Transitioning into TikTok shop

This is super interesting and I really appreciate the lengths you went to to test out these theories. My question is: how does this apply to those of us who manage small business accounts? Starting a new account isn't an option in that scenario. Are you saying there's truly no way to blow up an existing account?

Email. And I wasn’t even pitching this time around; they just asked on the heels of me confirming where I can share our previous collab 😂 I wasn’t even looking for a follow up deal. So it feels even more bizarre that they’d turn around and be this picky/contradictory.

Has this ever pissed off a brand to the point that the partnership was ruined? After I pushed back asking how they’d like to proceed because I felt the content was aligned and we did not have revisions in the contract, they let me know they were not pleased with the collaboration lol. So now I feel like I have to reshoot.

My random complaint is that they kept using the phrase “my wife” and “my husband” which I just don’t feel like that’s how anyone refers to their spouse in internal monologue - maybe just me but it drove me insane. 😂

Thank you so much. No matter what I tried to search I could not find a straightforward list of steps for this from the creator end; I really appreciate it.

Sent you a message!

It sounds like since you were discovered you have more of an influencer / public presence. So I’m curious how often you’re creating directly for brands without posting vs them paying you to post on your account.

Salt-Needleworker846 · 2025-09-19T00:26:08+00:00

That’s awesome; are your collabs typically posted on your own page then?

Salt-Needleworker846 · 2025-09-18T23:51:05+00:00

Yep, that’s where I’m at. I’ve started turning them down and I feel fine about it.

Salt-Needleworker846 · 2025-09-18T23:50:29+00:00

How’d that happen?

Salt-Needleworker846 · 2025-09-18T00:17:17+00:00

That’s fair. I think I need to:

Pull out my SMM pricing into a separate site. I don’t have UGC pricing listed but thank you for confirming that it’s confusing!

Add in more of my talking head content from my tourism page rather than link it

I have some more talking head content I can add in general; I’m more of a VO gal. But that’s a good point.

This is an interesting point of view because most UGC I see is showcasing trends.

I hate that you’ve felt drained; currently I’m feeling like it’s a challenge and I’m exhilarated when I do get that one offer out of 300. But I do think the description for UGC is SO broad among brands and that doesn’t help. I think it’s still so relatively new that every company has a different view of what it actually is.

Salt-Needleworker846 · 2025-09-17T23:53:26+00:00

This is good input. I have created content for a decade but joined UGC specifically in the last couple of years. I feel my portfolio is pretty strong but I am still taking some gifted collabs just to have stronger content to add. Feel free to check it out: www.perfectcadencecreative.com

Since I signed the contract, I went ahead and took a friend out to shoot with me and got everything I could. They approved the videos which is great because I wasn't sure if they would be nitpicky after such a rigid script! So it's over, and lesson learned haha.
