Business ideas with China. How to buy equipment in China? What is better to sell

Good afternoon, dear readers! Evgeny Guryev is with you - an expert of the online business magazine "PAPA HELP" on the subject of Internet commodity business and business with China. The topic of this article is business with China.

If you think that the times of brisk trade in Chinese goods have irrevocably sunk into the past, then I hasten to please you - it is not! Thousands of businessmen from Russia and other countries continue to make money on supplies from China, selling goods at a price of 3-5 times more expensive than purchased.

Do you want to start your own business with minimal risk, low initial investment and with a work scheme that has been proven for decades? Then business with China suits you in all respects. In this article, I described the features and nuances of trading in Chinese goods, plus step by step instructions for "dummies" to launch a business project from "A" to "Z".

Are you interested in how to make money? from 100 000 rubles per month"clean" in the trade of Chinese goods? Then read the article to the end!

Is it realistic to start a business with China from scratch in 2019, or is it a bygone train?

Yes, it's real! And in my experience, I have proven this many times, earning million rubles .

Chinese-made goods still make up a significant share of the global market. This is not surprising - China has a developed industry, cheap labor, many years of economic growth and, in the end, 1.5 billion people.

Marking "Made in China" is no longer an indicator of low quality. Modern goods from China have become more functional, high quality and durable. And they look much better than 15-20 years ago.

In Russia, up to 80% of light industry products are produced in China. There are such goods in every home - these are wallets, watches, telephones, Appliances, toys, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics and much, much more - do you agree with me?! Surely at least half of the goods in your home are made in China.

What does this mean for you? This means that the market for Chinese goods is simply huge, billions of dollars are “spinning” here every year, and why shouldn’t you be the one to break off a piece of this huge financial pie?

The main advantage of doing business with Chinese goods is that the resale scheme has been worked out to the smallest detail and is available to everyone. You don't even need to have initial capital to start your own business.

For example, the dropshipping model* allows you to earn income with almost no investment. If you wish, you do not even have to leave your home - all operations will be performed online.

Working according to the dropshipping scheme, you reduce financial risks to a minimum!

The algorithm of work is reduced to three points:

Find a supplier in China and purchase goods at the manufacturer's price.
Deliver to Russia.
Implement at a premium.

You ask: what about customs, documents, taxes? But do not rush, we will analyze each stage of the business process in detail in the following sections.

Remember:

philistine skepticism and the position “this niche has long been occupied, it makes no sense to break” are the main obstacles to success. Any entrepreneurial activity requires courage, but at the same time a meaningful approach.

Why China? It's simple - mass production in this country was initially "sharpened" for export to other states. The cost of production here is extremely low due to low wages and the use of industrial technologies.

Chinese factories operate non-stop, supplying products to all corners of the planet.

The stereotype “Chinese means wretched and breaks down quickly” is no longer relevant. My Chinese eBook has been working for five years without failures and complaints. The quality of products from this country is constantly growing, but at the same time prices remain low. China has no competitors in this parameter. So, you need to buy goods there.

Practice shows that business with China is not a “gone train”, but, on the contrary, a direction that is gaining momentum

If you are still in doubt, here is a visual list of the main advantages of working with Chinese manufacturers:

Low prices. Working with domestic manufacturers, you will get a "cheat" on goods in the area 20-50% . Trade in Chinese goods will bring from 100 to 1,000% markup.
A wide range of. Not just an assortment, but an “assortment”. The choice of products is almost endless. The Chinese market has absolutely everything. If you want to work on popular products - please. If you prefer an exclusive niche that has no analogues in the country, no problem.
Refined algorithm. You don't need to invent anything. There are websites of suppliers, there are schemes for the delivery of goods. Even if you work with a large wholesale, you do not have to look for transport companies for a long time, conduct tedious negotiations, etc. The manufacturer will deliver the goods either by himself or by professional intermediaries for a moderate fee. They will also help with customs, paperwork, certificates.
High competition among Chinese manufacturers. There are many sellers in China, and each of them is trying to find its niche in the market. Firms value each client and are ready to conclude contracts on the most favorable terms for the buyer (price reduction, compensation for transportation costs, bonuses for bulk purchases). They are in touch around the clock, ready to start with minimal lots, you can bargain with them, request samples of goods for free. Experienced buyers know how to keep the price to a minimum and earn maximum profit by selling high-priced Chinese goods in their own country.

You ask, if goods are so easy to buy from a supplier, why do people need intermediaries?

Everything is simple!

People do not have the time and desire to understand all the variety of Chinese sites, calculate the cost of products, taking into account delivery, and wait for the package. It is much easier to act through a responsible intermediary who has already agreed with the manufacturer and placed the goods with a clear description in Russian on their website.

I am sure that I was able to convey to you in an accessible way the prospects and benefits of building a business with China and prove that this is not a train that has gone away, but a real opportunity for you to start your own business.

