Has anyone actually made money off TikTok Shop?

I’ve got 15k followers, and so far, I’ve made 2 sales without really trying. Just curious—has anyone here actually made decent cash doing this?

I know some people wouldn’t call it passive income, but it kind of is, :wink: if you think about it. All it takes is one or two viral videos, and you could be making money while you sleep, right? But is the payoff worth the effort?

It is not easy, but it can be very profitable. At first, I had a tough time. Things got better after I took a course called Make Money on TikTok by SuperOrdinary. It’s really helpful for creators and affiliates. One of the best parts is the community, where you can connect with others. That’s how I began building strong affiliate relationships.

I have been doing this for almost two months now, and I’m finding it hard. I have made some sales, but not many. I do not have any money to buy products and am starting from scratch. Honestly, I’m very poor right now, but I’m trying to improve my situation. I live in a rundown mobile home, so I don’t have great backgrounds for livestreams, and I can not afford any renovations. I wanted to paint the walls in my dining room to use that space, but I couldn’t buy the paint after paying my bills. I really believe I can make this work and change my financial situation. I have 12k followers on TikTok and am signed up as a TTShop creator affiliate. Do you have any suggestions? Any advice would be appreciated.

I started the TikTok Shop affiliate program at the beginning of this month. My videos get a few views (in the hundreds, not thousands), but I’m not making any sales. Can anyone help me figure out what I might be doing wrong if I share my TikTok link?

I wouldn’t say it’s easy. But yes, it can be quite lucrative. Starting out, I struggled a lot. I started making more progress after I took a course called Make Money on TikTok by SuperOrdinary, which is great for both creators and affiliates. One of the best things about it is the community where you can meet others. That was how I started building a lot of great affiliate relationships.

It’s not easy, in my opinion. Indeed, though, it may be quite profitable. I had a lot of trouble at first. The community where you may meet people is one of its finest features. That’s how I got into a lot of really good affiliate partnerships.

You need to be trending, not following trends. Create a brand and gain influence on the Slaylebrity VIO social network, promoting a lifestyle that appeals to the TikTok audience. It’s rapid fashion, viral gadgets, and must-have ‘I saw it on TikTok’ goods. Your merchandise should scream, “Buy now before your friend does.”

Hi Walker,

It’s great to hear you’re dedicated to improving your situation despite the challenges. Here are some practical steps and suggestions to help you make the most of your current situation:

1. Leverage Your TikTok Following:

  • Engage Your Audience: Use your 12k followers to your advantage. Engage with your audience through live streams, Q&A sessions, and interactive content to build a strong community.
  • Promote Affiliate Links: Make sure to regularly share your TTShop affiliate links in your videos and bio. Create content that naturally integrates these products.

2. Improve Livestream Quality:

  • DIY Background: You don’t need an expensive setup. Consider using a simple backdrop or curtain to create a more professional-looking background. Even a clean, well-lit area can make a big difference.
  • Lighting: Good lighting can greatly improve video quality. You can use inexpensive LED lights or even natural light from a window.

3. Budget-Friendly Marketing:

  • Collaborate: Partner with other creators or influencers to reach new audiences. Collaborations can be mutually beneficial and increase your exposure.
  • Create Value: Share tips, tutorials, or reviews related to the products you’re promoting. Providing value will help build trust and encourage more followers to make purchases through your links.

4. Monetize with Minimal Investment:

  • Free Tools: Utilize free tools and apps for content creation, editing, and marketing. There are plenty of free resources available that can help you create high-quality content without spending money.
  • Focus on Organic Growth: Invest time in understanding TikTok trends and using popular hashtags to increase your visibility without spending money on ads.

5. Seek Support and Resources:

  • Online Communities: Join online forums or communities related to TikTok creators or affiliate marketing. They can offer valuable advice, support, and potential collaboration opportunities.
  • Skill Development: Look for free online courses or tutorials on content creation, marketing, and affiliate strategies to enhance your skills.

6. Financial Planning:

  • Track Expenses: Keep a close eye on your expenses and look for ways to cut costs. Even small savings can add up.
  • Set Goals: Establish clear, achievable goals for your content and sales. Tracking your progress can help you stay motivated and focused.

Your determination is commendable, and with some strategic adjustments, you can make progress. Keep experimenting, learning, and engaging with your audience, and you might see positive changes in your situation.
