Q: "I should grow to 10k followers before turning on a shop, right?"
A: That threshold is a myth left over from old story-link rules. TikTok Shop and Instagram product tags don't require a big follower count — they require an approved catalog and an eligible account. Waiting to hit some number just delays your first sale.
What actually gates selling:
— Account eligibility and region support
— A connected, approved product catalog
— Business/creator account type set up correctly
Plenty of accounts make Shop sales from cold reach with a few hundred followers, because buyers come from the For You feed, not your follower list.
Also worth knowing: small accounts often convert better early because the audience is highly self-selected.
