     This was the time that I started to gain interest in the TikTok app. My aunt is into online selling and that influenced me to try TikTok shop. I always saw her watching live selling and decided to explore the app. I saw this cute black air pods on TikTok shop that has its own clear case and a cute design. I read all the reviews and how many products was sold just to make sure that it was a legit sale. When I try ordering it, I was skeptical at first because it was too cheap for an air pod, and I was worried that the product will turn out to be of low quality. But fortunately, that was not the case. My air pod was delivered after 4 days only. It was smaller than I expected, but other than that, the quality was good.

I think that it was a safer option because I got to see the product first before paying and it is more reliable than paying online.       Some factors that affec...

He also does TikTok live after releasing his new designs in order to display new releases so the costumers can interact with him in real-time, answer costumers' concerns and also for him to ...
