As Amazon's risk control policies and platform supervision continue to tighten, sellers' store operation models are gradually moving towards compliance, refinement, and branding. The initially popular distribution operation model is being eliminated, and the refined distribution model is ushering in spring. However, for sellers, if they want to take the refined distribution operation route, they face considerable challenges. Strong financial and human support have become a headache.
The "New Jingpu" operating model that has dominated the cross-border circle recently has attracted the attention of many sellers. There are even rumors that it is not a dream to use this model to operate Amazon stores with thousands of orders a day, but many sellers say that this "New Jingpu" model is not reliable.
Thousands of orders a day, “New Jingpu” or “New Sickle”?
Recently, a seller broke the news on a social forum that when he was browsing a certain social platform, he accidentally discovered that many people were posting videos touting a new operating model called "Xin Jingpu" and posted related orders and screenshots. The orders showed that some sellers received hundreds or even thousands of orders a day , and the ASIN of the product could be checked by the order number .
In order to verify whether this so-called "New Jingpu" model is really like in the video, the seller queried the ASIN of the product by the order number. The result was surprising. He found that many of them were follow-up links, and there were even stores with hundreds of products that were all follow-up.
Not only that, some sellers put the order number in the screenshot of the video into the Amazon backend for search and verification, but found that there was no such order.
According to sellers’ feedback, most of the “new Jingpu” models currently available on the market are “selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat”. They are either promoting their own ERP or promoting their RMB 9,999 courses. Their purpose is the same, which is to “cut leeks” under the guise of training or services. After you choose to join, they will use your order data to promote you to build an independent website, so that you can combine Amazon and the independent website.
Many sellers said they are well aware of the tricks. What is mentioned above is pure distribution and copycat sales. Once the platform confirms infringement, the sellers will lose both their money and their shops. Moreover, this kind of fraud has formed a mature industrial chain, such as pressing F12 on the web page to change text information and directly purchasing the system through ERP (FBM).
There are many pits inside the pits, and there are nails in the pits, so the surplus value of the sellers has been squeezed out. However, it does not rule out those who have real talents and skills, but there are too many pits on this road, so the majority of sellers need to keep their eyes open.
At present, there are three main Amazon store models that are well-known to everyone. One is the distribution model, which is to drop ship through wholesale websites; one is the brand model, and the big brands we are familiar with, such as Anker, all adopt this model; and one is the new fine store model we mentioned above.
This model was originally to select the better insiders through industry analysis, and then select products according to certain standards from the insiders. After layers of screening, only products with relatively high order volume and profit are left. Some sellers said that this model is indeed desirable, but it has been promoted by some service providers and has deviated from its essence.
Some people spend money to buy comfort, some people spend money to buy lessons; those who teach courses make money, those who buy courses gain something; leeks are still sickles . All I can say is that in the face of interests, sellers should stay sober and face it rationally, so as not to be treated as green leeks and cut again and again.
Training institutions are cutting leeks, and many students are "tricked"
"I started doing this as a side job in October. I received 734 orders with an average unit price of $18 and made $13,212."
"The trainees worked part-time for a year and received more than 8,000 orders, with an average unit price of US$20, and the store's revenue exceeded US$100,000!"
"Fool-style operation, we will teach you step by step, just sit back and wait to make money!"
…
Amazon sellers are well aware of the current overall environment, but some training institutions still make a fuss about how profitable it is to sell on Amazon. As more and more new sellers enter the market, some service providers and training institutions are also trying to "cut the leeks"...
"The training industry tells you that you can make money by selling on Amazon, and the service providers tell you that you can make money by selling on Amazon. Only after you actually do it do you realize that they are the ones who make money." In the eyes of many sellers, the behavior of service providers and training institutions is like cutting leeks, wave after wave, and every move hurts their hearts.
Recently, a group of sellers reported that they were deceived by a service provider. After signing up for a training course, they found that they were completely cheated.
It is understood that the service provider attracted the attention of a large number of novice sellers on the social platform by posing as a big seller on Amazon, and then published a number of so-called practical articles, in which words like "earning tens of millions per year" appeared, which inspired a group of novice sellers to be eager to buy big orders.
The price of the training courses provided by the seller ranges from 3,000 to 4,000 yuan , and the service period is 1 to 3 years. After paying the fee, students can enjoy one-on-one guidance services from professional teachers, VIP courses, guidance on registering stores , etc. However, according to the whistleblower, the students did not enjoy the corresponding services after paying the fees, and they could not contact the other party after a few months. After the students repeatedly asked for a refund, the other party directly disbanded the student group.
"From registering and opening a store to selecting products and then to shipping, promotion, etc., these links give training institutions the opportunity to reap the sellers. In the end, you will find that it is the sellers who are crying to clear their inventory, and the training institutions are smiling and making money." A seller sighed.
An Amazon seller said that many service providers around him are going further and further down the road of cutting leeks. Nowadays, there are service providers in the market who recruit students under the banner of a certain seller earning hundreds of millions of yuan a month. They seize the psychology of novice sellers who want to quickly get orders, induce them to pay fees, and complete the "cutting of leeks."
But overall, there are quite a few sellers who can recognize and identify the tricks of service providers and training institutions. "If it were really that easy, these people would have made a fortune long ago. To sum up, there are three points: first, the real big guys don't have time to share with you; second, people who make money on Amazon won't waste time teaching you how to make money; third, they offer courses to make money from your IQ tax. " A seller concluded in response to the mixed situation in the industry.
However, the existence of some unscrupulous training institutions cannot represent the current situation of the entire training institutions. The existence of some training institutions that can truly share practical information with sellers will definitely be of some help to the industry.
In the view of some experienced practitioners, the price of a training institution is not the most important thing. Really good training is one that can inspire oneself and provide new ideas or directions. When encountering bottlenecks or doubts in operations, participating in training is also a good choice.
Whether training can really help sellers depends on different people. Sellers are at different stages, and the nature of service providers and training institutions are different, so opinions are naturally different . But for novice sellers, no matter which platform they are on, laying a solid foundation and operating steadily is the right path. The so-called rapid explosion of orders may have too many pitfalls.
