Curious to know how if anyone has a hack for getting spark ad codes from affiliates on TTS. We use Euka and everything for this and send messages when the creators content is pending and after they post, but the majority of the time these days the creators just never respond to any message. We have creators that will generate $5k in GMV organically, and we can't boost their content because they don't have an email, don't respond to email or don't respond to DM's in seller center OR they don't turn on mass authorization. It's wild that they wouldn't make this easier.

Nik recently shared a newsletter on how to drive sales in Target w/ Influencers. @Shin Takeda I wonder if it would be possible to see examples of those influencer posts if they still exist on social. I imagine the brand was Snif, but I can't find any Snif x Target content on IG!

nvm, I found that the content inspiration feature within Seller Center is actually the best at consolidating the best videos every week

Anyone have a tool that can identify top trending videos on TTS? I have fast moss, but it doesn't seem to show the top videos with the most views or GMV from the past 7 or 30 days. You would basically have to click into a brand page, and then look at their top videos, which is far too manual and specific to certain products vs a more high level overview of what are the most viral videos from the past 30 days.

I'm trying to find a way to tease out the most current viral angles/hooks being used on TTS

Don’t waste your time focusing on the stuff that didn’t work. Just take the concepts that did and make sure a bunch of other creators recreate those videos.

#everything-marketing - March 04, 2025 at 05:09 PM

@Sambhav Chadha im not sure those rumors are true that meta's version of TTS i coming. I spoke to someone that worked on the initial launch of IG Shop and he said there is like 2 engineers involved with shopping right now. They let everyone go and it seems there is zero signs of that changing.

#everything-marketing - March 04, 2025 at 05:08 PM

@Sandeep Bansal you guys crushing Reels over there?

#everything-marketing - February 14, 2025 at 09:50 PM

Any brands out there having success driving sales from Influencers posting Reels?

#general-chat - February 11, 2025 at 12:41 AM

Not sure if this is the best channel for this, but I'm launching a body care brand with a large YT influencer next month, and I'm looking to find where Nik/Moiz have talked about about launching a brand in podcasts or newsletters. I'm specifically looking for where they talk about the marketing strategy pre-launch, on the day of the launch and within the first month of going live. Bonus points if anyone has context around the launch marketing strategy for a creator led brand!

Does anyone have records of Podcasts or Email Newsletters on this subject?

Thank you in advance!!

@Ivan Bagaybagayan I was thinking about the ad revenue over the course of the year from the increased user base if TT goes dark like they say they are. I don't think Meta Shop will be a big deal until 2026. It's super early and they are barely testing anywhere, at least with proper attribution for creators + commission opportunity.

#general-chat - January 15, 2025 at 06:40 PM

Looks like IG is testing something the TikTok affiliate model with their native checkout in the UK

#tiktok - January 15, 2025 at 06:29 PM

Should we all be buying stock piles of meta shares right now or what?

#tiktok - January 14, 2025 at 04:40 PM

Seems like most creators are downloading all of their TT content and are going to repost it on IG Reel and YT Shorts. I see two options for posting:

  1. Tag the product in the video to make it shoppable (this is possible on Reels and YT shorts)
  2. Use ManyChat DM automation to send people link to product on Amazon

#tiktok - January 13, 2025 at 04:40 PM

I mean, it seems 100% spot on.

Question is, what's next? I have an idea.

How is anyone tracking performance of specific creator posts on TTS Seller Central? I'm not sure how this is possible, but Seller Central doesn't show the data for the videos that our paid partners are posting, so there is no way to tell what is working, and if they are generating sales, we aren't seeing it.

Example: talyanicole has posted 8 videos in December (we know this because she uploads the content to a google sheet for us w/ a spark code)

#tiktok - December 16, 2024 at 07:00 PM

Meta is launching Shopping. I would prep for that. Get going on Reels as the reach is far greater and more consistent than TikTok anyways right now. We have heard that meta shop will start via FB Reels.

#tiktok - December 06, 2024 at 05:14 AM

Im checking on that

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:05 PM

I bet the actual views on that video are 282 with 73 clicks.

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:05 PM

in the first screnshot I sorted by videos with the most views. In the 2nd screenshot I just went and found the video without sorting.

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:04 PM

here's where it gets interesting. This is a different view of that same creators video performance

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:02 PM

and 0 orders is impossible

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:02 PM

from 1 video

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:02 PM

no product on tiktok has 88,000 real clicks

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:02 PM

I think for sure bots

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:01 PM

the videos aren't bad

#tiktok - December 05, 2024 at 09:01 PM

not sure if that helps. just clicked export and sent what it downloaded

Across all brands.

#tiktok - November 08, 2024 at 02:33 PM

No I mean like we think that you can't send DM's at all anymore through the bot. That's what our guy is telling us

#tiktok - November 07, 2024 at 02:58 PM

I can see this mass affiliate outreach needing to be on email only pretty soon, and mass affiliate in general becoming a thing of the past whereas working with a smaller number of really high quality creators being the replacement strategy.

#tiktok - November 07, 2024 at 02:57 PM

Anyone else's Bot no longer working for DM's on TTS? I think they did an update and now target collab invites only work

#tiktok - July 10, 2024 at 10:06 PM

Fixed fee. $2k

#tiktok - July 10, 2024 at 08:11 PM

Someone please explain to me how it is possible to have a .0007% CVR on a $7 product, in which the creator's post had 500k views, and 22,000 clicks. My brain cant even comprehend this.

There is just no way that 22,000 users actually clicked on the product and only 161 purchased.

i could be wrong though

#tiktok - July 02, 2024 at 03:42 PM

it looks like the TikTok style content on the site currently is not really strong enough to move product on TTS

#tiktok - July 02, 2024 at 03:23 PM

@Ian Sells if I were you guys I would try to recruit TikTok Shop creators, especially ones that are making content that has viral principles like Controversery, fear, urgency, etc

#tiktok - June 28, 2024 at 06:01 PM

Hey everyone, I'm looking for the best UGC platform that has creators making VIRAL TikTok Shop content. Specifically looking for creators that make content based on viral principles like creating emotion, urgency, fear, etc

There is a course that this guy Jimmy Farley runs called Creators Corner where they are teaching creators how to make this style of content that helps brands go viral, but it's it's not a platform that allows you to access UGC creators to source content from. It's just a course that teaches the principles.

Does anyone have a lead on the best platform ?

#general-chat - June 28, 2024 at 03:24 PM

just chapgpt?

#general-chat - June 28, 2024 at 02:39 PM

Does anyone have any resources that can help come up with naming a brand? Launching a bodyoil as a supplement brand this year and we are stuck on what to call it.

#amazon - June 28, 2024 at 11:59 AM

what's the product?

#amazon - June 27, 2024 at 02:47 PM

just affiliate traffic and revenue, and yea CC is really just for prime day, DOTD and random sales throughout the year. Not a ton of action outside of that because of the lack of functionality. Levanta solves for that and incentivizes the creators to post evergreen.

#tiktok - June 27, 2024 at 10:22 AM

@Shin Takeda we use a combination bot + email outreach. The bot is really just a tool for us to collect emails at this point as creators really aren't going to generate organic sales anymore on TTS unless you train them how via course, creative guielines, or arming them with content inspiration.

#amazon - June 27, 2024 at 09:43 AM

@Andrew Bonasso that's exactly the way to think about it. Unless the product is an top seller in the category, it's going to be hard to get the best creators to bite on anything below 20%. IMO though, CC is trash, and Levanta is far superior. We are running 6 clients on Levanta right now with a ton of success.

#tiktok - June 11, 2024 at 09:14 PM

they can't send any orders
