TL;DR: Product Videos That Sell

TikTok Shop opportunity: $20B+ GMV in 2026, exploding growth Video = sales: Products with video sell 10x more than static posts Seedance advantage: Multi-shot demos show product from every angle ROI: $30 Seedance subscription → $5K-50K/month sales potential Reality: Authentic, problem-solving videos sell. Not ads.

TikTok Shop is printing money for sellers who understand video.

Here's how to create product videos that actually convert.

Why TikTok Shop Videos Are Different

TikTok Shop vs Traditional E-commerce

Amazon/Shopify product video:

• Formal, polished, advertising feel

• 30-60 seconds professional demo

• Studio quality expected

TikTok Shop product video:

• Authentic, creator-style, "real person" feel

• 15-30 seconds, fast-paced

• Too polished = less trust

Key difference: TikTok users buy from "people," not "brands"
