specific audience and you can introduce a problem that is relevant to them that is often very effective now for the audible hook it could also be some type of sound effects for example it could
use something that is unusual that interrupts the usual scrolling pattern and next we're going to talk about visual hook this is something unusual ey catching such as any unique visual that you could incorporate into your videos
any bright colors or camera angles it could be a zoom in or camera movement it could be text on screen let me show you an example of an unusual image that triggers Intrigue and curiosity as the emotion and it's a product that solves
the problem so here is the video that we are going to look at in the last 7 days it has gotten over 7 million views and generated over $53,000 so in the past 7 days this is over $115,000 in profit in just one
video this this viral Korean face mask really worth all the hype I'm a who's reviewed this mask I actually went full on science nerd and measured real when I tried it on my recent flight back from Korea so right in the beginning
this is a visual hook just him putting on the face mask it's kind of unusual if you're scrolling that kind of captured my attention and the visual Hook is that he asked question is this viral Korean face mask really work all the hype so
that evokes some type of curiosity and intrigued like you know I really want to know if this works so this worked really well because he combined both Visual and also audible hook and he also put the text on the screen here so that kind of
added to the visual Hook by having the text on screen so all these things kind of all work together to make you want to watch the rest of the video next let's take a look at another example of a visual hook because this is an amazing
example of a visual hook because this Creator didn't even speak in the video and it has over 50 million views this Creator utilized an unusual image plus intrig and it's also a product that solves a problem so as you can see here
in the last 30 days this video has gotten over 56 million views and generated over $276,000 in Revenue
rest of the video she just demonstrated how to use the product and this product is a hair identifier spray so as you can see in the beginning kind of captur unusual and I was thinking what is this
intriguing so that kind of captured my attention and you can see how she was using the product so that's definitely an effective visual hook that helped captures people's attention and I'll show you one more good example of mixing
a visual hook and also a audible hook of unusual sound in the beginning so my best friend's daughter is about to so that was literally the seconds just her unpeeling the face mask and then she also added an unusual sound
and this specific video has gotten over 1.2 million views and generated over $83,000 in Revenue so something like that could potentially work really well audible hook or visual hook remember to just be authentic start the video
immediately with the hook there shouldn't be any pauses in the beginning focus on engaging the viewer within the first few seconds because the first few seconds is all you have to capture the attention and it's always useful to
study and replicate other creators effective hooks from the viral videos don't copy the hook exactly like word by word but you can definitely take own elements to it and then make it your own so next we're going to talk about
to hook the viewers your next step is to get them to watch your video for as long as possible so here are the four basic retention so number one you could utilize zoom in or zoom out so you can
zoom in to emphasize certain key points or to make sure that the product you're promoting is in frame and next one is you could add text so we definitely saw we saw because some people don't have sound on when they're watching Tik toks
and even when they do have sound on having text on screen can help hold attention easier and next one is to demonstrate value don't just say it but actually show it so we definitely saw this in some of the examples before you
want to demonstrate the benefits of the product and not just like talk about it but actually like do it and show the audience and the last one is to use hand gestures and we are going to talk more about this in the C action section but
the purpose of this is to be able to guide the audience attention to certain describing on screen it's very effective when it comes down to guiding your audience attention so next we're going to talk about controversy so if you
videos it will be very effective in terms of helping your video go viral because it encourages engagement and the more people actually engage with your video like they like it or comment it only helps your chance of your video
going more viral so here are the four ways that you could use to incorporate more controversy so a lot of creators like to purposely use misspelled words in their text on screen just to encourage more people that will comment
on the videos another way is to mispronounce certain words on purpose that is also very effective next is to give an unpopular opinions on certain topics it's always effective when you invite civilized debate or you could use
any interesting or uncommon visuals that will basically get people to comment more on your videos and here's something to remember remember not to be rude because that's not the type of controversies that we want in our videos
