Get up, bricks!


My C position

Many sellers who have set their sights on the cross-border e-commerce track do not simply want to make some pocket money. A considerable number of sellers want to achieve financial freedom because the money-making effect of cross-border e-commerce in the past few years has been too obvious.

Although I know that part of it is survivor bias, I still feel that I will be a trendsetter of that era (I am the same)

I am a solo seller on Amazon.
I have been doing this for 3 years and can only earn some pocket money (about 10,000 RMB)
I don’t know how to improve it? There are two people around me who sell 1688 general goods and they both make millions a year.
One is for fine shops, the other is for fine products.

Now I am a little anxious, I want to ask:
Amazon sellers who earn millions a year and achieve financial success
How is this done?

If you have just entered the industry, or if your company's operations salary is less than 8,000 yuan per month, then your first goal should be to earn 100,000 yuan per year. To work in a company, you need to develop a successful product and get a stable commission of around 3,000 yuan per month to achieve this.

For those of you who are just starting out, you need to first create 1-2 profitable products and generate a stable 50-60 orders per day. It’s easy to earn $100,000 a year, but in your first year on Amazon, your money is in the goods, not in your cards.

For sellers who have been working alone and have at least 2 stable and profitable products or have worked in a company for more than 2 years and have a basic salary of more than 8,000, your second goal is to earn 240,000 yuan a year. Why 240,000 yuan? Because the income ceiling for most ordinary people is 20,000 yuan a month.

Working in a company, an annual income of 240,000 yuan has actually reached the ceiling for many operations positions.

If you work in a small company, you can only earn 20,000 yuan a month if you have a boss who is willing to share the profits.

If you are in a large company, you need to be a company manager and lead the team to achieve performance targets. The management of Shenzhen companies have a minimum monthly salary of 15,000 yuan plus the team's performance commission. It is not difficult to earn 240,000 yuan a year. The difficulty lies in the stability of team members because team members may only earn a few thousand yuan a month.

If you are working alone, you need at least 3-5 stable and profitable products. After deducting personal expenses and the hidden costs of not working, you can earn 240,000 yuan a year working alone, which is much more than working. The difficulty of working alone is that the risks are all your own. You need to take care of the inventory and the payment by yourself.

When you succeed in working on your own or become stable in the company's management, your next step is to think about an annual income of 500,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan can be said to be the income threshold for 90% of people in the industry. The annual profit of many small and medium-sized enterprises is only more than 1 million yuan.

To earn 500,000 yuan a year, you must be a director in a large company, a startup partner in a small company, or a service provider with a stable customer base. You need to work in the industry for more than 3 years to get this income.

Or to put it another way, anyone who earns $500,000 a year has earned it by going deep into an industry, understanding the nature of the industry, and earning more than other people in the industry. This higher income can break through the $500,000 a year threshold, followed by $1 million a year. In the cross-border e-commerce field, this requires exclusive products or category trends. Through category trends, the energy accumulated in previous years can be released. It's only a matter of time before you reach $1 million. At this point, you have often already become the top link in the category.

To earn more than 3 million yuan a year, this requires a mature and competitive corporate operation team, and an advantageous product supply chain that can combine elements of different categories of hits to continuously create more hits of its own.

Making small money is the ancestor of big money. Making money is not about bursting out, but accumulation. Making big money is often the outlet of the times.
The so-called financial freedom is to gradually build up the ability to make money and generate passive income at any time.

That's pretty much the situation. It also depends on luck. The same company, if you join at different times and make different products, will have different results.

The boss said it well, it's based on experience. There is no big threshold for ordinary people to start a business, so if you can stay stable, make a little money, accumulate your wealth, have the opportunity to hit the right spot, and work hard to make more money, this is also a kind of happiness.





zhaojianfei0124 - Post-90s Amazon seller, studied in the United States for 4 years, Guangzhou native

I was quite touched when I saw this post. Let me briefly introduce myself.


