🔮 TikTok Spells

Bend Amazon Search Terms to Your Will!

Can I tell you a little secret?

You can use TikTok to manipulate the search terms on Amazon….

Don’t believe me?

In all our TikTok videos we have the creator say:

A few examples:

• Search Frequency Rank improves once TikTok Ads were run

• It took a few weeks to index

• Multiple keywords were indexed

Why this works:

• TikTok users will search on Amazon by default….. so we tell them how to search and find the product

• We include BRAND NAME KEYWORD to make sure the products appear on top of page 1. For example: BabiGro Baby Blankets; TopChef Garlic Press, etc

🚀 How to 10x this strategy:

• TikTok users are ‘lemmings’ (yeah, I said it)….. if they see multiple people talking about the same product, they will check it out. Create 10 influencer videos where the only common element is when they say “Search for [BRAND NAME][KEYWORD]” Then retarget everyone that watched it….. the TikTok user will find the product on Amazon out of pure curiousity as they ‘see’ so many people talking about it.

• Setup your Branded PPC campaigns. That way when they search for your product you will dominate the organic and sponsored spots.

This is an incredibly powerful strategy and it’s only a fraction of what can be done….. imagine launching a product and dictating what keywords to rank for.

You can even use it to de-rank your competitors….. but you won’t do that right 🤔.

📈 TIKTOK TRENDS FOR 2024

Measuring the Hype!

Every year TikTok publishes their Trends report.

It’s a long read and if you are going to focus on TikTok this year…. it’s invaluable.

If you are like me and you don’t want to read it, look at this:

🤔 DEJA VU

TikTok ads are as cheap as Amazon Ads from 2015

How old are you?

If you have been selling on Amazon for years…. you will have the war scars to prove it.

But you will remember a period where an expensive PPC click cost less than a coffee.

That’s exactly where we are with TikTok Shop Ads.

21x ROAS!!!! For every $1 spent on ads we are getting $21 back

Only a fraction of TikTok Shop sellers use ads and hence, it's THE cheapest platform for e-commerce ads 💰.

Maybe TikTok Shop is not ideal for your brand... maybe it is.... only way of knowing is to create some content and run ads.... within a week you will know if its a good fit for your brand.

This period won't last long..... I estimate 6 months before the masses jump in.

Don’t wait….. Start now 👊

That's it for this week 👊

But I need to ask a favour...

Thanks for reading.
