AI Summary

This video provides a step-by-step guide for beginners with zero followers to become a TikTok Shop Affiliate. It covers using an aged account, creating a specific type of video to gain followers, and running targeted ads to reach the required 5,000 followers quickly.

[00:01]
Requirement for Aged Account

You need an account older than 3 months with no previous devices logged in, and only one device on that account. This avoids issues with TikTok's Shop Affiliate Program acceptance.

[00:40]
Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for TikTok Shop, your account must be at least 3 months old, have 5,000 followers, follow community guidelines, and pass account checks.

[01:05]
Video Strategy to Gain Followers

Create a video explaining you want to be a TikTok Shop Affiliate but lack followers, asking for support. Use a 7-second video with text overlay saying 'Who's with me?' and hashtags #teamwork and #followback.

[02:23]
Running Ads to Boost Followers

Go to ads.tiktok.com, create an ad with goal 'Follow', set budget to $20/day, launch at midnight. Target all countries except South Korea. Use the video as creative asset, set ad period to 7 days.

[03:41]
Expected Results

After setting up the ad, wait for midnight to start. Followers should start coming in. The process helped a student make $17,000 in a month and another $20,000.

By following this exact process—using an aged account, creating a support-seeking video, and running targeted ads—you can quickly reach 5,000 followers and start earning as a TikTok Shop Affiliate.
