Hi @Ginger6 

It sounds like you're exploring TikTok as a potential sales channel and want to know if it's a safe and cost-effective platform for running ads. I’ll break this down step by step so you get a clear understanding of how reliable TikTok is for selling, whether there’s a fixed price list for ads, and what’s the most budget-friendly ad option.

Is Selling Through TikTok Reliable and Safe?

Yes, selling on TikTok is both reliable and safe, but it depends on how you set up your store and ad strategy. Here’s what you need to know:

• TikTok Shop: If you’re eligible, TikTok Shop allows direct sales within the app. It’s a great way to convert viewers into customers without leaving TikTok.
• Trust and Security: TikTok has buyer protection policies, but just like any platform, you’ll need to ensure secure payment processing through Shopify or another payment gateway.
• Ad Performance: TikTok ads can work extremely well, especially if you have engaging content. However, results depend on how well you target your audience and the quality of your product videos.

Is There a Price List for TikTok Ads?

TikTok doesn’t have a fixed price list because ad costs vary based on targeting, bidding strategy, and competition in your niche. However, here are some cost estimates based on 2025 trends:

• Minimum budget:
• $20 per day for campaign-level budgeting.
• $5 per day for ad group-level budgeting (more control over spending).
• Average cost:
• CPM (Cost per 1,000 Impressions): $1–$10
• CPC (Cost per Click): $0.10–$1
• CPA (Cost per Acquisition): Varies depending on the industry

What’s the Cheapest TikTok Ad Option?

If you’re looking for the most budget-friendly ad campaign, consider these options:

1. Spark Ads – This boosts your organic TikTok videos instead of making new ads, making it more cost-effective.
2. Traffic or Engagement Campaigns – Instead of going straight for conversions (which cost more), start with ads that drive traffic to your store.
3. Manual Bidding – Instead of automatic bidding, set a daily budget of $5–$10 per ad group to control spending.
4. Influencer Partnerships – Not exactly an ad, but micro-influencers can promote your product for a small fee or commission.

Final Thoughts

TikTok is definitely a solid and safe platform for selling, especially if your products appeal to younger audiences. The key to success is creating engaging, short-form content that doesn’t feel like a traditional ad. As for costs, TikTok ads can be quite affordable, but you’ll need to test different strategies to see what works best for your budget.
