[00:00] Most of you guys think that Tik Tok shop affiliate is only available to you if you live in certain countries. Well, that is wrong. And today I'm going to show you exactly how you can start Tik Tok shop affiliate from anywhere in the

[00:12] world without having a US residency, without having a US passport, without method how you can go around it. So, let me break it down for you. So, to start

[00:24] selling products on Tik Tok US, you have to have three things in place. Number one, a Tik Tok account with 5,000 followers that was created in the US and where every single video was actually posted from the US as well. Number two

[00:39] is a US passport and number three is a US social security number. Now, this sounds extremely complicated and basically almost impossible to start let's go through every single step here. Let me start by explaining how you can

[00:57] actually get an account with 5,000 followers and then I'm going to get to how you can get around the US passport thing. So, to get a Tik Tok account with 5,000 followers, there's only two methods. Either you build it up or you

[01:09] way to get an account to 5,000 followers without buying it is by posting videos in an extremely passionate niche with follower baiting. An example of that is

[01:23] you can use AI to create a girl who loves Trump and basically says if you also love Trump follow me. >> If this offends you, good, keep scrolling. But if you love Trump, you just earned yourself a follower if you

[01:37] It's very, very simple to actually build up accounts like this. And you can just pick any passionate niche. Basically, make some sort of content in the niche Now, this usually takes a few weeks. So, in a few weeks, you're going to have an

[01:54] account which basically has the 5,000 followers. And if you want, you can do have three or four accounts. Now, if you are not in the US, you have to factory reset your phone and create the account with a VPN from the US. And always keep

[02:10] the VPN on at all times. Every time you use that phone, the VPN has to be turned on. Now, if you want a specific guide on how you set up the VPN properly, you can just DM me VPN guide on Instagram. I'm going to send it your way. After you

[02:24] Tik Tok shop. Now, if you want to have links of Tik Tok shop in your account, you actually have to apply and then add your passport and social security number

[02:36] on Tik Tok, which is tough if you don't live in the US. So the easiest way to do this is if you know someone from the US, you just ask them if you can use their passport and social security number to verify your account. Or what we have in

[02:50] hundreds of students. We just connect you with a student from the US. You just pay them $10 to $50 and then you have the account verified. All of this was method where you just buy an account which is already verified with a

[03:07] passport with a social security number and it has 5,000 followers. So, you just it's really important that you have the VPN enabled again because the account

[03:19] you want to go the pay route, we are actually selling these accounts right now. We currently only sell these accounts to people in our program. But if you DM me verified shop account on Instagram, I can set you up with that as

[03:34] well. Now you know how to get these accounts. You're going to face one more problem, which is you don't have a US bank account. Tik Tok will only pay you out onto a US bank account, which basically makes it impossible to make

[03:49] any money with Tik Tok shop affiliate if you have all the commission on Tik Tok. Here's how you get around that. You could obviously try to open up a US bank account or find a guy who you can send the money to onto a US bank account.

[04:02] somebody else to have all of your money in their bank account. The only option you have is not getting paid through Tik Tok. With Tik Tok affiliate, you're obviously working with a brand. This brand gets paid from Tik Tok because

[04:18] they have a US bank account. If you set your commission on Tik Tok to only 1% instead of 20 or 30 or 40% or which it usually is, you officially will not get

[04:30] any money from Tik Tok, but you make a deal with the brand that they pay you out whatever is left. So if you have a 30% commission deal, they pay you 29% and 1% will be stuck on TikTok forever and 1% of the money you will lose

[04:45] forever. The fee you have to pay for not living in the US. The brand can send you want. This method has two downsides and two upsides. The downside is you lose 1%. And the second one is officially the brand could scam you. You will not be

[05:02] able to go after them legally across seas if the brand just for whatever reason does not pay you even though you agreed on getting 29% from them. However, keep in mind you are making the brand money on repeat. So, usually the

[05:17] brand owner is not going to be an idiot and just scam you for the short term worth it to scam you. Now, here are the two benefits. Number one is you can actually do it. There's no other way of doing it. So, this is a massive benefit.

[05:31] to get the money. Number two is you're not going to have any issues with holds. Even if you live in the US, I would still recommend using this method. What

[05:43] of commissions, they're on TikTok, and all of the sudden your account gets banned. You will never get that money. The chance of the account getting banned is so much higher than the chance of the brand scamming you because the brand is

[05:59] super interested in paying you. Tik Tok doesn't care. And if they ban your holds and you have to wait for a long time till you get the commission payout. So this is also gone if you just have the brands send you money directly. Now

[06:14] again there is a chance that these brands will scam you which makes it a little bit scary. And this is exactly why in our program we connect you with brands that we actually trust where we know they want to make long-term money

[06:27] and we know them personally and we just connect you with them and they pay you Even though we know them, they could still scam us. Well, there's a big difference because we are sending them a lot of creators. You're not going to be

[06:41] the only affiliate who we're going to send to the brand. We are sending them a bunch of creators. So, they know they make a lot of money from us. So, if they scam one creator, they would lose 30 creators. It doesn't make any sense to

[06:53] them to actually scam us or one of our students because they know the downside is so much more significant to them. And this is what we do in the program. In the program, we will give you a product which sells really well and we also have

[07:07] negotiated deals with these brands so you actually have the highest possible commissions and then we teach you exactly how to go viral and actually trusted brands, have all the accounts set up done with us together. Just click

[07:22] figure out if we're a good fit, and then we're going to start working on your Tik Tok shop affiliate
