. TIKTOK MASTERY Techniques and methods that I've used to reach $3000+ a month from TikTok.. BY: CHEPE CHEPERSON INTRODUCTION Look, I'm not gonna bore you with a long and sappy story about how I grew up in a run down neighborhood and ate nothing but potatoes as a kid. I had a perfectly normal life and like you, I got into Internet marketing because of 1 main goal - make money while not going to an actual job and basically be your own boss. I understood early on that time is something you will never get back, but you can always make more money. That's where making money on the internet shines the most. You can get rewarded greatly while not putting in 80 hours a week. There could be many reasons why you'd want this. For me it was freedom to constantly travel and sleep as long as I wanted (really important). Ever since I started trying to make money online, I was always looking for methods that are easy to set up and are long lasting. That's exactly what I'm going to share in this Ebook right now.. You've probably heard about a little platform called TikTok with more than 1'000'000'000 users. It's a short form video sharing platform with one huge difference from other platforms like youtube and Instagram. Most of your content (95%) is viewed by people who are NOT your followers. This comes with one huge advantage. If you post a lot of videos, you have a big chance to go viral and reach huge, untapped audiences. . That's perfect if you want to rapidly grow your audience and send traffic to an affiliate link, promote your service or grow your business. So in this ebook I'm going to show awesome different ways I've made up to 3k a month from tiktok that you can use to start making money from just your phone. Not only that, I'll provide you with tools and methods to get content, show that content to the USA audience and stay under the radar. There will be 4 main parts to this ebook - 3 account breakdowns, each with different strategies inside and a help section where you'll find tools, best practices and other tips and tricks like how to target the USA audience. Enough with the intro, let's start with account breakdown number 1. ACCOUNT 1 MY PERSONAL CRYPTO TIKTOK ACCOUNT My Current followers 15.2k, Started 25 days ago. This is an account in which I show my face as I want to grow my personal brand and later redirect these people to Youtube. In my opinion, if you show your face, you will not only grow much quicker on the platform, but also people will trust you more and buy whatever you're promoting. That's especially important in niches like Crypto, finance and fitness where trust is very important. Be advised: not showing your face won't impact the views you get just the rate of people who decide to follow which is much higher for personal accounts. If you want to build a long term brand, I recommend that you create a personal account in which you show face. Even if you don't speak a lick of English, you can still target and interact with the USA audience. I'll show a little trick later on how to do just that, but first let's talk about monetization. I'm monetizing this account in a unique way. I'm sending people over to telegram where a bot I made posts new crypto coins that are listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko and every once in a while I post affiliate link to CoinBase. For each signup I earn about 10USD in Bitcoin which is awesome. But that's not it. I'm working with a developer and we've made a signal group that I'm charging 27$ per month and currently, we have close to 100 members. That in total brings in more than 2000$ every month and apart from me posting on TikTok, it's relatively passive which is great. Now I don't expect you to develop your own bots and telegram groups, but this just shows you that unique twists pay off. You can easily just have an affiliate link with prelander in your tiktok bio and make money so don't get scared. This is the funnel that I use to monetize my Crypto account; Coin Base 1. People watch my videos and gain interest in product I promote. 2. The click link in my bio which takes them to my prelander 3. From there, they either go sign up to my telegram group or go directly to coinbase and create an account. Content Breakdown: My absolute favourite type of content to make is just copy pasting tiktoks that have gone extremely viral and replicate them with my own twist. Now im my niche, which is crypto for this account, most viral tiktoks are; 1. Guides (hard to make, takes a long time) EXAMPLE 2. Crypto picks (you need real knowledge to make good picks) EXAMPLE 3. Reactions to memes and tweets (bingo) EXAMPLE Reactions to memes and trending topics are PERFECT content to make when starting out for a multitude of reasons. They're extremely easy and fast to make, you can make 10+ a day ( you only need 3-5 videos posted per day ), you DON'T need to talk while still showing your face which is important for branding and TRUST and the viral factor is HUGE. To make these tiktoks, you need to find recent viral memes or tweets from authorities in your niche. Go to google and write “NICHE memes reddit”. For my niche that would be “crypto memes reddit” Find