Filming guide · 2 min
How to get good videos
One rule matters most. The rest is a quick checklist.
Film it working.
Not the box. Not the product sitting there. Film it doing its job — and the result.
We can only show what you filmed. No shot of it working = no video. We'll tell you that, not fake it.
Film these four
- ✓It working + the result — do this twice. This one sells.
- ✓The product close up — filling the screen.
- ✓The problem — what it fixes.
- ✓The finished result — in your hand.
Keep filming more. Extra takes are never wasted.
Then send us
- ·Everything you filmed
Don't throw away the "bad" takes. More clips = more genuinely different videos. - ·Three facts
Its name. What it does for a real person. One TRUE detail. No true detail? Leave it empty — we'd rather say nothing than make it up. - ·A few real reviewsoptional
Customer words make it sound real, not like an ad. Skip it and the video still works.
Four things that ruin it
- ×Product too small — we can't make it the star.
- ×Product at the edge — we cut to phone shape. Edges get chopped off.
- ×Shaky video — we can't fix it.
- ×Someone else's watermark — TikTok thinks you copied. Your video dies quietly. Check your clip.
Malaysia · TikTok's own rule
TikTok punishes junk, not volume
Post 5 or more lazy or misleading shop videos in a week → TikTok cuts you to 7 a week. The extra videos lose their product link, so you earn nothing from them.
It's not a limit. It's a punishment for junk. Post real videos → no limit at all.
"Lazy" in their words: videos with nothing happening. A photo. The product just sitting there.
Same as our one rule: film it working.
Also: 1,000+ followers to become an Affiliate Creator · 5 accounts max per IC · never fake a result. All from TikTok Shop Malaysia's own pages — we left out the US-only rules other guides mix in.
What we can't do
Fake a demo you never filmed · remove a moving watermark (nobody can) · fix bad shake · make 5 different videos from 1 short clip · invent facts about your product.
The deal
Film it working. Send everything. Give us three facts. → videos worth posting.
Skip it? We still make you something. It'll be weaker — and we'll tell you why instead of pretending.
No promises about views or sales. Just this: your videos are built from what you actually filmed, they say only what's true, and we tell you straight when your footage can't carry the video you want.
