NOT GETTING ORDERS ON TIKTOK? – THE PROBLEM ISN’T YOUR PRODUCT
Have you ever wondered:
"Why am I not getting any orders on TikTok even though my product is good, affordable, and well-packaged?"
Here’s the surprising truth:
The problem isn’t your product – it’s how you present and sell it.
1. TikTok is a PLATFORM FOR ENTERTAINMENT – NOT a SHOPPING MALL
People don’t open TikTok to buy things. They come to be entertained.
So if your video is just: “Here’s product A, it does XYZ, it costs this much…”
Sorry to say – they’ll scroll past you in 1 second.
To make people stop and watch, you need content that hooks them – something they can relate to emotionally or personally.
2. The Old “Sales Pitch” Style Doesn’t Work on TikTok
Forget about shouting “Buy now!”, “Flash sale!”, or “1-for-1 deal!”
On TikTok, you need to tell a story – or create a real-life scenario where the product fits naturally.
Examples:
-
Selling essential oils? Make a short story about someone struggling with sleepless nights until they tried your oil and finally got rest.
-
Selling a journal? Show a scene of someone lost and unmotivated, who begins journaling daily and finds clarity.
3. Lack of Consistency and Analytics
If you post only 1–2 videos and give up, you’re doing it wrong.
TikTok is a game of algorithms and data.
Not every video will go viral, but each one gives you insights:
-
When do people drop off?
-
Are they commenting or clicking your link?
-
What kind of content gets more attention?
Use this data to improve your content strategy.
4. Poor Profile and Sales Funnel Setup
Even if your video is great – if your bio doesn’t have a link, or the link leads to a confusing checkout, you’re losing customers.
If your profile has no photo, no description, and no theme, you lose trust at first glance.
✅ FINAL THOUGHTS
Not getting orders doesn’t mean your product is bad – it means you haven’t told the right story yet.
TikTok isn’t a shopping site – it’s a “content market.”
To sell successfully, you must master storytelling, create emotional connection, and show how your product solves a real problem.
