Heyyyy Lisa! Wow so glad that you liked the video. I was hoping it would be valuable to you all. Lemme know how things go if you decide to market on TikTok. 😎
I just would have never thought of using Tik Tok as a marketing platform! Who knew, Wow! Thanks for sharing and please keep posting about your success in this area. I might try it myself. Thank you for posting this video!
THANK YOU for this video! I watched the same one you did, recently-- and never thought of TikTok, until then Then yours, and you used Canva Pro? Yea, OK, I am in and gotta try this! Got my first low content KDP sale on March 1, 2022 and sold 70 so far. Not millions, yet gas and cat food--- for now 😅!
Hello there! Glad I could help. Kudos to you on your KDP sales 😎. Tiktok is super fun to use for marketing. It takes a bit of work but its worth it Imo.
@@YourChicGeek I never thought I'd be on TikTok! Any tips for using Canva Pro? No doubt it may take time ...and thank you for the kudos on the sales. I wanted to do cartwheels down the road!!
@@lisa-linb4190 glad you asked! Stay Tuned for a video that Im publishing that talks about how to create Tiktok Marketing graphics with Canva Pro. Be on the lookout for that.
Thank you for sharing and love your video! I’m currently researching, “how to promote low content books” I have published on Amazon and your video come up in the search. I have created a tictok account to promote my books and I have no idea how to use tictok. Thanks to your video I’m going to look into it more to promote my books. Thank you!
Another brilliant video. I have just started with KDP, so I will give this a go and see what happens. Do you have any way of tracking whether you get any sales from marketing on Tik Tok. I personally would never have thought to go to Tik Tok or Instagram to look for a book, but I am learning something new every day.
Thank you for this vital information. I haven't made any sales, and I'm starting to doubt myself and the quality of my journals. However, I will persevere.
This is a really good video. I like how you are honest and realistic and say you noticed a 5 book uptick. I am scared of TikTok because they say TikTok gives all your personal info to the Chinese government. But I'm going to try a booktok type video on UA-cam shorts to promote my KDP book.
Awesome video and very informative! May I ask where you got the stock videos of the black woman typing on her laptop? That’s what I’ve been looking for.
I do not have a Tictok account but I may get one just for my book and publisher promotion. I feel that when self-promotion is a big part of your success you should use every free source available to you. Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanks for this . I been following your low content journal videos and have made a journal so far . However , I have to redo it bc I have to make a journal with the back/cover first . Anyhow , thank you and I can’t wait to publish on kdp and market on TikTok. 🙏🏽
@@laclairelcyy007 Oh wow thank you soooo much Elsia! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me... Wishing you nothing but the BEST with your KDP journey.
Hi Kim...How do you get people to buy your book if you don't have a clickable link yet in your bio...meaning your followers are below 1000 still and your link isn't unclickable? Did you have a following before you started listing your books so your link was clickable or was that not a deterrent to getting sales? I tried using a qr code but people don't know how to use those so it failed and I don't have a clickable link. I have a few videos that have loads of views but zero sales. I am thinking it's because the link doesn't work. Can you do a video on how to get your tiktok followers up above 1000? Thanks so much.
Hello there! One way to tell is with using a link shortner like Bit.ly. When you convert your Amazon book links to this, Bitly will track those links so that you can see where sales are coming from. Best of luck.
enjoyed your video. My burning question is: how to link my amazonKDP page to the tiktok video (or tiktok shop), so viewers can instantly/easily click and buy, as that seems to be crutial to getting sales?
Hello and thank you for your video! I just have a basic question😅are you using normal tiktok or tiktok for business? Which one is better to start with? I don't know much about it so I would really appreciate some guidance on it 🙏
Yw! A lot of folks recommend using Tiktok for business as you get access to some additional features but I think I am using a Tiktok creator account. Hope this helps.
I think I’m gonna try promoting my books on TikTok too. I created like 15 journals on Amazon and I’ve only sold two copies overall so far. I gotta few ideas just gotta put them in motion……
Awesome to hear. I am going to do another video this week with some ideas of what to post on Tiktok for marketing + promoting low content books. Be on the lookout for me.
Thank you 🙏🏿 you were very helpful, Honest ,and sincere. Also, do you think this is a good platform for nonfiction? Continued success in your endeavors
Hi Kim, first let me say that I love your videos. They are very informative, and you have a great way of explaining things in detail while keeping it simple to understand. I learned how to publish on kdp thx to your videos and I thank you for that! I'm a newbie, I only have 3 medium content books for now but have only sold to family lol. I've been wanting to promote on TikTok but what link should I use? I don't have a website for my books so how do I get potential clients to find my book? Thx!
Hey Christiane this is a great question. The easiest thing to do is to convert the link to your book on Amazon to a bit.ly link or use a different type of shortener and add the URL to the bottom of your Tiktok graphics. I will probably do a short video to show you guys how to do this.
Thanks, Kim! I found your video because I would like to promote my book on tiktok shop. However, I'm stuck on the shipping/warehouse address if I'm shipping though Amazon. Can I ask what you used to set up your tiktok shop for Amazon delivery?
Hey Kim, my problem using TikTok to promote my books is this...I can't post any links anywhere. Not in the description or in my profile. Is the Creator Account you talked about different than a regular account?
Hey there Mike! You can basically take your books like from Amazon and shorten it with a tool like Bit.ly then add the short URL to the bottom of your graphics. Hope this helps!
Hello! Could you please show how to post link on ticktock? I tried to copy from Amazon and paste on ticktock but it doesn’t let me paste on ticktock for some reason.
Love your Tiktok videos, but it would be really great if you could do another updated video to give your Tiktok results now that you have been doing it for a while, or the struggles you had, as there's a lack of Tiktok results vids for authors on UA-cam. Same as instagram results 🙂
I'm just getting started with Tiktok but I'm struggling trying to reach the American audience since I don't live in America. Very frustrating lol. @@YourChicGeek
i was under the impression that you need to have 1,000 followers to be able to get a creator’s account on tik tok I’m no where near that many followers… i want to be a creator but when i go to the biz settings it states i can’t yet bc my followers are too low 🥺
Hey there Kristin! So I just rechecked my account and I signed up as a creator with less than 1,000 followers. Not sure whats happening with you not being able to sign up.
@@YourChicGeek i went back to see what I’m doing wrong.. so i was clicking on Creator Next which i have no idea what that is. So as for a creator account should i be on reg or business?
@@YourChicGeek so i was so confused and now i understand theirs a personal creator account, a business account and a creator next which do you recommend?
Yes I just tried to start with my first tik tok for a journal. I didn't get any sales, but it got 259 views the first day I posted it.
Wow that is wonderful to hear! Keep up the great work and pls do share updates on your Journey!
Another banger! So much detailed info! Thanks, Kim!
Heyyyy Lisa! Wow so glad that you liked the video. I was hoping it would be valuable to you all. Lemme know how things go if you decide to market on TikTok. 😎
Oh wow. Thanks so much. I am going to have to investigate this more. Very excited.
I love your videos! Thank you for not holding back with tips and tricks and resources you’ve used!
Yw Andrea!
Another great video, I'm so excited I found your page.
Yw!
You always come through action and insights. Thank YOU!
Heyyy Kandia! You are very welcome...
Hey Kim, this is great. Going to look at trying this. Thanks!
Heyyyy Chris! Sounds awesome. Lemme know how it goes…
Hi and thank you. How did you sell the books? Did you have a link to your book on Amazon? Or did you add it to the TikTok shop and mail them out?
Sorry, I made a mistake and skipped the ad. I'm going to refresh this and let the ads play. Thanks for the great tips!
Lol! No worries
I just would have never thought of using Tik Tok as a marketing platform! Who knew, Wow! Thanks for sharing and please keep posting about your success in this area. I might try it myself. Thank you for posting this video!

