Is that course explaining step by step FBA on Amazon?
interesting content but the comments is full of spammers
Looking for someone to buy me something from China do you do this?
Sure
@@Tukerdum sure ??? You can?
Actually, this video just made me want to stick even more with Alibaba, haha. Thing is, lots of "factories" are actually Trade companies (Usually it's possible to determine that just by theirs address). I started Amazon FBA two years ago and have already crossed $150k per month. I do love your content but why not create a video on how to start with all the techniques that UA-camrs prefer to keep to themselves? I gained this knowledge after reading an eBook. No one is talking about how to outrank competitors, gain additional traffic outside Amazon, or properly implement off-site SEO for additional exposure etc etc. I have no doubt that this kind of video would be super beneficial to your audience.
great to hear about your success! I have started Amazon FBA as well do you mind to explain how to rank to best seller? and can you share the ebook name??
Im assuming you mean how to get the "Best Sellers" badge on your listing? The best sellers badge is specific to each sub-category, you have to be selling the most amount of units on a daily basis within your sub-category to get the Best Sellers badge.
The book you are talking about is Passamzalgo right?
Correct.

I am a manufacturer in China. In fact, the most reliable way to find suppliers is to find the official website of the manufacturer of the product you need. Usually you will find direct contact information and products there.
If u have any share
What do u sell ??

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market
The best course of action is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance.
Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic.
Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with this person

Great video. I did not know there are so many other options. But after watching the entire video, i feel like Alibaba is the best option after all lol based on cons for every other option you mentioned.
Yes, I guess you're Right, but this video helped me in realizing that there are other options out there, just like you mentioned in your post.
🤣🤣🤣🤣I think so
Exactly, I came to that realization at the 5 minute point of the video 😂😂😂😂
The best option is the Canton Fair.

Love This Clip. Thank You For This Video. Learnt So Much
Are these alternatives good for dropshipping on Amazon? (Is everything online? I do not plan to travel anywhere). Thank you.
For anyone considering Alibaba, just know that the 'minimum piece' that they cite may not actually be accurate. I was looking at a supplier who said the minimum order was 1 case. When I inquired, they wouldn't ship anything less than an entire shipping container.

I live in Shanghai and been handling sourcing, supply chain management, QC and shipping for the last 6 years. I have never created deals behind clients backs directly with the factory. I work a bit differently, my clients pay me a retainer, with that they get full transparency with whom the factory is, contacts etc. working that way offers us both the trust and ability to know why we are working together, they pay me, i share info. They essentially have their own consultant as a trusted partner to assist them in handling everything from start to finish. i get paid, they get what they want and more. Good video, informative and spot on. I use multiple sources to find factories if I dont have a product on my database.
May I contact you?
This is also the way our factory is looking for
How can I contact you 😊
@@ranaodetallah1135 You can email me: kevin@sre-int.com

But other platforms do not have trade assurance like Alibaba. So, how can we trust on others????
Thats a great Video and will help a lot of Brands. I am a Market Analyst and also help brands source products, especially home decor and I have adviced them to use these very steps, they sure have worked wonders in some cases but in some, you have to take a more sophisticated Approach ofcourse.
Very informative, thank you!!!
very informative, how do you find a sourcing agent and how do you know they are legit
Alibaba has done me good personally. I've ordered over 40k in goods and always a pleasure

The network that I have worked with has treated me well so far.
Although, you must do your due diligence before doing business with an agent, supplier, or manufacturer because the wrong one could be detrimental to your business.

Great content. anyone, who want to import from India ?
best way is find a Chinese friend and get it directly from the factories and then ship to you.
I could be your China friend maybe,we have our own designers and factory just let me know what product you need
Good content and video thank you so much for sharing and posting!
Informative, thank you!
Thank You. Great job. I wonder though how are the suppliers in Pakistan or India?
You should do business with them then only you will get to know. Regards- DMR EXPORTS, India
Good job all your information is for large quantities but if I want to get products for personal use how should I go about it thanks
SCAMMER WARNING!!!! 👆
Ali Express would be your best bet

Just wondering why Wish wasn’t included? Is that because they are not considered in wholesale category? Thanks. BTW, thank you for the informative video!
Is Wish b2b?
Wish is an american co.
What is your recommendation for accessories (jewelry) wholesalers?
Happy to find alternatives to using Chinese sources.
I've bought one item from them and was pissed off at how long it takes to ship items.
Also, I bought what I thought was an electronic device, and got in the mail a piece of toddler clothing. Haven't bought anything from them since. I've written Alibaba off due to inability to trust them, and the interminable shipping times.
(ObsidianPortal🤦🏻♂️) The alternate websites provided are aimed at commercial resellers buying bulk items, not single item purchase like you and me. Cheers, Michael 🇦🇺
Sorry you had a bad experience with them :s may i ask, did you go for manufacturers instead of suppliers that were well over 9+ trading experience? Im always looking for manufacturers instead of just suppliers and i never approach them if they are less than 8+ experience because i dont trust any business under at least 8 + experience lol Id rather go with the company that makes the products and if they provide other services then even better. Anyway I hope you found the right suppliers anyway. Goodluck on your journey.
As a dropshipper, you have to be very careful when buying from suppliers. There's a list of things you have to look for to avoid getting ripped off.

