I signed up for TikTok affiliate and now I have a headache
Okay so I thought it was going to be simple. Click a few buttons, link some products, done. Easy money, right? Wrong. So wrong.
I am sitting here staring at my screen trying to figure out the TikTok Shop dashboard, the affiliate center, the product marketplace, the commission rates, the showcase tab, and whatever else they expect me to know before I can even post a single thing. There are tabs inside tabs. Settings inside settings. I clicked something and I genuinely do not know what I just agreed to.
Nobody told me it would feel like applying for a second job. I just wanted to make a little extra on the side. Maybe recommend stuff I actually like. But now I have to understand analytics and order tracking and sample requests and product ratings and okay, I need to stop listing things because my head is already killing me.
I know I'll get there. I know once it clicks it'll click. But right now, in this exact moment, I am overwhelmed and I am tired and I have seventeen browser tabs open and I don't know which one to close first.
If you're also starting out and feeling the same way: hi. You're not alone. We are confused together. Let's figure this out one painful tab at a time.
