You're scaling on TikTok Shop...
 GMV looks amazing...
 But somehow your profits are disappearing.

In this episode, Jordan breaks down why TikTok Shop sellers are quietly bleeding cash—and how to plug the holes before it's too late. We walk through the real math behind a $100 order, the creator commission trap, fulfillment pitfalls, and platform fees that sneak up on even the most seasoned operators.

This isn’t just about sales volume.
 It’s about contribution margin—the number that actually keeps the lights on.

If you're on TikTok Shop or planning to scale, you can’t afford to miss this one.

  • Why GMV is a dangerous metric to chase blindly
  • The creator commission structure that's gutting your margins