I graduated from the United States in 2017, and first joined Vipshop as a management trainee, and then joined Carlsberg, a foreign company, as a salesperson. I have been working in cross-border business since July 2021.


At the beginning, I took out 200,000 yuan and kept trying for the first year and a half. To put it bluntly, I was losing money. Then suddenly a product became popular. I had been working on this product for more than a year. After three months of popularity, I suddenly received an infringement notice. It was an infringement! ! I lost tens of thousands of yuan in a flash. At that time, I foolishly sent air freight to ensure that there would be no shortage of goods.


From that time on, I stopped selling general goods and started selling high-quality goods. I developed all the products myself (actually, my partner developed them and I operated them). Then in the second half of 2023, I started to make money. Although I made money, as the boss said, the money was in the goods. From then on, I should have a monthly turnover of 600,000 RMB. Of course, compared with everyone here, I am just a nano-level seller.


Then at the end of 2023, the brand went bankrupt. Both brands went bankrupt. I don’t know if I will be fine after reapplying. I feel uncomfortable if nothing goes wrong every month on Amazon. It’s lucky if there are no major problems a year. What can I say? Come on, slowly explore. I think it’s better to be steady when doing Amazon. You can’t do it half-heartedly. It’s a long-term career! Tomorrow will be better. Come on!

For example, my boss can earn 400,000 yuan a month just by drinking tea in the office. When I started working at Amazon in 2000, the office was only about 30 square meters. I assembled several computers. I worked alone in the office for half a year and achieved results until now. Until now, my boss and leaders have only a vague understanding of Amazon. There are six people in the office, and four of them are relatives of the boss.


However, the two stores I started last year have a monthly profit of 120,000 to 130,000 yuan. With the company's commission, my monthly income is nearly 200,000 yuan. I still have a lot of ideas about products in my head, but my energy is limited, so I have already resigned. I will work alone next year and strive to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.


Now I have a goal. I was born in 1998 and my wife is two years older than me. My goal is to buy her a large flat before she turns 30 as a birthday present, and also to make up for her leaving her hometown and coming to a strange city with me.

120,000 RMB per month, gross profit margin 20%, monthly sales 600,000 RMB ÷ 7 = 85,000 USD per month

People are never satisfied. When you earn 10,000 yuan a month, you will want to earn 20,000 yuan a month. Once you reach that, you will want more. You will never be satisfied (don’t say that a certain monthly income is enough. Basically, people have not achieved it. If they really achieve it, they will only want more)


More profits mean more investment. If you earn 10,000 yuan a month and have been in business for three years, it is highly likely that your cash flow has been activated and you have cash on hand. You can take out 30% every year to launch new products. If you come across something you can do, you will enter the next stage, with higher profits, and then replenish more goods, and your cash flow will be locked again, hahahaha.


Since you posted that you are willing to change, try more and open more products. The overall environment is getting worse and worse. If you don't make progress, you will regress. If profits don't continue to rise, your current profits will sooner or later be slowly eaten away by competing products.

I have been doing this for 3 and a half years, and I have achieved an annual income of 60, but the overall store is indeed on a downward trend. I am in a steady growth trend, and the average monthly profit in units of years is 1-2-6-6. Basically, it is a precipitation growth of accumulation. If you are still averaging 1 per month, you lack products that can continuously make profits in the long run.


There is no other way. When developing, the main supporting profit products must meet the following requirements: update and replace products with less hard demand of 4.5 points or above, and develop some trendy products as supplementary profits. My products are not bright in the east but bright in the west, so the overall profit changes little and grows slowly.

I earn 100 million yuan a year by selecting products on 1688. I can’t earn money by just sitting and drinking tea every day. I have to keep selecting products. I would like to express my thoughts:


In fact, many people in e-commerce or entrepreneurship rely more on opportunities. The environment for entering the market now is very different from that in 2020 because of the epidemic. Before the epidemic, we charged long-term inventory fees for the products we launched. After the outbreak of the epidemic, those products increased in price and were quickly out of stock.


