  • 💰 The Creator Secret 99% of Amazon Sellers Are Missing

💰 The Creator Secret 99% of Amazon Sellers Are Missing

2025 is the year of social commerce

But you have one very big problem…..

Finding good creators is a nightmare, managing them is chaos, and getting consistent, high-converting content feels impossible.

That's where Insense changes the game.

Think of it as your entire creative department in one place:

  • 68,500+ pre-vetted creators (not random influencers who bought followers)

  • Conversion-focused briefs that actually deliver what you need

  • Direct communication that cuts the back-and-forth nightmare

  • Data-driven matching that finds creators who convert for YOUR specific niche

In an era where ad costs keep climbing, your creative is the only lever you can pull to dramatically improve performance. Insense isn't just another tool—it's your unfair advantage.

Let's dive deeper into exactly how it works and why it's changing the game for eCommerce sellers who need high-converting content without the headaches.

My relationship with Insense

Illustration Text GIF by Jacqueline Jing Lin

Everyone has that 'partner' in their life.....

You know, the type that's always there for you:

  • Even when you avoid them, they welcome you back

  • Even when you cheat with shiny new platforms, they take you back

  • When others let you down, they never do

That's my relationship with Insense.

I've ghosted them for newer, flashier platforms. I've tried DIY content to save a few bucks. I've been seduced by the empty promises of cheaper marketplaces.

Every. Single. Time. I come crawling back.

You. Need. Insense.

🤯 The Brutal Truth About TikTok Shop Affiliates

Here's the cold hard data that nobody wants to admit….. Managing Affiliates/creators is near impossible:

  • In March alone, we messaged 80,744 TikTok Shop affiliates on the TikTok platform

  • Only 3,924 even bothered to reply (that's a pathetic 4.86% response rate)

  • Of the 500 samples we ship monthly, about 450 NEVER generate more than $1 in sales

The affiliate outreach game on TikTok Shop has become a numbers game that nobody can win.

Most affiliates get dozens of free sample requests daily..... they've become so entitled they can't even be bothered to READ YOUR BRIEF.

And we've all seen the quality of content they produce..... 💩

👑 Enter Insense: The Hidden Weapon Every Amazon Seller Needs

We created a campaign on Insense and messaged 240 creators.

The response rate? Nearly 100%.

I literally couldn't keep up with the replies coming in.

These aren't just any creators either – they actually know how to make GOOD content without constant hand-holding.

The difference is night and day:

  • TikTok Shop: Spray and pray with hundreds of affiliates

  • Insense: Targeted approach with professional creators who actually deliver

⚙️ The Most Powerful Campaign Types You Can Run

Insense lets you set up campaigns that actually WORK:

  1. UGC Content Creation - Get professional-grade content for ALL your marketing channels

  2. Influencer Posts - Leverage their audiences across multiple platforms

  3. Product Seeding - Send products in exchange for REAL reviews (not the garbage most affiliates produce)

  4. Whitelisted Ads - Run paid ads under creators' handles (genius for social proof)

  5. TikTok Spark Ads - Turn organic content into paid ads that actually convert

  6. Affiliate Marketing - Commission-based partnerships with people who can actually drive sales

But the TRUE ninja move? Utilizing these creators across BOTH Amazon and TikTok....

💰 The Amazon-TikTok Strategy Nobody's Talking About

This strategy alone is worth the price of admission.

Insense creators can purchase your products on Amazon, create content, AND get reimbursed.

Think about what this means:

  • Instant sales boost on Amazon (helping your BSR and organic ranking and even reviews)

  • Professional content created for TikTok Shop

  • Usable assets for Amazon Posts, A+ Content, and listing media

  • ACTUAL REVIEWS from verified purchases if you ask them to leave a review

TikTok Shop tried to copy this with their "Refundable Samples" feature..... but when your affiliates ghost you 95% of the time and create terrible content, what's the point?

💸 The Real Cost

90 Day Fiance Money GIF by TLC

Amazon sellers are flooding into TikTok Shop expecting instant results. Then reality hits them like a freight train:

  • It's expensive AF (sending free samples is a money pit)

  • Results take time (like 4-6 months minimum)

  • The platform is RUTHLESS with zero safety nets

Most brands bail after 2 months of bleeding cash with little to show for it.

But here's the kicker.....

Two of our clients who stuck around went from making $2K/month to $150K/month. That's not a typo. One. Hundred. Fifty. Thousand. Dollars. PER MONTH.

The difference? They understood the costs.

That’s where Insense comes in:

  • Starts at $500/month platform access

  • Starts at $1,600/month for their managed service

That may sound expensive, but bear the following in mind:

  • It is cheaper to hire the Insense team than manage it in-house

  • If you choose to do it in-house, is your team as experienced as the Insense team? I doubt it.

  • Some creators will need an upfront payment….. but this is negotiable

Most importantly, hire the pro’s!!

If you choose to do it yourself or your own team you will always wonder ‘did we do everything we could have? Could we have better results?

That question will always plague you 🤬.

How to use Insense

  1. Start with Research

Start with the TikTok Creative Centre…. It’s a free resource that details all the trending products on TikTok Shop.

Even if you are not on TikTok Shop, use it to look at your niche to find what videos are trending. These videos are the videos you will use to create your brief.

  1. Decide on the type of campaign

I only care for ‘Conversions & Sales’…. it’s my default option.

  1. Run an omni-channel approach

Get the creators to buy on Amazon and then create content for TikTok Shop AND Amazon.

Using the reimbursement feature, you can trust the creators to buy on Amazon and if you wish, even leave a review.

Or you can ship it to them… the choice is yours (but I always try to get them to purchase)

  1. Create the campaign and Respond to the creators…….then sit back

Once the brief and campaign have been created, simply create a list of creators and contact them.

Wait for them to reply and you are off to the races.

🔥 The Bottom Line

Look, I've been in this game a long time.

I've ghosted Insense for newer, flashier platforms. I've tried DIY content to save a few bucks. I've been seduced by the empty promises of cheaper marketplaces.

Every. Single. Time. I come crawling back.

In an era where ad costs keep climbing, your creative is the only lever you can pull to dramatically improve performance. Insense isn't just another tool—it's your unfair advantage.

The window of opportunity for TikTok Shop dominance is closing fast. The platforms are getting saturated. The affiliate programs are getting squeezed.

The real winners will be the sellers who solve the content creation problem NOW.

Your competition is already figuring this out.

What are you waiting for?
