If you're looking for a reliable way to buy cat food in Germany, Amazon Germany's own stock (Amazon DE self-operated) is your safest bet. For example, my cat eats Kitekat, but it's often out of stock. You can try alternatives like Purina, though it's expensive and frequently unavailable. After the GO toxic cat food scandal, finding a trustworthy channel is nearly impossible.
For cat litter, I've been using Cat's Best Nature Gold clumping litter. It's hassle-free, absorbs well without breaking apart, and can be flushed down the toilet. You can go three days without cleaning.
A user on a forum shared this post about high rebates on cat products, which raises red flags about quality.
This so-called 'new project' is actually an old one. A blogger friend who runs a food coupon WeChat account with 100k+ followers started promoting 'cat carts' (猫车). These are groups that share coupons for pet supplies, but it's essentially the same CPS model (Taobao affiliate marketing), just narrowed down to pets. It blew up because former food coupon operators pivoted to this.I thought, since my Weibo is all about pets, this would be perfect. I tried it two years ago, built 4-5 groups (5000 people each initially, later reduced to 3000, then 1000). But manually selecting and posting deals was exhausting, so I gave up.I asked him for basics and started again around August 30. At that time, only about 10 WeChat accounts were related to cat carts—very blue ocean. Now there are 40-50, but still far less saturated than food coupons.I started from zero and by September 3 had three groups: two with ~330 members, one with 70+. Ad agents kept offering to promote on Weibo/Douyin/WeChat Moments, but the cost per follower (from ad to group join) is 12-15 RMB. I can't justify that when I have free, targeted traffic. Big players spend 30k/day, 800k/month—they have teams. I can't compete.
Right now, it's all about grabbing traffic. Whoever has the most targeted traffic will make passive income later. But the cost is too high for me.Comparison: Paid ads bring large but less targeted traffic at high cost; my method is small, free, and targeted, but won't make big money.I'm also building on Zhihu, Toutiao, Douyin with original content and videos. Slow and steady wins the race.After one month, my Taobao earnings are modest (see screenshot), and JD only 400+ RMB. But with only 700+ followers, it's okay. Cat product commissions are 10-30%, much higher than food coupons (max 6%). Most cat cart operators came from food coupons, so they know the tricks. The field is still relatively blue ocean compared to oversaturated food coupons.Thanks for reading. Here's the core idea:This is more of a strategy than a project.Steps:
