Is it easy to operate the Amazon no-source model? How much investment is required?

Everyone should have a certain understanding of the no-source model, which is a model that does not require you to stock up and ship goods yourself. This model is not only very popular in the domestic e-commerce industry, but also in the cross-border e-commerce industry. I wonder if Amazon's no-source model is easy to implement?

1. Is the no-source model easy to implement?

Easy to do

Amazon's no-source model has a relatively low threshold. Merchants do not need to spend money to stock up goods, nor do they need to find logistics companies to cooperate with. They only need to be responsible for promotion, which is very easy to do. This model is very suitable for Amazon novices, because this model has less risk and requires less work. As long as we sell more orders, we can make a profit from the price difference.

Whether or not you can make money depends on the merchants themselves. Simply put, the no-source model is to collect goods from major e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, Taobao Alliance, JD.com, and express delivery through the ERP management system, and then upload them to Amazon stores for sale through ERP product optimization and modification functions, earning the difference between cross-border and exchange rates.

This Amazon no-source model has brought new hope to many cross-border e-commerce companies. This model has also begun to become popular, but many merchants do not know much about this model. They have only seen some one-sided introductions on the Internet and have a general understanding of this model.

In fact, we can just take a look at things on the Internet and cannot believe them completely. Just like sometimes we will see negative articles, which may make you feel worried and doubtful about this model. Sometimes there are also some exaggerated articles, such as easily making tens of thousands of yuan a month. There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky. It is just a fantasy. If you don’t run the store carefully, you will not get good returns even in the long run.

2. How much money does the no-source model require to invest?

The cost is not much, basically it is the cost of the ERP system and the cost of order advance payment.

Since we are going to adopt the Amazon no-source model, an ERP system is definitely needed. Generally speaking, the cost ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan. You can choose according to your own situation. If you advance payment for orders, the payment cycle will take about 45 days. This cost depends on our order volume.

Amazon's no-source model is certainly easy to do. It can greatly reduce our inventory costs and risks, and we don't need to worry about logistics and delivery. It can be said to be very easy to do. However, this model also has certain limitations and is only suitable for novices.
