I Tried Making $1000 on TikTok in 7 Days
44sThe challenge hook of making $1000 in a week without spending money is highly engaging and relatable for those seeking side hustles.
▶ Play Clip"Title promises $1,000 but delivers $150 — a classic bait-and-switch, though the strategy itself is genuinely useful."
The creator attempts to earn $1,000 on TikTok in one week without spending on ads, using a faceless content strategy and the TikTok Shop. Despite falling short of the goal, the experiment proves that organic, simple videos can generate sales and income, offering a replicable blueprint for beginners.
Goal: go from $0 to $1,000 in one week on TikTok, faceless, no ad spend. Only income via TikTok Shop or Creator Rewards; sponsorships and TikTok Promote excluded.
In the UK, need 1,000 followers for TikTok Shop and 10,000 for Creator Rewards. Creator already had an account with 1,000 followers.
Chose vitamin D3 + K2 tablets, a top-selling health supplement on TikTok Shop, ordered from Amazon for £10.
First videos copied popular formats but got no sales. Realized many top videos were boosted by paid ads, not organic.
Used FastMoss to find top-selling products and analyze trends. Vitamin D3 + K2 had top sales in UK, 200k+ units sold, 2,500 affiliates.
Found a simple, faceless video format that was getting conversions organically. Started batch-producing similar videos.
Generated first sale (about $1.50) using the new strategy. Content takes 2 minutes to make, faceless, simple.
Added creatine, magnesium glycinate, and other products. Views and orders increased; each video took 3-4 minutes to make.
Best day so far (£15 ≈ $20) but a video was removed for community guidelines (used word 'liido'), and subsequent videos got under 5 views. Account needed time to recover.
Made £8-9 that day, total over $100 in first six days. Creator admits $1,000 in one week is unlikely but progress is solid.
After 7 days, made $150. Fell short of $1,000 but considers it a success for a new account. Confident $1,000 achievable within two months.
Target products already selling well (commission only matters if you sell). Promote products you actually use for authenticity. Organic income is pure profit.

FastMoss.
02:58
What was the final amount earned after 7 days?
$150.
09:27
Why did the creator avoid promoting certain products like lion's mane and nootropics?
For morality reasons — they only wanted to promote products they actually use.
10:35
What happened after a video was removed for community guidelines?
The account was temporarily shadowbanned; subsequent videos got under 5 views, so the creator paused posting for a day.

10:09
First Sale Achieved
Proves the faceless organic strategy can generate revenue even for a new account.
04:51Best Day: £15
Shows the potential of consistent posting; a single video hit 20,000 views.
06:01Final Total: $150
Honest disclosure of results, falling short of the $1,000 goal but still a viable side hustle.
09:27Target High-Demand Products
Key principle: commission only matters if you sell; focus on products already selling well.
10:09Authenticity Over Profit
Promoting only products you use builds trust and avoids moral conflicts.
