Star Projectors
Do you like the idea of stars and galaxies on your ceiling? A good number of TikTokers do, and if you are one of them, then you may already know about the galaxy projector.
TikTokers who have posted videos of galaxy projectors use them for movie nights, or to create an aesthetic background for their videos. The videos can even be peaceful, as viewers watch stars spin by while listening to a meditation.
Take the Astrol Light Galaxy Projector as an example. On TikTok, this product boasts over 15 million views and is posted by Astrol Light itself, which has over 14 thousand followers on the app.

The appeal of projectors isn’t limited to one type of projection, either. So, if you enjoy creating projections, it’s a profitable niche to venture into.
Water Bottles

Similar water bottles have become viral sensations before, and they’ll likely to do so again. Water is a strong investment, since people can’t live without it. So perhaps producing the next fun water bottle is your next adventure!
Note: If you want to make your water bottles stand out, use a logo maker to design an aesthetically pleasing logo that buyers will love.
Books
One of the most celebrated communities of TikTok is #BookTok. This is where TikTokers discuss, review, suggest, or cry together about stories.
At 45.9 billion views, #BookTok has been a moving force for the publishing industry. According to NPD Group (a market research company), the rise of books sales has been strongly influenced by #BookTok.
With book sales leaping from 758 to 826 million print books between 2020 and 2021, we’re sure that #BookTok is here to stay.
For example, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of the prominent books on the For You pages of TikTokers on BookTok. A video of TikToker @katiiemcdougall reading the book by Reid now has 2 million views and 334K likes.

Skincare Solutions

On a TikTok video by @isabelle.lux, she talked about the benefits of using Vitamin C on your face, and her current favorite product for the job: CEO Serum by Sunday Riley. This video garnered over 70 thousand likes.

With varied content about beauty, skincare, and beauty products, many have turned to TikTok when looking for new products to try out. #faceserum has over 29.6 millions views on TikTok, which makes selling the newest trending facial serum a profitable market to tap into.
Jewelry
TikTok’s influence in fashion is undeniable. Influencers and businesses that use TikTok to debut new products are hugely successful, especially if the new product moves forward current fashion trends. The last product we’ll use as an example is the Flower Threader Earring.
You’ll find this product in one of the most viewed videos on TikTok, with the tag #jewelries. It now has 17.5 million views and was posted by @stayfancyjewel, a company that’s now had several viral jewelry hits.

The account has an impressive following of 311.1K on the app, and 9.4 million likes in total for all their TikTok videos featuring their products. In their videos, they provide a direct link to their shop where you can purchase their jewelry and read reviews from other customers. By the way, you can link to your products in your videos too! We’ll explain how a bit later, so read on.
If you can mimic their business model on a global (or even local) scale, you too can expect thousands of followers. After all, who doesn’t want shiny things?
Ready to Sell? Here’s How
If you find yourself wanting to put your products on TikTok, but are still in need of more guidance on how to do so, all you have to do is scroll down to find out how.
1. Choose the Right Products
A huge audience also means a lot of competition. On TikTok, becoming a trending brand is only a few taps (and luck) away. But all businesses in your niche have the same potential, unless you do something to stand out.
What do you need to do to rise above? It’s quite simple, actually. Find the right product and curate the perfect brand for it.
Learn more about your target audience’s interests, capitalize on your skills, and utilize your resources. May it be jewelry, clothing, or the next trending aesthetic blender, having a genuine interest in what you sell and being passionate about it will help you gain an audience.
Having a brand image that is organic to you and your products will prove to be useful when being compared to other businesses in the same niche. Make sure to have consistent messaging across your platforms, such as email marketing and other social media channels.
If you haven’t found the product yet that ignites your interest, you may want to run through our list of products to sell on TikTok again. Or, if you have another product in mind, you can still use TikTok to help your business. It’s great no matter what!
2. Create a TikTok Business Account
Now that you may have found the right product for you, let’s take a step closer to becoming a trending brand!
Before you can do anything, you’ll need to create your TikTok Business account. You can install the TikTok app on the App Store or Google Play.
- Once you have your TikTok app installed, head to your profile and tap onto the three lines at the top right corner of your screen.
- Tap on Settings and Privacy.
- Head to Manage Account.
- Pick Account Control. From there, you will see the option to Switch to Business account.
Once you have made a TikTok Business account, you will be able to learn more about your audience and gauge video performance through the app’s analytic tools. Access to the Business Creative Hub of the app is also available, which helps you think of unique ways to gain views on your videos.
3. Sync Your Product Catalog with TikTok
This step involves syncing your ecommerce platform, the one you use for your online store, with TikTok. Although not all ecommerce platforms support such integrations, Ecwid by Lightspeed does!
If your online store runs on Ecwid by Lightspeed, you can easily sync your product catalog with TikTok. This means you can add a Shop section to your TikTok profile and make your videos shoppable.
Connect your Ecwid product catalog to TikTok using the M2E Multichannel Connect app (available in the US and UK) or the TikTok Shop Connector app (available in the US only).
Bag the Tik-Tok-In-Demand status!
You finally know how to create your own TikTok Business account, and have reviewed the list of products that took the FYPs of many by storm. It’s time to get to work!
