Bonus Training: TikTok’s DM Shortcut Feature

In this short bonus lesson, you’ll learn how to use TikTok’s current Board + Arrow feature to make it easier for viewers to request your information during a LIVE.

You’ll discover:

How the Board + Arrow feature works

• Why it’s creating a smoother experience than the traditional banner
• How to set up an automatic DM with your affiliate link
• Why this feature can help improve engagement and LIVE reach
• What to do if TikTok changes or removes the feature in the future

Important: TikTok is constantly testing new features, so tools and options may change over time. This lesson focuses on a feature that’s working well right now, and if anything changes, you can always return to using the banner as a reliable option.
