Here's exactly how anyone can make their first $1,000 with TikTok affiliates...
First, I’m going to assume you don’t already have 5,000 followers. If you do, feel free to skip ahead.
Step 1: Niche Down
The first thing you should do is niche down. This will help you build your page much faster. Choose a niche that has a decent market size with enough potential buyers to succeed and make money.
Pick something you know at least a little bit about—preferably a lot—and that you're genuinely interested in. If you have some expertise in your chosen niche, you’ll be able to communicate more effectively with potential buyers through your videos.
You’ll speak their language, have a better idea of the type of content that will do well, and understand the typical objections and questions your audience might have—because you are your target buyer.
While you can choose one of the typical niches that perform well on TikTok like health and beauty, supplements, or fitness, it might be better to pick something more specific to you. This way, you’ll face less competition and have an advantage. Just make sure the niche is large enough.
Step 2: Reach 5,000 Followers
To apply to the TikTok affiliate program, you need 5,000 followers. While this may seem like a hurdle, it’s actually a good thing because the higher barrier to entry means less competition once you’re accepted.
There are two strategies to get to 5,000 followers quickly: one requires more time, and the other requires more money.
Option 1: Grow Your Page with Content
If you prefer to spend time growing your page, use an AI software like Simplified AI to clip shorts of popular influencers’ YouTube videos within your niche. Post 3-5 of these clips to your page each day.
This strategy might take you anywhere from two weeks to two months, depending on the quality of your videos, the popularity of the influencer, and your consistency.
This method works well because the influencers already have a recognizable brand and audience, so uploading their content will get you more views quickly. You’re also building an audience of potential buyers who are interested in the niche products you’ll soon be linking.
Option 2: Run Ads
The second way to reach 5,000 followers is by running ads to get page followers on TikTok. This will get you there much faster, but it costs more money to shortcut the process.

Step 3: Conduct Product Research
Once you’ve picked your niche and reached 5,000 followers, it’s time to get accepted into the affiliate program and start researching products.
Don’t just rely on TikTok Shop to see what pops up. You want to use a product research software like Kalodata to see data and sales trends over time for every product currently selling well in your niche.
Ensure you’re going after products that are selling well right now, not ones that were popular a month or two ago.
Kalodata will help you find hundreds of products with a high likelihood of success. You can also see the top videos responsible for selling those products and the creators who made them. This way, you can emulate the best videos that are already proven to sell those products.

Step 4: Create and Test Videos
After finding proven products with a high likelihood of selling, you still need to create videos and test them on your page. The fastest way to do this is with a software called Creatify AI. This tool allows you to make dozens of videos super fast and upload them to TikTok the same day you pick a product—without even needing the product on hand.
Creatify AI uses a combination of pictures and videos from the product listing to create a video for you. You can also upload your own videos, and the software will pull the best parts as B-roll, overlaying them with your new script and voiceover to automatically create a high-quality video showcasing your product.
This approach allows you to quickly test products and find the one or two that can take your TikTok Shop sales through the roof. It’s all about testing with the minimum viable product approach—proving the concept with the least time, effort, and money spent.

Step 5: Scale Your Winning Products
As you test products, some might never sell, some might get a few sales, but some might take off. When you find a product that starts to sell really well, double down on it by making tons of videos like it with different hooks, b roll, and product angles.
This strategy will not only help you reach your first $1,000 on TikTok affiliates but likely a lot more.
This simple formula of product research, testing, and scaling has worked for me over and over again. It’s the fastest way to get your first $1,000 on TikTok.
Hope it helps!
