We’re kicking off Q1 2026 with a live breakdown of the 4 Profit Pillars on TikTok Shop — the exact levers separating brands that scale from those that stall:

1️⃣ Creator Acquisition
2️⃣ Creator Retention
3️⃣ Customer Acquisition
4️⃣ Customer Retention

If you’re in Wellness and looking to grow TikTok Shop into a predictable, profitable channel next year, this session is for you.

📅 December 18th
⏰ 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST
🎙️ Hosted by ZeroTo1 — featuring Micah Whitehead 🚀, CMO & Co-Founder

Emilee Smith-Teague, Muhammad Talha and 375 other attendees

We just scaled a book from 0 to #7 in their category in their first 60 days using this cold start frame work:

1. TikTok Exclusive Bundle 
2. Creator Community to manage all affiliates, campaigns, & challenges
3. 20-30% commissions
4. $10k/mo paid creator budget / 300 paid creator videos/ mo
5. Viral content briefs 
6. $20k/mo ad spend to start
7. Sampling minimum of 500 affiliates 
8. Consistent execution of all the fundamentals

If you're struggling to break out of cold start ($65k/mo) start here ^

We added a few more heavy hitters to the team this week.

Seeing output and quality jump as the last wave of hires hits the 30–45 day mark.

Producing better results, more consistently, with the new processes in place.

Super early but the investment in better talent and systems is starting to compound.

The talent density at zeroto1 is dirty right now.

Price is the ultimate lever when it comes to building a successful agency.

When we launched our TTS serrvice
Pods: over utilized, managing 8-10 clients
Client churn: high
Employee retention: terrible, especially at account manager level
Results: inconsistent
Client LTV: average 
Overall Talent grade: C-

In March I spent a day with Alex Hormozi and his first recommendation was to raise our prices. Since then we've doubled our monthly retainer.

Today
Pods: capped at 5 clients
Client churn: low (reduced by 34%)
Employee retention: 89%, our AM layer is stacked
Results: consistent
Client LTV: 15% increase and growing monthly 
Overall Talent grade: B

Improvements made since increasing price:
It forced us to go up market = better quality clients
We have the budget to pay for more experienced talent
More resources per pod
Better talent has rounded out our strategy with new and better processes
The standard of execution and output has raised
I'm learning new things from our team weekly

The gap between where we are and where we want to be is big, but we are closing it and it's exciting to be apart of.

Offering in-house live production is one of the biggest advantages our clients get when partnering with zeroto1 to manage their TikTok Shop strategy.

The impact of a well-executed Live strategy:
- Immediate increase of 5% - 10% GMV out of the gate for shops in the $65k range

- A powerful organic lever that increases overall channel ROI (higher margin than affiliate or ads)

- A predictable revenue stream that stabilizes and sustains Shop GMV

- A measurable lift across the entire ecosystem: affiliate videos, ads, and shop tab. We consistently see a 3-day trailing GMV bump after brand lives (in-platform halo)

Since officially launching our studio in May, we’ve been building it brick by brick and the foundation is strong.

Today we have:
	•	4 trained live hosts on staff
	•	2 booths running simultaneously daily
	•	8 active live clients

Live is going to be massive for social commerce and is a key part of zeroto1 2026 growth plan.

But what excites me most is the opportunity to carve out our own white space.

Right now, the “live playbook” across TikTok looks and feels the same.

A big focus for us is how we can break the rules and while unlocking leaps in performance:

- More entertainment driven and interactive
- creative set designs
- Getting out of the studio ”beat the streets style”

If you’re out of cold start ($65k/mo) and focused on efficiency, live insthe best short term and long term lever to invest in.
