How do you fill in a TikTok Shop script?

  1. Pick the format

    Result first for a visible outcome, old way vs new way for gadgets, made me buy it for trending products.

  2. Write the benefit in five words

    If you can't, the hook won't land either.

  3. Read it aloud once

    Cut every word you stumble on, then film or generate it.

  4. Make three versions

    Change only the hook. One opening can flop where the next sells.

Step 4: three versions, only the hook changed

Version A
Version B
Version C

  2. Old way vs new way

    The habit it replaces.

  3. Made me buy it
