How is Alibaba International's foreign trade? Is it reliable?

Tell me about my experience along the way.

After five years of working as a freight forwarder for five years, I applied for a start-up company to be a foreign trade salesman. It happened that the company signed a new Ali platform. It happened that I knew art, so I was assigned to do it.

At that time, the Alibaba platform was relatively friendly. You can buy a basic package, product map, optimize the content, get keywords through some plug-ins, and some products can still be arranged on the home page. RFQ is a magic tool with high single rate. What's more, in the foreign trade circle (the forum of Alibaba international station), some people will open a set meal and sell their sub accounts. They can go and grab the quotation with others. I remember it's 200 yuan a piece. Later, the official acquiesced in this practice, and made a supplementary RFQ package. The deterioration is that in 16 years, Ali international station will modify the rules of the platform every few months, and then organize personnel to focus on training, so that you can embrace changes. The price threshold of RFQ has dropped sharply, and you can quote as long as you pay.

In the early days, the big factories and traders who had tasted the sweetness from Ali had already noticed something wrong, and they would have been led by Ali and sought new ways one after another. I changed a company here. The new company is an integration of industry and trade. The owner's assets are about 100 million yuan. The Ministry of foreign trade is newly established. I am lucky to also participate in the platform construction. Mainstream B2B platforms have been touched all over. In a comprehensive evaluation, MIC's inquiries are few and their quality is high. Alibaba's inquiries are more competitive. Globegroup is better than none.

When it comes to Google Advertising, there was no concept at that time. The local advertising agency was just fooling you to recharge, asking you a lot of innocuous questions to improve, and then the money went to waste. After years of exploration, I think Google Advertising is a more systematic project. First of all, the budget is sufficient, there is a certain understanding of SEO site building, as far as possible to build their own independent station rather than choose a quick template station, there is a long-term training of pitchers, these links can help to become your Google Advertising ROI high factors.

Now just relying on the Alibaba platform, in addition to burning money P4P, looking for someone to borrow foreign credit cards to swipe bills, I don't think there is a way to break the situation.
