🌱 New to all of this? Here is what to do first.
A lot of you just joined and have never posted a TikTok Shop video. Some of you do not have an affiliate account yet. You are not behind and you did not join the wrong place.
Here is the honest order of operations.
One. Understand the model. You do not buy inventory and you do not run a store. Brands list products with a commission attached to them. You make a video, attach the product, and if somebody buys through your video you get paid a percentage of it. That is the whole thing. No money out of your pocket.
Two. Get your TikTok account into the affiliate program. This happens inside TikTok, not inside Shoppable. The requirements change and they are different depending on your country, so I am not going to quote you a number that might be wrong by the time you read this. Go into the TikTok app, look for Creator Tools and the TikTok Shop section, and see what it says for your account. If you get stuck or you get a message you do not understand, screenshot it and post it in Shoppable Help. I will look at it.
Three. Start watching what is already selling. You can do this today, before you have an account, before you post anything. Open Product Finds in here and actually read the posts. What the product is, how much it is doing, how many creators are already on it. You will start seeing the pattern before you ever hit record.
Four. Post your first video. It will probably not do much. That is normal and it is not a reason to quit. Put it in Video Feedback and we will tell you what to fix.
What you do not need right now. A ring light. A niche picked out. A business name. An LLC. A paid tool. You also do not need Shoppable. It helps a lot once you are actually posting and you want to know what to post about, but nobody in here should be buying software before they have made a video.
There are no dumb questions in this room. Post in Shoppable Help, or just say hi in Introductions and tell us where you are at.
