 💸 TIKTOK SHOP PRINTS MONEY

Have you seen these stats?

Let’s face it….. you are tired of seeing guru’s screenshots of their Amazon Ads:

But there is a new stat in town….. TikTok Shop metrics.

Here is a snapshot of one of my recent campaigns:

Yes, you read that right….. for every dollar spent on TikTok Shop Ads we are getting $9 - $11 back 🚀.

But here is the truth……

• This product is ideal for TikTok , so it makes ads much easier

• This is a niche that is on fire right now, by simply listing a product… you….get…..sales!

But also, TikTok Shop is severely underserved…. we are in a period with tons of buyers, not enough sellers.

This period won’t last long…. Get in before the other Amazon sellers get in (‘cos we know how Amazon sellers ruin a party…. remember incentivised reviews, SFB, rebates?).

Side note: I can’t sell on TikTok Shop because I am not a U.S. citizen, very frustrating…. kinda like helping your little brother to get the cookie jar and then he eats all the cookies 😞

💖 TIKTOK'S #1 FANS...

Gen Z Women Lead Over Men! 🚀

A 75% of Gen Z women use TikTok compared to men (62%).

I know of an Amazon seller that is doing over 8 figures on TikTok Shop…. in just 4 months 🚀 

Their product is ideal for women……they are just meeting the demand.

If you sell products ideal for women, then you should be on TikTok…. if you sell products that are great for men….. those women will likely buy it for their partner.

Either way, my point is…. YOU.SHOULD.BE.ON.TIKTOK.SHOP

🌟 ANIMATE ANYONE 🤖

Is this the end of influencers?

I won’t lie…. my biggest issue with running a TikTok agency is….

DEALING WITH INFLUENCERS 🤬 

It’s tough to work with people that complain when you call them before 12pm or have to explain what a deadline is.

That’s why I excited about AI and it’s advancements.

And now Alibaba have made a tool that is close….. it can’t replace an influencer, but wait a few months and eventually AI will be able to (demo your products, etc)

It will be a gamechanger….. I already tried a few AI tools that were supposed to create content from my videos….. it left a lot to be desired, but the future is looking good 👊

🚀 LENGTH MATTERS ON TIKTOK

Long-Form Creators Growing 5x Faster! 🎥

Get your head out of the gutter…. that is not what I meant 🤬 

Long form content grows TikTok accounts 5x faster.

‘Cos 45 seconds may not be long enough for you to explain how awesome your product is. I bet you could talk non-stop for a few minutes showcasing your brand.

Ditch the short videos and create some engaging, eye-catching videos that hook the user.

Instructional videos are ideal for this….. educate the user whilst entertaining them.

That's it for this week 👊

I have tons of case studies and tips dropping next week…. lookout for those

One last thing…. trivia time:

Thanks for reading.
