For those who want to start a business on Taobao, the cost can be said to be very small. Now if you choose to open a personal Taobao store, you only need to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and then use your ID card and bank card for authentication.

Moreover, this 1,000 yuan is only paid as a deposit. When the store is not opened, the deposit money will be returned to Alipay. Although the cost of registering a Taobao store is very low, if you really run a store well, you still need to invest some money. First of all, after the Taobao store is opened, you need to keep some money for operation and purchase.

However, for some novice sellers, you can use the mode of dropshipping in the early stage to familiarize yourself with some of the store's operating procedures, and then purchase goods by yourself after you have rich experience. In addition, we need to know the principle of making money on the Taobao platform. The Taobao platform itself is not a platform for selling goods, but a platform that helps sellers sell goods. Therefore, if Taobao wants to make money, it must make money from sellers.

In this way, if you only register a Taobao store for free and operate it, Taobao will definitely not give you a lot of traffic, because you can't let Taobao make money from you. Therefore, we should prepare at least 3,000 to 4,000 yuan to open a Taobao online store on Taobao. Although many people say that only more than 1,000 yuan is needed, this is just the deposit for registering a store. If you really want to run a store well, you must prepare about 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.