How to start a business with China without big investments - 10 easy steps for a beginner

Now let's move on to practice.

Below is basic circuit business. Delete and add items depending on the specifics of the product you have chosen and other objective factors.

Step 1. Choose a business model

There are several effective business models for reselling goods from China. First you need to choose the best option depending on the specifics of the product and the size of the initial capital.

Trading methods (models):

Dropshipping. I have already talked about this model above, I will briefly repeat it. This method does not involve the purchase of goods in large quantities. You don't need a warehouse - just a site to sell. In other words, it is exclusively an intermediary activity. You simply look for customers, collect money from them, and only after that you order the goods from the supplier, and he himself sends the goods to the customer's address. By using the dropshipping model, you simply get the difference from that sale.
Wholesale. The main thing here is to find a reliable supplier and customers who will purchase goods from you in large quantities. You again take on the role of middleman, but this time for large deliveries.
Retail sales offline and online. A method for those who have their own point of sale online or in real life. Competent marketing, attractive prices, professional design - these are the main components of success.
Joint purchases. A group of several people buys wholesale lots of goods from the supplier and then sells them. The goal is to reduce shipping costs and purchase products at the lowest (wholesale) price due to volume.

Whatever scheme you choose, success depends on the competent organization of the process and a responsible approach to business.

Step 2. Define resources

Your resources may be:

Time. The most important non-renewable resource. Sometimes even one of them is enough to successfully launch your business. Time can compensate for any other resources, if used properly.
Money. Their presence will be a plus, but is not a prerequisite for starting your project. You only need a few hundred dollars to get started. For example, a dropshipping scheme does not require money to purchase goods. Mediation eliminates the risk of failure, however, and the income will be small under such a scheme.
Information and knowledge. A well-known expression says: "Who owns the information, he owns the world." In the topic of business with China, it is fully justified, because I know the schemes of work, pricing and ways to promote goods, you will always be one step ahead of your competitors.
Experience. By experience, I mean any commercial skills that you have acquired in the course of your life: the ability to negotiate, marketing, work with social networks. networks, knowledge of special analytical and graphic programs, English, and even better Chinese. All this is for you the foundation for a successful start in the Chinese "theme".
Connections. It's no secret that in our time connections play the same important role as money. In contrast to “close ties” with the local city administration or an acquaintance of the prosecutor, here I mean the presence of friends and acquaintances in China or cities close to this country, in particular in Vladivostok.

One of my acquaintances successfully traded Chinese teas, goods with wow effects from the Middle Kingdom in the city of Stavropol, having experience in purchasing Chinese goods at a previous job and an acquaintance in Vladivostok.

Step 3. Find your niche (the product that we will sell)

Let's define this concept.

Niche is a commodity line. For example hours.

Product is a unit of production in this niche. For example, watches with a GPS tracker, CASIO G-SHOCK watches, etc.

What to trade? Beginners should start with products that enjoy constant attention (demand) from buyers.

A few tips for choosing the right Chinese products for resale:

Tip 1. Determine in advance the demand for the categories of products you choose with the help of special Internet services, of which there are quite a few. But the simplest and most effective of them is YandexWordstat. This service allows you to determine how many times a month this or that phrase (word) was typed by Yandex users in the search bar. That is, this tool allows you to determine the demand for a particular product.

Now I will show you clearly how it works, and you repeat!

Using the example of a watch with a GPS tracker, let's determine the frequency of the request: " buy gps watch».

Go to YandexWordstat and type this phrase in the search line of this service.

The higher the frequency of a query for a particular product in Wordstat, the more in demand it is

And you will see that this phrase was searched for 11,700 people per month. And this means that there is a demand for this product.

In my experience, if this figure exceeds 10,000 requests per month, then you can easily start selling this product.

Another cool life hack from me! Type the same phrase in the Yandex search bar.

The presence of advertising in the "SPECIAL PLACEMENT" block of Yandex indirectly indicates the demand for this product

And more advice. Below I will give you several CPA networks and groups in VK (VKontakte) where you can buy goods from China. So, you can use these groups and services to make a decision on choosing a product for sale. If a product is advertised in VK groups, and the same product occupies TOP positions in CPA networks, then this means only one thing - the product is popular and you can earn money on it.

Tip 2. Choose a product that is popular, but not very competitive. It should not be sold in thousands of copies in every supermarket.

Before choosing a product for sale, go to the large stores in your city and make sure that the offer of this product or its analogues is there, but it is small.

This will allow you to sell your product to potential buyers without much effort.

Tip 3. Pay attention to quality. If you sell products of handicraft factories, the first customers in your store will be the last.

Tip 4. Understand thoroughly the product you have chosen. A real pro knows all the features and characteristics of the goods being sold, correctly determines the price for it and selects marketing strategy for advancement.

