Can one person start Amazon? What are the conditions?

When people choose to do cross-border e-commerce on Amazon, they usually refer to the advantages and disadvantages of the platform. However, few people open stores on the Amazon platform individually. Can one person run Amazon?

Can Amazon do it alone?

One person can do Amazon

I was working alone at the beginning, and it was possible to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.

If you want to do Amazon alone, you need to meet the following three aspects:

1. Is there enough time?

To be honest, for ordinary people, it is too risky to work on Amazon full-time before you are sure.

It is recommended that novices start with a side job on Amazon. If you can spare 3 hours a day, you can give it a try.

2. Is there enough cash flow?

Amazon is a serious business, and making money out of nothing is clearly a thing of the past.

Note: Investment is risky, please be cautious when entering the industry

The specific amount of funds required depends on your expectations and how much money you want to earn in a month.

If you want to earn 100,000 yuan a month, you need to prepare at least 500,000 yuan.

If you only need to earn one or two thousand yuan in the beginning, then you should prepare at least 20,000 yuan in the beginning, which will be enough to cope with basic turnover.

After a user places an order, the money will not be transferred to your account immediately. Amazon's payment cycle is 14 days. During these 14 days, the seller needs to advance the purchase, logistics and other costs.

When you first start selling on Amazon, it is recommended that you start with FBM. This way you don’t need to stock up on inventory, which can reduce risks.

But the order quantity will be relatively small. In the early stage, we will mainly accumulate experience through small steps of trial and error. After we have a certain amount of experience, we can do FBA in small batches.

3. Do you have enough knowledge about Amazon operations?

The scope of operation is quite broad, and it is difficult to explain it in a few words. We need to study it systematically.

Simply put, there are two core issues: "What products to sell" and "How to sell them"

It is difficult to run Amazon alone. If you want to do it, you need to spend a lot of time and energy. It is very difficult to operate a cross-border e-commerce by yourself, but you can use some tools.
