Note on earnings: The specific earning figures, shop revenue figures, and commission figures in earlier versions of this post have been removed because they could not be verified. No daily, monthly, or per-sale income is promised or guaranteed here. Results vary widely, and many creators earn little or nothing from TikTok Shop, especially at first.
Introduction
This post describes one method people try for making money online: using AI tools to create short videos that promote products sold through TikTok Shop. AI tools can help with parts of the work, but they do not do all of it, and no income is guaranteed.
How Much Money Can You Make?
Third-party dashboards show estimates for some TikTok Shop sellers, but those estimates are not verified earnings, are not typical results, and should not be treated as proof of what a new creator will earn. A shop’s reported sales also do not show its costs, refunds, or profit.
Example of Top Earning TikTok Shops
Some shops are presented as top earners on these dashboards. Their figures are unverified estimates, and selling similar products does not guarantee similar results.
TikTok Video Success
Some videos on TikTok accounts promoting supplements have large view counts. View counts are not earnings, and making similar videos does not guarantee views. AI tools can help create videos, but effort, learning, and originality are still needed, and eligibility and availability vary by region and program rules.
How You Make Money Selling Products
Products on TikTok Shop are sold for a commission. A creator can make videos promoting a seller’s products, such as supplements, and earn a percentage of commission on sales they refer. Commission rates vary by product and seller, so check the current terms rather than relying on older examples.
Step 1: Sign Up for TikTok Shop
For step number one, sign up for the TikTok Shop program. The original video refers to a link in its description and a text guide for the video.
Why You Should Subscribe
If making money online is your thing, the creator recommends subscribing to the channel for future videos on the topic.
Step 2: How to Become a Creator
That is how you become a seller on TikTok. If you want to become a creator promoting other people’s products, the original video describes a website included in a text guide. Use your creativity to try to earn money, with no guarantee of results.
Joining the TikTok Shop Creator Program
The original video describes a “Join Now” option that leads to a QR code. Scanning the QR code with a phone is described as taking you to TikTok.
Identity Verification
The program may show that you are eligible to earn and ask you to apply and verify your identity before you can start earning on TikTok Shop. Verification requirements vary by country.
Filling Out the Required Information
Verification may ask for personal details, and the details required vary depending on the country you are promoting products from. Share personal information only through the platform’s official process.
Step 3: Promoting Products on TikTok
Once identity verification is successful, you should be able to start promoting TikTok Shop products. Approval and eligibility are subject to TikTok’s current rules.
How to Promote Products as a Creator
If you registered as a seller, you can list your products on TikTok Shop and promote them yourself. If you do not have products to sell, registering as a creator lets you promote other sellers’ products, subject to program rules.
Selling Specific Products
For example, you could promote a product such as a microphone listed on TikTok Shop. When a sale is made through your link, you earn a commission under the product’s current terms. Commission rates vary by product, so check the current terms.
Leveraging Popular TikTok Videos
TikTok Shop shows videos featuring a product. Do not copy other creators’ videos; create original videos instead. A similar video does not guarantee views, and popular videos’ view counts are not earnings.
How to Create TikTok Videos Using AI
Before learning how to create the video, the creator asks whether viewers have used TikTok Shop before and invites comments.
Creating Videos with InVideo AI
To create videos, the original video uses InVideo AI, described as a tool linked at the top of the video description. AI tools can help draft scripts and assemble videos, but their output should be checked for accuracy and originality.
Using InVideo AI for Script Creation
InVideo AI can create a video script and put the video together from a prompt. One example account mentioned, Best Healthy Habits, promotes health supplements.
Creating the Script
For example, you could ask InVideo to create a video about Tribulus Terrestris that showcases five major benefits of using Tribulus that people might not be aware of. Health claims in videos must be accurate and must follow platform and advertising rules.
Enhancing Engagement with Call to Action
A call to action at the end of the video can encourage viewers to buy through the link below. Any discount or offer mentioned must be genuine and current.
Editing Script and Footage
InVideo also has a script-to-video option: first create the script using ChatGPT, then in InVideo choose “Explore All,” then “Script to Video.”
Finalizing the Video
Once the video is ready, review it and make any necessary edits. Add footage, subtitles, and music to improve engagement.
Exporting and Posting Your Video
When you are happy with the video, click “Export” to download it to your computer. You can then post it to your TikTok account with the product link.
Conclusion: Start Earning
After posting the video, you can start trying to earn through TikTok Shop. Posting more videos does not guarantee more views or sales, and results vary widely.
