How a $1M nearly crushed a TikTok Shop and how to fix it? Recently, we came across a post from someone who lost over $1 million in sales because of fake product listings copied by others. Their conversion rate dropped from 5% to 0.3%, costing them seven figures in GMV. This isn’t unusual once you hit $300k+ monthly. The good news? They shared a clear guide developed using the guidance from leaders on the IP team at Bytedance, to help other Tiktok Sellers. Credits to Mark Ross for sharing this valuable insight check out his original post here: https://lnkd.in/gd4VAD23 -- As a TikTok Shop Insiders agency, we’ve seen this challenge and applied this with several clients.

Many TikTok Shop sellers don’t realize their account is at risk until it’s too late. Here's a quick checklist to make sure you don’t fall into the same trap. Most sellers don’t actively monitor their account health, which can lead to violations and penalties. If you're not staying on top of it, TikTok Shop can flag your account for: - Policy violations: These can range from missing product information to unapproved promotional tactics. - Fake reviews and ratings: Not addressing these can severely damage your reputation and sales. - Shipping and tracking issues: Missing shipping deadlines or not providing tracking info can cause customer dissatisfaction and penalties. - Buy Box signals: Missing out on signals that help you win the Buy Box means you're losing sales opportunities. TikTok Shop gives you the tools to stay ahead of these issues, but it’s important to be proactive in managing your account health. I compile a free, easy-to-use checklist to help sellers quickly spot any issues and maintain a healthy account.

The best way to grow a successful ecommerce brand in 2025? (Regardless of your follower count or how long you’ve been in business.) Treat TikTok Shop like it’s your main sales channel, not just a place to post content. The smartest sellers right now aren’t overthinking it. They’re showing up with content that converts. They’re building audiences through trust, not gimmicks. They’re mastering what works, then doubling down. Here’s why TikTok Shop is different (and why that’s a good thing): You don’t need a Shopify store or fancy funnel. TikTok Shop gives you the storefront, the traffic, and the buyers, all in one place. You don’t need to go viral to win. You need consistent, converting content that shows off your product in a way people actually care about. You don’t need influencers, you need marketers. Partner with UGC creators who understand sales psychology. (There’s a difference between looking good on camera and knowing how to sell a product.) The sellers dominating TikTok Shop today are the ones who: → Create scroll-stopping hooks → Tell real, relatable stories → Show transformation, not just features → Include strong CTAs that move people to buy That’s it. No paid ads. No funnels. No fluff. Because TikTok is no longer just a place to “build brand awareness.” It’s a place to make sales in real time, while people are still watching your video. And guess what? This is the biggest low-cost, high-reward window we’ve ever seen in ecommerce. The platform is still expanding. The competition is beatable. The opportunity is real. But to win, you’ve got to stop thinking about TikTok as “just another platform” and start treating it like the most powerful sales tool in your business.

5 Common TikTok Shop Listing Mistakes (And how to fix them before they cost you sales.) Most new sellers think uploading a product is all it takes to start making money. That’s where things go sideways. The reality? TikTok Shop rewards optimized listings but yours might be holding you back if it: 1. Has poor-quality visuals (kills trust instantly). 2. Lacks social proof (feels risky to buy). 3. Uses bland, feature-only copy (fails to connect). 4. Ignores keyword discovery (hard to find). 5. Misses the TikTok shopper mindset (wrong message, wrong buyer). Your listing should compel, not confuse. Here’s how we help sellers level up: Step 1: Eye-Catching, Scroll-Stopping Visuals ↳ High-res images that tell a story. ↳ Highlight transformations or use-cases. ↳ TikTok buyers want to see the benefit, fast. Step 2: Trust-Building Proof ↳ Add UGC, ratings, or creator screenshots. ↳ People trust people—use that psychology. Step 3: Emotion-Driven Copy That Clicks ↳ Focus on the shopper’s problems and dreams. ↳ TikTok isn’t about specs—it’s about why it matters. Step 4: Strategic Keyword Placement ↳ Use words your audience actually searches. ↳ Look at viral listings for proven patterns. Step 5: Know Who You're Selling To ↳ TikTok's buyer base is largely house moms. ↳ Your visuals, copy, and offer should speak to them directly. A strong listing is your silent salesperson—working 24/7 to drive conversions and feed the algorithm. Make every part count. P.S. Want a quick listing audit?