EXAMPLE

I have a friend who sells modern electronic gadgets. His knowledge in this area is simply amazing. He is aware of all types of virtual reality glasses and knows which health sensor is suitable for a weightlifter and which one for a runner.

Tip 5 Do not immediately purchase large quantities of new goods. It's always better to buy a trial quantity, evaluate the quality, "probe" the demand, sell the entire test batch, and only then make a large purchase.

When testing a niche, you can order a trial batch of goods from a small wholesaler in Russia. You will receive the goods much faster than when ordering from China. It will cost a little more, but you will quickly get results and be able to move on.

Step 4. Choose a product

There are two ways you can go when choosing Chinese goods to sell.

For a beginner , who just wants to start a business and is considering the option of cooperation with Chinese manufacturers, consumer goods with a high margin will do.

The ideal option is trending products that are now sold through one-page sites. These are products that solve the consumer's pains (lose weight, a bone in the leg sticks out, back hurts, loss of strength, moles in the garden, etc.) or have a WOW effect (new cool toys, luminous headphones, gadgets, unusual covers, etc. .d.)

Where to look for them? Yes, even on the same CPA networks or in groups of domestic wholesalers VKontakte.

Here are some of them:

kma.biz - CPA network
ad1 - CPA network
m1-shop - CPA network
Goods from China wholesale- group in VK;
Goods from China wholesale— group in VK;
Cupinato goods from China Taobao- VK group.

The main secret is to trade such goods not one at a time, but immediately with an assortment, launching several one-page sites with different goods at once.

EXAMPLE

You sell GPS watches on one site, on another you sell wireless headphones, on the third you sell video recorders, on the fourth you sell unusual toys. You earn from every product. In a month, profits are possible in 150-800 thousand rubles.

Now it will not be difficult to create a landing page (one-page site) for you. For symbolic money 10$ ) or even for free, you can create a full-fledged website on intuitive designers.

And this is a short video for you to get acquainted with the designer:

Soon we will have a separate article-instruction on how to create a one-page site yourself.

For the current entrepreneur , whose business is not related to the sale of Chinese goods, the strategy of expanding the range of already existing product categories and services of this businessman is more suitable.

EXAMPLE

Your business is suspended ceilings. Already know how to attract customers, the business is working, but would you like to earn more? What can be brought from China? As an option - LED chandeliers with control panels. It is no longer necessary to attract and look for customers: the audience is all site visitors.

Today, to organize a trading business, it is not at all necessary to travel to China, communicate with company representatives and sign papers in offices. All products are available online.

At first, while you do not have experience and knowledge, I recommend that you undergo preliminary training from experts. My team and I also provide support to newcomers in business with China and conduct training on this topic.

Comparative table of the most visited sites:

Name	Peculiarities	Pros (+)	Minuses (-)
	The platform is focused on small and large wholesale	Security for customers - transferring money only after delivery of products. There is a Russian version of the site.	Excessive popularity drives up prices
	The oldest site, suitable for bulk purchases	The main plus is low prices	Not suitable for retail purchases
	One of the ten most visited Internet resources in the world, suitable for any business model	Hundreds of millions of items of goods, some categories are not available on the Russian market at all	There is no Russian version of the official site

Two more life hacks when choosing a product on the AliExpress website.

Life hack 1. Use product sorting filters correctly.

Do everything as shown in the screenshot below and you will find the cheapest product with free shipping.

Use filters on Alixexpress to get the best price and shipping terms

Life hack 2. Use cashback services.

I recommend that you use the SmartySale cashback service. By making purchases using this service, you will receive up to 5% cashback (return of the amount paid for the purchases made) to your bank card.

If you are counting on constant trade and long-term cooperation with Chinese manufacturers, be sure to register on one of the above sites to start.

The absence of a Russian-language version is not yet a reason to refuse to work with a certain site: use an online translator, including for negotiations with suppliers. Successful online communication is the key to success.

Step 5. Search for a supplier and check for reliability

In the 4th step, I told you on which sites to look for the right product. And now let's figure out how to choose the right supplier and check it out.

Choose a supplier according to the criteria below

When choosing a supplier, pay attention to the following points:

Any activity related to money involves certain risks. There are a lot of scammers and dishonest "businessmen" among Chinese suppliers. Never negotiate with intermediaries and firms without prior verification.

Every company on the web now has reviews. Each official seller has documentary evidence of his status and recommendations. The best option when working with large wholesale is to request product samples, certificates, permits. Most of the scammers successfully merge after such requests.

Frequently asked questions about choosing a supplier, I answered in this short video:

Types of fraud faced by beginners, and sometimes experienced businessmen:

Supply of low quality goods. In China, there are thousands of semi-legal factories that drive goods from second-class, and sometimes dangerous materials. In the picture, the product looks like a hundred dollars, but in reality it is not worth even one.
Fake one-day companies. Fraudsters register a domain and spend advertising campaign in the Internet. The buyer is tempted by fantastic prices and profitable terms. After receiving payment, the company safely ceases to exist.
scammers in the process of negotiations, they get access to your data - card details, bank account and payment systems.

