What commission rate should I offer TikTok Shop creators?

15-20% is the standard rate. 25-30% for new product launches where you want fast traction. 5-10% only attracts creators who already love your product. Hidden commission ("we'll talk later") signals a bad offer.

What size creators should I target on TikTok Shop?

5K-50K followers in your exact niche, with high engagement (likes/views) per post and ideally a history of TikTok Shop content. Mega-creators (1M+) ignore cold outreach. Sub-5K rarely moves enough volume.

Should I include a content brief when I send product to a creator?

A short one, framed as "guardrails not script." Include the vibe, hook inspirations, must-mention requirements (link, shipping origin), and policy avoid list (no health claims). Let creators use their voice — it converts better than a scripted post.

How many times should I follow up with a creator who does not reply?

Once. A polite nudge after 5 days. If still no reply, drop it. Persistence past two messages is the most common reason sellers get blocked or reported as spam on TikTok.
