How to Become a TikTok Shop Affiliate (Without 1,000 Followers)

The TikTok Shop affiliate program allows you to promote other sellers’ products in your videos.

When you make a sale from a video or a live stream, you’ll gain a commission from it.

If you’re a creator with over 1,000 followers, this is the easiest way to make money on TikTok.

This is because you don’t need to set up your own shop—you just need to add the product in your video.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to join and become a TikTok shop affiliate without 1,000 or 5,000 followers (affiliate marketing program).

How to become a TikTok Shop affiliate

Join TikTok Shop Affiliate

Here’s how to join the TikTok Shop affiliate program:

  3. Select “TikTok Shop for Creator” (under “Monetization”).
  4. Select “Apply” to apply to the TikTok Shop affiliate program.
  5. Wait for 1 to 3 business days for your application to be accepted!

Tip: Once you’re accepted into the program, you can start finding products to sell in TikTok Shop, record a video of yourself showcasing the product, and add the product to the actual video itself on the posting page.

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a “temporary” business.
  5. On the home page connect your shop to a TikTok account by selecting “Get started”.

Disclaimer #1: Do note that this method is very risky because TikTok might shut down your shop at any time and you won’t have access to the program because it might violate the Terms of Service.

Disclaimer #2: I strongly recommend hitting the 1,000 followers requirement and apply to the TikTok Shop affiliate program normally to avoid getting banned.
