Creator Vetting That Converts [Placeholder]
Placeholder cover

This is a placeholder post. It exists to validate the TikSense blog build, not to rank.

A seller who vets creators by follower count alone keeps paying for reach that never turned into orders.

Add a strong first-hand figure here, honestly framed. Never a validated benchmark.

What a seller already has

A big following is a popularity signal, not a conversion signal. The scarce thing is judgment on the specific pairing in front of a seller.

The data a seller sits on is not the problem. Deciding what to do with it is.

The number was never about the creator alone. It's about the specific pairing in front of a seller right now.

A single generic score erases the difference between a beauty audience and a kitchen-appliance audience.

How to do it

Method
  1. 1Pull the shop-content ratio — the share of recent videos that feature products or affiliate links.
  2. 2Check engagement quality, not just engagement volume — look at comment intent.
  3. 3Weight the commerce signal over the popularity signal when the two disagree.
