TikTok Creator Account vs. Business Account for Affiliate Marketing

so i want to take just a moment to
address and give my thoughts on
one topic that comes up a lot for new
affiliate marketers who are using tic
tac
and hopefully i can help you out and
help you make some decisions on which
way you want to go
so the issue comes down with the
clickable link on tick tock and if you
have a brand new tic tac
account and it's a creator account you
can't actually put a clickable link over
to your funnel
inside that tic tac account you have to
get to a thousand followers on your
creator account
before you can actually add that
clickable link which will then generate
leads and all that good stuff now there
is a quote-unquote work around in tic
tac whereas if you switch over to a
business account you can immediately
add a clickable link into your account
from day one zero followers now the
issue here
is when you create a business account
you don't
get access to the trending sounds
um so really when when you're new and
you don't have any followers the the way
you can become discovered
is by jumping on trends that's the the
beauty of
tick-tock nothing no other platform
loves a copycat video like
like tick-tock does so i think it is
really important to
to have a creator account in order to
see growth now
some people are switching back and forth
where they will create
their videos on a crater account so they
can get access to the trending sounds
then switch back over to a business
account so they can have a clickable
link
and the the thing is is people are
struggling to grow
as business accounts i see that in the
in the in the comments
in the in the group here um i know this
is a thing
so really there is no right or wrong
answer whatever you want to do is fine
however in general in in marketing in
general and growing a brand in general
the longer you delay gratification the
longer you
delay income the more success you're
going to see long term
and i'm not telling you to put off
earning commissions forever but
what i'm saying is is if you just commit
to a creator account
and try to grow as fast as possible you
know
you're probably going to see uh some
momentum more quickly yeah you don't
have the clickable link from day one but
once again you're you're building a
following faster because you're
accessing those trending sounds your
creator account
it seems like tic tac is more likely to
push out creator videos
and the other reason i think it might
just be best just to go with the creator
account and make your initial goal as
hitting a
thousand followers is because generally
whatever your goal is
is is the result that you will get and
what i mean by that is if you
create a business account and you get
that link up there then you're just
going to start making tick tocks and
hoping to make some money right
and that's not really a goal but if you
get a creator account then you have a
real
uh concrete goal from from day one and
that's to get a thousand followers
and guess what your brain will work
subconsciously and you'll you'll make
strides to do whatever it takes to get
that thousand followers
as quickly as possible then you can add
your link and then you can go from there
so there's a couple reasons why um
i think maybe just stick with the
creator
commit to getting your first thousand
and and delay
the monetization and hopefully you know
you'll get there within a week
or two i mean it's certainly possible to
get there within a couple of days
it's not going to happen for everybody
but there's still a great opportunity to
go viral on tic tac
if you're using those trending trending
sounds and
and you're leveraging duet features and
and all that stuff that you can really
do
uh with the creator account so that's my
thought for the day if you have any
questions drop them in the in the
comments and then we'll we'll try to get
to
the specifics there but uh it's probably
the best way to go
