    Thank you for this video, Angela! I’ve toyed around with the idea of selling on TikTok, but I wasn’t finding any info on the whole discount thing and didn’t know if sellers were only receiving for instance, $1.77 for their $40 item. This video is soooooo helpful! Thank you. Happy New Year, everyone!

    • @johndoeee888

      Tiktok gives the discount to buyers. The seller still receives the whole amount. Tiktok shop is doing this to get more buyers on platform since its relatively new. But right now it starting to get alot of drop shippers like etsy.

    Great information! I wrote off doing this because there is no way I could do as many orders as you in three days. I have a single head. Since you mentioned that you can cap your inventory, that makes it more feasible for us smaller businesses. Love how much you've grown your business and family. ♥

      this is a very informative video. Here's my problem with these platforms. You have to have an unusual item, a diy craft, something that people really want. For example, if everybody on TikTok is a custom T-shirt shop, then that space is going to be crowded. How do you stand out?
      There's going to be a crowded space at Tik Tok and everybody on Posh, Whatnot, etc. is going to rush to Tik Tok.

My kids keep telling me I need to get more into tiktok, but my retail inventory isn't huge right now. Question, I use Etsy to ship my Etsy orders, but could I also use Shopify to fulfill? Do you know if shipping is about the same cost? How would you recommend setting shipping prices if you have both Etsy/Shopify? Is one rate better than the other for buyers? Thank you for your tips!

    I am new to the business and I do not know how the copy right works here. I read about it and I know they are overprotective regarding they characters or anything what might be resemblance of they products.

    Hey chica. Did they make you flip to a business account? When we tried our shop, it wouldn’t let us keep our creator status, and it feels like switching to a business account tanked our views. Looking at yours gives me hope… are you paying for any advertising, to keep your views up, now that you’ve gotten established? If you are doing advertising, are you comfortable sharing a ballpark of what you had to spend to maintain traction? Your video taught me so much, just really trying to figure out if we can swing this.

    Tiktok charges way less for shipping versus what we're paying so, we had to pull our products out to stop the sales til we could figure out the shipping settings.
