In this video, we break down one of the biggest mistakes new TikTok Shop sellers make:
They don’t use affiliates properly, or they don’t use them at all.
Most sellers focus only on listing products. They assume traffic will somehow come later. That’s not how TikTok works.
TikTok is driven by creators.
If you don’t understand how to structure your shop in a way that attracts affiliates, you’re leaving distribution on the table.
Why Most Sellers Struggle With Affiliates
New sellers usually fall into one of three traps:
They don’t know how to add affiliates.
They add affiliates but structure commission incorrectly.
Their product isn’t positioned in a way creators want to promote.
Affiliates are not just extra traffic. They are distribution partners.
If your product, commission structure, and shop setup are weak, creators simply won’t push it.

The Bigger Picture
Affiliates are one piece of a larger e-commerce system.
Traffic, positioning, consumer psychology, and product quality all matter. When those pieces align, affiliates amplify what is already working.
When they don’t, affiliates expose weaknesses.
That’s why understanding the system matters.
