A wave of account registrations has broken out, and middle school students and village uncles are also joining Amazon...

Outsider: So excited! Amazon, I’m here to make money.

Insider: Look, a large number of little leeks who are greener than funds are coming!

During the peak season for Amazon account registration in the first half of the year, these people were either newbies or bigwigs who had just entered the cross-border circle, or workers who wanted to change their appearance and become bosses, or small and big bosses who already had several accounts and wanted to register a few more. It was Amazon that brought these people together, and it was also Amazon that made these people ask the enduring question:

How much startup capital do I need to start an Amazon business?

Is Amazon still doing well now?

Is it really possible to easily earn over 10,000 yuan a month by working for Amazon?

…

A new round of Amazon account registration boom, even junior high school students have joined ...

The first half of each year is the peak season for Amazon account registration. No matter what the reason, it cannot stop a large number of people from entering Amazon. This year, Amazon is even more popular. It is understood that many Amazon investment managers completed the annual business volume last month, which shows how many new sellers there are this year ...

Yien.com learned that ByteDance's affiliated company Beijing Quantum Leap Technology Co., Ltd. has invested in Starlink, a major cross-border e-commerce exporter. This news means that the super giant is also going to conquer Amazon.

In addition to the super-big guys who have their eyes on the fat piece of meat of Amazon, ordinary people are not surprised either.

An Amazon seller said on Weibo that since the Spring Festival this year, someone like me has been asked every two days on average: Can I still do business on Amazon?

Another seller said that Amazon seems to be particularly popular this year. A junior high school student he knows also wants to learn how to do Amazon and is asking his family to register an account. There are many examples like this:

A: Alas, even the owner of the printing shop at the entrance of the factory alley has started to do Amazon!

B: The uncles who run physical stores in my hometown all asked me if I could work for Amazon since I don’t know English?

C: Whether you go to Shaxian Snacks, Longjiang Pork Trotter Rice, or Haidilao, you can hear passers-by discussing Amazon.

The era of Amazon for all has arrived!

According to a set of data from Marketplace Pulse, in January 2021, Chinese sellers accounted for 75% of Amazon's new sellers.

As can be seen from the above figure, in 2021, 63% of Chinese sellers entered the US site, 80% of Chinese sellers joined the German site, and nearly 80% of Chinese sellers also joined the French, Spanish, British Italian and Japanese sites.

It’s 2021, is Amazon still worth buying?

Many people may ask: It’s 2021 now , is it still easy to do business at Amazon?

Baidu searched and I saw these incredible answers:

Amazon's cross-border e-commerce stores are opened around the world, and you don't need to stock up on goods, and you can easily earn over ten thousand yuan a month .

When opening a cross-border e-commerce store on Amazon, the profit is the foreign exchange price difference. The net profit of a single product is between 50% and 60%. After two months of stability, the profit is between 20,000 and 40,000 yuan.

It only takes 2-4 hours a day to open a cross-border e-commerce store on Amazon . There is still a large gap in the market . The suspension of work and production due to the epidemic abroad is the right time for Chinese sellers to join in!

If you are working, you'd better have a side job . Because life is "too hard", a side job has become a necessity; after the main job, doing a side job in your spare time will definitely make life easier. If you open a store on Amazon, you can run it in your spare time, so you don't have to face any difficulties.

…

Could this be the mysterious force that attracts the uncles at the village entrance to join Amazon? Someone in the game stood at the entrance and wanted to say to these newbies: Hello, young leeks, I am an old leek who doesn’t know when I will be harvested!

"Several people who have just joined the Amazon industry said that they were recommended to do so by their friends. They thought this platform was easy to operate and profitable, but I have a feeling that they were all deceived." An Amazon seller said that Amazon is not a platform where you can get rich overnight, nor is it a platform where you can make money easily. There are more than one or two issues involved. Don't just look at the surface. In fact, a lot of money is tied up in inventory. If the store dies one day, it will be the time for bankruptcy .

A seller on Amazon witnessed people around him enter the market happily and leave in despair: I have seen several factory owners do business on Amazon, find a few people, send goods to them, but no orders are received, the recruited people resign, and then nothing happens ...

There are too many examples of such sad things that make people cry. " Look at the goods in the warehouse, the goods on the sea, the goods in the sky, the goods in the factory, the goods stranded at the port ... Behind every piece of goods that has not been delivered to the consumer, there is a sad story. "

Of course, there are also many people who think that Amazon is not that scary. The winter of cross-border people has always existed, and the spring has never gone away. An Amazon seller said: I personally think that Amazon is the most difficult platform of all, but it is also the best platform, so it is the most worthwhile to do it.

Some people also said that good money drives out bad money, and a large number of talents have poured in, which has undoubtedly made the competition in this industry more intense. However, it has also made this platform develop more positively and steadily, and big sellers are destined to become increasingly difficult to shake. Small and exquisite stores will also flourish everywhere, and those who slack off will eventually be eliminated.

Only time will tell which is good money and which is bad money.

How much money do you need to start working on Amazon?

Friends who want to get into the Amazon industry feel that it is easy to make money with Amazon. Many organizations also use cases like “newbies making $100,000 a month on Amazon” to attract attention when promoting their products . Let’s not talk about whether you can make so much money, but how much start-up capital do you need when you first start working on Amazon?

Many new sellers will ask how much start-up capital is needed to sell on Amazon, but there is no fixed answer to this question. The amount of start-up capital required depends on the average order value of your product and the quantity of the first batch of stock. If you sell products with higher value, the start-up capital will be relatively higher.

The editor also saw different sellers discussing how much money it would take to start a business on Amazon ↓

A: If you do it yourself, the total investment is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

B: If you are using the FBM model and are doing it by yourself, the initial investment is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan;

C: Amazon is very expensive in the early stage. Don’t even think about starting a business if you don’t have 100,000 yuan.

D: Whether you can do business on Amazon depends on the individual. Having more money does not necessarily mean you can do it well, but having less money does not necessarily mean you cannot do it.

One seller said: "In the early stages of starting a business on Amazon, there are some essential costs - company registration, bookkeeping, Amazon's monthly rental fees, logistics fees, and inventory preparation fees. Of course, these are just some of the major costs. As for the minor costs, it varies from person to person. You can start an Amazon business with more than 10,000 yuan, but of course the more money the better."

It was very easy to do business on Amazon in the past few years. Many sellers defined those years as the "era of making money." However, things are different now. Amazon's requirements for sellers have become increasingly stringent, and the trend towards branding has become increasingly obvious. It is no longer so easy to do business on Amazon.

Therefore, sellers must also consider carefully when entering the market ...
