After reading through this thread, I thought I'd give the TikTok CPA "method" a whirl.

I'm using an old account I made back in the day but never really used. It was already set up as a "business" account, so I could have a link in the bio.

The niche? Men's essentials. I didn't want to overthink it, so I aimed broad instead of going super specific and ending up with little traffic.

Got back on the account on September 19th, to be precise. It had a big fat zero for followers and likes. Set up a pretty "basic" linktree, all with Amazon affiliate links. Also, I've thrown in a Facebook pixel for potential retargeting later on (you never know).

I'm dropping 2 videos daily, one in the morning and one in the evening (GMT+1).

So far, I've put out 9 videos. They ain't getting tons of views (ranging from 600 to 5.7K), except for one that hit 49.6K.

I did sponsor that one a bit at the start (dropped 16 euros for 9000 views), then organic traffic did its thing, and it shot up to 49.6K.

On the Amazon side, I've had 232 clicks but no sales. Maybe I'd do better with a shop? But, honestly, setting up a whole store feels like a hassle. Still, it's up for debate.

I'll keep posting vids and keep y'all updated (I'm only 3 days into this thing).

If you've got questions, tips, or anything else, don't hesitate to holler!

Good job mate keep going

Men’s essentials is hot atm BUT it is slowly getting saturated - still money to be made.

My advice to you as someone who owns one of the bigger accounts in your niche is start planning how you are going to grow your network of accounts

No, not bot accounts. You want to eventually get to a point where you have 3-5 big accounts that all boost eachother by using the ‘repost’ feature on TikTok

This will grow the accounts exponentially you can either start dabbling in the - Get x product for free if you follow @secondaccount in 48 hours.

Tried. Tested. Works great.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this journey and niche.

Thanks mate!

I think men's essentials is a good starting point to grow an audience (maybe i'm wrong) and for the moment it's all running good.
There is not that much competitors in my country...

When you say 3-5 big accounts you mean in same niche?

Niches that you can tie in with eachother

Men’s Fitness, Men’s self care, Men’s Fashion etc etc

Then you can piggyback off different audiences under the one umbrella.

Hope that makes sense

Day 5 :

1219 (+600) followers
10.7K (+2831) likes
408 (+79) clicks on products

0 conversion on Amazon
12 (+2) videos


I made a very simple video yesterday which made 63.3K views and the video which had 50K grew up to 78.2K. At this point i start to doubt about the Amazon Affiliates capability i mean not a single conversion i didn't made 1$ lol...
Let's keep the grind
 
Here is the linktree data, CTR is nice lol but i wonder what happen when they click on the product. Do they screenshot and save it for after? Do they screenshot, open the Amazon app and bypass the affiliate link? I don't know, what i know is that i made exactly 0 "pesos"
And i don't know why i have 3 differents clicks number (linktree, facebook pixel and amazon) so i don't know which one i should rely on
