I have five years of experience in Amazon FBM and two years of experience in FBA. I make a few hundred thousand a year, which is embarrassing for all the big guys and peers in the cross-border industry! I have always wanted to share with you what kind of people are suitable for Amazon. Because I think it is crucial. Many people ask what is good to do on Amazon and how to do it. This is actually a low-quality topic. For anything, you have to invest in it before you know whether it is suitable and whether you can make money. So I still took the time to tell you what kind of people are doing Amazon now. In 2016-2017, no one knew what keywords and titles were. Just move domestic pictures to Amazon and you can get orders, and the sales are very good! So it was recognized as a bonus era. As long as you have manpower and a store, you can make money. 2018 is the era of distribution. All categories and products on Amazon are blue oceans. Titles directly translated from Chinese can make a lot of orders! But starting in 2019, the Amazon platform began to eliminate people. If you don’t know how to distribute, your English foundation is not good, and you don’t have sales ideas, then your company or individual will face being eliminated by Amazon. In 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic and the rise of foreign Internet shopping, Amazon has been hyped up by various training companies and institutions. Why? In fact, the blue ocean era has passed. The big names on the Internet are just trying to make money from Amazon. Amazon already had an entry barrier as early as 2019. In the past five years, I have witnessed many people coming and leaving, and also met many types of people. 1. People who are thoughtful and sensitive to things
This type of people is absolutely suitable for working on Amazon, and I would recommend them as the most suitable. Why? According to my observations over the past few years, the big names in the company are all people with delicate hearts. This can be seen in daily life. They observe things very carefully, often discover details that others cannot see, and are very considerate of others. They know what things and words will affect others, and they will take care of other people's feelings. This is the performance of sensitive people. On Amazon, they have a relatively thorough understanding of the purchasing behavior and market observations behind buyers than ordinary people. They have a good control over many details that affect purchases, and it is easy for them to figure out the rules of Amazon. Therefore, meticulousness is the most important quality of Amazon sellers. If you are such a person, then I suggest you work on Amazon! 2. Have a foreign language foundation
In the past few years, it was OK without any foreign language skills. But in the past two years, it is no longer the case. Those with good foreign language skills will stand out more and are more likely to create hits. Of course, this is not inevitable, and there are many masters who cannot speak foreign languages. 3. People over 30 years old with social experience
In the past few years, I have visited many companies for communication and found that many of the people with good performance are around 30 years old, including my own company. Later, I wondered, why? What characteristics do they have? One day, I suddenly figured it out. They have social experience and understand human nature better. Selling goods abroad and domestically is actually the same, except for the language difference. Excluding language and cross-border transportation, the human nature behind is actually the same. This group of people can better understand the buyer's heart. The above three types of people are derived from my experience and knowledge over the past few years, because the experts in my company are all meticulous people; and I have recruited many young employees, and those who do well are basically good at English, except for a few people who have ideas and thoughts. Those who are over 30 years old are basically better at research than young people. It may just be a probabilistic event, but it is generally correct. There is another group of people who are also suitable to enter the market. They have friends or relatives who are doing it, and they know clearly that their friends have made money, and this friend or relative can sincerely guide them. If this relationship exists, then the three groups of people I mentioned can be excluded. Because others have ways to make money that can be shared, and if you follow that path, you can make money easily. But in reality, most people are actually groping on their own. The three groups I have summarized are not wrong. If you are a careless person, I suggest you consider other industries directly! You can't sit in front of the computer to study products and markets. Sharing from the industry's conscience, an experienced seller with 5 years of experience, you can't be wrong.
