How to do cross-border e-commerce without English? Cross-border e-commerce operation skills

Cross-border e-commerce mainly serves foreign customers, so many merchants think that they must know English before entering the cross-border e-commerce, otherwise they will definitely not be able to do business. In fact, this is not the case. You can do cross-border e-commerce without knowing English. Now we will share with you some cross-border e-commerce operation skills!

1. Choose the right platform

To do cross-border e-commerce, you need to have an online platform for customers to select products, place orders and pay. You can choose an e-commerce platform like Amazon, or you can build your own independent website. However, due to the fierce competition among major e-commerce platforms, high promotion fees, commission deductions, and complicated rules, it is difficult for newcomers to stand out. Therefore, it is recommended that you build your own independent website. Not only is the cost relatively low, but you can also control the products yourself, and it is easy to get started.

2. Product selection

After deciding on an e-commerce platform, the next step is to confirm what products you want to sell. There are some differences in the best-selling products on each platform, so you can use some tools to choose, such as: eBay has Terapeak, Algopix, etc., Amazon has Seller Wizard, Wish has Seahawk Data, etc. They all support Chinese, so you don’t have to worry about not understanding them.

3. Develop an operations plan

First, we need to analyze the comprehensive situation of funds, resources, team size, team capabilities, store factors, etc., to determine whether we can operate the store well. Analyze the overall market trends, find out the competitiveness of the product, and determine the risk of ourselves in the competition.

Then we formulate annual, quarterly, monthly and weekly sales plan targets. Finally, we split the sales channel targets according to the planned sales targets, so that we can complete our planning.

4. Determine the logistics delivery method

In fact, the most important thing for cross-border e-commerce is to set up the logistics issues. After all, it is not different from the domestic delivery mode. For cross-border transportation, most people think of air transportation, but hiring an airline is a huge expense. It is necessary to ensure that goods worth a few dollars can be sold for hundreds of yuan on the Amazon platform to avoid losses. But which foreigners are willing to spend a lot of money to buy these things? They see themselves working diligently and conscientiously every day, but in the end all the settlement money goes to the logistics department.

You can still do cross-border e-commerce even if you don't know English. When operating, we can use some translation software. In fact, to do a good job in cross-border e-commerce, it has little to do with whether you can speak English or not. The key is to be able to operate!
