Make money through commerce features?

I am using it, but it's of no benefit. A very small amount of traffic is getting through this feature. Only those creators who get millions of views daily can profit from this.

Have you ever tried using direct calls to action (CTAs) in the video or tagging products/TikTok Shop directly in the video instead of just leaving a link in the Bio? I’ve heard that pinning products directly to the video often results in a much higher conversion rate than external links.
Offering specific incentives really encourages viewers to click the link much more.
For beginners who don’t have much capital yet, do you have any advice on how to get products to review and which reputable affiliate marketing platform is currently the most reliable and easiest for withdrawing commissions?

For a new account that doesn’t have its own products yet, do you think I should start by making genuine experience-based review videos for affiliate marketing, or should I focus on building a knowledge-sharing channel first and only add sales links later?

it should be viewed as part of the content nd not the entire strategy. choose relevant products for ur niche, feature them in your videos naturally nd provide reasons y people should click.generally, helpfful content is more effective compared to putting ur sales links in every single video u produce.

I don't find it very effective either. For me and others who have just set up accounts and don't have many followers yet, it's probably more effective for those with millions of followers.

tiktok shopping and bio links work well for affiliate marketing, but getting traffic to convert needs consistent fresh content.
you can also automate to scale posting across multiple accounts for better reach.

Give each post or placement its own UTM-tagged link so your store analytics shows which piece of content actually drove the sale, not just the click.

i would first try out affiliate products before going ahead nd opening up a complete shop. u should try nd find a product that people from ur niche want, then create interesting videos relatted to the product nd then use the commerce link to get the buyers.

Currently, how many followers does the channel need to have at minimum, or are there any special requirements regarding the type of account?I'd mix both. Make a quick how-to video, then show a product you already own solving that problem. Add a TikTok Shop affiliate link if your account is eligible. No need to buy products just for reviews. Check payout options in your country before joining

Based on your experience, what ratio between purely value-sharing/entertainment videos and videos with sales links included is reasonable for a channel to both grow and optimize revenue?

I really understand how it feels when you’ve just started a channel, have few followers, and when you add links or a shopping cart, the views are often very low and it’s hard to get orders.I think content should be based on viewers’ interests rather than relying too much on the number of followers
