That's great! Receiving free samples is a huge benefit of being a TikTok Shop creator. It's a fantastic way to build up your content library and earn commission without the upfront cost of buying products yourself.

Here's a breakdown of how the free sample program works and some tips on how to keep the samples coming.

How to Get Free Samples on TikTok Shop
The free sample program is part of the TikTok Shop Affiliate Program. To be eligible to request samples, you must be a creator who has met certain criteria, such as follower count or historical sales. Once you're in the program, you can get samples in a few different ways:

Requesting Directly from Sellers: This is the most common method. You can browse the Product Marketplace within your TikTok Shop Creator Center. Use the "Free Sample" filter to find products that sellers are offering for promotion. When you find a product you like, you can send a request to the seller.

Collab Invites: Sellers may also directly invite you to collaborate. If you're a good fit for their brand, they might offer a free sample as part of the invitation. You can find these invites in your Creator Center under "Collab Invites."

Sample Campaigns: TikTok Shop sometimes runs special, limited-time campaigns where you can get free samples for a specific theme or product category. Look for banners in your Creator Center to join these events.

Key Rules to Follow
Getting free samples isn't just about getting free stuff; it's a collaboration. To keep getting approved for more, you need to fulfill your end of the deal.

Content Obligation: Once a sample is delivered, you typically have 14 days to post content featuring the product. This can be a short-form video that stays public for at least three days, or a TikTok LIVE where you showcase the product for at least 10 minutes.

Product Link: You must include the product link in your content. This is how the seller tracks sales and how you earn your commission.

Be Authentic: Your content should be an honest review. Show how you use the product, what you like about it, and why your audience should consider buying it. Sellers appreciate authentic feedback, and it builds trust with your followers.

Sample Limits: The number of free samples you can have under review or waiting for content at any given time is limited. This limit is often based on your monthly sales volume (GMV). For new creators, this limit is typically five requests at a time.

Fulfilling your sample requests in a timely and effective manner is crucial. Sellers can see your sample fulfillment rate, and a high score will make you a more attractive collaborator for future opportunities.

It's a great program, and it sounds like you're making the most of it. Keep creating quality content, and you'll likely see even more samples coming your way.
