0:00Today's harsh truth is just because you make TikTok Shop content
0:02does not mean you deserve to make money.
0:03Hi, my name is Moana.
0:04I'm an Emerald creator. I've been doing TikTok Shop for five months now
0:08and I make well over $10,000 a month.
0:09And the majority of people I see
0:10comment about them not making any sales.
0:12They're not posting enough,
0:13they're inconsistent
0:14and they're not putting any effort into their videos.
0:16And again,
0:16I don't know why people think that just because they make a TikTok
0:19shop video, they deserve to get rich right away.
0:21You can't throw together a low quality video,
0:23post whenever you feel like it,
0:24or promote really shitty products
0:26and sit there wondering why you're not making thousands of dollars.
0:28We need to talk about free samples
0:30because I see so many new creators complain about how brands
0:32decline all their free sample requests.
0:34Again, people get into this program and think that they deserve
0:37all this money and they deserve all these free things.
0:39You haven't made a sale. You have no GMV.
0:41Why would brands send you free stuff?
0:43You have no proof that you can actually sell anything,
0:45so why would they send you free stuff?
0:46And if you want life changing money
0:48and you want this to completely change your life,
0:49you need to treat it like a business
0:51because it is put in the dedication,
0:52show up every day, and it will literally transform your life.
0:56You're Starting a new business,
0:57you need to spend some money.
0:58You're not gonna get free samples.
0:59You need to be purchasing products
1:01or use products around your house
1:02and try and sell the shit out of them.
1:04Make good videos, test different hooks,
1:06learn what actually converts
1:07and people like keep on showing up every single day.
1:09At the end of the day, nobody owes you sells,
1:11nobody owes you free products
1:13and nobody owes you a successful TikTok shop career.
1:15You have to build that.
1:16You have to put in the effort and time and money,
1:18whatever that is.
1:19And if you're not willing to treat it like a real job and business,
1:21stop expecting it to pay you like one.