This is the update you’ve been waiting for! If you’ve ever sold on TikTok (or Amazon), you know the pain, no access to customer data, no way to follow up, no real retention strategy. That’s over. TikTok just launched a built-in customer nurturing platform. This new feature gives you full access to your buyers, inside the platform. Think: Klaviyo built directly into TikTok Shop. You can now segment your audience by: • Buyers (30/60/90 days) • Gender + age • People who watched affiliate videos • Product interest & behavior • And way more… This isn’t just a feature. It’s the first real retention engine on TikTok Shop. Why? Because segmented campaigns drive up to 760% more revenue in email marketing. And now you can build that kind of power without ever leaving TikTok. We’re already testing segments, campaigns, and follow-ups. This update just shifted the game from “viral or bust” to “real retention and revenue.” Sellers who move fast will win. What do you think about TikTok’s new customer nurturing platform? Do you believe it will boost retention and revenue, or is there still room for improvement? Drop your thoughts in the comments! #tiktokshop #customerretention #ecommercegrowth #socialcommerce #onlineselling #sellerstrategy

Are you a brand on TikTok that hasn't authorized your trademark yet? If so, you're missing out on a huge opportunity to grow your business. What is brand authorization? It's a process that verifies your brand's authenticity on TikTok. When you authorize your brand, you're essentially telling TikTok, "Hey, this is my brand, and it's legit." Why is it important? - Increased Visibility: Authorizing your brand can help your products and content rank higher in TikTok's search results. This means more people will see your stuff, which can lead to more followers, likes, and shares. - Enhanced Credibility: When people see that your brand is authorized, they're more likely to trust you and your products. This is especially important if you're selling products online or trying to build a reputation as a thought leader in your industry. - Better Engagement: Authorized brands tend to have higher engagement rates on TikTok. This means more people are interacting with your content, which can help you build a loyal following. - Protection from Counterfeits: Authorizing your brand can help protect you from counterfeit products being sold under your name. This is a major concern for many brands, as counterfeits can damage your reputation and hurt your sales. How do you authorize your brand on TikTok? The process is fairly straightforward. You'll need to provide some documentation to prove that you own the trademark. Once your application is approved, your brand will be authorized on TikTok. So, what are you waiting for? Authorizing your brand on TikTok is a small investment with a big payoff. It can help you increase your visibility, build trust, and boost your sales.

TikTok Shop just rolled out a major storefront update and it’s a game changer. The old Shop Page is now officially called Shop Design, and it comes with a ton of customization features brands should be using right now: ✅ Add your logo, brand colors, and banner ✅ Drag-and-drop layout to highlight collections ✅ Showcase bestsellers or promos right up front But here’s the real kicker →Shops using Shop Design see an average conversion rate of 3.78%. That’s more than double the 1.73% conversion for those who don’t use it. Let me say it bluntly: Your storefront matters. TikTok is no longer just about viral videos. It’s about visual trust, seamless UX, and brand storytelling inside your storefront. If you haven’t customized your Shop Design yet, this is your sign to do it before your competitors pass you by. I’m offering a free 30-minute strategy call to help sellers optimize their Shop Design and increase conversions. 👉 Book here: https://lnkd.in/gKD3Ss2w Let’s turn your storefront into a conversion machine.

The truth nobody tells you about TikTok Shop growth: It's not always pretty, you’ll see the wins. The viral products, the 6-figure screenshots. But here’s what most won’t show you: - When GMV drops week after week - When creators stop converting completely - When TikTok updates crush your visibility But what about when it doesn’t work? Because success isn’t just growth. It’s knowing how to handle the plateaus. The top brands don’t panic, they pivot. Here’s what you can do instead: → Audit old videos that used to convert → Test new hooks, creators, bundles, offers → Rework angles that felt “good” but didn’t work → Adapt faster than they blame the algorithm There’s no “set it and scale it” strategy. So if GMV is down? That’s not failure, that’s feedback. Feedback you can use to grow again. The real flex isn’t constant success. It’s staying sharp through every dip.

NEW TIKTOK SHOP FEATURE - FLAT FEE OPTION FOR AFFILIATES If you’re doing affiliate content, TikTok just launched a brand new program and it’s a major shift in how creators can get paid. Right now, it’s invite-only. But here’s how it works: Instead of earning commission only, this new program allows you to get paid upfront just to post. No waiting for orders. No relying on conversions. Inside your TikTok Shop creator toolkit, go to: → Collab Invites → Tap the filter icon → You’ll see a new option: “Flat Fee” This is where brands will offer a set amount to collaborate with you even before any sales happen. There’s also a new filter inside the “Affiliate Orders” section under Earnings that shows whether your content was paid via flat fee or commission. It’s still in beta but if TikTok rolls this out widely, it could solve one of the biggest friction points for creators: inconsistent income. I got accepted into the test group and will be sharing what I learn as it rolls out. More on that soon.

