Content That Sells on TikTok

• The Golden Rule:
• Entertain first, sell second.
• What Works on TikTok Shop:
• • Product demonstrations (show it working!)
• • Problem-solution videos
• • Before and after
• • Unboxing and reviews
• • Lifestyle integration
• What Doesn't Work:
• • Hard selling 'Buy now!' videos
• • Obvious advertisements
• • Low-quality content
• • Long, boring descriptions
• Remember: TikTok users want to be entertained, not sold to.

The Hook-Story-Offer Framework

• Structure of a Selling Video:
• 1. Hook (0-3 seconds):
• • Stop the scroll immediately
• • Use attention-grabbing opener
• • Examples: 'Wait, what?!', 'POV…', 'This changed everything'
• 2. Story/Demo (3-12 seconds):
• • Show the product in action
• • Demonstrate the problem and solution
• • Keep it visual and engaging
• 3. Offer (12-15 seconds):
• • Soft call to action
• • 'Link in bio' or tap the shopping bag
• • Create urgency if applicable
• Total Video Length: 15-30 seconds ideal

Product Demonstration Best Practices

• Visual Impact:
• • Good lighting (natural light best)
• • Clean background
• • Multiple angles
• • Close-up shots of key features
• Sound & Music:
• • Trending sounds boost visibility
• • Voice-over adds personality
• • Use TikTok's built-in music library
• Filming Tips:
• • Use phone camera (iPhone preferred)
• • Film vertically (9:16 ratio)
• • Shoot multiple takes
• • Natural, not over-produced
• Editing Apps:
• • CapCut (free, TikTok-owned)

UGC Content & Creators

• What is UGC?
• User-Generated Content = Content made by regular people (not obviously ads).
• Why UGC Works:
• • Feels authentic and trustworthy
• • Relatable to viewers

• Getting UGC Content:
• • Hire UGC creators (UK/US based)
• • Send them product samples
• • They create content for you
• Where to Find Creators:
• • Collabstr, Billo, JoinBrands
• • TikTok Creator Marketplace
• • Instagram/TikTok outreach
• Cost:
• • $50-200 per video (varies by creator)
• • Worth the investment for quality content

• • Minimum: 1-2 videos per day
• • Ideal: 3-5 videos per day
