Tiktok shop is gaining lots of popularity and tiktok is actively competing with Amazon.
Im gonna keep this really simplistic.
Tiktok is offering discounts to customers so they basically subsidise the discounts. meaning you can sell a item for $30 and tiktok will give customer free 25% discount and you get the full $30 - 3% for txn fees.
as you might've seen lots of people are dropshipping products from china and with the discount added onto it you. Things like earbud cleaners, little gimmicks, toys etc. these are okay but your gonna have a hard time keeping is consistent, lots of competition, shitty margins etc.
The best way to take advantage of tiktok shop is to open a personal brand. Find a niche and opportunity like teeth whitening, deodrants, organic soaps, natural honey etc.
but the main thing is find a niche that is:
Then you buy samples off the Chinese supplier or find anyway to get couple of samples even if it means printing logo or making box urself, and getting a etsy seller to make the deodrants or buying the teeth whitening kits off amazon etc.
Make videos on tiktok, post consistently about the product. Respond to questions, you want to show customers how your product can benefit them. If you've read marketing psychology books you will know about this
this vid is okay and shows it in a high level.
after you get some traction, followers you will know that this product has actual demand. Open up a website, or tiktok lead form, and get peoples email to be put in waitlist. Offer a discount, freebie etc. in exchange for signing up to pre order list. Now you have lots of customer who already pre payed.
Go to a Chinese manufacturer and get the product branded with good packaging. Buy a thermal printer off amazon with labels. Buy some bubble mailers. Set up your tiktok shop, mass email all your customers using a email marketing platform.
Best way to get sales is by organic content, doing live product showcase and answering questions. You can create UGC content and run ads on tiktok and facebook, or google search ads whatever fits ur business model. Or you can get influencers straight from tiktok and they commision for each sale they generate.
I'm looking to do this after my airpod reselling biz dies down or If I find time to start new venture. I've already found a good niche which I can build a brand with 4-5 products and upsell people with bundles, subscriptions etc.

but the main thing is find a niche that is:
- luxury product
- people pay premium for brand, authenticity,
- has somewhat of a viral/curiosity factor that gets people interested
- You can also look at ideal customer profile and then work backwards to find a product to sell to them, find their interests, what videos are on their fyp, what products do they usually buy etc.
