The key to TikTok product selection is cross-validating data:| Data Source | What it validates |
|---|---|
| Video popularity | Content-side traction (views/likes) |
| Shop sales | Transaction-side real demand |
| Comment feedback | User purchase intent |
Signal Strength Assessment
| Signal Strength | Sales | Video Count | Comment Feedback | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strong | 5000+ | 3+ promoting same product | Frequent “where to buy” | Act now |
| Medium | 1000-5000 | 1-2 videos | Some purchase intent | Worth testing |
| Weak | Under 1000 | 0-1 videos | No clear intent | Wait and see |
