Once you understand how the platform works, it’s so much easier to see where the real opportunities are — and how you can earn from Temu.
Now let’s get into the first way people make money on Temu:
1. Selling on Temu (for Capital-Ready Entrepreneurs)
Not many people know this, but Temu doesn’t just feature Chinese sellers. It also allows region-based sellers — meaning people like you and me (with capital and the right setup) can sell products directly on the platform.
Let’s say you’re based in the UK. You’ll notice some items labeled as “Local Warehouse” — and these are often sold by local-based sellers who have targeted their products to people in their area. The shipping is faster, the product quality is usually better, and the prices are still lower than Amazon. Why? Because they’re not running ads or building a personal brand — they’re simply leveraging Temu’s built-in audience and trust.
Imagine having access to a ready-made marketplace where Temu helps match you with your target audience for free, based on location. No paid ads. No complicated funnels. Just your products — shown to the right people.
Of course, this route requires capital, proper research, and a solid understanding of product sourcing, listing rules, and fulfilment. So I won’t dive too deep here…
2. Reselling Temu Products (My Personal Favourite)
This is one of my favourite ways to make money on Temu — mostly because it’s simple, flexible, and works. It’s also what I do personally, so I can tell you firsthand: this method has real potential.
There are so many affordable and in-demand products on Temu that you can resell for profit on platforms like eBay, Etsy, and even Amazon. The idea is simple:
- Find products with high potential
- Order them at Temu prices
- Resell them at market value
Of course, this method requires a bit of capital and some product research, but it’s not as scary as it sounds. You don’t need to start with hundreds of pounds or dollars — even a small batch of products can be tested and resold. I’ve done it myself, and I also see others doing it successfully.
💡 The best part? Temu offers a 90-day return window on most items — and return shipping is often free. So if something doesn’t sell the way you hoped, or if you’re not happy with the product quality, you’re not stuck. You can send it back and try something else.
It’s a low-risk way to explore reselling, and it teaches you a lot about what people are buying and what products are trending.
