- Hey, everyone, and welcome back.
Today, I'm gonna be reacting
to some of the most viral products
that have been trending on TikTok in this past month.
Plus, I'm also gonna be revealing
the different ways that normal everyday people
are earning money from their products and videos, yay!
My hope is that no matter why you clicked on this video,
it will serve you,
whether it's just because you want to be entertained
by the weird and strange products that go viral on TikTok
or because you want to be inspired,
because I know as an e-Commerce business owner
that I find it inspiring to see other popular products
and other popular ads and marketing strategies.
Seeing them helps inspire me
to find and come up with my own cool trending products,
and to help me come up
with cool advertising and marketing strategies.
So let's start off with our first trending product
for the past month.
The video I'm about to show you
has had nearly 10 million views on TikTok.
Now, please note, this is indeed a family-friendly channel.
When you see this, please do not click away,
and just give this TikTok a chance, okay?
Because I promise you,
it's probably not what you think.
All right, so I've gotta admit
that when I first saw this,
I was thinking,
"TikTok, why are you showing me this video?
I don't think I'm the target market for this product."
But as I watched the video,
I quickly realized that this is actually just a slushy cup.
So you put liquid in,
and then you squish it for 60 seconds,
and then it turns into a slushy.
So yes, I personally think
that this is a very clever way
to market and advertise a product organically.
When you use humor to sell and advertise products,
it doesn't feel like you're being advertised to,
even though you are obviously being advertised to.
So yeah, they've had other videos do pretty well
in the past 30 days,
not just that one.
This is their second most popular one
with over 6 million views. (laughs)
I respect how effective that this is
for going viral,
but, ooh, I don't think that I could make
one of these videos myself.
All right, so obviously,
given the way that the slushy cups look,
there is that way that some people
have chosen to go about
when creating viral videos
to hop on this trending product.
But there's actually another viral strategy
that people have been using,
and that is weird recipes.
Yup, take the next video.
It's had over 2.6 million views.
Look, I like Nutella as much as the next person,
Nutella is delicious,
but I gotta say, that looks disgusting.
Ooh, not like this.
Not like this.
All right, so Nutella plus water,
not a very appetizing looking slushy.
So perhaps we should check out
their next weird recipe video.
This one has had over 11 million views.
Here, to be fair,
I think I'd rather eat this
than I eat the Nutella in the water.
So honestly, when I first saw this,
I couldn't help but think about that company, Vitality Air
that went viral for selling 200,000 bottles of air.
When I saw these video clips of these slushy cups
going viral, my first thought was,
"Okay, I bet they're making money
dropshipping these from AliExpress.
And sure enough they are.
If you come on over to the bio for Squeeznslush
and click on the link that's there,
you'll be taken to their store
where you can purchase one of these for $21.49.
Wow, what happens is that every time a TikTok user comes
and buys a slushy cup,
Squeeznslush will just come on over to AliExpress
and buy one from there.
Currently, you can buy your own slushy cup
from AliExpress for just $13.
And then they'll get the AliExpress manufacturer
to ship the cup straight to the customer, not to them.
And they then get to keep the difference as profit.
This is called AliExpress dropshipping,
and people are using it to make a lot of money
on TikTok right now.
And if you like to learn more

every day from dropshipping,

in the video description below.
But anyway, back to the video,
and onto our next product.
(food clattering)
Ah, now, I don't know about you,
but this is more my style of video.
I love this.
Aren't they so cute?
The little containers look so cute,
and little bottles,
they're so, so cute.
Now, with this video,
yes, part of the appeal is that everything is so cute.
I love it, so little.
But it's also about the sounds for the video.
So those other videos I showed you,
I muted them,
and they were all playing copyrighted music, to be fair,
so I couldn't play the sounds even if I wanted to.
But this one here has no music at all.
And that's a very purposeful choice
that the creator of this video made.
Oh, so cute.
This makes me wanna get my own little mini fridge as well.
See, I don't know about you,
but me, when I watched this,
I just feel so satisfied.
And it's not just about how they efficiently stacked
that cute little mini fridge
with the little bottles and containers.
I mean, don't get me wrong,
that is very satisfying to see too,
but a big part of why this is satisfying to watch
is the noises,
the clicking of the containers,
and the filling of the water bottles.
These are ASMR sounds.
And ASMR sounds are sounds
which are relaxing and satisfying to listen to.
