01Sales your reports do not show

People see a creator on TikTok, then buy somewhere else. At $100,000 a month on TikTok Shop, that may be about $55,000 on Amazon and $22,500 on your own site, or $930,000 a year.

Your site, 22.5% of TikTok Shop sales[2]
$22,500
Total a month
$77,500

In plain English: Each $1 you sell on TikTok Shop may come with about $0.78 more on Amazon and your site.

02Your Meta ads, before and after

Run your creators' videos as Meta partnership ads and each sale may cost 19% less[3]. The same $350,000 then brings about $123,148 more in sales a month.

Click rate1.50%1.69%

In plain English: Only the extra sales go in your total. The lower cost per customer is the same gain seen another way, so we do not count it twice.

03The ads your creators are already making

Your affiliates may make about 2,333 videos a month for the cost of a sample[4]. About 175 of them already sell, so you know they work before you run them as ads.

If you grow 20% a month, by month 6 your TikTok Shop, Amazon, site and Meta sales add up to $300,648 a month. Content savings are not in this chart.
