Are those cross-border e-commerce training institutions really as good as they are said to be?

I have actually answered this question before, because I am also in the industry.

I will just share a few of my personal opinions:

About the training institution:

1. Any training institution has the primary purpose of making money, which is understandable. Most people start a company to make money;

2. Only a small number of students trained by training institutions can actually make money;

3. Training institutions are often the best choice for people who want to change careers. They can save you a lot of time and help you solve problems quickly.

The value of training institutions:

1. Based on your own situation, we will tell you which platform is suitable for you, what kind of business model is suitable for you, and tell you the growth path of learning and what content you should learn;

2. Help you solve problems in time when you encounter them;

3. Provide necessary relevant resources during the process;

4. Provide good personal connections.

Simply put, what cross-border training should do is to bridge the gap from novices to industry veterans, that is, to cultivate cross-border e-commerce players who can truly survive in the market and even have a certain degree of competitiveness.

If all of the above can be achieved, it will be a matter of both parties being willing to fight and be beaten.

Current status of the institution:

In reality, most institutions cannot do the above points, and instead use all kinds of false propaganda to deceive you into studying.

This is the main reason why training institutions have a bad reputation.

For example, they would say that they can basically learn something in three to five days; for example, they would say that they can earn 50,000 or 100,000 yuan a month after learning it; for example, they would say that no matter what your conditions are, you can learn it easily; for example, they would say that they have managed stores with sales of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions... and so on. They dare to say anything.

This has led to many people being "fooled".

About myself.

Why are so many people fooled? Why do so many people study with extremely high expectations and then achieve nothing? Why do so many people still pay money without hesitation despite the propaganda that is obviously not in line with common sense?

But from a practical point of view, what they advertise is: you can easily earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, seize the dividends of the times, catch the trend of cross-border e-commerce, your store can easily receive a lot of orders, and then you can reach the peak of your life.

Aren’t these contents meant to cater to the pain points of people who want to enter the industry?

Want to earn more, work less, believe in the halo of awesome people, follow the trend, etc.

These human weaknesses and needs should have been problems that training institutions should have solved in order to help trainees grow, but now they have become tools for harvesting.

So for those who want to do cross-border e-commerce, I have a few small suggestions:

1. First, fully understand what cross-border e-commerce is, its general operating model, and how much capital is needed, and then make a choice based on your own situation;

2. Don't believe in the so-called hot spots, and don't rush into this industry. In other words, don't have the so-called speculative thinking. Today's society is impetuous, and everyone doesn't want to work hard, and everyone wants to take shortcuts. How can such a good thing happen? As for bonuses and hot spots, only those who have been working steadily in this industry for several years can be sensitive to and seize them. When everyone tells you that this is a hot spot, it is no longer a hot spot.

3. Of course, don’t be too entangled. I saw a friend who wanted to do cross-border e-commerce, but didn’t dare to do it because he was afraid that it would not work out. In the end, he hesitated for half a year and still didn’t enter the market. This is unnecessary. If you are really sure, then: you have so many fantasies, why not take real action?
