I thought I'd give back by sharing with you guys a strategy I've been utilizing recently to make some money as a way to give thanks for the year 2022 and for getting my shiny presents from Santa.
5 Steps to Affiliate Marketing using TikTok 2023
As always, we appreciate hearing your thoughts.
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
What you need:
- TikTok Account with 1000 followers
- DHgate, Aliexpress, Alibaba affiliate account (easy to get)
- Monitor screen
1. TikTok's Search Function
Using TikTok's search functionality, look for the hashtag #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt. There will be an abundance of films featuring products that dropshippers are pushing.
Additional search functions
To find the newest and most popular products, use the supplied filters to refine your search to either the past 24 hours or the past week, and then sort by number of likes.
This will limit the videos you watch to those with the highest likes within the last 24 or 7 hours.
2. Location your Affiliate Product
Locate the promoted product on your chosen affiliate website by conducting a search for the product's name.
Airpod cleaners are an example of a hot product at the time of writing.
Simply search ‘Airpod Cleaner' on DHgate and look for the listing that corresponds to the selected video.
3. Reveal Video
Record a splice of the video with #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt and ‘reveal' the video's creator by displaying their product for less than $10 on DHgate. (We apologise to BHW dropshippers:p)
This is where your creativity will be required, as recording your monitor screen and clicking around isn't exactly fascinating, but I'm certain you can add your own twists.
4. Redirecting Links
Redirect people from the video to the link in your bio, where you will have either a link tree or your own website listing all the affiliate links to the products on your page.
Include either the same thumbnail as the tiktok video or a clear image of the product so that users know precisely what to click on.
5. Frequent Posting…
Post. The more videos you post, the more people will view them. Comment on viral products with “You can purchase it for $x on my website” Do anything you can “without going on TikTok's shadowbanned spam list” to increase page views.
You will never run out of content, as someone, somewhere, will always be dropshipping via TikTok, and as long as people continue to do so, this approach will continue to exist.

Choose an affiliate offer that use cookies rather than a single product, as any purchase made on the website will result in a commission for you.
Include the lowest-priced item in your stitch, as customers must have a reason to purchase from DHgate rather than the source website.

Having a specific niche, such as selling exclusively cleaning products, may work to your advantage as some Chinese wholesalers provide category-specific affiliate programmes.
Yes, it's unethical, but we're here to make money, not for ethics.
You are not have to utilise #TikTokmademebuyit; instead, select a hashtag used by dropshippers and scrape it for videos.
