Common questions about our research data, free tools, creator rights, and how to reach us.
All figures are derived from publicly available TikTok and TikTok Shop information — profile fields, public posts, and public product/sales listings. We don't use private APIs, purchased leak databases, or any non-public source. Full methodology is in our Data Sources & Correction Policy.
Our internal research dataset is refreshed on a rolling basis; published reports like the GMV Benchmark Report are updated on a quarterly cadence. Each report shows its sample size and snapshot date.
Among active TikTok Shop sellers, median 30-day GMV is around $584, but the top 5% exceed $18,700. Nano and micro creators generate far more GMV per follower than macro creators. See our Benchmark Report for the full breakdown.
For sales-driven campaigns, 30-day GMV and items sold are more useful commercial screening signals than follower count alone. We therefore compare tiers using commerce performance as well as reach.
No — we don't have reliable data for these fields and intentionally don't estimate or fabricate them. See the "What we don't report" section of our Data Sources policy for the full list of excluded fields and why.
No. The public site does not display private contact details. For selected projects, TK Connect can manually verify contact channels and coordinate relevant business outreach without publishing individual contact details. See our outreach strategy guide for compliant planning guidance.

Email [email protected] with your product category, target tier, and campaign goals. Custom shortlisting falls under TK Connect's managed service rather than the free research site.
