In this video, I break down a beginner-friendly way to earn affiliate commissions from TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts without filming, without followers, and without selling your own product. The core angle is TikTok Shop Affiliate—post short videos about trending products, drop your affiliate link, and get paid when someone buys. I also explain why most people quit fast: doing this manually is a grind (product research, script writing, editing, captions, and posting across platforms every day). Then I demo the “AI video factory” workflow using ShopReelAI. You enter a niche (like home gadgets), and it pulls trending products with social proof and commission rates, generates 20–35 second videos with b-roll and captions, writes multiple scripts, creates the affiliate link, and lets you schedule posts across the big three short-form platforms. The big takeaway: automation is the only way this model stays consistent long enough to work—because consistency is what most people can’t maintain when they’re doing everything by hand.