To protect yourself from these types of scams, follow the tips above when choosing a supplier.

Signs of a scam:

1) A domain that was registered only a few weeks or even days ago. You can check when a domain was registered on the Reg.ru website. To do this, enter the domain name in the search bar of the service and click the " WHOIS". See picture below.

Checking the lifetime of a site on REG.ru in 3 steps

2) Lack of contacts, legal and actual addresses on the supplier's website.

3) Low quality site design. Almost 100% indicates that this is a one-day site created by scammers on the knee.

Conclusion: check everyone you deal with!

Step 6. Calculate profitability

EXAMPLE

You bought 100 wristwatches of a well-known brand in China by 1,000 rubles per piece. Spending on it 100 000 rubles. During the year, you sold the entire volume of goods for 3,000 rubles per piece. The profitability of your business in this case will be: (300,000/100,000)*100%=300% per annum or 25% per month.

This is a very rough example, since the cost of attracting customers, staff salaries, and transportation costs can also be included in the expenditure side, which will reduce the profitability of your business. However, you need to plan this indicator in order to understand whether your commercial activity makes economic sense.

Step 7. We study the terms of delivery of products

Here I will tell you how to deliver the goods from China and further to the final consumer.

1. Delivery from China

Official suppliers detail the terms of sale and delivery on their websites. But each buyer has the right to offer his own terms of cooperation, which are more beneficial to him. For small batches of goods customs clearance and other manipulations with documents are not required.

How to bring a wholesale batch? Is there a way to deliver goods from China in small batches in 1-2 boxes or is it necessary to transport a container at once? Is it possible to do all this without registering an IP?

Use options such as "cargo" and "groupage cargo".

In short, these are ways to bring goods from China in small batches without registering an individual entrepreneur and without problems at customs. Approximately in terms of money 3,5 $ behind 1 kg and autodelivery 28 days.

Issues with customs are already included in this price. This is a great option for those who are already ready to buy goods directly from China with significant savings, but have not yet developed to such a level that they can buy in containers.

With the advent of such delivery methods, the prospects for start-up entrepreneurs immediately expanded - now they can purchase goods directly from China in small batches. It is convenient and profitable.

Here is an example of a company ecb.bz, which is engaged in cargo delivery. The video below details this delivery method, its advantages and features.

2. Delivery to the end consumer.

The next question that every entrepreneur needs to solve is “How to deliver your goods to the client in order to receive payment from him?”

Let's imagine that an entrepreneur lives in Ryazan. Of course, he is interested in selling his goods both in Moscow, and in St. Petersburg, and in other regions. By the way, Moscow and St. Petersburg are more than 70% of all online sales in Russia. You probably want to cut off for yourself, albeit not a big, but tasty piece of such a pie.

How, then, from Ryazan to sell goods via the Internet throughout Russia?

Muscovites want courier delivery. It is desirable that the goods be delivered yesterday and, as a last resort, tomorrow. You can’t deliver from Ryazan to Moscow in a day, or you can deliver it, but it will cost a pretty penny. What to do?

Everything is simple. There are wonderful fulfillment services, which can store your goods in a warehouse, issue it to your customers, deliver it by couriers in Moscow and St. Petersburg and send cash on delivery throughout the country.

Just magicians and wizards of logistics. Examples are a company such as Reworker.

Watch the video on how the fulfillment service works:

Ideally, for those who have been doing business for a long time, everything is done like this:

Goods from China go directly to the fulfillment service warehouse in Moscow.
All accepted orders from the Internet are transferred to the CRM system.
The fulfillment service delivers the goods to the client and accepts payment.
Once every 2 weeks, he transfers money to the owner of the online store.

That is, ideally, it is possible to achieve such a format of work when an entrepreneur does not see either goods or customers, and at the same time is not limited in any way in his geographical location.

Step 8. Find buyers

Finding a product at a bargain price is only half the battle. Attracting customers is the main difficulty of business in an oversupply environment. If you want to get a stable profit, you will have to show imagination in the use of marketing techniques.

Now the main battlefield is the Internet.

Consider several options (channels to attract customers).

1st option. One page site.

It can be purchased for some trendy product for 250 rubles. To do this, you just need to go to the Yandex browser, enter the request " Buy landing" or " Buy a one page website". Renting a hosting, domain and buying a one-page site will cost no more than 1 000 rubles .

As I mentioned above, you can create such one-page websites yourself using the LPGenerator website builder.

2nd option. Bulletin boards Avito and Yula.

The first orders can be obtained from these boards. Especially if you spell the name of the ad correctly and choose an attention-grabbing picture. You should build your ads according to the system ODC (Offer-Deadline-Call-to-Action) and pay for a couple of ads so that they are higher in the search results.