You know what, First i thought it must worth it to watch this channel. But, I gave a chance anyway. oh boy, I'm suprised and You deserve a new Subscriber. Good job
This seemed to do more to promote and strengthen one's decision to stick with Alibaba than to highlight worthwhile alternatives to it. Must be me...
you got the idea
By dicussing pros and cons of alternative, this video help user to realize Alibaba beats the others. But I as a Chinese manufactuer, prefer to attend exhibition having a direct exposure with end customer and exploring their demand, rather than sitting behind screen. 3 years ZERO COVID left us no choice, but now things changed completely.
It is u, because as a successful entrepreneur u have options, u don’t put ur money into one spot all the time, then u don’t grow and branch out. U stay relying on one manufacturer u have no control over. its good to have option and source in places where others wouldn’t think about because all the mass do is follow the leader. Everyone at this point knows about Alibaba and Aliexpress.
I am new here. I am in LA and recently decided to pursue selling my niche cosmetic line that (back in the day) was in top stores from US, UK, and Berlin. Fred Segal, Planet Blue, Bigelow, Space NK, selrvt Nordstrom, etc... I want to sell into China but read in Chinese news that US brands are 'out of favor.' I get news from China daily, i am a nurse but was prior a cosmetic chemist. I would greatly value your thoughts about this.

Don't trust any western news reporting about china , cosmetic market is highly saturated here for foreign brand you might need to spend lots of budget on ads. But the cost on customer acquisition is considerably cheap compared to us eu market.
Incredibly helpful :D Thanks!!
THX FOR THE INFO... BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS
Great video! I would have killed for this 10 years ago. I have a question that probably is outside the scope of this video… Do you have any resources for going after Chinese factories who don’t follow through on deals? Specifically, taking deposits, and holding them without following through on the order. Do you have any suggestions or legal remedies within China? Thanks again for the great content
The best way is through prevention. Use Trade Assurance and hire an inspector. Once money has changed hands, it's hard to get it back
@@notyouraveragegoldenpotato there is an update to this situation: the factory had their email hacked. We are still out the money, but the good news is we still have a supplier :-) glass half full.
@Jeff Christy don't let em get you 2x😅 there's only millions of companies. Innumerable options. That company failed their security and that put you out financially.. find a different/ better supplier would be my action right off the bat
Screw China and Alibaba! Buy from USA, Mexico and Canada.
I doubt anything like that exists. I have had no problems with china. I get the product but it takes forever, or if they don't have it I get a refund. The US have different laws than china and the us government can't make China or any other foriegn country refund money. My bank account was wiped out by a clerk in a hotel. He sent my info to Veitnam. Nobody could do anything about it, but the bank reimbursed all the money. The detective didn't even investigate the clerk in town.
I don’t recommend DHgate, alibaba is cheaper compared to them. I bought cups (50pcs), they messed up my whole order. I left a note to them before checkout and specifically said which color I wanted. They didn’t read my note, ignored it and gave me the wrong colors. My order also took almost 3 months to get to me, I was overly excited when it was finally delivered to my doorstep.
And no I was not able to ship it back because they wanted me to pay the fees for sending it back. So I still have them………….
I wouldn't recommend DHgate either.
Wow, this must have been so stressful for you.
@@asalmaleki Not really.
Can you please send me the best suppliers in Alibaba whom i can completely trust
most people in china, cant read english. you need a translator .well maybe contact me. see what i can do .
Huawei, Eaton, Santak, Delta, APC series UPS are available from stock.Happy cooperation.
In addition to the main business, the salesmen of our company also help their foreign customers purchase Chinese products. They can always find reliable quality goods and supply Chinese products to their customers at very low prices.
In my experience with Yiwugo, suppliers require a high quantity of products, and the staffs are not that friendly.

To be honest, as an OEM manufacture with 28 years of history in metal, plastics and PCBA, we never join any of these platforms. But yes, Alibaba is full of trading comppanies and everyone are selling the simillar products, same as the global sourcing. If the client is targeting higher standerds, or OEM products, it could be really challenging.
Do you have a website? How would someone in the US find you?
I second that question
What sprt of products do you manufacture? Do you have a web site?
Our company is also, as an OEM,ODM manufacturer with 18 years of kids electronic toys. At present, we had built our own website, because there are too many trading companies on Alibaba, leading to vicious price competition. Let our high-quality products and services can not be directly reflected to the buyers.
