Hey :waving_hand: welcome aboard!
I’ve actually tested TikTok Shop across a few of my stores lately, it can definitely boost sales if your niche fits short-form content (fashion, beauty, home/lifestyle do great). The key is syncing your product catalog properly and running organic-style videos instead of ads that look like ads.

There are also a few good community spaces outside TikTok that can help you get traffic. depends on what you’re selling.
If you want, I can take a quick look at your setup and share what would work best for your niche, as well as tips that made me break even

Hey there,
Welcome to the Community :waving_hand:

TiktokShop can definitely help you boost sales, especially if your products cgrab attention quickly.

Forums are better for networking and feedback rather than generating direct sales. Platforms like TiktokShop and Instagram drive better conversions.

Good luck with your experiments.

Hello @TheWhaouAttitude,

I think you should definitely consider creating a TikTok page for your products and posting there regularly. Even simple, behind-the-scenes videos showing how you make or package your products can get great engagement and help people discover your brand.

I wish I had a bit more understanding of the types of products you’re selling, but especially with TikTok Shop, many people are influenced by short videos and are willing to purchase products directly from the platform.

Wishing you luck.

Hello and thank you all for your replies and advice.

I took the time to read your responses and do some research on my own.

I will therefore adopt a cautious and adaptive approach.

Good luck to you all and thank you again.

Hi @TheWhaouAttitude**!** Yes — TikTok Shop is one of the fastest ways to boost sales right now. People can see your product in action and buy without leaving the app, which drives impulse purchases. You also don’t need a big following — creators can promote your product for a commission, so you only pay when you get sales. For forums, Facebook Groups and Reddit can help, but TikTok Shop gives you reach + sales in one place. If you’re testing online marketing, it’s a great place to start.

Hey, Tiktok can be useful for boosting sales because TikTok has a large use base so it will boost your sale or you can use forums or online community to promote your product because it can build long term value. I would suggest don’t spend too much money at the starting and keep learning and improve your videos.

Keep trying and Stay consistent.

All the best.
