This is certainly one of the most hilarious things i have ever seen. Omo-oniles tried to extort N65,000 from a man building a house at Ajah...long story short...soldiers entered the matter somehow and the rest as dey say na history. Watch video and share with friends...
These guys were doing slapping competition...haha.
Buying without registration is easy. you just have to get the contact of the seller and you are free to go.
Now let me take you down the Non-registration Route (In my opinion Best Route.)
When you visit any link on 1688. com, the seller always and its a must, I repeat the sellers always have their phone numbers on the page , you will also see the trade manager , Qq Id (not often) or Wechat id(not often).
PHONE NO This is the easiest way to have things go your way.
There is a popular saying that " you use money to get money". Here this saying take effect.
All you have to do, is pick up the phone no of the contact. and then send him a simple text message, see
TEXT MESSAGE
*******************************************
Hi
I am from Nigeria. I want to buy watch on your 1688.com store. please send me your qq or Trade manager Id to my +2348065432....
Now take note of the message format above I still added my phone no. even though am using my phone no to send the text. the reason is because at times when you call China , they receiving party will not receive or see your phone no. Its done by their network for security reasons. At times they receiving part might see your phone no. so to avoid a case where your phone number is not seen. Just add it to your message.
Note!!!: As at this time of writing. A text message of 1 page to China cost N15. So I believe this should not be a problem.
TRADE MANAGER ID
Every seller on 1688.com uses trade manager. Do not forget that the website is owned by the ALIBABA GROUP. Now if a seller is online just Click that icon and chat will come up then go onbchatting with them.
QQ I'd Some sellers use QQ. you can get it from them or you will see it openly written.
Conclusion
You need not register to buy an Item on 1688 . com , all that is needed is for you to establish contact with your seller and booooooooom discussion continues.
Payment Method
There are two ways of paying on 1688.com
1. Through MONEY TRANSFER by your NIGERIAN SHIPPING AGENT 2. Through your NIGERIAN ATM CARD.
Now I use this most often. Most seller on 1688 . com have stores on aliexpress and Alibaba . com, ask them that you want to pay on aliexpress, they will agree and ask you to place an order then you will pay. That's how you do things. Note!! Most times some Chinese sellers can be funny. they will give you stupid items. so that's why its best to bring them online on Aliexpress or Alibaba and leverage the power of escrow.
However if you are to carry out a money transfer, let it be Payment-On-Delivery. some may not agree all you dobis send them the money straight.

God must continue to bless u even of u r ana atheist
Ymodulus: Last year, 2015 , is a year I won't forget too soon. It's one I in which I took the bold step to leave the importation business into other areas.
I would have loved to share my experience in full ( I.e 1 business per thread ), but won't be doing so as am getting lazy.
However I have decided to give a brief straight to the point summary of all Businesses I ran last year, my strong points and weak points.
I will try my best to ensure, each summary can be of help those intending to go into this business.
OK. Now let's go
Your Profile says you are an Atheist but still i say - God bless you. Thanks for the insight. You did not have to share you experiences but you did and i have gaind from them. I feel more hopeful as a corps(NYSC) member who would soon be passing out.
its out of stock meaning some people have bought it. If you had the money.. it would not be a big deal to you. to a man with 1000 naira left, 100 naira na big money but to a man with one million naira, 100 naira na change.

