Cross-border e-commerce is becoming more and more popular, and many people are beginning to pay attention to cross-border e-commerce, especially the Amazon platform. Coupled with the epidemic, the Amazon platform has ushered in another development opportunity.
There are currently many new sellers flocking to the cross-border Amazon platform, but they are all new to the cross-border e-commerce industry. Without industry veterans to lead them, they will not be very competitive. There are also some people who have transitioned from China to the Amazon platform and have certain experience in the e-commerce platform. After these people master the rules of Amazon’s integration, they can quickly enter the status quo. There are also traditional domestic traders who have transformed themselves into the Amazon platform.
At present, most Chinese sellers are mainly located in coastal areas, especially those in Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang. There are relatively few sellers in other areas, especially inland, but after the epidemic, there are gradually more inland sellers.
When many people first started doing e-commerce on Amazon, they didn’t dare to go all out to do it full-time because they didn’t understand Amazon’s rules. Instead, they often worked part-time in the early stage and just used their spare time to learn relevant knowledge and low-level skills. Cost operations and understanding the entire operation process are also a good method.
1. Types of individual sellers
Operators who originally worked on e-commerce platforms, after several years of accumulation, started their own business on Amazon. These people are likely to have opened their own shops part-time while working in the early stage, and do it part-time in their spare time. There are also some non-e-commerce employees who, after realizing the opportunity of cross-border platforms, use their spare time to do it. Many of my friends who are now working at Amazon full-time started working part-time, including myself.
There are also some mothers (full-time mothers) who have nothing to do at home, especially women who have been engaged in e-commerce operations or worked in foreign trade companies. They can use relevant industry experience to master the skills more quickly. Some operational knowledge of Amazon, so as to earn some pocket money to supplement the family income.
2. Product Selection for Individual Sellers
Individual sellers are relatively weak in terms of operational experience, team size, and financial strength, so when selecting products, try not to choose Red Ocean, which has relatively high competitive pressure. Markets, but choose some markets where the profits are not so high and the team does not like them, but the income is relatively considerable for individuals. If you choose such a blue ocean market, whether it is financial pressure or competitive pressure, your operational requirements are not that high.
3. Precautions for individual sellers
When you first come into contact with Amazon e-commerce, it is recommended that you start at a low cost, familiarize yourself with the entire process, and understand what should be done at what time. What. After the entire process is thoroughly understood, more people can be invested.
If there is no one to guide me, Amazon will still have many pitfalls. When I first came into contact with Amazon, I made many detours and paid a lot of tuition.
Even so, Amazon is also a good platform for personal entrepreneurship. Every year, a large number of people with e-commerce dreams step into the ranks of cross-border e-commerce, and there are indeed opportunities. As long as you improve your capabilities step by step and improve the quality of your products, you can still build Amazon even if you don’t have as much operational technology and capital as big sellers.