because ultimately that won't lead to any sales so the last element that we're action so the purpose of the call to action is to try to create some type of urgency you want to try to make the viewer to feel a sense of urgency so
buy immediately you want to make them feel that they don't want to miss out and they want to take action right away so this can be achieved in a few ways so number one is to try to promote any limited time sales so when you promote
anything that's on a flash sales that's when prices are significantly reduced for like a period of time you see that a lot definitely on Tik Tok and you can products might run out of stock so that could give the viewers a sense of
scarcity you can indicate that the product is going viral and may soon sell out and a very effective way to try to direct your viewers to purchase the product is to just use visual cues you could point to the product link with
your hand or you could use like an arrow to kind of just direct the viewers attention on exactly how to purchase so let's look at a couple examples why did nobody tell me these things were literally on sale and you can get them
in1 retractable car charger that charges the call to action in the beginning but he basically just said why did nobody sale and you can get them with free shipping so you don't need to complicate
definitely work really well so this is another example of the sale tactic so this is the craziest sale I've ever seen on Tik Tok so that is the title of the video and this video has gotten over 1.8 million views and generated over
$114,000 in Revenue guys cows are completely messed up right now you can get an ice maker for $22 with free shipping there's currently a spring sale going on but you get an extra 50% off if you're a new
customer which means if you've never bought in an ice maker before you'll get $22 guys make sure to get it right now before they realize how cheap they made it so that was the very simple 20 second video just highlighted the sale price
plus free shipping add it in a screenshot and just directed people how to purchase so again something simple like this could work really well well so next we're going to talk about what makes a product go viral so the number
one factor I would say is that the product solves a problem because people something if it solves a problem for them secondly If the product has a wild Factor something unique that you don't easily find in stores this I wouldn't
say it's a must but it definitely helps when it has something that's unique about it next is that it's visually appealing something that just stands out if a product has let's say a different colors definitely I would recommend
stands out more it will definitely help you stop the scroll a little bit better because it is more eye-catching the next one is that it is a impulse purchase so because if it's a product that doesn't require too much thinking or
consideration before purchasing it will definitely help with conversions so I recommend you to choose a product that doesn't have a price that's too high preferably anywhere between $10 to $50 because the cheaper the product is the
more likely that people will buy without having to think too much about it and the last one is that it has to have plenty in stock preferably at least 1,000 units available from the seller now it's important to ensure that the
product that you plan to sell has plenty in stock because then if your video somewhat goes viral then you won't lose on any potential sales so that is I'm going to show you how to find winning products by using a tool called
C data so this is the tool that many of the successful Tik Tock shop creators I know use it's amazing research tool it just makes everything so much easier bestselling products and also like the best performing videos so for example if
we were to just click on one we're able to just click on this one and then it will tell you the stats of this video how many views it got how many Revenue that this video has generated and when you come down here it will also show you
the other creators who are creating the content for the specific product that are also doing well so for example these are all different creators creating content for this same product and you can see the amount of views that they
got for each video and also how much revenue that each video generated take a look at this one so this product is an electric shaver and this specific video has generated 3.4 million views in the past 30 days and it generated more than
$194,000 in Revenue so this give a tick is about $1 19 to $220,000 in profit and to see the video you can just hover over here and they will show you the video or you can just click on it just know that your kitty kitty thing thing is crying
disposable razors everyone knows disposable razors are terrible for your skin and you have the option to download this video without any watermarks or you could export this script by just clicking here and then the exact script
of the video will be exported and as you can see here the script is generated in just a few minutes and then you can copy this and then paste it onto like a Word document and then you can modify it any way you want or you could use the AI
option here to optimize it so you can just click on this and let's say we want just click on this and let's say we want to reward the script can you reward the script and just hit enter and then the AI will get to work and then reward the
script for you so here we have a reward version of the script so let's come back to the main page here and I'll show you exactly how to find potential winning products we can come to the product tab so let's go to the last seven days and
