E556: Why You Should Be Using TikTok Shop

Aaron Hughes makes his second appearance on the Ecomcrew Podcast to talk about all things Tiktok Shop, and why people should start leveraging the platform for their ecommerce businesses.  Today's episode is sponsored by Clearco, a company that provides ecommerce businesses with working capital to fund inventory, marketing, shipping and logistics, and more! Check them out today!  During my last eCommerceFuel Live Trip, the one common topic that frequently came up was  about was how good Tiktok Shop was for their businesses.  Unfortunately, ice packs don't really have a passionate audience, so I brought in someone who's products have had a significant uplift from TikTok Shop alone. That's why I've invited Aaron Hughes on the podcast today!  Aaron Hughes is no stranger on the podcast but he's back to talk about how Tiktok Shop has performed for his business, the impacts the platform has had on his business, and a few tips for people who haven't bit the bullet yet.  Timestamps 0:00 - Intro  0:33 - Sponsor Segment  1:43 - Recording Issues  3:03 - TikTok Shop for E-commerce Marketing 7:59 - Getting Set Up on TikTok Shop    9:17 - The TikTok Ban 12:00 - Aaron's Strategies for Tiktok Shop 15:33 - How long did it take to start being successful?  17:32 - Top 3 Tips for TikTok Shop 20:25 - Leveraging Controversial Topics 21:53 - Building a Foundation on TikTok  23:00 - Aaron's New AI Listing Tool 27:32 - Mike's Last Question  The Big Takeaways Don't discount your products' potential performance on TikTok Shop, whether they're a commodity or not.  TikTok has become what everyone thought Walmart was going to be.  Aaron, thank you again for coming on the podcast.
