Stop losing money on TikTok Shop by giving everyone the exact same commission rate
Most brand managers bleed margin by blasting generic offers to anyone with a pulse, but scaling profitably requires treating creators like a highly targeted, tiered sales force.
→ Shop Plan: Think of this as your baseline fail-safe across your entire catalog, ensuring you still capture revenue from unexpected viral moments when a creator buys a product organically and decides to post.
→ Open Plan: Use this as your broad discovery engine with a competitive public rate (around 15-20%), but set strict auto-approval thresholds based on a creator's past GMV to automatically filter out sample-hoarders.
→ Targeted Plan: This should be your primary revenue driver where you proactively DM proven converters with custom VIP bounties (25-30%) to lock them in and steal their bandwidth from competitors.
→ Sample Strategy: Treat samples as a strict monthly budget rather than an open tap; offer upfront free products only to proven winners and use refunded samples for unproven long-tail creators.
The sellers dominating their categories right now are intentionally sacrificing initial margin on Targeted Plans because they know high sales velocity forces the algorithm to push their products organically to the broader "For You" page.
