Hook

Controversial hooks

Strongly challenging conventional wisdom or expressing frustration, with an opening such as “stop wasting your time,” quickly captures attention. It raises a problem many viewers recognize or dissatisfaction with existing solutions, positioning the product as a better alternative and supporting stronger conversion.

Formula

First-person POV

This perspective makes viewers feel as though they are experiencing it firsthand. Handheld selfie shots show product details and the usage process, creating an immersive sense of authenticity that brings viewers closer and sparks purchase interest.

Selling angle

Value angle

Emphasizing a price advantage can effectively encourage purchases. Creators should directly show the size of the discount or compare the product’s price with similar options on the market, making its value immediately clear. Messages such as “cheaper on TikTok Shop” or “half price” address a decisive factor for buyers.

Script timeline

  1. User Pain Points

    Beauty items that are not worth the money, and a few that are. Extensions in a salon? Not worth the money. Goo Goo or WENALIFE tape-ins on Amazon, that is worth the money. Miu Miu glasses, except they're not Miu Miu, you can get them on Amazon. Getting your nails done, not worth it. These are Amazon, six bucks, and this nail glue will make them last over a week.

  2. Comparison of Selling Points

    Charlotte Tilbury foundation, not worth it. e.l.f. Halo Glow is that girl, performs better and is worth the hype. Going to get your lashes done, not worth it, use TikTok Shop DIY lash clusters. Going to get hair gloss, just use this at home. Any fancy skincare, CeraVe or generic lotion and Differin is all you need.

  3. Real Experience

    This was me three years ago, no filter. Filler is not worth it, it can swell and be overdone. Sculptra is what you should get, it triggers your body's own collagen. If you want a tan without the sun and a natural glow, astaxanthin is so worth the money.

  4. Product Differences

    Dossier perfumes: Byredo Blanche is $300 a bottle, and Airy Linens is almost an exact dupe. Tasman slippers, these are $30 knockoffs off TikTok Shop, nobody can tell the difference. Native-made jewelry and Cheekbone Beauty makeup palette are worth every penny.

  5. Call to Action

    KimChi Puff Puff Pass powder is very worth it. Perfume sample packs before getting the full thing are so worth it. I love Crumish sniffs. If you have recommendations for layering scents, please drop them in the comments.
