TIKTOK SHOP ADS

💾 TikTok Shop’s $9 Million Secret
Insights from Jake Abrams

A company named “Microingredients” has shockingly amassed $9,080,000 from TikTok Shop in just 30 days. But there’s a twist—it's all built on a fabrication.

Affiliate Dominance:

Microingredients’ success is largely driven by its affiliates, with 99% of their revenue from TikTok Shop sourced this way. Notably, 18 affiliates have each generated over $100K in revenue in the last month. This level of affiliate contribution is extraordinary.


Impressive Sales Volumes:

Despite an average product price of around $25, the sales volume is through the roof. In the past 30 days alone, 175,850 units of Collagen Peptides were sold. The numbers keep skyrocketing every time the sales data updates.


The Ad That’s Killing It:

This woman started CRYING after taking this collagen đŸ€Ż #microingredients #microingredientscollagen #antiaging #antiagingskincare #hairheal... See more

One popular ad on TikTok may sound familiar: 

“Did you see the video of the woman who started crying because her wrinkles vanished after she started using collagen?” 

This Hook is particularly effective due to its perceived authenticity, promise of immediate results, and the FOMO it creates.

The ad typically features an influencer showcasing Microingredients' collagen powder, claiming it was used by the woman in the anecdote.

This is the exact narrative widely used by most of their affiliates. 

But when investigated, the so-called viral video does not exist—nor does the woman. A quick Google Search revealed that the images from these TikTok clips are actually from an older article about Botox and fillers.

And that’s the masterpiece, leverage affiliates, focus on high-volume sales, and craft captivating hooks to thrive on TikTok Shop.
