Auto-Delivery Setup

Use auto-delivery tools (like Aqisuo) in Taobao's service market:

Buyer orders → Payment confirmed → Auto-send download link → Auto-confirm receipt
You do nothing!

Monthly fee: ~$2-5. Completely worth it.

⚠️ What NOT to Sell

Category	Why
Pirated books/courses	Copyright infringement → account banned
Cracked software	Illegal → immediate ban
Famous IP assets	Disney/Nintendo = high risk
Others' courses re-recorded	Copyright violation
Adult/edgy content	Zero tolerance

Rule: Only sell what YOU created or have commercial rights for.

Revenue Math

Single product: Resume template, $5/piece
Daily sales: 30 orders
Monthly revenue: 30 × $5 × 30 = $4,500
Costs: Auto-delivery $3/month + platform fee 5%
Monthly profit: ~$4,200

With 3-5 products like this in one store, $7,500+/month is very realistic.
