He has not received any commission in three years of operations work, but he is making 30,000 yuan a month... What's the problem?

There will always be a day when you can make money by working for Amazon!

——Source: A famous person

Before we know it, 2022 has officially arrived. Standing at the intersection of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, a large number of Amazon operations are looking back on the road they have traveled in 2021, commonly known as the 2021 annual summary. Everyone has different work experience, different companies, different cities, different achievements, and different annual summaries... But none of this matters!

What’s more important is, how are you doing as an Amazon operator in 2021? How much money have you made? How much is your monthly salary? Is your base salary high? Is your commission high?

It is reported that those who are satisfied with their work can earn up to 30,000 yuan per month during the peak season ; those who are not satisfied with their work, even if they have been in the industry for three or four years, can get less than 1,000 yuan in commission during the peak season. The even worse ones are those who have not received any commission since they entered the industry.

The gap in operating commissions is too large, what’s the problem?

Envy: The base salary of an operation worker born in 1996 is over 10,000 yuan, and you can get commissions not long after starting the operation

Many Amazon operators believe that they had a pretty good year in 2021.

An operator said that he received commissions not long after he entered the industry , and is doing very well now . During the peak season when sales are the best, he can get 30,000 yuan in commissions every month . He thinks that working for Amazon is still worthwhile and he is very glad to have entered the Amazon industry.

There is another operator who is also doing well in the Amazon industry and has achieved the company's top sales result, but his operation road was not smooth. At the beginning, due to his introverted personality, he was still a novice in operations for more than a year after entering the industry . Fortunately, the company's boss is kind, and after realizing his shortcomings, he began to take the initiative to learn how to solve problems. Hard work pays off, and now Amazon is doing better and better.

Another operator did not disclose how long he had been in the industry and how much he had received commissions, but his monthly income was very considerable. This operator said that when he first graduated, he joined a distribution company, but after working for two months, he felt that there was no future and decisively resigned, and chose to work in a boutique company. Not only did he learn a lot more in the boutique company than in the distribution company , but he also received a lot more monthly salary .

According to the feedback from operators, many people believe that boutique companies have a better future and can make more money, but many operators also believe that mass merchandising is actually very profitable. If a hit product is produced, the profit will be amazing. One mass merchandising operator said that the monthly commission can now reach about 2,000 yuan.

"Whenever life doesn't go my way, I'll complain about Amazon. Occasionally, I'll think about changing careers. But deep down, I still think Amazon is great." Many operators believe that Amazon is still an excellent platform to help losers make a comeback.

It’s so hard to make money! Amazon operation: I didn’t get any commission in 2021

In the past 2021, many operations did not have a good time. In the eyes of these operations, getting commissions is really an unattainable thing.

“ You may not know what it means to not receive any commission for a year and only receive basic salary .

We usually only use five words to describe this kind of people: Amazon Operations!!!! "

As the Spring Festival approaches, a large number of operators feel that they can't see any benefits. This statement accurately summarizes their 2021.

"What does growth look like? I haven't seen it this year. I have been relying on the basic salary all year round. After deducting the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation, I have saved less than 10,000 yuan in total now," said an operator. He is so short of money that he doesn't even want to go home for the New Year.

Another operator was luckier. In the first half of 2021, he at least successfully joined the "commissioned army", but was kicked out in the second half. Overall, 2021 was also very miserable, and the money earned throughout the year was less than half of last year.

Amazon's operating income is linked to many factors, one of which cannot be ignored is the changes in Amazon's overall environment. In 2021, a large number of newcomers, soaring freight costs, European tax reforms, a wave of account bans, shipping restrictions and other unfavorable factors have come to visit. Many Amazon companies were caught off guard and fell into trouble, and the operators were also "sad".

" In the second half of this year, due to European tax compliance and market influences, I haven't received any commission for several months and have to survive on a basic salary ," said a European station operator. Due to tax withholding issues, the company's product profits have declined, which has had a huge impact on his income. Now, not only has his commission disappeared, but he also has to clear inventory day after day, and he doesn't know if he can clear it all by the year after next.

"After the European tax reform came into effect, our boss took the opportunity to reduce the commission rate by two percentage points." It is reported that in order to save themselves, some companies first thought of reducing employee expenses; some companies would lay off employees to maintain normal operations, and after employees left, commissions were not paid for several months ; of course, some companies with financial difficulties not only could not pay commissions, but even the basic salary could not be paid on time. Some operators only received the basic salary for September in December ... Operators who encountered similar problems complained bitterly.

In addition to Europe, many companies in other markets are also struggling this year. Employees can’t wait for the company to lay off employees, so they run away. “ I joined this new company at the beginning of this year. So far , the number of colleagues in the company has been reduced from nearly 20 to only a few . Many of the colleagues who left have been old employees who have been there for three or four years.   ", said the operator, who has been in the company for less than a year but has already become the oldest employee. The few employees who remain will most likely leave next year.

I haven’t received any commission in three years of operation . What’s the problem?

Every small shock in the cross-border e-commerce export industry is a life-or-death situation for many Amazon companies. It is a difficult task for companies that are in deep trouble to get out of the predicament and start again. Can employees resign and change companies to start over to save the bleak income?

"I've been in my own company for two or three years, and my base salary is just over 10,000 yuan, with very little commission. The newcomer I led changed jobs not long ago. Although he has less experience than me, his current salary is higher than mine. Sometimes choice is more important than hard work ," said an operator. Factors such as the company's commission points , product categories , and promotion support have all led to disparities in operator salaries.

In addition to the constraints of the overall environment and the company's commission system and development model, personal operational capabilities and skills are also of paramount importance . One operator reported that he had been working at Amazon for three years but had never received a commission. He clearly knew the key problem: "I am an introvert, have a poor ability to learn on my own, and don't know how to think when encountering problems, nor do I know how to ask questions."

Operations may know the idea of ​​making products, but the difficulty lies in the ability to control details. When should ads be adjusted? When should prices be adjusted? When should inventory be cleared? ... Every detail is a learning. Therefore, many times, good companies and good products still require Amazon operations to have matching capabilities to control them.
