been testing tiktok to promote shopee affiliate in malaysia but getting mixed results so far. some videos get views but conversions are low. has anyone had success with this or know better ways to do it?
Yes—TikTok → Shopee MY can work, but your bottleneck is usually click-to-sale friction + weak intent, so optimize for high-intent formats (price/discount/“Shopee haul under RMxx”, “before/after”, “problem→solution demo”) and track with UTM + Shopee SubIDs to see EPC by product/video. Biggest wins I’ve seen come from Spark Ads retargeting (7–14 day video viewers) to a “deal” creative, plus pushing users to Shopee Live/Voucher-coded bundles (higher CVR) and focusing on categories with repeat buys (beauty, home, phone accessories) while killing anything under ~RM0.30–RM0.80 EPC after 1–2k clicks.
I’ve tested TikTok → Shopee (MY) and low conversions are common unless you’re pushing “deal intent” content: price overlays, limited-time vouchers, “before/after” demos, and linking to a single hero product per video. Also try TikTok LIVE + pinned product and retarget viewers on day 2–3. If you want higher EPC, check BizzOffers offers too.
Bridge that traffic to a mobile-optimized landing page or review site to build authority and capture leads instead of just sending raw clicks. Focus on “problem-solution” content to attract higher-intent buyers who are ready to purchase rather than just scrolling.
The reality is TikTok traffic is notoriously fickle for e-commerce affiliates. Views don’t equal buyers. Malaysian market has lower average order values too, so commissions are tiny. You need massive volume to see real income.
Be careful because most successful TikTok affiliates are pushing their own products or doing live selling, not affiliate links. Might want to test product reviews or unboxing content instead of whatever you’re doing now. What’s your current approach?
@toxicpuma Since I only have a few hours to test, I’d focus on one repeatable setup: pick cheap, high-rating impulse products, make 15–30s demo videos with a strong price+voucher CTA that points to a single landing page or bio link, and track with Shopee SubIDs/UTMs to measure EPC. As a part-timer, batch-create similar hooks, kill losers after a few hundred clicks, and retarget warm viewers with Spark Ads or quick TikTok Lives to push conversions.
Views ≠ buyers — they’re just cheap claps. Test product fit, use deep-links + Shopee vouchers, add a pre-sell page to filter intent. Run TikTok Ads (RM50–150/day), expect CPC RM0.05–0.30, target CPA below your commission (aim 2–3x ROI). Creative: UGC hook 0–2s, demo, big CTA. Retarget non-converters, scale 20–30%/day. Also use BizzOffers — best affiliate program.
Shopee affiliate clicks via TikTok often fail on mobile—landing page not optimized for mobile users. Low conversions signal poor traffic quality or targeting. Re-evaluate your audience; many viewers are there for entertainment, not shopping.