hit submit so here we are seeing the last seven days result I think that's just better because it's more recent so here we are looking at the bestselling products in the entire Tik Tok shop Marketplace we see the different
products here in this column the number of item sold the amount of Revenue that was generated and I believe right now is sorted by the most item sold so if you want to sort by the most Revenue we could do that as well and also we could
see this approximate Revenue Trend in this given period and again if you want you can just hover over the thumbnail and they'll show you exactly what those videos are so what I like to do is to not go for any of these bestselling
items because number one they are already more saturated many people may have already seen these items and they have either purchased them or decided not to purchase and also these items I think tend to have more creators
creating videos for them so it's also more saturated on the creative side this but they could definitely still work if they're still trending so there's not one right or wrong way to go about this it's just what I personally
prefer so I think it's a better strategy to try try to find products that have not totally blown up yet but are still getting sales on a consistent basis so those would be like the hidden gems so how we are going to do that is to
utilize the filters on the left hand side you can select the category of products that you sell in if you have a specific Niche that you sell in for this example I would just leave it as is so we can just see a broader result and
then for the revenue filter I like to pick 1K to 10K so that would indicate meaningful sales but not yet overly saturated the revenue Source I like to pick video because that's what I focus on and the revenue Trend I like to
select growing so that it has a growing Trend and then for the average unit price I like to let's say set this at 15 to let's say 75 and as we talked about the unit price when it's too high it's less likely that
it could be a impulse purchase and when the price is too low then you won't be able to earn much commission so I think 15 to 75 approximately would be a good range so we can click apply and then we can click submit so here we have the
result so when you look at the product I'd like to just take a quick glance I'd like the trend so this seems like has already gone up quite a bit so something like this is more appealing to me because it's like growing steadily so
you can just browse around to see what catches your eyes so something like this is appealing to me in terms of the product Trend and you can see the number of items sold and then the revenue that has generated at it and then we can just
click on one and see if this would be a possible winning product so you can see a healthy Trend going upward a bit and then you can see the actual Tik Tok product link here so this is a travel siiz body and hair fragrance mist and
then we can come down here and see the exact creators that are creating content for this product and also the exact videos that were created for this product so this specific video generated about $3,000 in Revenue based on almost
8,000 views so that seems seems like a very healthy ratio and that's the number of items sold so something like this could possibly have potential if you want to try this tool I have a direct link listed down in the description if
you use my code Kumo kuo you will get an extra 10% off and then you can come back out here and look at the other search results and based on what you resonate with and also what meets the winning product criteria that we talked about to
narrow down the potential winners so this is how you would find winning products using C data so next let's talk talk about how to get the products so there are basically two main ways so the first way is to try to get free samples
you can directly request on the TCT Tock app there's a button that you could request for a free sample under the product listing or you could directly message the seller of that product and the other way is to answer any collab
invite that you may receive so if they want to collaborate with you they have the option to send you a collab invite and then you can just accept and then be last option is to use your point points
so it's like a points reward system that the Tik Tok shop has set up where they will allow you to exchange your points to get free samples of different products and the next option is to Simply buy the product so if you're just
starting you could just start small order like one or two products and once that you can create good content for your products then it becomes much easier to talk to the sellers to get free samples at that point and when you
buy the product you could either buy it from the Tik Tok shop itself or you could purchase on Amazon so the benefit of purchasing on the Tik Tok shop is usually you get a more competitive price but then you need to wait a few more
days for shipping typically and when you purchase on Amazon you want to make sure that it is the same exact seller that it is on Amazon and that it is the same and the benefit of purchasing from Amazon is that usually you can get
faster shipping so that you could have the product in hand faster to create content on but the downside is usually the pricing on Amazon will be a little bit high so next I'm going to talk about the five different video styles that
