It is very difficult to do business in Alibaba now

Because the mainstream trend of Alibaba now is P4P, you can't rely on natural traffic to get a lot of inquiries like before. Now you need users to continue to spend money to get traffic and inquiries, and you must understand operations to get results. You can't do it well without paying money (you need to recruit professional operations talents).

After all, for most B2B platforms, traffic is king. Without traffic, there will be no inquiries.

If you just spend money to open a basic account of tens of thousands of yuan or even rent a sub-account, and want to avoid burning P4P, or burn less money, and try the water, you are basically filling the bottom for others, which is equivalent to throwing money for fun, which doesn't make much sense

Easy to do

1. Because Alibaba is the world's largest online trading platform, it has a huge customer base and channels, and it is easier to find buyers or sellers, establish trust relationships and brand image with customers, and increase sales.

2. Alibaba currently provides a variety of services and tools, including business intelligence, distribution factories, and consignment sales, which enable people to carry out a variety of business methods, and can respond and adjust to the market more quickly, thereby improving market competitiveness.

3. Despite the fierce competition, Alibaba provides opportunities for a wide range of people, greatly reducing the entry threshold, and can easily enter the e-commerce circle, create business value, and increase the success rate of entrepreneurship.

Alibaba is not very easy to do now. Now the major online sales platforms are targeting Taobao and Alipay, with various pressures and sales policies. As a result, the sales of all Alibaba's online products are not as objective as before. I hope the answer can help you.

It's not easy to do. First, the traffic has seriously declined, other platforms are grabbing traffic, and peers are engaged in price wars. In addition, the serious impact of the epidemic has led to a sluggish economy and a decline in purchasing power. Second, the degree of burning money for traffic promotion has always been serious, and the platform policies and rules are becoming more and more complicated. Third, the price of raw materials has risen, costs have been rising, and profit margins have been further compressed.

In short, the bonus period of e-commerce has passed. Now what matters is strength. Those who are not good have long been eliminated. It is no longer the era when you can make money with just a computer. Coupled with the rise of short videos, there is a trend of replacing it.

This depends on the individual. The operation now will definitely be more difficult than before, but if everyone masters the operating rules, in fact, it can still be done. It is indeed not easy to do it well and expand it.