An example of an ODC ad (Offer, time limit, call to action)

3rd option. Targeted advertising in in social networks.

To generate more profit, you will need advertising on social networks. Modern advertising allows you to make an offer only to those people who are really interested in this product.

But there are also more interesting approaches. Do you remember how the famous Sherlock Holmes found criminals? He used the so-called deductive method, that is, he thought outside the box. And you have to develop an out-of-the-box marketing mindset in the process of finding customers.

Friends to make your life easier in search and segmentation target audience I recommend that you use the clear and convenient Targethunter service. It allows you to quickly find the audience you need, save 90% of your advertising budget using analysis tools and automate many processes.

Use promo code: papapomog and get 2 days of free access at the maximum rate + two months of using the service for the price of one.

Watch a short video about this service:

4th option. Yandex.Direct.

Make the most of the Yandex Advertising Network (YAN). Have you ever noticed that if you became interested or searched for some product in Yandex or Google, then the advertisement of this product will then follow you everywhere on all sites and even on social networks. This thing also works well: offers come to those who are most interested in this product.

Here's what it looks like:

contextual advertising Yandex Direct is concisely embedded in the text of the site

You can use all the options for finding buyers at once, or stop at one. In any case, do not spray, study each one in sequence and only then apply them.

Step 9. Procurement and testing of goods

Be sure to check the quality of the product. Nobody needs cheap fakes now. If you start selling third-rate products, it will kill your business in the bud. Reputation in business circles is expensive.

If, according to some criteria, the product does not satisfy you, it is better to refuse the transaction, despite the low prices or favorable delivery conditions. An honest name is more valuable than momentary profit.

Step 10. Launching a business

The decisive moment is the start of sales.

Don't rush things: if you have done the preliminary work and chosen a niche, the result will definitely be.

To work in the dropshipping system, it makes no sense to legally formalize your activities. Start thinking about this as your turnover grows and your customer base grows.

And remember - commercial success favors the brave. Don't let failure discourage you. In commerce, local failures are inevitable, followed by a rise.

How to understand which products can now “rise” in resale

Demand changes every year and every season. To understand what the buyer needs, the same Wordstat.yandex service, which I already mentioned, will help.

But there are universal human needs that are more or less permanent. A competent choice of a niche for trade is the most important condition for a successful business.

We have prepared for you a list of the most profitable Made in China products:

Gastronomic disposable trifle. The mark-up for such goods purchased in bulk is from 200 to 500%. Disposable tableware, plastic cups, hygiene products, clothespins, ropes and other small things that are always needed.
Cloth. In China, they have long learned to make high-quality clothes for people of all ages. It looks aesthetically pleasing and is cheap. And the demand for it is constant.
Shoes. In China, there are entire markets that sell only shoes. Choose such a product depending on the season.
Accessories– women's handbags, wallets, umbrellas, belts.
Mobile devices– smartphones, iPhones.
Cases for them and other accessories.
Chinese electronics (branded). In terms of quality, Chinese computers, camcorders, and cameras are inferior to South Korean and Japanese ones, but the difference is no longer as noticeable as it was 15-20 years ago.
Electronic gadgets- video recorders, navigators, devices for computer games.
Food products (bulk) with a long shelf life- teas, dried fruits, nuts.
Auto accessories. Brushes, air fresheners, stickers, steering wheel covers.
Furniture. Oddly enough, furniture in China is made of high quality. At the same time, even with delivery, it will cost you less than domestic, and even more so, Western manufacturers.
Household appliances and household goods.
Toys. In China, inexpensive analogues of all successful brands are made. For example, Lego-type construction sets are ten times cheaper, and children like them no less than branded ones.
Special equipment. An option for serious businessmen, since the price for such a product is, by definition, higher than for gastronomic trifles. Tractors, trailers, cranes, other construction and industrial equipment from China are inferior to European counterparts, but for several years such equipment has been working properly.
Industrial machines. In the conditions of the economic blockade, this is a promising niche - the wear and tear of equipment and spare parts for it is inevitable. Chinese analogues of European models will cost dozens of times cheaper.

This is not a complete list of popular products. It is in your power to find your niche and promote it on the Web or in your city.

7 golden tips for a beginner from an expert on business with China - Evgeny Guryev

If BSC is so profitable, why is it that not everyone succeeds in trading successfully? The reason is not high competition and not interference from the state. No one is stopping you personally from launching successful project for the sale of goods from the Middle Kingdom.

The main problem in the specifics of the business is that without knowing the nuances and details, you will miss out on profits.