10:35[00:02] I go from zero to $1,000 on Tik Tok in just one week without spending any money on ads and completely faceless as well I want to prove that anyone watching this video is able to make money online without any experience or needing to
[00:17] spend money the only question is did I achieve that goal on this channel I made a whole host of videos on how you can make money on Tik Tok but today I'm I'm going to see if I can go from zero to $1,000 on Tik Tok in just a week but
[00:31] there are some stipulations with this challenge I can only make money through the Tik Tok app I.E through the Tik Tok shop or creat Awards program outside sponsorships do not count and I also cannot use a Tik Tok promote feature to
[00:44] particularly hard because when I look through the Tik Tok shop analytics the best videos have been boosted by the Creator to get more views and therefore more conversions overall but I'm committed to making $11,000 without
[00:57] spending any money on ads so anyone watching can do exactly the same thing and not need any Capital to spend I live in the UK so for me to get monetized on Tik Tok I need 1,000 followers for the Tik Tok shop and 10,000 followers for
[01:10] the Creator Rewards program fortunately I have an account with 1,000 followers money but if you want to do the same thing I'd recommend checking out tick accounts link below so you can order your monetized Tik Tok pages and for our
[01:23] first product to sell we are going to use the vitamin D3 and K2 tablets as on the shop according according to fast MOS and are in the health and supplements Niche so the account is set up is in the Tik Tok shop and ready to
[01:35] go we've selected the product I guess all we have to do now is order it off Amazon and get started with shooting content 24 hours [Applause] later okay so the first product I've
[01:49] chosen to Market is here vitamin D3 tablets plus K2 now to be honest with best to go down in the Tik Tok shop through my own experience youve got things like lion main Coss I wanted to avoid those purely for Morality and
[02:04] products myself but vitamin D I do use it on the shop the product is here I've torn it open just because it looks like people going to be thinking why am I promoting something I haven't actually
[02:18] used yet so if it's torn the viewers can think okay this guy's actually used it and shooting content I did I started batch producing videos to sell the vitamin D3 tablets using the blueprint from popular videos I had seen on the
[02:31] for you page hoping to start making some sales and recoup the £10 I spent ordering the product of Amazon right so I've posted some videos on the Tik Tok shop to be honest the performance has not been great no sales right now I've
[02:45] tried to copy what's been popular before but I feel like I'm not quite executing before in the shop so it's going to take some time to get used to it and see what works but I think I've got a trick up my sleeve and that trick is fast Moss I
[02:58] to to search the top selling products on the Tik Tok shop to see whether sales are in an uptrend or a downtrend since I was struggling to make any sales on my first couple videos I must have been doing something wrong and it seems to be
[03:11] that the format of videos I was following were ads meaning creators were actually paying Tik Tok to artificially boost their views by promoting it to more people honestly when I'm looking through fast Mas this D3 plus K2
[03:24] nutrition Geeks tablets are just consistently top performing every single consistently top performing every single day I mean when you look at them right you're looking at something that has got top two sales in the UK just 100 on
[03:38] virality index and 100 on the popularity score over 200,000 units sold 2,500 Affiliates like it is just absolutely cooking a lot of the ads unfortunately
[03:50] are paid for which is not great we're looking for one that hasn't been paid for for example this one up here honestly it is so late right now but the this could be the gold mine we've been looking for because until then the
[04:03] content's taken long and it's not getting conversions this will be super simple to make and according to this guy is getting conversions so if we can make any sort of consistent income with this strategy we're on to a winner just as it
[04:16] threw me a Lifeline with what looks like a golden concept and that right there was a video I needed simple to make faceless and not a single penny spent on ads the views were all organic from the Tik Tok algorithm BOS and this account
[04:31] the next day I studied the content and started bul producing videos exactly long we had a bunch of videos ready to post it was now up to the Tik Tok algorithm to see if they went viral and made some
[04:51] gentlemen we generated the sale these bad boys have got us our first pound or dollar and a half online which is exactly what we needed to kick start perfectly I saw it generated sales on Fast Moss started implementing it myself
[05:06] and it works the best part the content takes literally 2 minutes to make it's faceless it's literally a video lapse of my wall or outside and then just some use this product anyone can start implementing it now that the concept had
[05:20] proven to work I spent the next couple of days rinsing and repeating this content strategy to pump out these faceless videos I kept up to date with and creators and decided to order creatine magnesium glycinate and another
[05:34] commission all to try and get some variation between the products I was selling the best part is the views and orders were going up and up I couldn't believe I was generating sales with this simple faceless strategy that was taking
