Goodday nairalanders,
I read recently that people have not being sharing useful information on nairaland like before.

This guy came here and told us what he knew about exportation but sugested you can buy foreign contacts from him. He did not enforced it; in fact he suggeated ways buy which you can get contacts yourself.

Even if you go on tradekey.com you will be ask to pay $550 dollars minimum to see just one single contact and you want someone to give his list for free?

Is the information not right?
Remember, everybody was happy and singing the praise of this guy until he asked people to buy his contact list.
Must you buy his contact list?

I think the best thing is for anyone to put into practice what we have learnt period!

please check out commoditylife.com

I really don't get your point?

He only gave a tutorial on how to export goods from Nigeria. He says if you want a list of buyers, pay 3500. He hasn't made the 3500 compulsory in any way. It's a choice. Besides, he has explained how you can source your own buyers yourself.

Why do you need pictures of what he exports? Can't you guys follow his steps and see if you can come do it successfully?

If you aren't convinced about what he's preaching, unfollow his thread and let him.be please.

Our point is, most innocent people have lost money trying to buy some so called 'list of buyers' We don't want such to happen again!

I don't have anything against the OP if he's sincere and true about what's he doing! in fact I applaud him.
The truth is most people with genuine list of buyers wouldn't let it out to the public, cause of fear of competition.

But if the OP is really sincere and truly has a heart for people to succedd like some people in the importation thread, then I truly applaud him. He's a true Nigerian and patriotic!

Providing evidence that you truly doing what you saying you doing shouldn't be hard nah! unless of course, you just starting to do it, you have no experience like u claim and you just want people to believe that so that they can buy your product!

Oh really? To buy contact of buyers? I knew you must pay for something in the end. There is nothing bad about it though, but OP made it seem like he was gonna give everything free.

And who is that person saying you have to pay $550 just to see 1 person on TradeKey?

I am a member on TradeKey, just haven't upgraded to premium.

great thread

@0p, I learnt that before one could embark on real exportation, one must have a physical office registered with CAC before you will be given license and able to conduct a genuine deal. what's your say about this pls?. I need clarification. tnx

That will not be necessary if you are exporting in small quantity. But if you are exporting in large quantity you will need it .
However, I will advice you to always start small. That is usually the best way to start any new venture or business.
Thanks

thank you for your response, like how much do I need to start (capital requirements)? I know where to get quality commodities like ground nut, cassava, cashew nuts at dirt cheap prices.

Sir,
Those products are heavy and they might require huge capital.
That is the major reason why I advice you to start with light weight products.
I honestly do not know how much you can start with because I do not know the quantity we are talking of here sir. Neither do I know your country of destination.
All I know for now is that those products are heavy and it will increase your shipping cost.
Meanwhile, I will appreciate if you leave these comments on my blog. This is because nairaland can banned me or you or even any one at anytime.
Thanks

He really doesn't need to upload pictures of what he has exported. Coming on here to tell us how to start small is enough.
Let everyone go in search of their buyers if they think 3500 is not necessarily (I personally wI'll not pay 1 naira to anyone).


You don't expect him to give you his contact for free because there is no free thing even in Freeland. Freelance sef isn't free

You don't have to remember all of them at once but you need to know at least some of them off hand

Please, How do I get a nylon bag that is strong and durable, Where can we get or buy them from?

Well job done @Op,I am here to support and contribute to your effort for the benefit of seriously interested folks but no to sell anything to anyone.Folks,I strongly believe you have learnt alots from OP and this should help some to have been taken some certain steps. I know major challenge in exportation is “how to get a foreign buyer” and “payment system” which OP has address with some vital clues.

If you have your products at hand,finalize a deal with your buyer but in other to calculate you ROI by the cost of freight rate,certification and packaging.Contact on whatsapp at the signature.You are not going to pay a dine except you need my service for the freight to your buyer.

The time has come for all to promote our economy by diversification.Once again I commend OP for his effort,more grease to your elbow.

NOTE:We base only on air freight to any country around the world...thanks.