50% of TikTok Shop sellers said this is their biggest struggle Here’s what we’re doing about it (and how you can, too) We ran a poll asking TikTok Shop sellers about their biggest challenges. The top answer? Finding the right creators. Not fulfillment. Not the algorithm. Not balancing organic vs. paid. Just creators. The truth is, most brands are throwing out samples and hoping for the best. But here’s the problem: most creators don’t know your brand like you do. That’s why they post something random, and results fall flat. If you want to scale on TikTok Shop, you need to know that best creators aren’t born, they’re built. And that starts with YOU giving them the right tools. How? We give them a one-page content brief that includes: → Hooks that already convert → Scripts that match brand tone → Promos they can plug-and-play → What’s working for other top affiliates → Simple dos and don’ts that save them time We’ve used this to help brands build high-performing affiliate community, and now we’re giving it away.

I just spotted something inside TikTok Shop that sellers really need to pay attention to. Your shop’s internal performance metrics? They’re now visible to creators as a public recommendation label. Here’s what creators now see when they check your listing: ✅ “Highly Recommended” 👍 “Recommended” 😐 “Neutral” ⚠️ “Consider with Caution” And while the backend score calculation hasn’t changed, the impact has. If your score slips, top affiliates might pass on your products—before you even get a chance to pitch them. This update puts pressure on sellers to keep operations tight:  → Fast shipping → Good reviews → Low return rates → Solid listing experience In our agency, we’ve already started auditing client accounts for anything that might hurt their score from misleading thumbnails to missed SLAs. Here’s my advice if you want to stay in the "Highly Recommended" zone: → Fix weak listings or underperforming SKUs → Follow up with happy customers for more 5-star reviews → Start using your score as part of your affiliate pitch—build trust before they even ask This change shifts TikTok Shop from "anyone can play" → to "only the best win distribution." Curious how this will affect affiliate conversion rates over time... what do you think? #tiktokupdate #tiktokseller #tiktokshop #tiktok

I failed, more than once. My first mobile apps? Some flopped hard. My Amazon seat cushion business? Moldy products, missed shipments, late nights, and burnout. I even got scammed along the way. There were moments I thought I wasn’t cut out for this. But I had two choices: Quit or keep building. I chose to build. Fast forward, I scaled that Amazon business to seven figures while working a full-time job. Here’s what changed everything: I treated nights and weekends like mission-critical hours I studied what worked then doubled down I built systems, not just products I saw every failure as feedback, not a verdict From there, opportunities opened up: - Became Head of Amazon for brands like TRUFF, TULA Skincare, Nectar, and GOPURE - Helped drive over $100 million in sales - Witnessed the power of TikTok Shop firsthand So in 2024, I made the leap Launched TikTok Shop Insiders, a podcast and agency helping brands crush it on TikTok. What I’ve learned: Pressure is a privilege The most successful people aren’t the smartest, just the most relentless Your 'why' must be louder than your doubts If you’re in the thick of it right now, tired, doubting, ready to throw in the towel. Hear this: You’re closer than you think. The setback might just be your setup. Tell me your latest business hurdle in the comments. I’ll help you work through it.

I never set out to be an “ecom guy.” I just knew I wanted to build something of my own. From launching apps with millions of downloads to trying random side hustles, I was chasing that feeling of creating something from scratch. But nothing clicked the way e-commerce did. Here’s what I’ve learned from scaling brands (and why I launched TikTok Shop Insiders): Ecom is the best crash course in business you’ll ever get. You wear every hat: product, marketing, logistics, customer experience. I bootstrapped my first private-label Amazon brand and hit 7 figures, but not without messing up sourcing, failing launch strategies, and second-guessing myself more times than I can count. That journey taught me how to actually build something sustainable. Then I helped other brands scale and exit through Amazon rollups. And I realized that there’s nothing more fulfilling than helping someone else win. When TikTok Shop came along, I saw the same early potential, but bigger. The speed. The creator-driven growth. The untapped reach. So I launched TikTok Shop Insiders to give brands the shortcut I never had. Here’s what I’ve learned: - TikTok Shop isn’t just a trend, it’s the future of product discovery. - Creator partnerships > ad spend, especially early on. -  Most brands fail because they treat it like Amazon. It’s not. - The fastest-growing brands are testing 5x more than anyone else. Now it’s your turn: If you are ready to take your brand to the next level on TikTok Shop? Let's chat and see how I can help!
