1. It is really hard to answer this question. I can only say that some industries may not be red oceans anymore, but already bloody oceans.

For example, textiles and wigs. They are not easy to do.

Those with precise positioning may be a little easier to do.

In fact, in the final analysis, there is no industry that cannot be done. It depends on whether you have the heart. A packaging bag can also make tens of millions.

2. As for platforms, Amazon, eBay, Alibaba (International Station and AliExpress). Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and can do it. But Alibaba in China is definitely the best among the above. Amazon is about to do it, and I hope the effect is good. I have never touched eBay.

Recently, I saw an article shared by others, and I think there is a sentence worth thinking about. It roughly means that the international station represented by Alibaba has changed some rules of foreign trade or is making this industry "worse". The reason is that since the reform and opening up, the older generation of foreign trade people have good negotiation skills, personal ability, and emotional intelligence are very important. But Alibaba has changed this situation. Now many foreign trade people are doing product inquiries every day, and their quality in some aspects is not as good as that of the older generation of foreign trade people (only in some aspects.)

The previous paragraph is off topic. The platform depends on the investment. Alibaba's annual fee is nearly 30,000 yuan, not counting P4P. P4P is a big money-burner. 100 yuan a day is 3,000+ a month.

The cost of opening a platform on Amazon is still lower in the early stage, but the Amazon platform itself is very risky. There are endless stories of accounts and funds being blocked if there is a disagreement. I have never seen or done eBay, so it is hard to say.

3. As for countries, each country and region has its own characteristics.

Most Indians are stubborn, and most of them have an intoxicating English accent.

The United States and Europe have a lot of ideas about product quality, and there are various certificates. In the past, it was not easy to do mechanical and electronic business in the United States and Europe, but with the rise of China's manufacturing, the situation has improved greatly.

Brazil, a large country in South America, has always had difficulty in customs clearance.

Africans also pay attention to prices, but the polarization is indeed very serious, especially in Nigeria and other places. Not all of them are scammers, but many are indeed scammers. In addition, Africa is rich in mineral resources. Recently, many Chinese have made fortunes there. Large machinery and social infrastructure construction are still very promising.

Another summary

So first look at the product, look at the product positioning, decide the target country, and then decide the platform based on the investment.

As product homogeneity becomes more and more serious, the role of people in foreign trade will be relatively prominent. If you provide good services, small and beautiful may not have no future.
