TikTok Dropshipping: How I Dropship With TikTok Shop
I was trying my best to avoid TikTok shop.
I mean, whenever I come across any TikTok, all I know is them making crazy videos that make no sense to me. I tend to take YouTubers, Bloggers, and Twitter people seriously. But when it comes to TikTok I tend to avoid it as much as possible.
But you know what, there is a limit to everything. You cannot ignore anything forever. A time came when I started to think, “Why not?”
Maybe trying once won’t hurt much.
Apart from the crazy TikTok viral videos, there were several good genuine TikTokers that made me believe that finally I should give the platform a try.
