1. Methods of doing cross-border e-commerce

1. Cross-border trading is mainly a combination of theory and practice. This process is a process of trial and error. In this process, you will encounter many mistakes and then continue to practice. Many people may lose patience in this process.

2. How many steps are there to do cross-border e-commerce?

If you want to do cross-border e-commerce, let's talk about the steps to do it. (Taking Amazon platform as an example)

1. Preparation before opening a store

2. Prepare relevant documents (license, dual currency card, ID card, mobile phone number, email address)

3. After preparing the relevant information, the store opening process is relatively simple. Basically, you just need to submit the materials and accept the review. After passing it, you can open the store.

4. Product selection is a relatively important part of cross-border transactions.

5. Market. Before opening a store, you need to understand the market. You can try to search for products that you are familiar with or interested in to see if these products are needed. It can be said that the North American market now has a large number of small categories of products that are not saturated.

How to determine whether the market is saturated?

Mainly look at the first score in the classified market. For example, if the score is only 3.5 points, it means that customers do not have more choices when purchasing this product, so even if it has a low score, it can still get the first place in the sub-category. For another example, the product score of the sub-category market should reach more than 4 points, but there are few styles to choose from. At this time, there are more similar styles in China, so you can start from this entry point.

6. Operations should be based on products and market-oriented. If you want to promote new products, you need to make detailed plans. Mainly from the price, page design, promotion rhythm, etc. If the product capacity is large, the competition is fierce, and the star rating is good, the profit will be good.

Starting to engage in cross-border e-commerce is first of all a process of combining theory and practical results, so you need to be mentally prepared. Secondly, you need to be patient and have the cost of trial and error. After all, not everyone can succeed from the beginning, so this process also requires everyone to persist. It is not easy for novices to achieve results in too short a time, so don't give up at this time.
