I Tried TikTok Dropshipping as a Beginner (Went VIRAL)
TikTok, the popular video-sharing social media platform, has gained immense popularity over the past few years. From dance challenges to viral trends, TikTok has become a playground for creative expression and viral content. As an aspiring online entrepreneur, I decided to harness the power of TikTok to try my hand at dropshipping. Little did I know, my journey would take an unexpected turn, leading to a viral sensation.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, dropshipping is a business model where you set up an online store without maintaining any inventory. Instead, you identify products from manufacturers or suppliers and market them to customers. Once an order is placed, the supplier directly fulfills the order and ships it to the customer, relieving you of the burden of inventory management and shipping logistics.
Eager to tap into TikTok’s massive user base, I researched trending products and found a quirky gadget that seemed perfect for dropshipping. With high hopes, I set up my online store, created eye-catching product descriptions, and established a social media presence. I then turned to TikTok to promote my store and showcase the product.
To my surprise, my first TikTok video introducing the product went viral within a matter of hours. The video amassed thousands of views, likes, and shares, catapulting my store’s visibility. A combination of catchy music, witty captions, and showcasing the product’s unique features seemed to strike a chord with TikTok users. Overnight, my store experienced an influx of orders.
However, dealing with such a high volume of orders as a beginner was no easy feat. Coordinating with suppliers, ensuring product quality, and maintaining timely shipments required careful attention. Additionally, I had to provide timely customer support, addressing queries and handling any potential issues that arose. Despite the challenges, I was determined to deliver an outstanding customer experience.
As word of mouth spread, my store gained more attention not only on TikTok but also through other social media platforms. Instagram influencers began to showcase my product, further fuelling its popularity. The positive reviews and feedback garnered through these platforms drove even more traffic to my store, resulting in a substantial increase in sales.
However, it is essential to note that the viral nature of TikTok can be both a blessing and a curse. While the sudden surge in orders was overwhelming, I discovered that viral success on TikTok can be short-lived. As the hype surrounding my product waned, so did the constant influx of orders. It became crucial to adapt my marketing strategies and identify new trends to ensure a sustainable business.
Despite the challenges and rollercoaster ride, my venture into TikTok dropshipping proved to be a valuable learning experience. It taught me the importance of choosing the right product, understanding market demands, and effectively utilizing social media platforms for promotion. It also highlighted the need to stay updated with changing trends and to continually innovate to remain relevant in this ever-evolving digital landscape.
In conclusion, my TikTok dropshipping journey as a beginner was nothing short of extraordinary. Going viral on TikTok not only provided me with a surge in sales and exposure but also taught me invaluable lessons about running an online business. While the viral success may have subsided, the experience has ignited a passion within me to continue seeking new opportunities in the e-commerce realm. For anyone considering dropshipping or exploring TikTok as a marketing tool, my advice would be to embrace the process, learn from the challenges, and stay open to the unexpected twists and turns that may arise along the way.

Congrats kid! You inspired me. I'm not selling viral products, but rather unique niche products that aren't viral at all, but the tips on content creations will help me out a lot especially on tiktok because I mainly use instagram right now. Thanks again. – Majestic Gang
lowkey the knock got me
bros mikey
Getting 750k views and ANYTHING less than $2,000 is genuinely disgusting, you clearly have the ability to do the exact same marketing as everyone else, and you have decent editing skills. This is where you learn that the real issue has always been your products. You constantly choose unintriguing products and things that rarely anyone would wanna buy, just things that people would interact with. You need to do better and find something that speaks to someone so much that it entices them to buy or else they'll feel like they're missing out.
I've organically marketed up $300,000 in the past year with products I came up with, just had other people produce and ship, and its been a lifesaver as im not selling some little toy that people would just be like haha thats cool! and scroll by without thinking twice, i've been giving them products that they see and feel so strongly about that they need to have it, none of these products give a sense of familiarity; they all want to be unique and trendy. The day you find something that people can see and realize they would really feel better having it around is the day you truly start making money. Obviously a little toy that jumps up and down, and a practical slingshot in the form of a pen, isn't appealing to anyone besides maybe a parent who wants to get their kid a toy, and even then? You're pushing it. It's always been in the product. TikTok Dropshipping isn't an issue, nor will it probably ever be, it's the products and the people who try to make guides teaching you how to dropship on tiktok. You'll keep being enticed by how every other "guru" says to follow the burner account method and #tiktokmademybuyit bullcrap but until you find or make a product that not only speaks volumes to yourself but something you know would speak to others (doesn't even matter if its niche or tiny, if it makes people so enthralled to want to buy it, that's what important and how you can scale), then you won't make any true money and you'll probably lose time and money in the process. What you're doing now isn't necessarily beneficial knowledge that you can keep growing off of and building forward until you apply it to an actually decent product that'll make people purchase whether or not it's dropshipped. Legitimately the only AliExpress-type dropshipping product you can just find and get routed to your store through a shopify app that can actually drive conversions right now are rebranded makeup/skincare products. People are enticed to buy them because of their familiarity with difficulties whether its acne, dry skin, or a whole assortment of issues. None of these toys or knick-knacks are going to cut it in a digitalized generation of teens and young adults mainly running the state of the app who could care less about these toys.
do you make a new tiktok account for every new product?
Your content are realistic and has helped me start dropshipping and I’m making hundreds of dollars on a weekly basis…thanks for the inspiration
sorry im a bit confused, how do you dropship on tiktok shop? dont you have to get all the stuff in stock to sell. ive got some products but i dont want to physically b

hello
can we talk bro?
Once I receive the order, I put in the customer's address and they will collect it from AliExpress. The AliExpress label and packaging will be there, my store name will not be there, then the customer will find me as a dropshipper.
What to do now??????
Edgar
Nice job brother
hello @theminisnipe
Eyyyoooo I had that toy like 15 years ago
Do you create a whole new store for every product or just add it to your store?
Any tips on finding a winning product? Do you simply stay on tiktok or go to other websites and see what’s trending?
Can somebody please tell me how I can get those green subtitles in the TikTok videos??
Do you use VPN for posting your videos at IG and TT?
Hi! You create a new Instragram account and you have views at once? 'Cause when i create a new IG acc i get no views first week and after that about 1-20 views on each video. I don't understand why it happens
can you link the account for inspiration purposes?
Bro, congratulations! Great video. Quick question though, how do you make people to go to your website? Doesn't TikTok require you to have 1000 followers before being able to add link to your bio? Can you please post some guide how to set up TikTok account for leads? Thanks!

I started drop shipping 5 months ago and test many products and made $600
Nice editing bro