different styles of videos that you can make and I'll show you examples of each one so the first popular one is the problem and solution video they do extremely well on Tik Tok and then we have product demonstration comparison
videos text on screen and also comment replies so first let's talk about the actually saw a couple of these already but to break it down further this is the four-step framework work first you want to use the hook to describe the problem
and then you want to offer the product as a solution you want to talk about the best features about the product and then lastly you want to give a strong call to action so let's take a look at an example so this is a product and
solution video sweat at night but you still want a still want a blanket this is so cold come F this you it for feel how cold this is wow it's soft too that is so
cold holy moly like Let It lay on you for a second moly like Let It lay on you for a second hang
on oh and it's so soft look feel this like it's so cool I'm so excited this thing is awesome so here in the beginning she presented the problem a blanket and then she proceeded to present the product as the solution to
the problem so this video did really well 5.9 million views over $163,000 sold so this framework is extremely effective so next we're going to talk about the product demonstration video so this style of video is super
straightforward you simply demonstrate how the product works and show how effective it is so here is an example of the product demonstration okay so apparently I don't clean my pool enough and I just got this new ier cor this
robotic pool cleaner and I'm going to put it to the test so here we go just press and hold the button it
beeps set her down in the water just like so oh works good though Look at Her
battery lasts for up to 90 minutes and it'll clean up to 850 Square ft all about 45 minutes this is what the pool looks like like now but all in all this one grab you one right there in the link below so that was a super simple video
just show how effective the product is show the process talked about a couple good features about the product and then showed the results so that's pretty convincing for someone that's watching and want to do the same thing and then
he gave a call to action at the end using the hand gesture to point into the product link so overall great video and it got 8.93 million views and sold more it got 8.93 million views and sold more than $17 ,000 of product so the next
style of video that you could create is the comparison video so this is when you compare side to side to show the more Superior product and when you do this it is best not to show any trademarked logos because when you show any
violation so you definitely don't want to do that let me show you an example test them out this is the new viral wise vacuum and this is the more well-known vacuum and this is the more well-known brand that I normally use here we go
brand that I normally use here we go [Music]
basically just to compare the product side by side to show that the product that he's promoting is a better product makes it seem like it's a no-brainer for the beginning notice how he didn't mention any specific brand name he only
puts like highend so that is a smart thing to do because you don't want to mention any name that is trademarked or you don't want to show any logos that are trademarked and when you want to compare to like a well-known brand this
is what you can do and then the next di of video that you can make is text on screen so these are typically very short typically less than 10 seconds or so and they are the easiest to make so to make it effective you want to make sure that
the video evokes some type of emotion you want to make it relatable and then you just want to showcase the product so let's see an example let's take a
look and that was it that was a 7 Seconds video in total just her working out about four to five different shots and then just added the text on screen point of view you start wondering if it works and start doing the work to make
it work so this video did really well 1.35 million views and more than $108,000 in sales so that's not bad for a 7 second video and the last type of really well is comment replies so you
people's comments and when you look at many successful Tik Tok Shop videos these are some of the most viral type of content for many creators so here is an example of a comment reply video I'm not going to lie the first 20 minutes of
this it's slippery it slides off I was just in the kitchen for a second and this slipped off my face you need to like stay still for about 45 minutes and after that it becomes one with your skin and then wait till you see what happens
after 2 hours when I'm going to go to sleep so as you can see this is a video just based on someone commented on her video Someone said no way this day is well enough to sleep LOL and then she literally just responded to it and
obviously you know gave a really good reply and this video has gotten over 6.43 million views over $265,000 sold just by replying to a comment so this is definitely really effective and what you look at other
successful Tik Tok Shop videos many of them are actually comment replies just replying to people and somehow Tik Tok seem to push those videos really hard most of the time so you definitely want to take advantage of those opportunities
when you can make comment replies videos so that is all for this tutorial I hope from this please like the video and subscribe to the channel and if you have any questions feel free to drop me a comment below and until next time see
comment below and until next time see you in the next one
