Launching my first store soon but it is actually Tiktok Shop.
Hardest thing so far as a beginner for my product is finding a manufacture (in the US) that doesn’t have a really high MOQ, and does fulfillment and shipping that meets Tiktok’s requirements. And also cheap enough to where I still have good margins.
Plan as of right now is buying products from China, and expediting the shipping via air to Tiktok Fulfillment Center. You may think that’s more expensive but it’s about half of the price or better honestly.
Any recommendations starting out? Plan is to do affiliate marketing. Test the waters with about 100-200 products. 25-30% for affiliate commission. My niche is really popular right now and I have only seen 1-2 brands killing it but I think I can do better.
Would appreciate all advice I can get. Last time I tried dropshipping I was a broke Sophomore in college.
