First, this is the best of times and the worst of times. There are popular items in any era. The key is whether you can dig them out. If you dig it out, you'll have a little gold mine in your hands. In other words, if you are capable enough and have enough resources, you can do well even in Africa. If you don't understand anything, even if you encounter good times, you can only watch others make money.

Second, the current global epidemic situation is not optimistic, which is an unintentional fatal blow to cross-border e-commerce. A friend of mine sent a package to Europe and the United States. He had to wait three weeks for it to be sent out, and another two weeks for it to be delivered to the customer. In total, more than a month had passed. Do you think customers will be happy? It is likely to be returned or given a negative review.

Third, if you really want to do cross-border e-commerce, you might as well take advantage of this time to enrich yourself, learn cross-border e-commerce knowledge, understand the habits of overseas buyers, and register overseas trademarks. Remember, you must remember to register an overseas trademark, especially those who want to be an Amazon. Without a trademark, you will be complained every minute and your account will be frozen. As for overseas trademarks, you can learn about the Madrid trademark international registration method, or find an agent. The sooner the better. Now and in the future, intellectual property rights are core elements and must be taken seriously.

Fourth, product selection is very important. The following three product selection directions are recommended: 1. What is popular on major e-commerce platforms recently? Pay more attention to major platforms such as Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress; 2. Which products have lower costs, higher profits, and guaranteed quality? You can go to factories in Dongguan, Zhongshan, Yiwu and other concentrated areas to understand the situation; 3. Predict the hot items. For example, due to the epidemic, masks, disinfectants, protective clothing, etc. are the hot items among the hot items.

Fifth, persist and persist. There is no quick fix in any industry. You have to persist in a certain field for at least three years before you can achieve any results. If you plan to do this for a year and a half, I suggest you give up the idea of ??engaging in cross-border e-commerce now.
