Personal Shoppers Cash in on TikTok Live

TikTok users are turning to TikTok livestreams for virtual personal shopper services.

This holiday season, some busy holiday gift buyers are turning to TikTok for gifts and collectibles. But beyond TikTok Shop, users are also turning to TikTok livestreams for virtual personal shopper services without having to step foot in a store. 

The livestreamers are full-time shoppers who spend hours in discount department stores like TJ Maxx, HomeGoods and Marshalls on the hunt for viral products or fandom collectibles that are hard to find. 

“Everyone is looking for the hot pink Hello Kitty. Valentine’s Day blankets. OK. They’re looking for any of the throw blankets, glitz-and-glam brushes,” Rita Colon said. 

Colon, who lives in New Jersey, has been a full-time personal virtual shopper for a year. 

This year, she said, she has shipped over 2,700 packages around the country.
