Hi Friends,
I am now an official TikTok Shop Affiliate. This has been a journey in the making, and I am excited to share my story and how I got here.
My journey started about a year ago when I decided I wanted to make money online. I saw an ad for the book” The Iceberg Effect” written by Dean Holland. I read the book and it all just made sense. I did not know anything about driving traffic, capturing that traffic, how to follow up and eventually make offers. What I did know is that I wanted to learn this.
Like many others I have tried multiple times to make money online and was unsuccessful. As a matter of fact, I lost money. This was definitely the opposite of what I was expecting.
I joined Dean’s program, and I found the perfect mentor to get me started, along with a wonderful community to be part of.
Fast forward to now and I am starting to see some success in my online business.
Now my online adventure has been sidelined due to the health of my husband.
First, I would like to update you on my husband and his health. He had a lung transplant August 27. He has been home from the hospital for 6 weeks now. His health is better every day. He no longer needs any assistance with oxygen, which I think is a miracle. He actually mowed the grass the other day (with a mask on of course). He does have a Level 1 rejection, but the Doctors are treating this, and he seems to be stable.
When we were finally able to come home from the hospital, I thought I could jump right back into my online business. After all I was not spending 24 hours at a hospital, right? Well, that did not happen. I had to go back to working my 2 jobs.
This alone was enough to motivate me to really push for success. As Dean, my mentor has mentioned, you can’t be successful until you hit rock bottom, and it is necessary.
That is how I felt. We have lost 40% of my husband’s salary due to long term disability and money is certainly tight. I knew that we cannot make ends meet going forward and I would HAVE to make money online.
Here is where TikTok Shop Affiliate comes in.
I knew money could be made as a TikTok Shop Affiliate, but I did not know how. I listened to my mentor, and I did a LOT of research.
In order to become a TikTok Shop Affiliate you must meet the requirements. One of those requirements is to have 5000 followers or be invited to join.
Well, I was on a mission to achieve the needed number of followers. I spent time on TikTok engaging with others content, liking, sharing and even commenting on their post. I spent probably 5 days of constant engaging and was invited to be become an affiliate with 1046 followers. I was so excited I did a dance.
I started creating shoppable videos of items I already had in the house. It has been 7 days, and I have made $39.00 dollars. I am so excited!
This is just the beginning of my online presence. I am still creating videos in my niche, Health and wellness but only on Facebook. It seems that TikTok really only wants to promote my shoppable videos and that is ok.
So, my friends, please check out my TikTok videos and let me know what you think. I would love any tips you may have for me.

Firstly, thanks for the update on your husband! Secondly, congratulations on becoming a TikTok Affiliate. I appreciate your explanation on how many subscribers are needed. Sounds like it varies from creator to creator. I think I’ll take advantage of the opportunity when the time comes. Also, Dean is starting a tutorial on how he is doing this, as well!

The Best Is Yet To Come!
Hi Sherri – I’m so glad to hear the news of your husband’s health and that he is getting better. It is incredible the things that doctors can now do but is equally important to have the aftercare and that is what you are providing him. You are an inspiration and I continued to wish the best for you and your husband and for his recovery. Now, congratulations on becoming a TikTok shop affiliate! That is huge! The requirements that TikTok has now have increased (bummer!) and I have a long way to go to become an affiliate, but I am not giving up. Thank you for this motivational post and I continued to wish the best for your continued success!
