Hi @Dan Stoyan. Any chance you could share with the group an SOP for that live selling strategy you outlined on a call a few weeks ago where you give creators small bundles of insane discount codes to get traction on the livestream and gradually increase these over time to try and claw back some profitability? We'd love to test it out so any documentation you have or even just basic SOP with some best practices would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks!

Spoke to Sergio, I asked him about @Brendon Cammell 's fair trading violation. For reference, Tiktok's article about account health just posted yesterday: https://seller-us.tiktok.com/university/essay?knowledge_id=2380042836166443&default_language=en&identity=1 If you scroll to the bottom and click What types of violations are covered under the Account Health Rating? you'll see Fair trading violations, which deal with fraudulent orders, suspicious transactions, and other issues that affect the integrity of our platform. According to Sergio, Sellico works together with a ByteDance account rep who has okayed their business practice for the past 6 years. I'm not sure if this is a turning point where Tiktok is changing their minds, but Sergio says that all their buys are considered rebates, where genuine buyers make genuine purchases but just happen to be rebated on the backend, and technically that's been okay in Tiktok's book. If you still want to engage their services, I'd say buyer beware. They're charging $10 per buy.

Hey everyone. We're about to sign up for the Brands Meet Creators platform for a 3 month test (costs $5K at full price for one brand) but we have been going back and forth with them for some time and they have now offered us an agency rate if we onboard with other brands. The savings can be pretty substantial if a few of us do it together. 1. AGENCY 2-5 BRANDS:  Quarterly $8,000 // Yearly $25,000 ($320 per month per brand) 2. AGENCY 6-12 BRANDS: Quarterly $15,000 // $50,000  ($416 per month per brand) Referral fee if you recommend a brand that signs on to our platform or a Boost is $1000. We're under no illusions about the tool and have done a lot of homework. It's essentially just a really streamlined way to work with creators on retainer. This still only works if you have product market fit (or want to seriously test whether you do) and are able to provide creators with excellent content strategies and generally coach them effectively. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: - Cuts out a lot of manual work in terms of finding, setting up and managing retainer relationships. - Provides access to vetted, motivated creators who are performance driven and either proven on TTS or trying hard to make it work (the creators on the platform pay to be there and attend coaching sessions, etc.) - Good range of pricing, with many unproven creators willing to take on retainers at well under $40 per video (which is our overall target) and also some proven winners who obviously charge more. BMC tells them to set their rates at 25% of their GMV per video or something like that. - Simple, safe payments only once agreed deliverables are met (including revisions). - Centralized communications and all in one affiliate management platform (at least for creators you find there). - Facilitates trust between creators and brands, which we have found to be a big drain with manual outreach, payments and timing of deliverables, etc. Cons: - Currently only around 800-900 creators on the platform (and <50 brands). We're in beauty & personal care and estimate based on the demos we have had that we'll find around 20-40 that we'll actually want to work with and fit our budget, which seems fine for a 3 month test period. BMC have 80K in their total network. - Price. $5K that could otherwise be spent on pure content creation. On the other hand, splitting $8K between 2-5 brands starts to reduce this barrier substantially. - You still need to figure out everything yourself in terms of content strategy, coaching, etc.

Hi friends! I'm Alvin, founder of a movement to inspire and enable you to do what you love, live life to the fullest and live with no regrets. It's called No Ragrets 😄 We make a liver and brain supplement that gives you a lot of mental clarity and physical energy - it's like the pill from the movie Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper. It also works really well at hangover prevention! We just went live on TTS and could use all the help we can get to get to 1000 sales. Please feel free to make a purchase from 1-5x units (that'll be fully reimbursed, of course), see if anyone in your network might find the product useful, or just leave a tip or two about how to get those initial sales! Here's the product link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTj9ux6t1/ Thanks a million and looking forward to being part of the community and providing value too!

I'm using seller shipping on TTS, I installed the Tiktok app into Shopify but it's not integrating orders. I have to manually enter each order into my 3PL's software, get the tracking no, then input it into TTS. Is there a better way?