[05:47] me literally 3 or 4 minutes to make each video morning morning it is now the start of the fourth day on our road to $1,000 on Tik Tok and yesterday was by far our best day so far in the program we made £15 which is around about $20
[06:01] which is a great return one of our videos did really well and it's above 20,000 views right now but we've had a little bit of a stinker last night I posted a video which used the word liido and Tik Tok did not like that they
[06:14] actually removed the video for Community guidelines violations which okay that's not great but I thought whatever one video is down it is what it is but the two videos we've posted since then have not got above five views so clearly
[06:27] they're not even hitting the for you page so that's a big problem so I think I'm going to give it a few hours to a day to let the account settle down not this evening or even tomorrow so it seemed as though day four after day
[06:41] three being so amazing today is going to be a little bit of a down day and we can good news I just finished recording a YouTube video for my channel that should come out in a week's time or so and I checked and the latest video uploaded
[06:54] did get above the 10 view Mark so it actually hit the 4 You page this means I can start getting views again and start converting sales so far today which is day four I've made about £4 but it's 2:00 when I'm recording this so
[07:07] barely any of the days gone by I should hopefully reach at least the £10 Mark so I can recoup some of the same gains that I got from day three now that I was out strategy of pumping out content like reps in the gym I was posting three to
[07:20] busy with multiple meetings and client calls but I knew I was sitting on the gold mine here so for the next 72 hours I just ramped up the content so I can possible before the challenge ended welcome to the morning of the
[07:35] eight right now and I've checked my phone I've made £8 £890 basically £9 a day so it looks like it's going to be a good day I've already made over $100 over these first six days do I expect to make a th000 no I'd have to make $900
[07:50] this one day but I'm still relatively happy with this progress now whatever good start for an account that's never sold any money on the Tik Tok shop for to make over $100 in the first week is not bad whatsoever of course I've got
[08:04] some expertise in Tik Tok having done it since 2022 but for the average person really start this from Ground Zero with nothing but a monetized account I just I'm going to post a couple more today maybe even three more to get four in
[08:18] Challenge I'll give my final total and my Reflections on what I could have done did so you guys know exactly what to do to make money on Tik Tok
[08:33] I've been using to find the right products to sell on Tik Tok they've already got an array of features and just underwent a new update involving a database expansion and a better optimized algorithm so we have even more
[08:46] products are selling well including related videos and related creators so sell and when to sell it like I mentioned before my favorite features products are selling well then find related video videos and see whether
[09:00] videos to have a better understanding as to what sort of videos I should be started on Fast MOS I would recommend checking out the link in the description and in the pin comment alongside my promo code
[09:13] ds202 that would give you a 15-day free trial of their Pro subscription the next morning and so here we are the seven days is up did I complete the challenge and make a $1,000 the answer is no I made $150
[09:27] after the 7 days which of course falls short of the mark But to be honest I'm with an account that had not made any money from the Tik Tok shop before to make my first $150 in 7 days is not bad at all and the way we are going with
[09:41] momentum I'd be pretty confident I can make $1,000 within the first two months so this just proves that without spending any money on ads and making simple videos every day which to be honest took me 20 minutes to 30 minutes
[09:53] phone and yes it's not life-changing money right now but with the way the Tik definitely grow and it's been proven to be a viable business model in my eyes the type of products I would promote I noticed that I had a heavy skew towards
[10:09] selling really well as shown on Fast Moss a lot of people were buying it so I think it's really important to Target products that are already selling well I commission might appeal to certain people but if that product is not
[10:22] selling well there's not really much of a chance to go into that market because commission only matters if you sell the product another big point is that from a morality standpoint I only wanted to promote products I actually use I could
[10:35] and seos but since I don't actually use those supplements I didn't feel audience but they have been really profitable for other creators and also money on ads when you look at fast MOS the best performing videos have had ads
[10:50] made profit on those ads I wanted to prove that it can be done organically without spending any money on adverts so any income generated is complete profit myself so I'm going to leave a screenshot of how much money I've made
[11:03] continue posting on it at a time of editing I'd assume it' be at least $300 show that even as just a side Hustle the Tik Tok shop can take over and if I money whatsoever to making $300 in the first two weeks I think that's a pretty
[11:19] mentorship on grown your Tik Tok pages and the Crea Wars program I'll leave below a link to my Tik Tok growth get personal mentorship from me through unlimited DMS and you get monthly
[11:33] one-on-one calls where we can set up a strategy on how you can achieve your the comments if you want me to continue this series and continue posting on this account so I can document with you guys how you can make money on Tik Tok from
