Is it easy to work at Amazon? During the day, Amazon is for work, and at night, Meituan is for survival.


I think the phenomenon of a large number of newcomers entering Amazon is a predictable and inevitable phenomenon. Because of the epidemic, the cross-border e-commerce boom has spread widely in society. There are all kinds of reports about Amazon, such as "you can easily earn more than 10,000 yuan a month without the need for a source of goods", "drop shipping", "the ceiling of a mother's side job", "a young man born in the 1990s who worked on Amazon bought a house and a car in Shenzhen in one year", and all kinds of eye-catching headlines. How can a newbie who has never been to Amazon but wants to make money resist? (Huh, what can you resist~)

But I want to say here, don’t be naive to think that Amazon is really that easy to do. And don’t think of buying a series of courses to understand this industry. Instead, you should do your homework and make sure you have a certain learning need before learning it. Use the best steel where it is needed. Of course, if you have more money, you can buy more. . .

Although the threshold for Amazon is not that high, it is not as easy as some self-media boasts. At least you need to be good at art design, copywriting, and operation planning to create a new product. (It is not a big problem for novices to do things outside the site.) But how can you, a novice, compare with those cross-border predecessors? This is a big question mark.

So Big! Let’s not talk about the operation skills for now. Just saying that it is extremely difficult to make a drop shipping model without a source of goods at this stage. Others are sending FBA, but you have to look at the delivery speed of the previous seller when sending FBM. How can you beat others like this? In addition to shipping, if you want to place orders without a source of goods, the premise must be that your product is a standard product that cannot be more ordinary (and you are not afraid of infringement fines~). I wonder if there is any big guy who can make a fortune purely by this kind of product at this stage? I am willing to pay to be his apprentice!

Moreover, many companies that have been immersed in Amazon for many years are now deepening their supply chains. Do you think it is possible for a newbie to enter the market and shake their position with standard products? I think it is not only impossible, but even difficult to get a share of the pie. So I hope that before entering the market, everyone can think carefully about their own competitiveness, supply chain resources, operation skills, promotion and liquidity reserve funds, etc., and don’t just look at the so-called success stories on Douyin~

Tips for handling warehouse division

(1) Calculate the cost difference between separate warehouses and combined warehouses

First of all, you need to know the volume, weight and number of your items. For example, if your products are divided into 3 warehouses and there are a lot of goods, many of the first leg of FBA, including express delivery, starts at 21KG. If your goods can still reach this starting point after being divided into warehouses, then it is more cost-effective to divide warehouses. If you have a lot of items and they are divided into warehouses again, it is also very expensive if the combined warehouse fee is calculated at 0.3 US dollars per piece. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to choose to divide warehouses in this case. If you have a small number of items, it may be cheaper to choose to combine warehouses. This depends on your actual situation. Calculate the cost roughly. If the cost is similar, combine warehouses are preferred. To be continued...

Merging zombie listings [principle and harm]:

How to solve the problem of restricted review listings
Regarding the listings that everyone has reported recently that have restricted review permissions, you can update them to new listings without moving them to another location and enable review permissions.
1. Change EAN on the original ASIN edit page, or directly change the target ASIN value.
If the change fails, you can delete the listing and re-list the original SKU + new UPC
