My new career in TikTok (with picture)

[DSLiverpool]

Latest vid I’m flexing the Bentayga and it’s running at 1500 views per hour ! My record is 31k views but I think this will beat it.

I know my nephews use it.

But I thought there were some fairly significant security concerns from installing the app and the breadth of data it collected...

[fellatthefirst]

It was me that found you on TikTok! I recognised your TikTok name as its the same handle you have on here. I too have the same name on here and on TikTok lol.

There are quite a few "FBA experts" on there now, all of them seem to be about 20 years old and claim they know everything. As someone who is experienced myself i know for a fact they are lying about a lot of things and they just say knock out statistics to try and get followers which then results in them selling a course...You need to show your Bentley and a much more flash lifestyle and you're followers will fly! lol. The reality is you're not flash but you DO know what you're talking about compared to most of the other chancers on there.

It’s common knowledge I’ll be unemployed after this month, my 1 week taking tiktok and shortly you tube and insta has made me reconsider the business I had planned and make a mentoring / help service instead.

Looked at your vids.

Isn't it a bit dangerous? Short videos that may lead to "a little knowledge is dangerous" actions.

People buying 300 fans or led toilet seat light that they will never shift for a profit.

Well done on trying to use it for business and actually making me download it.

But the rest of it is dirge. Stupid dances, memes and rap crap backing music.

My kids are addicted to it and had their heads bowed watching it on holiday. Whether we were driving through spectacular scenery or sitting on a fantastic beach.

It irritates the hell out of me as it just sounds like someone trying to tune in an old bakelite radio and can never quite find the Light Programme

I did try to find some car stuff I might be interested in but it was all far too short and mostly with the crap rap as backing music.

I'll stick to You Tube thanks.

But my videos tell them they won’t be able to just do it, polar opposite of the kids selling courses. On the toilet lights it was a bet I couldn’t buy an item on eBay, double the price and sell it on eBay - challenge accepted and won, nearly 2000 sold now.
People should have a go, bundle kit, relabel kit etc just putting up generic stuff will never succeed in numbers.

I agree it’s full of crap but I’m interested in where it could go, and I’ve nothing better to do right now.

Thanks for the reply.

A noob question, but how does shipping work? Do you physically mail out the 2000 yourself on eBay?

Yes my wife has agreed to max 10 orders a day across 60 SKUs and it covers a good chunk of the house Sainsbury’s bill. I just enjoy a dabble I don’t depend on it,

Thanks.

You do come across well on your videos (bling stuff like the watches aside).

Love it - which video ? I’m going live tonight warning of the dangers of FBA and possibly cover product sourcing. It’ll be me and a few 12 year olds no doubt

the one where you're saying you don't need to rely on china, look at wholesalers here in the uk too!

Cheers - that is up to 38k views, and amazingly I have had a enquiry for help setting up a decent e comm project - wasn't expecting that!

Loving your work, Dave. And some really interesting little ideas in there.

Edited to add, seem to be signed up to TikTok with my son's account, so if you see a 'Sidney' following you, that's me...

Accumulating nicely, inspired questions such as “what sells on FBA” and “who’s the best supplier” keep me on my toes. Aim is to get 10k by sept through constant sprinkling of my e-commerce gold dust to the masses

been following your business thread that has many pages a while ago but got side tracked from PH forum for a while.

could i pick your brains about something related to your tiktok? not trying to do anything similar far from it. could i send you a dm at some point? thanks

[DSLiverpool]

One can ask but I know nothing, I just turn on the camera and waffle - no prep at all lol.

[anonymous-user]

Sold a fan! Brilliant. And you are right, there are some gurus out there that would build a £297 course around that
