TikTok can still work for affiliate marketing, but authenticity matters. I’d recommend creating genuinely helpful videos instead of making every post feel promotional.

dont just sell your products, build an audiance, a cult following, reveal hidden secrets about supply chain, competitors etc to build trust and bring value to your users. build a world around your brand, stronger the world better the credibility. this will bring your reccomendations more trust and reputition. this guy on instagram orenjohn seems to be doing it really well (not affiliated with him)

it still works, we’ve had better results by picking one niche and testing different hooks instead of just posting random stuff, what niche are u promoting?

Yes, it can still work, but I’d focus less on chasing viral views and more on videos that attract the right buyers. My biggest lesson: test different hooks early—one small change can make a huge difference in conversions.
Accounts must be warmed up before putting in affiliate links in ur bio because you can be instantly shadowbanned cloaked prelanders should also be prepared.

Absolutely, tiktok can still be great for affiliate marketing in 2026. My biggest lesson, dont focus on selling, focus on making content people actually want to watch. Hook viewers in the first 2-3 seconds, stay consistent, and test different angles

The most important thing to me when growing on TikTok is consistency; you need to be persistent in creating and posting regularly that is the key to success.

Still useful
My biggest lesson: don’t chase views alone—find a content angle that attracts people who might actually buy. A smaller targeted audience can be worth far more than a random viral hit.

Very useful, but the way of doing things has changed completely. TikTok is no longer a place where you post sensational videos and slap on a link to get orders. Users are getting smarter, while the algorithm increasingly prioritizes content that keeps viewers engaged longer and provides real value.
Indeed, sometimes that very first minute can either work or ruin everyhing.
I would experiment with the opening of my video.

Had a deep-dive educational carousel video sit at around 450 views for 3 weeks, then it picked up and hit 120,000 views with no changes on my end.

Yes, I agree. Good hooks and regular posting is generally more important than trying to follow all trends.I would also try various CTA buttons and see which content brings conversions.

Yes, it is profitable, but the progress at the beginning can feel slow. The best way is to use TikTok Shop for native, in-app checkouts to drastically reduce friction instead of using external links.
