Okay, I am not really an organized writer when it comes to teaching people stuff and I usually have to get into the right frame of mind, literarily condition my mind, before I start writing contents because I have drifted and do not find writing for this purpose interesting lol... that is why I delayed. It is a hard stuff.

The first thing you need to do is go over to Alibaba.com and sign up...

They have an app on playstore which you can download for onward communication.

1688.com is a Chinese version with cheaper products prices. But when I reviewed their price and compare it with Alibaba, the difference wasn't much (likely the same) and so, I stuck with Alibaba for all my stuff.

Mind you, same person owns both websites--Jack Ma. He owns TaoBao.com too and a few others as the undisputed eCommerce king of China.

What you are doing is not just importation but eCommerce and over the years, this business model has proven to be one of the biggest investion of man, an a offshoot of commerce as we know it in the real world. The only difference is the electronic medium of transactions and communications.

Amazon, Ebay, Walmart are early players of this business model and they have remained strong ever since, with Amazon taking the lead.

In the mathematical projections, I am going show you how guys really make this money. Though there are setbacks but the wins outweigh the loss if DONE RIGHT.

You don't need many products. Just one winning product is ENOUGH to get you to your goal and this is possible if you find a scalable niche that you can sell and milk till it dries up before moving to another one. You have to do this in order to be focus and not pay attention to other noise out there.

if you know the product, how can you sell it? calm down bro. having a product and not know how to sell it is as good as bad.

there are parts that makes this thing work, not just the product.

This is what Alibaba.com looks like for those that have never been to the website before. You can use the search box to find product that you have in mind.

Attached is a report from Toyin Omotosho. I know Destiny pretty well. Destiny bought those stuff from Alibaba.com


From the report here, Toyin said Destiny made 20M+ but Destiny, according to what he revealed to us, made close 50M that same year. JUST ONE PRODUCT.

Why did this product bring him so much money? A lot of people are being harrased sexually and they would need evidence to back up their claims and some bad boys/girls like to record their sexual escapades too, some couples would want to catch their cheating spouses, some would want to monitor what goes on in their house... the possibilites are endless for this product.

For the doubting thomases, before someone will accuse me of photoshop or lying... here is link:

https://twitter.com/toyinomotoso/status/1301197196394725376

Most products link to sex sells like wildfire, to be honest. But the sad thing is, you cannot directly sell sexual products (sex-enhancing or dildos) on facebook.

Before you pick a product, think about the scability and how many people that you can sell to.

There are millions of cars to Nigeria and once a while people need to inflate their tyres, which will require them to visit a Vulcanizer for fixes.

What if there isn't a vulcanizer nearby and they have a flat tyre that needs fixing? We would need our own tool or equipment to fix this problem, wouldn't we?

That brings us to Portable Tyre inflator. You can instantly see how this product can be hot in demand for car owners and it will SAVE them money too in the long run.

See the attached image.

Let's assume that we settle for the tyre inflator and we would like to import and sell it.

The next thing to do is contact the sellers, based on prices that you feel is best for you. When you contact sell, you tell him/her that you want to make purchase their product with specifics on quantity.

They will set up a payment link for you to make the payment and you will give them address of your Chinese agent (or shipper), where they will send your product to. It would take about 2-3 days for this process to complete, that is sending the package from seller to your shipper.

When your package gets to your shipper, you will have to choose between express and cargo (due to corona, only cargo shipping is currently considered across all shippers) and they charge per KG.

In our network, we have a bunch of them that handle this business. That is all they do. You have Base 1, I am currently using NBC logistics. I think they have a website.

Let me also add that Cargo takes minimum of 14 days for goods to arrive Nigeria (specifically Lagos), while Express is 48 hours (not available at the moment due to covid 19)

Thanks for the detailed explanation bro.

But how do we know "good" sellers because they said some sellers will send an inferior version of what you ordered. Which can lead to losing money.

Also, what's the minimum amount you think will be needed to start this business?

Thanks.

Okay, firstly, Alibaba.com has escrow service within its system. This means that when you pay, sellers do not get paid immediately until after a specific time has elapsed.

Most Chinese products have inferior qualities BUT that is also dependent on price of what you are buying. If you looking for cheap items too often, you might end up with fakes. I almost lost 400k late last year because of this mistake. Also, it is good to ALWAYS buy a sample FIRST and run a demo facebook ads before you proceed.

This is how I do mine.
