I am Chinese, and recently I lost my job. Right now I feel somewhat confused about what I should do next.

In the past, I worked with affiliate marketing using the EMU method and made some money from it, but I stopped doing that a long time ago. Later, I started working with TikTok Shop in the US market. I opened several stores and tried to sell Chinese products overseas. In the beginning, there were actually quite a lot of orders.

However, due to changes in TikTok’s policies, high logistics costs, and the fact that I didn’t have a warehouse overseas to store inventory, things became very difficult. For these reasons, all of those stores have now been closed.

After that, I tried to transform the business model and became an agent for a US health supplement brand. Unfortunately, the results were not very good, and that project has also been shut down.

I also taught myself how to build websites and forums. It was mostly a hobby, but that was quite a long time ago.

Now I suddenly feel like I don’t know what I should do next. I have to say that the economic situation in China is not very good right now.

I know that there are still many opportunities abroad. However, at the moment I don’t have any clear ideas. If anyone has good suggestions or ideas, I would really appreciate hearing them. Any advice is welcome.

Also, I don’t speak English. As mentioned above, most of my communication is done through Edge’s translation tool, and this post was also translated with GPT. There may be some awkward wording, so please forgive me.

Maybe instead of starting something completely new, try building on one of the things you already know. Sometimes adjusting the model works better than restarting from zero.
 
China's economy is currently stagnant and oversaturated. Having studied in China, I understand this principle well.
 
I am in Europe, there are many opportunities here and you can use your skills to explore here.
 
honestly i'd go back to affiliate before touching tiktok shop again, the policy changes you mentioned are only gonna get messier and you already know the EMU method works for you, thats a real edge most people don't have.
 
There is a pattern
Go back to the tiktok shops and make it work
Because,it's possible to make it work
 
Get digital items of high demand eg google accounts at wholesale price then resell
This is faster than anything requiring you weeks / months to learn new skills / build youtube channels / blogs
 
First, learn English, is the best personal investment you can do. Chinese is great, but you also need English. Then try to go from general to specific. Basically find a specific field and specialize in it. If you actually become expert in something, you'll find those opportunities.
 
You can buy and sell CS GO skins .. You can search in reddit on how to earn with csgo item trading if you are from china.
 
I am also Chinese. I personally recommend that you run your TIKTOK store well. In addition, you can read the content of "sheng cai you shu". Of course, their main purpose is to make profits by teaching others to make money.

China has many peptide suppliers, why don't you do dropshipping of them? There's high demand in Western countries, the Middle East, and South America. Promoting and building an affiliate network isn't complicated; it's a multi-million dollar business

You mean health products? Or beauty products? These don't sound like they meet some of the product specifications in the target country