Vabadonsblog: The 2015 Miss Universe Host, Steve Harvey made an unforgettable mistake as he named the wrong person Miss Universe 2015.
Steve Harvey named Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez instead of Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach. He later corrected the mistake and had to apologise.
See her reaction when the crown was removed from her head:
Chiderad: Thanks for your concern and i appreciate your counsel.
I engage email marketing just that this past 40 days i've not re-subscribed my Getresponse account.
I did cold calling to six businesses i saw their details online yesterday and two responded positively to me. One said i should come to her office on tuesday and the other said i should send him a mail and expect a reply on monday.
I'm going to re-read my facebook ads material and try it out this coming week. I'll start with $5 and see how it goes before investing further.
You are most welcome and I respect your go-getter and autodidact approach to this. You are the living definition of Entrepreneurship. You can do email marketing using just your gmail account. Cold calling is quite expensive especially wen you consider the amount expended on the calls that did not materialize into sales/engagement.
With a regular gmail account you can send the same mail to multiple recipients at once and attach your business marketing materials if you wish. You do not have to wait for Getresponse subscription.
mrsage: We need to connect. Looks like I need your service How can I reach you?
you can send me an email rufwork001@gmail.com
I do not give out my business email address online because of spammers.
Oh and by the way, I just checked out you website Naija Tourist and I would advise you change the image on the homepage to a high resolution image. That would give a better first impression and add more beauty to your homepage especially considering the fact that you are specialising in the tourism niche....
pneumaticos: Bro,this guy wilk make mistake at the end ot the day,10 k .budget cant get him anything on facebook or punch but he said he has read enough,
He should rather consult you or an ad expert to help him,thats like helping a brother in need,you already gave him a hint ot what he.should do to bring in future roi but he is not seeing it,i am sure you noticed it from his comment
How can somebody without experience advertise on facebook or punch
Thanks for this suggestion, I believe you are right, the OP ( Chiderad ) needed help and i have offered some help and infact offered free consulting services. If he needs professional assistance then thats another matter entirely.
I did not want to come here marketing myself as an expert and that is why i jst offered help. Social media advertising is like wedding planning. most times the couple spends unnecessarily. People with expoerience like me help you trim your budget and ensure you derive the appropriate turnover and result without spending all your budget. Sometimes we get results for half the budget. But i am not here to market myself and i wish the OP luck. if he feels he needs my professional assistance then sure I am available. but sometimes is better for people to try it themselves so they would learn.
By the way if i were the OP, i would not use facebook ADs or PUNCH ADS.. i would use email marketing since the service is a professional accounting service and i have access to the email of businesses in nigeria by location. That is more direct and has the highest probability of getting the best return on investment.
I have a fair idea on how to use facebook ads. I've read a whole lot and watched videos but have never tried it with my money before. I'm sure you know that they're two different things.
I've the graphics already but will laser target my audience for maximum impact. I've a website as well just that i've not renewed my Getresponse subscription for sometime now, no thanks to the jumping dollars exchange.
Thanks for this push.
I'll get back to the forum to let you know what happened.
Cheers!
It is great that you hvae read alot about it. if you eventually decide to do it yourself, ensure you spend you budget in little bits...what i mean is spens about a dollar then examine the statistics/analytics and then adjust your demographics accordingly and spend the next dollar and so on and so forth.

i need genuine help from those who have been there and done that.
Don't know which of the platforms to engage for my business advert - facebook or Punch newspaper?
I render accounting service and i need help to make a good decision as to how best to maximise my resources on advert.
My budget is N10,000 for a start. I want to test the waters before i dig deep.
Useful counsel will be highly appreciated.
Regards.
The question is how much do you know about these two advertising platforms. what is your target audience and demographic? what would 10k get you in punch newspaper? do you have any knowledge or experience with facebook ads? what is your offer/advertising goal? i have Facebook advertising experience and i can tell you that it offers way more value that any print advertising because it is laser targeted to whatever demographics that you want. define who you want to reach out to and Facebook ads will help you get to them but you can burn your budget very quickly with facebook ads if you do not know what you are doing ..so consult someone with some experience.
for facebook ads you would require some simple catch graphics design that would show up on both desktop and mobile devices of your target audience. punch would give you some small white and black box in one corner of a page that most people might assume is a scam ..is that what you want?
Note: if you do not know what you are doing with facebook ads, you will burn up your budget without results.
to help you make up you mind/give you some insight into what facebook ads offer, you have the following options:
Boost your posts Promote your Page Send people to your website Increase conversions on your website Get installs of your app Increase engagement in your app Raise attendance at your event Get people to claim your offer Get video views
