A mastermind by Attention Economy Club

Run TikTok Shop like a $40M operator.

Attention Economists is the mastermind for brand owners who want TikTok Shop to be a real revenue channel. Weekly calls, a private community, the templates we run the channel on, and direct access to the operators behind Attention Economy Club.

For brand owners and the teams they hire. Not for creators.

01 / The problem

Most brands are guessing.

TikTok Shop is a full commerce engine inside an entertainment app. Most brands treat it like an ad platform, then wonder why the numbers never add up.

  • 01

    Samples go out. Content doesn't come back.

    Seeding without a system is a donation program. You pay for product and shipping, then hope the creator posts.

  • 02

    The agency sends GMV. Nobody sends margin.

    A screenshot of gross sales says nothing about fees, samples, commissions, or whether the channel made money.

  • 03

    You can't tell operators from resellers.

    Everyone has a case study. Few have run a shop through a cold start, a settlement, and a Q4.

What this fixes

Understand the TikTok Shop growth machine well enough to build the team that runs it, or judge the agency running it. Then manage either one by the numbers.

02 / The curriculum

Three parts. One operating system.

The order is the point. Foundations before the engine, the engine before you hire anyone to run it.

  1. Part oneFoundations

    The hard truth about who should be on TikTok Shop, and how to pick your lane before you spend a dollar. A readiness checklist, a launch-first gate, and the fundamentals every operator should know cold: SPS and PPS, the fee structure, and how cash actually moves through the channel.

    • The hard truth
    • Lane-picking
    • Readiness checklist
    • Launch-first gate
    • SPS / PPS
    • Fees & cash flow
  2. Part twoThe Engine

    How the growth machine is built. Your brand page, a core creator list, calculated sample seeding and how to measure sample efficiency, creator community, content repurposing, and GMV Max run with real ROI nuance, including the ROI Protection trap.

    • Brand page
    • Core creator list
    • Calculated seeding
    • Sample efficiency
    • Community
    • Repurposing
    • GMV Max
    • ROI Protection trap
  3. Part threeBuild & Manage

    Turn the knowledge into a team. The in-house org chart in the order you should actually hire it, the agency-buyer lens for judging anyone who wants to run your shop, and the weekly KPIs that tell you whether the channel is working.

07 / FAQ

Questions, answered

01

Is Attention Economists for creators?

No. It's for brand owners, founders, and the people they hire to run TikTok Shop. Creators should look at AEC's creator program instead.

02

Do I need to be an AEC client?

No. Membership is independent of agency services. Many members will never hire an agency; that's partly the point.

03

I already work with an agency. Is this still useful?

Yes. Part Three teaches the agency-buyer lens and the weekly KPIs you should hold any partner to. Most agency relationships go wrong because the brand can't tell what good looks like.

04

We haven't launched yet. Is it too early?

Part One opens with the hard truth, lane-picking, and a readiness checklist. If you're deciding whether to launch, that's exactly where to start.

05

What if I miss a weekly call?

Every call is recorded and added to the library, usually within a day.

06

How much time does it take?

One weekly call, plus optional office hours. The resources and templates are built to be used on the job rather than studied.

07

How do I join?

Join through secure checkout with Stripe. You get community access, the resource library, and every template on day one.

08

What does it cost?

$15,000 for a year of membership, paid once. Founding members pay $7,500 (50% off) while the 10 founding seats last.
