An Amazon seller lost 700,000 yuan in starting a business, then switched to training and made 1 million yuan!

I heard that many Amazon sellers who can’t make money have gone to do Amazon training …

In recent years, many cross-border sellers have begun to change careers after failing to make it on platforms such as Amazon.

The move of changing tracks seems to be a kind of "desperate survival" after being desperate , but in fact it has allowed some sellers to unexpectedly find a new way to make money.

Since you can’t be a seller, you can be a service provider, especially a training service provider. “It’s true. My friend lost 700,000 yuan when he started a business, but he switched to training and made 1 million yuan!” Currently, training service providers have become the next gold-digging track for many Amazon sellers.

In addition to training service providers, the editor found that many Amazon sellers have special skills. Even if they stop working for Amazon one day, they can still be joke tellers, psychological counselors, or pick up bottles ...

An Amazon seller lost 700,000 yuan in starting a business , but then made 1 million yuan by switching to training!

“If I don’t do Amazon anymore, what else can I do?”

The old topic of changing careers has become active again recently.

The editor has found that a large number of sellers who are currently in a period of confusion are turning their attention to the training industry: if they cannot be sellers, they can become training service providers and serve sellers.

In their opinion, although training institutions are surrounded by negative news, at this juncture, training is much less risky than working with Amazon.

More importantly, training makes more money than Amazon .

Vivid examples one after another are verifying the fact that the training institution industry has a bright future.

An Amazon seller said that a friend of a colleague of his lost 200,000 yuan when he started an Amazon business a few years ago , and then lost another 500,000 yuan when he started another business. Later, he started a training business and made one million yuan directly !

Another Amazon seller also said that Zhang used to do business on Amazon, but he couldn't continue last year, so he switched to being a training service provider and earned back all the money he lost in the past three years in just one year ...

It is understood that many training institutions charge a lot of money. Many factory owners are willing to pay 60,000 yuan in tuition fees. Some people even pay 100,000 yuan to learn Amazon ...

" If someone teaches you how to make money, then it must be that teaching you how to make money is more profitable than doing it himself . The so-called making a fortune in silence is the same principle. " An Amazon seller said that many Amazon sellers who cannot make money have gone for Amazon training. The training institutions are just like you, thinking about making money from Amazon, while they are thinking about making money from you.

“There are leeks every year, and they grow again with the spring breeze! It’s like this in every industry, where there is demand there are people who provide it.” With so many novices pouring into cross-border e-commerce exports this year, I’m sure the majority of sellers have experienced it in many dimensions. The first step for many novices to understand the cross-border e-commerce industry is to sign up for training courses.

The editor learned from CCTV Finance that a certain cross-border e-commerce college said that the number of students enrolled this year has increased by more than 200% compared with the same period last year . The head of the college said, "In March and April, Amazon opened about 3,000 to 4,000 stores every day, and there are many people who want to work in this industry.

Amazon's annual bestseller: From getting started to changing careers

Nowadays, various cross-border e-commerce trainings are emerging one after another, but the training industry is a mixed bag, and not everyone will tell novice sellers how to make money from the bottom of their hearts.

Many unscrupulous training service providers have hyped up Amazon, and the leeks have been destroyed one after another . It is understood that many sellers who participated in the so-called "thousands of orders a day" training not only failed to realize their dreams of becoming rich, but also lost their wealth.

One seller said that he was a rookie who received 20,000 yuan in training fees, and he has been losing money since last year . Now he wants to change his career and is questioning his life after clearing out his inventory. There are many sellers who have similar experiences.

From the high spirits of entering the industry to the helpless withdrawal in the end, many sellers' mentality has undergone the following changes ↓↓↓

Before entering the industry : Amazon is so high-end.

Onboarding : Hungry for knowledge.

Rising stage : Amazon can still make money.

Downhill stage : I feel tired, there are so many after-sales services , and my hair starts to fall out.

Struggle stage : Should I change jobs? Never mind, I'll just give it a try.

Give up resistance : Forget it, I'll consider changing careers. Amazon is a tiring pit. You have to fake orders and get bad reviews. This is a capital market. If you don't have money, you'd better exit as soon as possible.

These Amazon sellers may have different reasons for entering the industry and have experienced different failures, but they all use their personal experiences to make the annual bestseller of cross-border e-commerce, "Amazon - From Getting Started to Changing Careers," increasingly thick.

From the initial dream of having thousands of orders a day to now just wanting to clear out the inventory and leave, what is the reason that drives these sellers to change careers?

"Last year was heaven, this year is hell"! Many cross-border sellers have thoroughly experienced the feeling of their happiness index falling rapidly from a high altitude.

Recently , the keywords of the cross-border e-commerce industry have been occupied by " account blocking, bankruptcy , closure, layoffs, career change ... " After the successive incidents of super sellers such as Youkeshu, the sellers' looming sense of crisis has also grown rapidly under the watering of account blocking incidents.

The platform’s ability to block orders at will made an Amazon seller lament: The biggest risk of doing business on Amazon is Amazon.

In order to escape from this daily lack of security, many sellers choose to change careers.

Of course, there may be many other reasons why sellers choose to leave Amazon, but the bottom line is: their hearts are broken, but they still can’t make any money!

Amazon sellers are really good at talking.

“If I stop working for Amazon, what else can I do?”

At present, many Amazon sellers are thinking about this problem. Weibo blogger "Wu Ye" also combined his friends' and his own ideas and gave 7 solutions ↓↓↓

1. Cross-border e-commerce training ;

2. Cross-border e-commerce enterprise management consulting ;

3. Japanese language training ;

4. Stock trading ;

5. Pick up bottles ;

6. Psychological counseling for sellers .

7. Go back to my hometown to farm , raise chickens , fish, and do self-media by the way.

Are the above thoughts also what you think in your mind?

In fact, there are many more "opportunities" for Amazon sellers . In today's society, "being able to speak" is also a skill, and "being able to speak" can also be converted into money. Many Amazon sellers who have experienced ups and downs on the platform have actually already mastered the essence of making people laugh, and they can tell jokes whenever they open their mouths.

For example, Seller A said:

Amazon's new four kings emerged ↓↓↓

Wu Sangui: One counter for swiping, one counter for delivery, one counter for flash sales ;

Zheng Chenggong: As long as we can give it away, it is considered a success ;

Zhang Sanfeng: Block account, block brand, block funds ;

Oboi: If you wait a little longer, all your family fortune will be squandered .

Seller B said:

I have a friend who is engaged in cross-border e-commerce. He has bought his fifth Porsche so far . He said that he just likes Porsche. Later, he pulled me into the industry to work for Amazon. It took me only one year to make more than 200,000 yuan.

To be honest , I have never owed so much money in my life...

Seller C said:

Just now I saw an Amazon seller I knew before picking up mineral water bottles on the road. I felt so bad. I never thought that my former friend would now become my competitor.

Seller D said:

Spiral left, A10 right , and I can travel to any mountain or peak.

Seller E said:

Only those who endure the most hardships can be called people under the bridge ...

What would you, who are “eloquent”, say?