Hey there Melanie! Tiktok has for sure been a fun ride. I'd love to know how things work out for you.
May I ask if you could do a follow up video about tiktok how things went since you published this video? Thank you 🙂
Hello there! I surely will. Thanks for the suggestion.

But HOW do you set it up for sales? Do you provide a link from social media to your listing on Amazon?
Great question. I just added a new short video that explains this in more detail.
Thanks, Kim! I found your video because I would like to promote my book on tiktok shop. However, I'm stuck on the shipping/warehouse address if I'm shipping though Amazon. Can I ask what you used to set up your tiktok shop for Amazon delivery?
Anybody know how we can actually advertise out books on tik tok? (How the ads look, how do we send the watcher to our exact book or book page?)
Great info,thanks!
You're welcome Dimitra!
How do you add your kdp link on TikTok? How would someone know where to go to purchase?
How has TikTok been going? Do you focus on one niche in your account or can u mix it up some?
Hello there! So I focus on promoting one brand on Tiktok.
Hey Kim, my problem using TikTok to promote my books is this...I can't post any links anywhere. Not in the description or in my profile. Is the Creator Account you talked about different than a regular account?

Hi Kim, I could not find your video on how to post the short link to the tiktok videos. Love your content ❤🤠
Hello! Could you please show how to post link on ticktock? I tried to copy from Amazon and paste on ticktock but it doesn’t let me paste on ticktock for some reason.
I'll have to create a short to show you how to do this. Sorry that I didn't add it to the video for you to view.
@@YourChicGeekdid you create a short? I'm stuck at this question lol
Great speaking voice

Thanks!
how did you add your book to your tiktok shop?
Hello there! So I dont have a tiktok shop. My shop is hosted on Payhip so what I do is add a link to my shop to drive traffic to it
@@YourChicGeek thanks!!
This was from selling journals or fiction books?
Selling journals and low content books (Ie planners, coloring books etc)
Should you use a personal or creator account?
Creator - one of the first things she mentioned in the video
I'm promoting kdp as a product please how can I market it
1 year later what are the results?
I will need to check and let you know!
