0:00This right here is $273,000
0:02I made on one Tik Tok shop just in the
0:04past month. And not a single one of
0:06those sales came from me being in front
0:08of the camera. I started on the
0:09affiliate side of Tik Tok, made $2,000
0:11in my first month and then zero the
0:13next. And so I switched over to become a
0:15seller and my income completely changed.
0:17And in this video, I'm going to show you
0:19why selling beats being an affiliate and
0:21how this whole thing can run without you
0:23ever using your face. And by the very
0:25end, you'll have the exact setup that I
0:27use. From getting a product live with no
0:29money down to getting other people to
0:30sell it for you. Let's dive straight
0:32into it. When you hear Tik Tok shop, you
0:34probably picture the affiliate side.
0:35Posting videos for someone else's
0:37product and keeping a small cut. And I
0:39start right there so I can tell you
0:40exactly how it goes. Start requesting
0:42free samples of products that you might
0:43like to promote. Once you've got the
0:44product, you start making content,
0:46filming 5 to 10 videos every single day.
0:48After filming, start editing. You post
0:49tag in a product. And every time a sale
0:51generates through your link, you take
0:53home a commission. But what happens to
0:54your income the month videos stop
0:56hitting? That's exactly what I ran into.
0:58I was posting dozens of videos, getting
1:00better at making content every single
1:01day, but ultimately my income was tied
1:03to how viral my videos could go. I was
1:05spending all day editing, filming, and
1:07researching what products to promote,
1:09but ended up realizing that I was still
1:11trading my time and energy and the skill
1:12that I had of making content for a
1:15paycheck that was so unpredictable. The
1:17hardest part is that you can do
1:18everything right as an affiliate and
1:20still be starting from complete zero
1:22every single month. It is a constant
1:24grind with no end in sight of a
1:26possibility of being able to outsource
1:27or build systems around the work that
1:29you put in. But becoming a seller is
1:31what fixed that for me. And it comes
1:32down to two things. Your margins and
1:34what you own. Typically on Tik Tok shop,
1:36your margins are anywhere between 10 and
1:3825, maybe 30%. Of the total sales that
1:41you bring in for the brand, you as an
1:42affiliate take home that commission. But
1:44as a seller, you keep 50 to 70% of the
1:47profit. But the bigger one is the
1:48ownership. As an affiliate, you're still
1:50building someone else's brand for them.
1:52The entire enterprise value is built up
1:54on you. You might put in that sweat
1:56equity for them, but you only take that
1:58sliver of the pie on that first sale.
2:00But a seller is building a store that's
2:02actually theirs. Something that you can
2:03even sell or exit down the road. Now,
2:05all of this might have sounded really
2:07convincing, but there's still one
2:08question I always get asked that people
2:10are worried about when I tell them to
2:12become a seller. That thing is having to
2:14be the one on the camera. And I get
2:16that. But that fear can keep you on the
2:18sidelines for a while. that feeling of
2:19your co-workers making fun of you for
2:21the cringy Tik Toks you make, maybe your
2:23friends and family making fun of you and
2:25despising the work that you're doing.
2:26For me, when I started posting content,
2:28I was just so embarrassed of having
2:30other people watching me just talk in
2:31front of the camera. And the truth is is
2:33that most people have an immense amount
2:34of fear before posting content thinking
2:37that they have to get in front of the
2:38camera. But the truth is is that us Tik
2:40Tok shop sellers, we don't have to do
2:42that. We don't have to get in front of
2:43the camera. We don't have to plaster our
2:45face all over the internet. And there is
2:46a trap behind posting content that
2:48nobody warns you about. Getting in front
2:50of a camera, becoming an influencer, and
2:52putting yourself out there is one of the
2:54biggest risks that you can take inside
2:56of your business. The day that you stop
2:58filming, the income stops with you. So,
3:01if being on camera is the one thing
3:02that's standing between you and
3:03starting, I'll be the first one to tell
3:05you, take it off the table right now.
3:06Because the money that I got never came
3:08from my face, but from owning the
3:10product and the store behind it. I came
3:12from an incredibly disciplined
3:14background in swimming. two to three
3:15practices every single day, forcing
3:17myself to eat, forcing myself to sleep,
3:19sacrificing so many things just so I
3:21could pursue my goal swimming. And what
3:23I'm trying to articulate is I came from
3:24a background in being a very disciplined
3:26person. But even me trying to apply that
3:28discipline to being a content creator
3:30was still applying something to a broken
3:32system. Trying to become a Tik Tok
3:33Shopify and begging to go viral was that
3:36broken system. And then I realized that
3:38I didn't have to be the content creator.