a big subreddit, sort posts by top rated and choose 1 month time frame. Now choose memes that are not videos and are mostly text based. Then go over to tiktok, create a new video and choose the greenscreen image effect. Place your meme on top of the frame and choose a sound from a viral tiktok in your niche. (see finding sounds section) And then record yourself just making an expression. Here are some of my top performing ones. And if we take a look at analytics, you'll see that most of my audience for these videos are from the USA even when this account is a Europe based account. Generally, this is the same for all tiktoks that go viral for me. Your video length should be no longer than 7-9 seconds. Why? Because if your video is short, people won't have time to read the meme in time and they will watch your video multiple times which is a HUGE signal for tiktok that your video is good and should be pushed to a wider audience. Now, write up a description by including a question about the meme or your niche in general. This will generate comments which is another good signal for the algorithm. This type of content is awesome to kick start your account growth, but what about making actual money? Well, for that you need a different type of content - explainer content. You can still make this kind of content without showing your face and still get lots of views while driving traffic to your bio link. In this type of content we want to show BENEFITS of our product (that we're promoting in bio link) and indirectly market it. I'll start with some examples from my account; Click to View Click to View And they didn't even get that many views, but that's the beauty of TikTok. I just showed the benefits of joining my free group which basically are that you will be the first one to get notified about new crypto projects listed on coin market cap and coin gecko. It's nothing that special if you think about it, but still, I was able to generate almost 800 signups with just two videos in about 2 weeks time. This type of content is more difficult to make, because you have to think outside the box a little. Here's some ideas that I came up with for different niches that would work perfectly for tiktok. Use these ideas to generate your own twists for your niches and you will get views. For weight loss niche: Find a video on youtube of some fitness influencer where they show before and after results. Make a short video and put a text to voice over it and you're ready to go! For Dog Training Niche: Find videos on youtube and instagram where people are giving dog training tips and cut them to fit a shorter form video. For Make money niche: Show your earning daily (this is too easy) For Travel niche: Make lists of top destinations with pictures from google. For Physical product based niche: Find the product being used or reviewed on youtube and cut it to fit shorter form video. What I've found so far is that if you have a half decent product that you want to push, you don't need to make high quality videos like you would for facebook ads. All it takes is that you show the benefits of the product and show the product being in use. Kinda like I showed above, in my crypto bot example. I just showed the RESULTS of my product and people started asking where you can get it and tried to find it in BIO ACCOUNT 2 AMAZON AFFILIATE FACELESS MONEY MAKING MACHINE Since you're probably familiar with amazon associates dashboard, let's start with earnings; DISCLAIMER: about 1-2k of these earnings are from another project. I'm going to be revealing a method that you can set up easily, one that will pretty much earn you cash right away and that you can scale as much as you want. In essence, I created a micro amazon affiliate website designed to make people CLICK as soon as possible and drove traffic to the site using Instagram Reels and TikTok Let's start with the website itself. It's a very simple one page website containing 16 deals - Branded products that are currently on sale on amazon. This website has one goal and one goal only. Get the visitor to amazon AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. We don't want people reading articles, comparing products or diving in too deep. We want the visitor to move to amazon and let the amazon do the converting for you. The whole website pretty much looked like this. Simple and with one goal - make people click ASAP If you didn't know, Amazon is a conversion machine. Even if the visitor doesn't buy the product he clicked on, he most likely will buy something else and guess what you still get commission for that. So if you're promoting a 20$ hammer and someone goes on to buy a 5000$ lawn mower, you will get a fat commision for that as well. As you can see I've focused on one niche - power tools that are currently on sale on Amazon. Next comes the traffic source main tiktok and secondary instagram account. I created an account @powertoolsteals on instagram which essentially focuses on a niche where lots of people need and use power tools woodworking and carpentry. That's the kind of content I repost on the account. Unfortunately my TikTok account (where I was the most active) for