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.
- Amazon, 55% of TikTok Shop sales[1]
- $55,000
- 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.
| What | Now | With creator videos |
|---|---|---|
| Return on ad spend | 1.50x | 1.85x |
| Meta sales | $525,000 | $648,148 |
| Cost to win a customer | $25.00 | $20.25 |
| Customers | 14,000 | 17,284 |
| Click rate | 1.50% | 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.
- Affiliate videos a month
- 2,333
- Videos that sell
- 175
- One ad you pay to make
- $750.00
- One sample
- $15.00
- Savings a month
- $128,625
In plain English: This counts every video that sells as an ad you would otherwise pay for. If you would only buy 20 ads a month, your savings are about $14,700.
04Your first six months
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.
