The TikTok Shop Hack Amazon Sellers Are Missing 🤫
TikTok Shop's Evolution:
What Amazon Sellers NEED to Know 🚀

TikTok Shop just changed the game... AGAIN. We serviced 60+ shops in 2024 and watched most crash and burn due to budget constraints.
The "spray and pray" approach is officially DEAD.
Sending mountains of free samples to random affiliates only works if you're sitting on a pile of cash (and let's be real, who is?).
But there is still money to be made!!!!

The Cold Hard Truth About Affiliates 🥶

TikTok's own reps admit less than 1% of affiliates reply to DMs. That's not a typo... ONE PERCENT 🤬.
We track all our messages and we have 0.52% reply rate….. affiliates just don’t reply.

It’s like being ‘ghosted’ by the popular crowd in high school 😞
And now TikTok's squeezing the life out of your outreach with new limitations.
You can only reach out to affiliates according to your revenue in the past 30 days:

Higher sales equals more affiliate contacts, but the unlimited days are over.

The Smart Seller's Survival Guide 👊

You NEED a hybrid approach to survive.
In a nutshell, these are the action steps:
Obtain Content for free samples
Be selective!
Giving samples to affiliates is the cheapest method to obtain content
But do not expect the affiliates to create ‘amazing’ content….. they did get it for free….. if the affiliate creates awesome content; lock them down, get their contact details, form a working relationship with them……
Paid content creation (you get what you pay for)
Expect to pay $50 - $200 per video
As you are paying affiliates/creators, the content is better, but no guarantee it will convert into sales
Higher commission rates to stand out
If you want to get more attention from affiliates, offer a higher commission rate
Building a stable of reliable affiliates on retainer
This is the cheat code for TikTok Shop…… a stable of affiliates for your brand.
But it is notoriously difficult as it requires time and capital….. there are platforms that make it easier, but will still cost as you will have to pay the platform and affiliate.

The $0 Growth Hack Every Amazon Seller is Missing 🤫

Amazon sellers are leaving money on the table by not using TikTok Shop content for Amazon Posts. This is the most underrated growth hack 🚀.
Your TikTok content can reach OBSCENE amounts of impressions on Amazon for FREE. Not only do social posts index, but that keyword-rich data feeds Rufus and helps Amazon recommend you more often.
Every Amazon seller knows they should be using ‘Amazon Posts’….. it won’t bring in a ton of sales, but it will bring sales (think if it as the ‘PPC Auto Campaign at 1c-2c bids’….. it never brings in huge sales….. but it does bring sales).
The problem with Amazon Posts; most sellers do not have enough content to create the posts. But using TikTok Shop, you can use all the content abtained in your Posts.
No more scrambling to find content….. best part, TikTok content converts on all platforms, but not vice versa.

🔥 DON'T WAIT - THE WINDOW IS CLOSING 🔥

TikTok's rolling out auto-optimized samples. Soon, you won't even choose which affiliates get your products. The algorithm will decide who's worthy.
They've added a CRM for customer outreach (DMs only)…..
The writing's on the wall. The wild west days are over.
The smart money is moving NOW while most sellers are still frozen in fear.
But unlike Amazon's early days, this window won't stay open for years. It's months, maybe weeks.
Book a call with me TODAY. I'll show you how to shortcut the learning curve and tap into what's actually working right now, not what worked last quarter.
Let's be real - you can either watch your competitors figure this out first, or you can be the one they're scrambling to catch up to.

PS. Most Amazon sellers are still stuck in 2024 TikTok Shop strategies. Be different. Be smarter.