this project got banned because I was spamming DM and comments too much while testing a new method, but I can still give you a pretty clear idea of how things work. This is the starter setup I got going.. Simple one page website with Niche specific IG account and/or Tiktok account. I suggest only sticking with tiktok for this. I chose IG to test out the reels feature when it rolled out and my conclusion is that TikTok is much better for this kind of venture. Why this system works so well is quite simple. People LOVE deals. Not only that, but people TRUST amazon. Combine these two things and you got a high converting money making system. High traffic potential from tiktok + High conversion rates of Amazon = Proffit. From posting 2 reels on IG I made $26 on Amazon And this is how much I made from TikTok. DISCLAIMER: about 1-2k of these earnings are from another project. Sourcing content If you're worried about content production for social media, I recommend going with this account model. Not only you don't have to EVER show your face, but finding content is so easy. For my power tools niche, I posted mainly Fail and Win clips I found on youtube. To adapt the youtube content to Tiktok you need to do following; Go to youtube and write: “Your niche + Win/Fail” For my niche that would be “Carpentry fails wins” why carpentry? Because I want to target people who are carpenters because these people use a lot of power tools. You could also target DIY, WoodWorking, etc with this setup and still get traffic. Next, choose a video that has the most views and download it. When that's done, use a video editing software to cut up the video in each individual clip and save them in a separate folder. Posting to TikTok. Before you post to tiktok, follow a bunch of accounts in the carpentry niche and see save sounds of tiktoks that went viral for these creators. This is IMPORTANT. Then, create a new tiktok, upload one of your clips and fit it to screen. Then, in blank spaces add some stickers, text where it fits the video and generally spice it up a little. Here's an example of a good tiktok; LINK For caption, write “Unbelievably cheap power tools on Amazon. Link in Bio.” I used variations of this phrase for pretty much all my tiktoks. This is a really easy way to earn cash with amazon affiliates and tiktok. Now I do realise that there are better niches than power tools to push on tiktok, but I thought that's a low competition niche and it worked really well for me. I think the real money with amazon affiliates is in GADGETS niche where you showcase cool gadgets that you found on amazon. Here's the most famous example; @TheJungleBadger ACCOUNT 3 SIMPLE AFFILIATE MARKETING STRATEGY So this is not actually my account, but a friend of mine. That said, I know exactly how much this account made and the strategies behind it. The account handle is @austindhaffiliate Before you learn about how much this account has actually made, I want you to go check the account out and see the kind of content the guy is making. Then ask yourself - could you do something similar? Now go to the next page to see how much he's making.. For monetizing, he uses a well known "making money" niche affiliate program called "Legendary marketer" They have many different products but are mainly focused on people who have 0 knowledge in internet marketing which is perfect for tiktok, because it's an easy sell. You're selling a dream or opportunity and if it only costs like $30, many people will buy it. Legendary marketer is super optimized to get sales once you send them traffic. They even have SALES TEAM who call people who left their contact details, but didn't buy to pursue them into buying. That makes this affiliate program very proffitable for guys like Austin who are kind of the first step of peoples "making money online" journey. So far, Austin has had about 2000 leads for his affiliate offer in bio which roughly translates to $30,000. Read that again. Now, Austin does not use ANY of content methods I posted. He's taken even simpler route. He just records himself and writes WHY affiliate marketing is awesome. And while he is not getting hundreds of thousands views to his videos, it's enough to earn a full time living. In my opinion, this account captures the true essence for marketing on TikTok. DON'T STOP UPLOADING Tips and Tools section How to target the USA audience. This is one of the most popular pain points for us marketers on tiktok face. You create an account, start uploading but your content is only shown to your country's audience. That generally sucks (See Importance of geo location below) if you live in a small country, but want to target the USA audience. Luckly, there are some strategies that you can use to target your USA audience. Let's start with the easiest one that has worked for me. You will need to order a Sim card from the USA and have a separate phone + VPN with a kill switch. Tiktok mainly gets your location data from the sim card inserted. To get a USA sim card, go to ebay.com and type in “USA sim card”. Find a good deal from someone who sells them a lot and order a couple. They aren't that expensive, just 5-7 dollars a