3:40I didn't have to be the one plastering
3:42my face all over the internet. I could
3:43be the one recruiting the content
3:45creators to promote and market my
3:47products, selling thousands of them per
3:49day. And this is the same for you as
3:51well. You can build this entire thing
3:52and never attach your name or your face
3:54to a single piece of it. That right
3:56there is the moment things click for the
3:58people that I work with when they
3:59realize that they can do this without
4:00ever showing themselves. Take Joe for
4:02example. He runs everything on print on
4:03demand. He never touched a single piece
4:05of physical inventory and he's pulling
4:07in $45,000 months. April White here is a
4:09clear example of that as well, scaling
4:10all the way to $17,000 a month. And then
4:13there's Cooper, who built his store slow
4:15and steady, and he scaled the exact same
4:16store all the way to $60,000 a week. So,
4:19if you want me and my team to help you
4:20build your product and store the right
4:22way, there's a short application down in
4:24the description. It's the first link. It
4:25takes 2 minutes. And if you are a good
4:26fit, you'll have the opportunity to book
4:28a call with someone from my team. Now,
4:29all this starts with having something to
4:31sell. And the direction that I always
4:33point people towards at the very
4:34beginning when starting Tik Tok Shop is
4:36a way to do it without fronting any
4:38capital when it comes to getting
4:39inventory through print on demand. Most
4:41people think that you need a ton of
4:42capital and you have to buy 10,000
4:44products and put it into a warehouse or
4:46into your garage just to start selling.
4:48That was the traditional way of how
4:50people used to sell products online and
4:51allows you to start doing Tik Tok shop
4:53without fronting capital when it comes
4:55to getting inventory. And it's sad to
4:56think that that belief alone stops
4:58people before they even get around to
5:00starting. And setting it all up is a lot
5:03simpler than you might expect. The first
5:05step is connecting your Tik Tok shop to
5:07your on demand supply. What I always
5:08recommend and what we do inside of the
5:10inner circle is we use Printify. Once
5:12your Tik Tok shop is connected, you
5:13design your product and publish it on
5:15Printify. That means when Tik Tok shop
5:17gets an order of your product, Printify
5:19will now get notified of that order and
5:21send it directly to your customer. And
5:23you never had to buy 10,000 units of a
5:25product before you even start it. And
5:27only real upfront cost just to get
5:29started from ground zero is by using
5:31Printify Premium. That literally runs
5:32only $30 a month. And that's what makes
5:34the margins work. inside of our inner
5:36circle. Apparel and mugs are by far the
5:39easiest place to start and for any
5:40beginner out there, that's what I always
5:42recommend. They're both super cheap to
5:43make and ship and simple to design
5:45around. And I run every single product
5:47through a filter that I call the
5:48mandatory three. Pillar number one, a
5:50product has to have an immediate wow
5:52factor, drive curiosity, and have that
5:54virality factor to it. It's got to be
5:56immediately able to catch my attention.
5:58It's got to be able to stop the scroll
6:00and have that pattern interrupt to it.
6:01Pillar number two, our product has to
6:03solve a specific urgent problem. For
6:05example, a decorative water bottle or
6:07some LED lights that you put inside of a
6:08room doesn't really solve a specific
6:10urgent problem. Now, something on the
6:12completely opposite side that has so
6:13much urgency built into it could be
6:15something like a neuropathy device. If
6:17you're a little bit unfamiliar to what
6:18neuropathy is, is numbness and nerve
6:20pain inside your feet and your hands.
6:22And there's a laundry list of products
6:23that are out there that solve that exact
6:25same problem. That is a true painful
6:27thing for someone. And your product has
6:29to have that ability to solve it. And
6:30number three, our product has to be easy
6:32to film content with. Since we're
6:33showcasing our product through a video,
6:35we have to be able to effectively
6:36showcase it. As we had in Q4,
6:38decorations are a big one. Anything
6:40that's Christmas related that shows a
6:41giftability factor to it, you can show
6:43the product and you can sell
6:44immediately. Now, why does that last
6:46one, being able to film content very
6:48easily and effectively, matters so much
6:50when the plan is to be faceless and
6:52having just Tik Tok shop affiliates to
6:53make all the videos for you? Once that
6:55product is live, we get to do the thing
6:57that you came here for. How do you
6:58actually sell it without putting
6:59yourself in front of the camera? The
7:01entire faceless system runs on two
7:03different layers. You can, of course,
7:04film your own videos yourself, being
7:06behind the camera and just showing the
7:07product and never showing your face.
