DROPSHIPPER'S DILEMMA.... Why Amazon sellers are smarter 🏅
SPYING ON COMPETITION....

TIkTok dropped a nugget the size of a Big Mac 🍔
TikTok added a new feature that shows the Top Products being promoted on the app.

What data?
You can filter according to:
Region
Product Category
Time Period
Why you care:
Use it to budget your marketing. You can now see the advertising costs for your niche on TikTok
You can reverse engineer your competitors ad sales and costs (they can do it to you too...)
What I am doing with it:
I am cross-referencing niches on TikTok with there corresponding Amazon niche..... 'cos I want to know.... How do TikTok trends effect Amazon sales?
Expect a looong case study in the next week......
MY NEW SOFTWARE....

It's FREE for now (saved my team 20 hours per week)
So are currently running 6 TikTok campaigns
Each campaign consists of:
6 videos
5 variations
A Total of 30 TikTok briefs are needed.
What's the fastest way to start?
AI FOR THE WIN 👊
I don't mean to be an AI-fan boy.... but right now I am building 3 automated ChatGPT3 businesses.... don't sleep on it)
I built a tool that will help create the TikTok brief based on your Amazon listing (or any listing you point it to...)
DROP-SHIPPER'S DILEMMA....

Why Amazon sellers are smarter 🏅
Generation Z are smart....
'Cos they don't trust dropshippers......
They know drop-shipping is a business that can be created by any fool.... even Michelangelo (the Ninja Turtle.... not the artist **you snob**)
So TikTok includes a drop-shipper in their weekly news update, I wanted to see what the TikTok community was saying:

And when you search for them on TikTok:

And this is why drop-shippers lose out....
TikTok SEO is a thing now... it's powerful and they should make sue their best videos are indexed for the organic traffic.
Buyers Trust Amazon.... They missed out on a ton of sales. Drop-shippers don't know how to rank products on Amazon.... YOU DO... They can send highly converting traffic, but don't know how to use it on Amazon.... YOU DO 👊
LESSON THE DAY: Be scrappy like the drop shippers..... but send the traffic to Amazon or tell them how to find it on Amazon (AKA SFB 😉)
Also, what's the correct spelling of drop-shippers/dropshippers? My OCD is killling me... hit me a REPLY if you know the answer...
That's it for this week 👊
Over the next few days will send you some more case studies based on this info 👊
Thanks for reading.
