TikTok creators > Amazon affiliates
(And I run an agency that offers Amazon affiliate management)
A client just asked: "Should we spend $1,800/month on Amazon affiliates or TikTok creators?"
I told them TikTok.
My team probably wanted to kick me under the table.
Here's why Amazon affiliates are the wrong move for most brands:
→ Limited reach (only Amazon shoppers)
→ Generic content that blends together
→ No brand awareness building
→ Expensive for mediocre results
TikTok creators? Different game entirely.
Find the ones who'll work for product + commission.
Have them create 20-30 pieces of organic content.
Then Spark the ones that take off.
What you get:
✓ Authentic brand messaging
✓ Content you can use everywhere
✓ Massive reach beyond Amazon
✓ The magic phrases that actually convert
After managing $100M+ in ad spend, I've seen this play work for brands at every stage.
You're not just getting sales. You're getting the marketing wind that makes everything else work better.
Are you prioritizing Amazon-native marketing or building awareness first?
