| Metric         | Excellent | Good     | Average    |
| -------------- | --------- | -------- | ---------- |
| Likes/Views    | 5%+       | 3-5%     | Under 3%   |

* "Ordering now"

## Influencer Search

```

```

* **Content niche**: Match product category
* **Region**: Target market

### Influencer Info

```
Analyze @username's account data
```

Returns:

* Followers / Following
* Average views
* Engagement rate
* Content style
* Recent performance

### Influencer Quality Benchmarks

| Metric              | Excellent | Good | Average | Poor      |
| ------------------- | --------- | ---- | ------- | --------- |
| Engagement Rate     | 8%+       | 5-8% | 2-5%    | Under 2%  |
| Avg Views/Followers | 2+        | 1-2  | 0.5-1   | Under 0.5 |

## Product Selection Methodology

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  |

### Common Pitfalls

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Viral video but low sales">
    Pure entertainment content that doesn't convert. Always verify TikTok Shop sales data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="High sales but few videos">
    Trend may have passed. Prioritize products with "rising video traction + growing sales."
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Fake reviews">
    Rating above 4.5 but fewer than 10 reviews, templated reviews, clustered review dates. Cross-validate with Amazon data.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Complete Product Selection Workflow

### TikTok → Amazon → 1688 Pipeline

After discovering promising products, use other tools for complete validation:

```
1. Find high-sales products on TikTok Shop
   "Search US TikTok Shop for coffee mugs"

2. Analyze viral videos
   "Why is this video viral [link]"

3. Validate on Amazon
   "Search Amazon for coffee mugs"

4. Find 1688 suppliers
   "Find coffee mug suppliers"
```

<Tip>
  TikTok traction + Amazon demand + 1688 cost - all three must pass for a good opportunity.
</Tip>

### Influencer Marketing Selection Flow

```
1. Find influencers in target follower range
   "Find beauty influencers with 100K-1M followers and high engagement"

2. Check promotion history
   "What has @username promoted"

3. Analyze viral videos
   "Why is this video viral"
```

### Competitive Analysis Flow

```
1. Search competitor promotion videos
   "Search for XX brand videos on TikTok"

2. Analyze competitor content strategy
   "Analyze @competitor's content strategy"

3. Check competitor TikTok Shop products
   "Search TikTok Shop for XX brand"

4. Analyze competitor influencer partnerships
   "What has @competitor_influencer promoted"
```

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Choose the right influencers">
    Don't just look at followers—engagement rate and content fit matter more. Mid-tier influencers (100K-1M followers) offer the best value.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Specify target market">
    US and UK trends are completely different. Always specify region when searching to avoid data confusion.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Focus on purchase signals">
    "Where to buy" comments matter more than view counts for validating real demand.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Cross-validate data">
    After discovering trends on TikTok, use Amazon to validate market size and 1688 to confirm profit margins.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Act on timing">
    TikTok trends change fast. Move quickly when you spot opportunities, but also consider product lifecycle.
