How I Made My First $200 Day on TikTok as an Affiliate
The Simplest Way to Earn Money on Products You Already Own
As someone who is always on the lookout for new sources of income, I recently delved into the world of TikTok affiliate marketing. And let me tell you, it has been AMAZING. In just one day, I made over $200 as a TikTok affiliate, and it's only been uphill from there.
If you're not familiar with the concept of affiliate marketing, let me break it down for you. As an affiliate, you promote products and services to your followers and earn a commission for each sale or referral made through your unique affiliate link. TikTok has now joined the affiliate marketing game by offering their users the opportunity to become affiliates through their TikTok Shop program.
But what makes TikTok's affiliate program different from others is that you can promote products that you already own and love. This means that you don't have to constantly invest in new products or services just to promote them. As someone who loves trying out new things and sharing my experiences with others, this was a dream come true for me.
I stumbled upon this opportunity when TikTok approached me with an invitation to join their seller program a long time ago. Little did I know, this was the backdoor way for those with under 5,000 followers to become affiliates. Without even realizing it, I was already doing what TikTok was inviting me to do – promoting products and earning money from sales.
Initially, I didn't see much traction with my affiliate posts on TikTok. So, I decided to learn more about the platform and its audience. What I learned is that TikTok users have a different expectation compared to other social media platforms. They want something fun, creative, and, most importantly, short.
This realization led me to change my approach. Instead of simply reposting my YouTube product reviews onto TikTok, I started creating shorter, more TikTok-friendly videos. And it paid off. I started gaining more followers, and my sales increased.
But here's the thing – you can't be afraid to throw things at the wall and see what sticks on TikTok. While some people stress about hashtags, thumbnails, and following trends, I've found success by just being myself and promoting products I genuinely love. It's all about finding your niche and creating content that resonates with your audience.
One tip that has worked for me is repurposing my YouTube videos for TikTok. Since my YouTube content is already in a horizontal format, I simply chop it up into smaller clips and post them on TikTok. This not only saves time but also allows me to showcase the products in a way that is more engaging for TikTok users.
Another challenge as a TikTok affiliate is finding products to promote. Unlike Amazon, where they have tools to help you find relevant products, TikTok doesn't make it easy. However, I've noticed that TikTok often shows me products I already own when I search for similar items on Amazon. This has helped me find products to promote through their affiliate program.
One product that I recently promoted was a backpack that I bought with a coupon provided by TikTok itself. To my surprise, it generated over 70,000 views and outranked the video of a previous video that the seller had promoted with paid advertising. This one item also helped me earn over $100 in a single day. This led me to come up with a strategy for choosing products to promote on TikTok – find products that have wide appeal and can benefit a diverse audience.
Now this second product is what earned me over $200 in a single day. All of the traffic I received from this video was 100% organic. Now as a amazon influencer I have on this product for over 2 years and I didn't really post about it on amazon which is something I kick myself in the butt for because I realized this was being sold a lot on amazon. So I took the products original video chopped it up made it tick tock friendly and posted it. I did add a little humor inside of my video as well as what I was speaking in my voice over. It was amazing watching every second my views go up and up with comments saved and likes.
But what sets the successful TikTok affiliates apart from others? The key is understanding your audience and catering to their preferences. This means adapting your content and delivery style to match what TikTok users want. It's crucial to stay updated with the latest trends on the platform and adapt them to your niche.
In summary, becoming a TikTok affiliate has been a lucrative source of income for me, and it can be for you too. As with any other form of marketing, it requires some trial and error to find what works best for you. But with a little bit of effort, you can turn your TikTok account into a money-making machine. So go ahead, give it a try, and see where it takes you. Remember, the key is to have fun and be yourself!