pop. When you've ordered the sim cards, you will need a separate phone. Do a complete factory reset on your phone, insert the sim card, disable all location services. Then download NordVPN and buy the cheapest plan. Select USA server and enable killswitch. When that's done, download TIKTOK and sign up using email (Important). You're all set and should be seeing the USA audience and your videos should be shown to the USA audience as well. What to do if you don't want to buy sim cards and a separate phone? Well, there's a solution, but it's not 100% proof. What you'll need to do is use hashtags and sounds only creators from USA use. That way, you increase the chances of your tiktoks being shown a little bit in that country and if they go viral, most of your views will come from that geo. This method DOES NOT guarantee that your content will be shown in the USA, but it increases the chances alot. How to kickstart your growth, get indexed by tiktok algorithm FASTER This is important for new accounts. What you want to do is show tiktok that you're active member who likes, commends and engages with others and not like a spammer who only spams videos or comments. To do that, go to the explore page and find creators from your niche. Then, follow a bunch of them, like their videos and leave comments. Save some videos aswell. Then, go to your FYP and use the platform like a normal user would. I do this for about 20 minutes every day and actually get ideas for content that I can make from watching others. Bottom line is that you want to show the algorithm that you're an engaged user on their platform. FINDING SOUNDS Before starting to post, I always save 3050 sounds. It helps the workflow and it's easier to make tiktoks when you have your own library of sounds saved. To do that, I got to FYP and save all the sounds that I like AND that have gone viral for someone. I do this every day at least once to find sounds that are currently trending. FINDING TRENDS On tiktok it's essential that you follow trends before they reach their peak. To be on top of trends, follow these people and watch other “Trend Alert” creators Trend alert people I follow; 1. @gingermarketer 2. @jtbarnett 3. @Wavewyld 4. @joshthemarketer 5. @Chooseyoursocial I've had the best results following trends posted by these people. IMPORTANCE OF A PRELANDER You don't want to just send your traffic directly to affiliate offers. While you CAN make money that way, you're leaving a lot on the table. A prelander not only improves your conversion rates by a ton, but you can also capture your audience by getting their email address, or my favourite, getting them to join a telegram group. People will click your link in bio because you somehow enticed them to do that with your videos. Oftentimes people will get cold feet and not actually purchase what you want to sell. Prelander is there to CONVERT your traffic into buyers. I keep my prelanders short and simple. Each page is there to serve a specific purpose. For example, If I want to quickly get a sale, I'll either write a personal story about how that particular product helped me (and make it REAL personal so people can relate) Or simply make a page that contains a lot of reviews for that product, building trust and increasing the chance that people will buy. For an Amazon affiliate, all you really need is a bunch of products that are currently on sale on amazon to make people click to amazon quickly, but for other affiliate offers like the dog training one, you will usually need to pursue people more. CHOOSING A NICHE. Niche is VERY important for this for two reasons; 1. Growth on Tiktok 2. Monetizability. I always chose niches that I have at least some interest in to be able to understand your followers better and provide better content for them and make it more fun for you. For that reason my 3 main niches are crypto & making money, Dog training (I have 4 dogs..) and Powertools & Carpentry (I like to build stuff) I have real passion in those niches and that makes it so much easier to make content for them and people like to follow AUTHENTICITY which is hard to fake! I would never choose a fitness niche. While I do like sports, I just don't have that kind of passion for fitness to be an authority in that niche. Use these guidelines to select a niche if your passions are not profitable or you can't define them, or simply don't want to make content for them. 1. Are there other big accounts in the niche with good engagement? 2. Are there a wide selection of products on Amazon or other affiliate offers that are well suited that you could push for your audience? 