If you entered the market in 20 years and are still doing so-so, it means you are not working hard enough or you are trying too hard or you don’t understand the rules of the platform. So timing and experience are very important, and diligence is indispensable. Basically, you should choose a category in the early stage, and then continue to select products along the existing categories in the later stage. You don’t need to have 20 orders a day for one link, 5-10 orders with a profit of 30 will also be fine. But we have 100 links. After all, those who work alone basically do fine shopping. The supply chain is not strong and is very scattered.

Luck accounts for a part, timing accounts for a part, personal ability accounts for a part, family background accounts for a part, flexibility accounts for a part, courage accounts for a part... I have to sigh that entrepreneurship does have its charm. Accumulate funds to fully guarantee your life.


If you work only to accumulate experience but fail to fully utilize the experience, it will eventually become a tool for your boss to make money.
Several of my former colleagues worked in their previous companies for a long time, but left for unknown reasons and submitted their resumes to my company.



After leaving the company, they cannot get the commissions from the old links they have accumulated. When they go to a new company, they need to slowly accumulate products to get a higher commission. Although it is very difficult in the early stage of starting a business, it is really great to earn a million yuan a year after starting a business. Ordinary workers may only save two or three million yuan in their lifetime.

I have made over 3 million yuan and currently employ two operators and four packagers.


I work in the auto parts business, so I can’t go into too much detail, but my colleagues in the industry should know that what I say is true, and I’m even a bit ignorant.
The previous boss made a fortune of 790,000 yuan, and now he has built a company with more than 60 employees.
 
This kind of big money comes from some very interesting categories. We operate very poorly, and we can even apply for an operation assistant in Shenzhen. Maybe it's because of the category. Basically, big sellers will not pay attention to this category. The profit is considerable, and there is a certain threshold. Basically, a little bit adds up to a lot.
 
The second type is H production, making F brands, usually on the eBay platform. In the two months before Christmas, they made 1 million yuan, and usually they just maintain the account.
The third type is the small domestic e-commerce boutique track. Although you earn less, at least you don’t have to worry about Amazon every day, and you can still make 1 million yuan a year.
 
In summary, this kind of gameplay is not a regular general product. It requires proficiency in the policies of various platforms, and even the ability to discover demand points and avoid competition, which generally results in good profits.

In fact, there is something called network sense, which is difficult to acquire through constant training. Some people's sense of the track, the product, the flexibility and understanding of the playing method are really difficult to deliberately practice.

Yes, my husband used to work for Wish, but he switched to Amazon. He doesn’t know how to develop and operate, but almost none of his products are unsalable. He studied my advertising methods and was able to find his own ideas and then optimize and upgrade them, so it is easier to make products.

@前往前往: When I first started working on Amazon for about half a year, I also selected products that were not unsalable, but my operational level was rubbish. When I was doing FBA, I was often out of stock because I didn’t know when to restock, which resulted in the link being half-dead. When I was doing FBM, the image was infringed. At that time, the link had a monthly sales of 50+ during the new product period, with a monthly sales of 5,000 to 6,000 US dollars. It was deleted once. I could have made some profit by pushing it hard later, but it was a pity. I did so well in the beginning. . There was another FBM link that ranked first in the new product rankings within 3 months of the new product period. After the new product period, it had a monthly sales of 100+ and a monthly sales of about 9,000 US dollars. I wanted to increase the number of orders at the time, but I didn’t know how to adjust the advertisements and randomly optimized the listings and advertisements. As a result, the orders became fewer and fewer...

Brother, it is already very good to be able to earn 10,000 yuan steadily. You should know that many workers who work like slaves do not make 10,000 yuan. Working alone is free and has no time limit. You are better than many people. Can you bear the pressure of those people who earn millions of yuan a year that you envy? Be content with what you have and don't worry.
