Billions sold and we’re still just getting started. We sat down with Jordan Levine to unpack how AI and creators are reshaping TikTok Shop—from finding the right affiliates to building a repeatable UGC engine that lifts Amazon and D2C sales. The headline shift: creator spend is the new ad spend. Instead of pushing budgets into traditional ads, smart brands invest in the right creators, the right hooks, and the right audiences—and then use AI to scale what works without burning hours on manual outreach.
We dig into the practical playbook. Jordan breaks down how AI tools filter affiliates by category fit, post-fulfillment rate, engagement quality, and last-month GMV, then automate thousands of targeted invites and messages per day. We also explore social intelligence that scrapes TikTok Shop to surface top products, winning hooks, and proven creators, so you can reverse-engineer success for your niche. With proper usage rights, the best UGC becomes omnichannel fuel: Spark ads, Instagram Reels, Amazon PDP videos, and retail media. The result isn’t just TikTok revenue—it’s a measurable halo on Amazon, where trust and Prime do the heavy lifting.
We also look ahead. Will AI-generated video rival human creators? How should brands balance infinite content scale with the emotional nuance that sells? Expect lives, auctions, and AI content to evolve fast, but the fundamentals remain: audience fit, creative testing, and relentless iteration. Treat TikTok as your fast insight lab, then bring the winners to Amazon and beyond.