And a lot of research has been done,
and ASMR sounds create tingling sensations
that start at the top of your head
and go down your spine into your limbs.
And this makes you feel relaxed and euphoric,
which is why this is a good example
of a TikTok product trend
that is continuously going viral
and continuously becoming trendy over and over again.
This is not just a once, we're done thing.
Like take this video that went viral in January.
As you're listening and enjoying the ASMR sounds,
and feeling the tinkling sensation
starting at your head going down your spine,
try to guess how many views you think
that this little TikTok has had.
All right, so as you watch this,
listen to the sound of the containers are shuffling
on the kitchen bench,
and listen to the sound of the vegetables
and the fruit being poured and stacked into them.
All ASMR sounds,
all very satisfying and nice to listen to.
It's also very satisfying,
I gotta say, seeing these cute little eggs
all perfectly stacked next to each other, very nice.
And here, so this container that click,
so, you know, you can get cheap containers
with cheap lids,
but when you see this,
you want these nice looking containers
with these beautiful lids
that go satisfyingly click on them.
(glass clattering)
Yes, very cute video, love it.
All right, so now you've seen the video,
how many views do you think that this has had since January?
Get your guesses in now.
The answer is over 60 million views.
So how are they making money from these videos?
Well, the answer's with affiliate marketing.
And their bios on TikTok,
they have a link that goes to the Amazon favorites,
and here, they list all the products
that they used in their videos
like those cute little clicky containers.
Every time that somebody buys something from Amazon
after clicking on their link,
they earn a commission from the Amazon Associates program.
So as you can see,
affiliate marketing is a great option to earn money
with product videos
if you don't like the idea
of having to dropship the products yourself,
and setting up your own online store.
So onto our next viral TikTok product.
The video I'm about to show you
has had near 3 million views,
and no shame,
this is easily my favorite of all of these videos.
So some of you eagle-eyed viewers out there
probably noticed that I'm wearing a T-shirt today.
And this is exactly why I'm wearing a T-shirt
even though I don't usually wear them.
Check out how smart this cute little Frenchie is.
So the food is in there
and they need to get it out.
So, boom, to that. (chuckles)
Aah, so smart.
Aah, so clever.
Now, obviously, it doesn't take a genius
to figure out why this video has done so well.
That little Frenchie is one smart dog.
I wish that my little doggo, Starbuck, was that smart.
And here's the thing, right?
New and exciting dog toys
are continuously going viral on TikTok over time.
And that's because as I talked about in this video here,
a lot of dog owners are super passionate about their pets.
So if they see a toy that they think their dog will like,
they will snap buy it.
And guess what, guys, I'm one of them.
I'm addicted to buying my dog toys.
I'm not ashamed to admit
that I love finding new and exciting ways
to make Starbuck's dinner interesting.
Dogs have a psychological phenomena
in their psyche called contrafreeloading.
They literally prefer to have to work
and play with a toy to get their food
rather than just eat it easily out of a bowl.
And so, as someone that has experimented
with a lot of dog toys,
I can tell you that if you're interested in this niche,
not all dog toys like this one here
will require that you train a dog
to push a button like this one
just to make a video about it.
So for example,
I'm gonna show you another video for a dog toy
that went viral on TikTok last year.
Now, it's for this dog toy here,
the lick bowl.
As you watch this video,
try and guess how many views you think that it's had?
All right, so that lick bowl there
is basically the same as this one here.
It's just a squishy little bowl like this
with little ridges in it.
So what you do with these is you get soft food
the dog can eat,
and you smoosh it around just like that.
And then you put it in the freezer,
and it will freeze,
and then your dog has to lick the food out.
So it's very enriching for a dog to eat this way.
So what a lot of dog owners like to do
is they like to make fun recipes for their dogs.
Now, this looks so disgusting.
Dog food mixed with raw food,
mixed with yogurt,
mixed with raspberries,
mixed with, there is pumpkin.
To a human, this is not looking very appetizing at all,
but to a dog, trust me, they would find that delicious.
All right, so that's the video.
Get your guesses in.
How many views do you think that that video has had?
The answer is over 16 million views.
And trust me, that video
would have been pretty easy to make, so, yes.
How is this little Frenchie making his owners money?
Well, what they've done
is they've set up a simple little website
that they link to any buyer,
which contains affiliate links to online stores
that have the products that they use in their videos.
It's a cute little side hustle and I love it.
So then, what was your favorite product in video?
