Question 1

What is Affiliate University?

Accepted Answer

Affiliate University is an agency that teaches new creators how to succeed with TikTok Shop and affiliate marketing. We are partnered directly with TikTok as an agency.

Question 2

What is the Affiliate Funding Program?

Accepted Answer

The Affiliate Funding Program provides creators with free access to TikTok Shop, free products from select sellers, free coaching, and free support to help them start and grow their affiliate accounts without upfront costs. We do this to remove financial barriers so creators can focus on learning, creating content, and earning commissions.

Question 3

Is the Affiliate Funding Program free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it’s free to apply. We don’t charge you upfront for ads, samples, or training. Instead, we earn only when you earn by taking a percentage of the commissions you make on TikTok Shop, anywhere from 0%-50%, depending on your earnings (the higher you make, the less we take)

Question 4

Is there any risk to applying for the Affiliate Funding Program?

Accepted Answer

There is no risk in simply applying for the program. However, if you apply and get accepted to receive free funding, you will need to sign a contract accepting your obligation to post consistently and apply video feedback reasonably.

We require a payment method on file in case of contract breach, since it costs us real money to grow your account, fund samples, coaching expenses, and more.

To fulfill your posting requirements, you must:

- Post at least 14 high-quality videos per week for 3 continuous weeks (42 total videos), starting from the day you receive your first free sample, then at least 5 videos per week after the initial 3 weeks until the contract ends.

OR

- Generate at least $750 in total commissions after the first commission linking request has been accepted.

Question 5

What are the minimum requirements?

Accepted Answer

You must:

- Be 18 years or older
- Have a valid U.S. social security number
- Have a valid payment method under your name. 
- Be able to dedicate at least 10–15 hours per week
- Be okay with showing your face on TikTok or talking to the camera (either)
- Have not been previously banned on the TikTok Shop Program.

Question 6

What happens after I apply for the Affiliate Funding Program?

Accepted Answer

If you meet the minimum requirements, you’ll receive an email with instructions for the next step. This may include a form where you submit a 60-second video explaining why you’re a good fit for TikTok Shop and why you want to start. To improve your chances, be confident, clear, and genuine in your video. Show that you’re serious about putting in the effort and willing to learn. Highlight any experience with social media, creativity, or consistency in posting. We’re looking for people who take feedback, stay consistent, and are motivated to grow.

It’s also important to understand that while there is no upfront cost, a charge may apply if you don’t follow through with the commitments. Acknowledging this responsibility shows us that you take the opportunity seriously.

If your video is approved, we’ll schedule an interview. In the interview, we’ll walk you through how we grow your own account to be TikTok Shop eligible within a week—at no cost to you. We will also explain the expectations, answer your questions, and show you exactly how you’ll start receiving free samples and earning commissions.

Question 9

Are the accounts bought?

Accepted Answer

No, we don’t buy accounts. Buying accounts is often risky and can result in permanent ban. Instead, we help you grow your own TikTok to 5,000 followers (minimum TikTok shop requirement) using our team of dedicated TikTok Ads account managers—at our cost. No cost to you.

Question 10

How do you provide the TikTok Shop accounts?

Accepted Answer

We don’t hand out pre-made accounts. Instead, we guide you step by step to grow your own new TikTok account to meet TikTok Shop’s 5,000 follower requirement through our team of TikTok Ads account managers. You will reach eligibility requirements within a week or so if you follow our step by step guide.

Question 11

How do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

You earn commissions from each sale through your affiliate links. You get paid directly by the TikTok App.

Question 12

How does Affiliate Uni make money?

Accepted Answer

We don’t charge upfront for ads, samples, or training. We only get paid when you do, by taking a percentage of the commissions you earn (0%–50%). If you don’t earn, we don’t earn. It keeps us motivated to provide real support, resources, and guidance to help you grow and almost guarantee your success. Instead of risking money upfront, you only share a portion of what you make once you’re already generating sales. And, the more money you generate over time, the less we take.
