谷歌跨境电商加速中心能否助力国内卖家抓住独立站机遇？
近年来，跨境电商发展势头强劲，与此同时，亚马逊的"封店潮"也促使众多国内跨境卖家开始布局独立站。得益于社交媒体庞大的用户基础和社交互动特性，独立站背后的卖家选择Facebook作为商品销售和推广的重要基地。
In recent years, cross-border e-commerce has shown strong growth momentum. At the same time, Amazon's "store closure wave" has prompted many domestic cross-border sellers to start building independent websites. Benefiting from the vast user base and social interaction features of social media, sellers behind independent websites have chosen Facebook as an important platform for product sales and promotion.
日前，作为谷歌跨境电商加速计划的重要一环，其首个跨境电商加速中心在厦门自贸片区海上世界正式启用。谷歌方面表示，该加速中心将聚焦解决独立站卖家起步难、人才招聘难、出海运营难等痛点。
Recently, as an important part of Google's cross-border e-commerce acceleration program, its first cross-border e-commerce acceleration center was officially launched in Xiamen Free Trade Zone. Google stated that the acceleration center will focus on solving pain points such as difficulties in starting independent websites, talent recruitment challenges, and overseas operation obstacles.
然而，跨境电商独立站的风口已经过去，现在入场已经太晚了。事实上，跨境电商独立建站已经存在了很长时间，但真正的风口是在2021年夏季出现，并在2022年达到鼎盛。
However, the golden opportunity for cross-border e-commerce independent websites has passed, and it's too late to enter now. In fact, independent cross-border e-commerce websites have existed for a long time, but the real boom appeared in the summer of 2021 and reached its peak in 2022.
独立站与平台电商的区别
Differences Between Independent Websites and Platform E-commerce
亚马逊就像一个大型超市，各种商品都陈列在货架上。独立站则类似于街边的自营商店，只要产品好、服务好、环境好，消费者通常会记住这家店。
Amazon is like a large supermarket with various products displayed on shelves. Independent websites are more like street-side self-operated stores - as long as the products, service, and environment are good, consumers will usually remember the store.
当前独立站面临的挑战
Challenges Facing Independent Websites
导致独立站衰落的首要原因是流量成本上升。由于两年前的这一轮跨境电商热潮吸引了太多参与者入局，导致社媒流量和搜索流量价格纷纷上涨。
The primary reason for the decline of independent websites is the rising cost of traffic. The cross-border e-commerce boom two years ago attracted too many participants, leading to increased prices for social media and search traffic.
另一方面，国内跨境电商"四小龙"（Temu、SHEIN、AliExpress和TikTok Shop）带来了全托管模式，平台负责核价、运营、物流、售后等环节，卖家只需负责供货。
On the other hand, China's "four dragons" of cross-border e-commerce (Temu, SHEIN, AliExpress and TikTok Shop) have introduced a fully managed model where the platform handles pricing, operations, logistics, after-sales, etc., while sellers only need to supply products.
谷歌加速中心的未来展望
Future Prospects of Google's Acceleration Center
谷歌的跨境电商加速中心面临的最大挑战不仅是提供更廉价的流量，还需要找出与Temu的差异化优势。否则，这个跨境电商加速中心可能会面临巧妇难为无米之炊的困境。
The biggest challenge facing Google's cross-border e-commerce acceleration center is not only to provide cheaper traffic but also to identify differentiated advantages compared to Temu. Otherwise, this acceleration center may face the dilemma of "you can't make bricks without straw."