7:09That's exactly how I was able to grow my
7:10brand to my first million dollars.
7:12Learning how to make content is
7:14absolutely vital, and I always recommend
7:15everyone to do so. Just do it faceless.
7:17And if you're anything like me who never
7:18wants to show your face, do it like
7:20that. But now, with the rise of what is
7:21possible with AI videos, you don't even
7:23have to film videos of products you want
7:25to sell. You can just do total AI
7:27videos. Start off by taking a photo of
7:29your product with your iPhone. Take that
7:30photo and bring it into the Higsfield
7:32using the Sea Dance 2.0 model. You're
7:34going to apply prompts just like this to
7:36start animating those videos with a
7:37viral format. And there you have it. All
7:39stemming from a single photo that you
7:41took inside of your living room. That's
7:42now a video that can go viral on Tik
7:44Tok. Now, the second layer to building a
7:46faceless Tik Tok shop is by far the
7:48biggest lever that you can pull in your
7:49store. And that is by leveraging Tik Tok
7:51shop affiliates. Instead of you making
7:53the content yourself, you and your
7:55affiliate army can go out there and post
7:57hundreds of videos every single day.
7:58Doing all the content yourself caps you
8:00because there's only one of you. So, the
8:02goal was never about how do you make
8:04more videos. It was how do you build a
8:06system that makes those videos without
8:07you being in between. Here's exactly how
8:09I find the top performing affiliates to
8:11promote my products. Go over to Calata
8:13and search up products are inside of
8:15your niche. Look for products I've been
8:16trending just in the past 6 months.
8:18Inside Calata, you'll be able to see all
8:20the creators that are promoting those
8:21products. And you know, if those
8:22products have been blown up recently,
8:24those creators are the ones driving all
8:26the revenue. And you're going to do the
8:27simple thing. you're going to reach out
8:28to those exact same affiliates, offering
8:29a bigger commission rate than they were
8:31already getting. That's called affiliate
8:32sniping, and it's the exact same system
8:34that I've been using for the past 2
8:35years, building brands all the way to $2
8:37million a year. Now, it's also really
8:39important to mention once you have an
8:40army of affiliates, it's super important
8:42to keep them motivated. What I like to
8:43do is I like to constantly roll out
8:45bonuses and competitions to my entire
8:47affiliate community. And that is the
8:48fuel to the fire that turns a team of
8:50Tik Tok shop affiliates into an army
8:52that is printing for you. And it gets
8:54even more fun when you start dumping GMV
8:56Max ads to the fire. GM Max is going to
8:58locate the videos that are performing
8:59the best and only scale those hard. And
9:01put those layers together and you've got
9:03a store selling around the clock with
9:05your face nowhere in it. Now, I want to
9:06be straight with you about what this
9:08actually looks like when you're first
9:09starting out. I'm not going to sit here
9:10and tell you that you're going to make
9:12$273,000
9:13in your very first month because you
9:15won't. And anyone promising you that is
9:17lying straight to your face. A realistic
9:20first 30 days looks more like $5,000 in
9:22sales. and somewhere between 15 and
9:24$20,000 a month in your first 90 to 110
9:27days if you are consistent. Now, those
9:29bigger months come later once the system
9:31is really built out. And a reason I keep
9:33pushing people to start now is the
9:35timing. Tik Tok shop right now is
9:36roughly where Amazon was back in 2016.
9:39The people who got in early were the
9:40ones who made it out big time. And the
9:42best part about starting this right now
9:43is that there are 10 affiliates for
9:45every single one seller on Tik Tok shop.
9:47And there's over $40 million flowing
9:49through Tik Tok shop every single day.
9:51Affiliates are the ones making the
9:52content, but the sellers are the ones
9:53silently bringing the motherlo. And that
9:55window is completely wide open right
9:57now, but it's not going to be open for
9:59much longer. Once people start to
10:00realize that you can become a Tik Tok
10:02shop seller and then leveraging
10:03affiliates to make the content for you
10:05is when it's going to get really
10:06crowded. So, if you want me to help you
10:07build your own Facebook store the right
10:09way from the very start, the application
10:11is the first link down in the
10:12description. Go ahead and fill that out.
10:14At the very end, you have the
10:14opportunity to book a call with someone
10:16from my team to walk you through exactly
10:17how we do it. Thank you for watching.
