Transcript
PSA to TikTok shop affiliates: you were just starting TikTok shop, just remember, your whole life can change in one video. I remember when I first started TikTok shop, I wasn't necessarily overwhelmed because I saw a lot of people having a lot of success. But when I first started TikTok shop, I made $50,000 my first month. So I never really had that like period of trial and error. Like I never really like sucked at it because my first month was like, whoa, but then that first month I never really like figured out my baseline to it. So then the next months were like 15k, 11k, so I was like, fuck, like I got to still figure it out because to me that was low, because I hit a 50k month my first freaking month doing it, because I joined Media Labs, like the this TikTok shop agency that helped me. And then last month I made 35,000. So just know, TikTok shop fluctuates and you need to detach from money. And you need to also understand if you're just starting TikTok shop, you need to focus on the in the inputs. Like you need to focus on how many videos are you posting a day? How many times or how good did you edit it? Did you do product research? Do you even know what you're promoting? Is it increased commission? Is the commission even worth it? Is the commission above $3.50? Is it 15%? You need to know like what the fuck you're creating and promoting. I joined like an agency to help me figure all that shit out. But do not be overwhelmed if you want to start TikTok shop, you have no idea what to do. I promise you like it's your path. And yes, I did make $50,000 my first month, but then I had to like relearn it. Because that was like a whoa, because I made like 30k from one video. It was like a teeth whitening pen. Low key got to recreate that, you know what I'm saying? Um, but I've also been banned before my main shop account, set me back $0 for the next like two months. Like I've had very lows and I've had very, very highs with TikTok shop. Just know when you're getting into this whole TikTok shop game, it's going to take a little bit to getting used to understanding like viral products, viral formats, but I think joining a community really, really helps like Media Labs. Like I wouldn't have been able to do it if I wasn't in Media Labs. So you can apply in my bio if you want to join Media Labs, but I'm just saying, don't be stressed out if you want to do TikTok shop. There's so many ups and downs and it's your path and you will get a viral video if you don't give up. If you never give up, you never lose.