3. Is it easy to produce or source content for this niche? If the answer is YES to all 3 of these questions, generally that's a good niche to go for. Here's a couple of good niches that you I could see exploding on Tiktok with wide selection of products on AMAZON Furniture for small apartments, Fitness equipment, PC components & peripherals, Makeup, Camping & Hiking equipment, Making money online. If you can't figure out a niche to pursue, just select any of the above and I almost guarantee that within a month of consistently posting good content, you will earn some money or at least start getting serious traffic IMPORTANCE OF GEO LOCATION If it's not your first day in the world of internet marketing, you probably know that geo location of your traffic plays a huge role in how much money you'll make. For example, if your traffic comes from primarily tier 3 countries (India, Philippines, African countries, etc.) you will have a hard time making money simply because people in those countries don't have a lot of disposable income to spend on things that you're selling. I'm going to share my experience with TikTok Geo locations and what impact it has on your income from those platforms. For my Crypto account which is primarily Europe based account (except when tiktoks go viral and reach 90% USA audience) I'm still able to earn a lot of money while targeting European audience. There's a couple of reasons for this; First of all, there is a lot less competition for the same niche which allows my content to easily reach thousands of people with relatively small account. Second, Europeans have practically the same interests as Americans (in my niche atleast) and have the same if not more expandable cash to spend. In short, that means less competition and higher conversion rates for my product and affiliate products. So if you're Europe base, think twice before ordering sim card and trying to target USA audience. While it can be hugely beneficial, it's still profitable to target your local Geos. If you're outside of Europe, USA, Australia and other T1 regions, I don't think that you can build a profitable tiktok account without buying USA sim cards and targeting USA Geo. If we compare side by side, USA is still the most profitable geo location to target and has the most room to grow long term. That's why I'm also growing USA accounts with the simcard + vpn method. Making Content if you're incredibly, unstopabbly lazy and just refuse to be creative. Content is King on Tiktok as is the volume of content. The more you post, the people you'll reach. But what to do if you can't come up with any ideas and just want to put out content without really thinking about it? I'm going to share a method that I briefly touched in the 1st account breakdown. You can use this to crank out tens of videos with ease. Essentially, you're going to find valuable piece of information or better yet, a ready made image and put it on moving background that suits your niche. Here's an example from Inspirational niche; LINK To find what to put in these videos, go to twitter and type in your niche in the search, for example Dog Training. Then find a tweet that kind of makes sense and is somewhat valuable. Screenshot it, crop it out and put it on a nice, moving background. Or you can go to google, type in “your niche + memes reddit” and find memes relating to your niche which you, again, put on a moving background. Now all that's left to do is add a viral sound and boom, just like that, you've created a piece of content that has as much potential to go viral as any other video you see on the platform. BUILDING A PERSONAL BRAND WITH NO TALKING What if you want to build a personal brand, but don't want to or cant speak english too good? I got you covered. TikTok has made this so incredibly simple for us, it's like they WANT us to use their platform to make money! TikTok offers really good text-to-speech option that you can use to make it seem like you're an english speaking person. Examples from my own profile that have done well; LINK LINK They're also easy to make. Just record a video, put some text on, tap and hold on the text and select voice over. That's it, you're done! Use TikTok To Rank YT videos I actually used TikTok to boost my youtube video and I'd like to share what happened. So youtube works kind of similar to tiktok and other media sharing social media sites, meaning that watchtime is really important. So what I did was I made a youtube video in completely different niche than my channel originally was (I made a crypto video) and then I made a quick summary on tiktok and linked video in TikTok Bio. And here's the stats for my YT vids that I promoted Compare that to my previous video stats; Here's what I think happened. People on tiktok watched my video and wanted to learn more. They went to youtube and watched a large portiono of the video, resulting in good watchtim. Youtube then pushed my video to wider audience through browse features. More experimentation with this is needed to say 100% that tiktok caused this, but either way it's an interesting coincidence. Closing words TikTok is one of the greatest opportunities for a modern day marketer like yourself. You might have heared about how easy it was to make money back in 2008 with black hat seo. You could rank any bullshit article and make money. Well guess what, it's now as easy to grow on tiktok. You're not late to the party. It's up to you to take full advantage of it. People are starting up million dollar worth brands with free tiktok traffic so you can surely make some good income. Just start by replicating one of accounts I broke down and don't stop uploading. Really, don't stop. ever. Money will come. - Written by Chepe
