I've been looking for a low-risk side job for a long time and have tried many traps. It wasn't until I discovered the 1688 cross-border model without inventory that I achieved stable profits in just three months from scratch. Today, I've sorted out all the essential tips for the process, so even beginners can copy them directly!

First, understand: Why is 1688 cross-border business so popular without stockpiling?

Zero inventory pressure

There is no need to prepare the goods yourself. After the customer places an order, they can directly ask the 1688 supplier to ship on their behalf, saving on warehousing and capital turnover costs. Even beginners can get started easily.

The advantage of supply sources is significant

The 1688 on the Chinese mainland offers a wide variety of goods at low prices, which are 30% to 50% cheaper than those in local wholesale markets in Taiwan. There is sufficient profit margin for cross-border sales.

Strong cross-border demand

There is a high demand for high-quality products from the Chinese mainland in regions such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Especially for categories like home goods, beauty tools, and digital accessories, there is no need to worry about having no sales channels.

Time freedom

Practical steps from 0 to 1: Even beginners can quickly get started

Step 1: Determine the target market + Select products (the core of making money)

Product selection tips

Check the best-selling list on 1688 and give priority to lightweight and non-breakable products (such as beauty eggs, storage boxes, and phone cases) to reduce logistics costs and the risk of damage.

② Avoid heavy and sensitive goods (such as liquids and batteries) to reduce customs clearance troubles;

③ Pay attention to local festivals and demands, such as festival decorations from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and summer coolies from Southeast Asia.

Recommended product selection directions: home storage, beauty tools, digital accessories, and small items for mothers and babies.

Step 2: Select suppliers on 1688 and discuss cooperation

When choosing a supplier, focus on three key points:

① Trustpass years ≥ Three years, positive review rate ≥ 98%

② Supports drop shipping and can provide clear product images and parameters;

③ Fast response speed and reliable after-sales service (such as compensation for damage)

Step 3: Build sales channels and list products

Beginners are recommended to start with simple channels:

① Xiaohongshu/Instagram: Share product reviews and usage scenarios to attract targeted customers to place orders via private messages.

② Cross-border e-commerce platforms (such as Shopee and Lazada) : After registering a store and listing products, the platform offers natural traffic support.

③ Private domain community: Pull customers into wechat groups and regularly share new products and promotional activities.

Listing tips: The product title should include core keywords (such as 1688 Beauty Egg Cross-border free shipping on the Chinese mainland). Use watermark-free images provided by the supplier and pair them with your own real-life usage scene pictures. The detail page should clearly state the product parameters, size, material, shipping time and logistics method.

Step 4: Logistics Delivery + Customer Service (The Key to retaining customers

For logistics, choose Taojiyun for its dedicated line from the Chinese mainland to the Taiwan market. It offers fast air freight delivery (within 3-7 working days), transparent pricing, and provides packing and reinforcement services for fragile items to reduce the risk of damage.
