Hey guys, today am going to be giving you 4 mistakes newbies make while doing mini importation from china and how to avoid them, so if you really want to overcome these mistakes/challenges make sure you read till the end.
I actually see a lot of people running from one tutorial to another about mini importation and a lot of people talk about how they make profit and the benefit they get from doing mini importation, but no one ever really talks about the obstacles and the set backs involved with mini importation

1: Research
Research is very important when it comes to mini importation and when you do not carry out a proper research you are likely to end up on the loosing side. To do your research and to do it very well first of all you need to go to the Chinese site were you are buying from, be it 1688.com, aliExpress e.t.c. and make sure that product can be easily sold to people in your country or location. Another way to go about it is to use goggle trend, goggle trend is actually a tool you can use to search to see whats trending in your community or country, goggle trend will help you know what particular keyword is actually trending in your area
2:Time of shipping delivery
Sometimes most people tend not to focus on the time of shipping/delivery of their goods if you are buying a product that is selling fast at a particular period of time and you then go and pick a shipping that will take about 60 days, then definitely before you get those products, the products might already be saturated in the market, obviously this is going to be a very big loss for you, so if you are shipping your product from china you need to pick a particular shipping that would be of benefit to you and your business, you can actually go for the air express or the sea shipping, if you take your product by air they will arrive as soon as possible (7 to 14 days) if you are taking your product through sea then definitely you should be waiting for those products for 30 to 60 days. This aspect needs to be a factor to how fast you want to sell your products you would not want to buy your product early and then the products arrives when its all over the market, so you need to be very cautious of your delivery time.
3:Selling from your own website
i actually see a lot of beginners go to websites such as: konga, jumia, jiji e.t.c to sell their products, which is very innovative and its actually a very good idea but i would humbly advice you to go ahead and get your own website (be it big or small) were you can use to sell your products, most of the big eCommerce websites are very competitive, any day anytime owning your websites gives you a edge over someone who just relies on third party website. And remember the goal of being an entrepreneur is to be your own boss.
4:Keeping in touch with your customer
Don't have the mentality or mindset that once someone buys a product from you that the relationship is over. you can actually keep in touch with these guys get their phone numbers, email address through your website or were ever you want to get them from and keep in touch with them over and over they can actually still come back and buy more of your product even better recommend you to people they know.