Some useful tips for those who decide to try their hand at the BSC niche:

Always check suppliers before doing business with them.
Learn! Books, trainings, courses, business clubs. Not less than 10% from profit It is recommended to invest in yourself through training.
Take care of the client - he must be sure that he receives a quality product. Test the samples yourself - do not trust the photos and the seller's assurances.
Bargain with the Chinese as if your life depended on it. You will get favorable conditions and outperform competitors if you discard the constraint when discussing the terms of the transaction.
Conclude official contracts and test product samples personally.
The first sales should be made on those products that are already on the market. It will be much easier for a novice entrepreneur without experience and resources to earn the first money than climbing where there is “no competition”.
Expand your range. It is much easier to earn a couple of millions on 10 products than on one. Try to work without intermediaries and unnecessary steps - they take both money and time.

And a few more chips from me in video format:

conclusions

So, business with China is still a promising and profitable commercial idea. To get the maximum profit from trading, it is enough to organize the process competently, find a reliable supplier and work with him directly, without intermediaries.

Doing business with China is a trendy entrepreneurial endeavor recent years. Hundreds of people have earned millions by making purchases in China and selling them in the cities of our country.

A variety of goods from children's clothing to modern smartphones allows anyone to open a business, regardless of hobbies. And their low cost guarantees a minimum initial investment.

Despite the huge number of points where you can buy goods from the eastern country, the competition in this niche is still low. So, it's not too late to join the race.

Today we will look at what steps you need to take to organize your business on goods from China.

I want to start a business without investments - is it real?

It will not be possible to do without costs: at least it will be needed. It will cost 20-30 thousand rubles.

Although at first, a group in a social network can take on its role.

Step number 2. How much do you need to invest?

We have considered 4 business models, how much should be invested in each of them for implementation?

Dropshipping

The last three of them require investments, in addition to the purchase of goods. Therefore, if there is no money that can be invested in the business, then the choice is limited to dropshipping.

In this case, funds will be required to purchase the first batch of goods.

In addition, dropshipping attracts with minimal risks. We buy the goods, immediately after the order and send.

The only way to lose money is to refuse the goods, but this can be avoided if at least some prepayment is used.

In general, it is for these two reasons that novice businessmen choose this method.

Wholesale purchases

Of course, in this case, you first need to spend the money, and only then get it back. The advantage of the "Wholesale purchase and resale" method is the ability to immediately transfer the goods to the buyer. IN modern world where everything is done very quickly, this is extremely important. And it is often better to save up and immediately order a large batch than to look for months for a client who is ready not only to purchase goods from you, but also to patiently wait for their delivery.

Own store

Well, if you have 500 thousand rubles or more, feel free to open your online store. Compared to the "Buy and Sell" scheme, only the development of the website is added.

Of course, you will have to spend a decent amount of money, but this is a one-time waste - then you only need to maintain its performance, which you can easily handle on your own.

A beautiful image of the product and the very fact that it is sold in a store (albeit via the Internet) will attract buyers. Immediately there will be a circle of regular customers who are ready to pay money for goods from China.

Step number 3. What to sell?

So far, we have ignored the most common question for beginners - "What to sell to make a profit?".

There is no single answer to this question. Chinese-made goods are sold with a bang, and no matter which ones - children's clothing, smartphone cases and cool souvenirs are in demand. This is the beauty of business with China: what to sell is not so important - everything is sold.

However, if you are just starting your business, it is better not to reinvent the wheel and concentrate on selling really popular products.

It is not difficult to understand which Chinese goods are promising in terms of their resale in Russia.

Look at Yandex. Wordstate, what categories of products are most often searched by users and select popular
Study the product market: it is better to open a business where there is less competition
View product reviews of suppliers you want to work with. If they supply poor quality products, customers will not only leave, but will tell everyone they know about it
Choose the group of goods about which you know more than about the rest. The better the seller knows what he is selling, the more customers will buy from him.

If you don’t understand anything that is popular today, it doesn’t matter - the main thing is not the availability of knowledge, but the desire to get it. Read articles on the Internet, ask your friends (for sure there is at least someone who knows the subject well), order the product yourself and use it for 1-2 months - you will form a very good idea of the subject. You don’t need to bother too much either: you will not be selling cars or space rockets - a story about a product for 1-2 minutes is enough.

Once you find your niche, you can order. Start by ordering a trial batch, some sellers have this option. Of course, you will spend 1-1.5 months, but you will insure yourself against the risk of buying a bunch of low-quality products and losing a significant amount.

Step number 4. Search for partners in China

No less popular among active entrepreneurs who want to learn how to establish business with China from scratch is the question of partners.

The type of seller you will cooperate with depends on the chosen business scheme. For example, dropshippers can work with middlemen from China - people or companies that buy goods from the manufacturer and then resell them to foreigners. For online stores and businessmen who prefer large wholesale, direct contacts with the manufacturer are suitable - this way the cost of purchasing products will be significantly reduced.

In our age of high technology, no one travels to China to find a supplier and sign an agreement with him - everything is done via the Internet. You can work on your own or turn to companies that help newcomers establish business with China. Their employees will tell you what mistakes you might encounter, how to avoid them, and how to grow your business faster.

If you are not planning a large wholesale, but limiting yourself to a medium one, take a look at TaoBao, Aliexpress, TMart, Dinodirect or AliBaba - usually these Chinese sites have the lowest prices for goods, and even the biggest one will envy their assortment. shopping mall peace.

Each platform has its pros and cons. To make it convenient for you, I have brought them into a single comparative table.

№	Name	Peculiarities	Advantages	Flaws
1	Taobao	The largest retail site in the world	The number of presented goods - more than 750 million
2	aliexpress	The most popular site among Russian customers, specializes in retail	Protection of the rights of the client - if something goes wrong, the money can be returned	Increased prices
3	TMart		Actively cooperates with dropshippers	There is no version of the site in Russian
4	Ali Baba	Cooperation with customers who are ready to purchase goods in large and medium wholesale	Low prices (2-3 times less than competitors)	It is not possible to buy goods at retail
5	DinoDirect	More product range than other sites	Convenient website translated into Russian	Prices are higher than competitors

An obligatory stage of working with a Chinese web resource is registration. You will need not only to enter your full name and contact details, but also the details of the payment card. They will be required so as not to waste time when paying for the goods.

If the site offers better prices than competitors, but the site is not translated into Russian, you should not despair. It is not necessary to learn Chinese: just use the Google website translator. For correspondence with Chinese partners, use the same technique. Manufacturers and sellers from the Middle Kingdom prefer to use in correspondence English language, so there will be no problems with the quality of the translation.

Step number 5. Checking a partner

Chinese organizations are not distinguished by punctuality and conscientiousness: to deceive a Russian partner is a common thing for them. Therefore, here are some tips that will help you find a reliable counterparty.

Always read reviews about doing business with China. The Internet is full of sites with responses from successful (or unsuccessful) businessmen.
Try to extract as many documents as possible from the potential supplier. Ask him for information about customer recommendations: if there are any, the Chinese company will definitely provide them.
When signing a contract for the supply of goods, be sure to include in the agreement clauses on payment for the goods after delivery and the ability to withdraw from the document if the other party suddenly wants to change it. If the supplier does not agree to such conditions, this is the first signal of his dishonesty. Chinese suppliers, aiming for long-term cooperation, always agree not to the requirements of customers - keep this in mind when you enter into an agreement.

Checking a partner is one of the most important stages of organizing a business. With its help, you will get rid of a whole range of such problems:

One-day companies. There are organizations that have a beautiful website, where all the benefits of cooperation are colorfully described. Only the wrapper does not match the content: after receiving the money, these companies stop communicating. In order not to "run into" a one-day company, do not transfer money before the delivery of the goods. Reliable Chinese suppliers are well aware of the buyer's risk and will not insist on prepayment.
Low product quality. D Even today, the quality of goods made in China often leaves much to be desired. Sometimes the buyer receives such products, which then it is simply embarrassing to sell. To avoid this, write down the minimum requirements for product quality in the agreement. If they are not met, the supplier will not receive the money, and even pay a fine.

check how long the supplier's website has existed: if it is registered a month ago or less, it is better to choose another company
study the coordinates: reliable organizations write everything about their location, up to the office number
check on which domain the company's corporate mail is registered: if there is no mail service on the seller's website, then the organization is dubious
read the details for payment: it is important that these are the accounts of the company, and not those who work in it
look at all language versions of the site: if the web resource is only in English, then it was made by scammers (real Chinese companies, which is logical, must have a translation into Chinese)
check all lists of fraudulent organizations - they are on the Internet upon request
request documents regulating the activities of the company
ask a potential partner to arrange a visit to the production of goods: if the reaction is sharply negative, you probably contacted scammers

China has its own trade department - the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Its web resource publishes information about all companies operating in China. If you have a friend who knows Chinese well, then he will tell you everything about a potential partner, devoting only 5-7 minutes to the website of the department.

Step number 6. Checking the terms of delivery of products

Usually, suppliers place information about the order and delivery of their goods in a separate section of the site. It indicates the prices for the supply of different batches of products and the nuances of customs clearance.

Entrepreneurs who have chosen small wholesale do not have to think about border control - it will pass without problems. But with larger batches, you will have to sweat: all documents must be in order, otherwise products will not be released outside of China.

Step number 7. Finding clients

The goods should not be stale for a long time - this will not bring profit. Ideally, you need to set up processes so that products are sold before they are delivered. But this cannot be achieved right away. This means that you will have to try different sales methods.

For entrepreneurs who decide to start a business with China, I recommend the following:

Landings

Landing - "landing" page: on it, customers leave their contact information. This is a one-page, bright site, where all the benefits of the offer are presented and there is a form for collecting data. Interested visitors enter their phone numbers and email addresses, which are then contacted.

