How do I make money online?
How do I build business with Chinese products?
Where do I buy cheap products I can sell?
These are just a few examples of the questions I got during the last months.
Earning money with Chinese products is ‘hot’ these days.
But where do you start?
Do you need support on making money with China products?
The readers from this blog sent me a lot of recurring questions about building businesses with Chinese products.
Some questions are very basic like: Can you recommend a shop for this product?
Some questions are from experienced people like: How can you order from the Chinese mainland if you don’t want to use an agent.
And a lot of them are somewhere between these questions.

i will love a course so i can know more about this business.
If the cost of the training is affordable and i can always have access to them whenever i want, then there is no problem.

i will be grateful if will release the ebook am an upcoming enterprenuer and a student i have once shopped with alliexpress, but the shipping rate is so high, as for alibaba their is too much scam their, am looking forward to starting my own store and i will really love it, even if i will pay for it
Thank you for you comment John.
Hi,
1. I would pay for a course if it fitted within my learning style.
2. You dont mention in your course anywere about overcoming the first barrier you have, the ‘mindset’ of how people, feel, see, think about purchasing products from China.
3. I would pay for a course, but I would like at least a some sort of ‘Guarantee’ of at least a certain level on profits if I don’t ‘deviate’ from you course.

1.yes i like it a lot!
2.it will be great to talk about suppliers and dropshippers who working with PayPal-personally i’m preferred to do business with those who do(not aliexpress etc….)
3.if the price is not too high for me-yes.
Thank you for your comment Billy
Yes I am interested in raising my profit and also like other ideas.This will also help me save money and time.I would like you to always contact me on all of this.
Thanks Gladys!
1.Am interested of cause .
2.What I will really like to know more about is the best shipping method to use for different products so that you can make your profit after selling them…
For example I placed an order for some jewelries from Aliexpress on the 11th sales though am yet to make the payment , but I found out that to ship them down to Nigeria here with dhl is even more costly than all the items I bought put together and someone have discouraged me from using free shipping saying that a times you would have forgotten about the products you bought before they will alive and some times the products wouldn’t be complete if you use free shipping …. and having to pay more than the amount you buy the products for the shipping is really discouraging , it minimizes your profit if not making you to lose your money .
3. if the prize is OK with me and my budget , why not I will buy
Thank you, Rubi
I am looking to establish my own business because self employment is the best.So this course would be much appreciated.My problem is I do not where to start.
I need information on how to make payment from Ghana,Are payment methods like Western Union, money gram,bank wire or transfer safe? Also Should one pay for a product you have not seen? How reliable is the quality?,How do one inspect the product from in the Chinese shop from Ghana? After receiving the product and stop working,or develops an issue after some days,what should one do?,What if they get your money and refuse to send the product.Should you pay for something you’ve not seen?,I need to to pay to keep the course going only if it becomes affordable.
Thank you for your contribution, Kwaku!
this course will be great for those who wants to enter into serious business. it’s a laudable idea. but before this blog came in, I was looking at pandawill and they claim in the site they provide manuals in English, German, Spanish, etc for Chinese branded smartphones like Huawei, lenovo, etc. can you check and give a recommendation? if it’s really true, then that’ll be my next stop.
Hi Amos, getting in contact is one of the items I will cover in this course. Because it is so very important to build long term relationships with these shops. I cannot do this for you. My suggestion is to contact Pandawill and ask any question you have.
1. Of course, I’m interested and I can’t wait to learn more. 2. I would like to know about the kinds of product that can really sell and bring profit in no time. 3. Well, it’s really tricky..if the course can really guarantee the dividends then why not but it should be affordable. Also, I’m from Nigeria and how would one pay for the course. But I think you shouldn’t charge for this first course.
Thank you for your contribution Dave,
Btw the only guarantee in live is that the sun will come up tomorrow. I’m sure the course will be valuable, but the amount of dividend, depends on the person who takes the action 😉
Hi,
That would be great!
1 yes I like that
2 i’m mostly interested in raising my profit, but also like the other ideas
3 If it is good and can save me money or time, sure!
Thanks Paul for you contribution.