It is difficult to develop a landing page from scratch, and the result, most likely, will not live up to expectations. It is better to order a “landing” page from freelancers. The cost is 7-10 thousand rubles, which is quite a bit compared to future profit.

Groups in social networks

Many firms that are successfully engaged in trade have been promoted precisely in social networks.

The functionality of groups on sites where people communicate with each other is ideal for resale. You can create multiple communities for different audiences. The language of communication is simple: you don’t have to describe the benefits of the product officially and beautifully. In addition, social network users are very easy to convince to buy a product in the process of personal communication.

I wrote about how to promote my group in this article: "".

Ad aggregators

Sites that collect ads for the sale and purchase of goods are the third category of web resources that you should definitely pay attention to.

A classic example of such a portal is Avito.ru. Every day, 7 million visitors come here. The last time I posted an ad here, 500 people viewed it in a day, and the next day a buyer was found.

From personal experience, I will say that among my friends there are people who earn money by selling goods from China on Avito.

Step number 8. Testing the product

Be sure to demand trial batches from sellers - the risk of running into outright counterfeit is too great. As soon as the probes are received, they need to be tested.

How exactly to check the product depends on its type. For example, toys should be made of more or less high-quality plastic that does not stink or stain everything it touches. And the clothes should correspond to the specified size (many Chinese firms are very small) and not tear after two or three socks.

Be sure to check all the functions of the product (if it is, for example, a phone). If something does not work, do not contact the seller again: you cannot count on the fact that the defect is a single one. Remember that the success of a business depends on the quality of the product. And it’s better to spend time looking for a good supplier than to lose customers before you open up.

What is in demand?

Business with China has existed for a long time, and all businessmen know what to trade.

Clothes, shoes

Even on one Aliexpress, you can dress the whole family, while on other sites there is more choice. Chinese clothes today look good, more or less true to size and keep well for 2-3 seasons. Considering its price, the characteristics are not bad.

Car Gadgets

Even in an economy class car, you can see navigators and video recorders. They were bought most often from those who are engaged in deliveries from China - the quality of the products is the same, and the prices are lower.

The number of cars is growing, which means that the number of customers willing to buy various technical innovations will only increase.

Smartphones, tablets

Russian stores sell a bunch of phones made in China, with a markup of 200-300%. When ordering such equipment in China, you can save. True, not everyone is ready to wait 1-2 months and contact Chinese suppliers.

By ordering new items in advance, you will get a chance to quickly sell your equipment at a good margin and get instant profit.

Smartphone cases

The same story as with smartphones - the margin for peripherals in Russian stores sometimes reaches 500-1000%! The advantage of the smartphone trade is that often customers are not limited to one or two cases, but buy 5-7 pieces at once.

Disposable plastic products

The household always needs disposable utensils, hygiene products, kitchen utensils. All this is sold in stores, but ordering from China is cheaper.

Having in reserve several dozen toothbrushes, sets of disposable cups and saucers, towels, you can sell them to customers and make good money. As with cases, in 50% or more cases, buyers purchase several products at once.

Toys

Chinese toys are still of low quality, but is it necessary for a child who will break them anyway?

Parents are well aware of this and are looking for “educators” not in branded stores, but from suppliers from China. Having toys for boys and girls in your assortment, you guarantee yourself customers even in times of crisis.

Big business with China - bulk purchases

After reading the article, decided to open your own online store? Then you will need to order large quantities of goods - in small wholesale point of sale not live.

This case has its own nuances. In order for everything to be according to the law and pass without problems, follow the following sequence of actions:

purchase of goods only from a supplier capable of providing certificates and invoices (the price in this case will be higher)
passing customs procedures with payment of duties
obtaining certificates of conformity (fortunately, this does not apply to all categories of goods).

Chinese goods enter Russia either via railway or by trucks. The latter option is more expensive, but much faster: 2-4 weeks versus several months. You can also order delivery by air, but then you have to put a price tag on the product 3-4 times higher than that of competitors.

Delivery considerations

The cost of goods purchased in China can be indicated in two options - EXW and FOB. What is the difference?

FOB - the price of the goods already includes its delivery to Shanghai (Chinese sorting center, all shipments are distributed here) and the execution of the necessary papers. The cost of delivery in this case is equal to the delivery to the place where your business is opened.
If the abbreviation EXW is indicated in the “Price” column, then the seller does not deliver it, but sells products directly from the factory. In this case, all transportation costs will be borne by you. Usually, the EXW price is lower than the FOB price, since only direct manufacturers of products put such a price.

In order for a product to leave China, it must be accompanied by an export license. Without this paper, you and your products will not be released outside the PRC. Be sure to ask the supplier if there is a license to export products or not. Otherwise, you will have to look for a client in China (without knowing the language, this is unrealistic) or say goodbye to the money spent.

Business with China is a profitable business. But why do so few people do it?

Many people think that business is hindered by intense competition, tight government control and a bad economic environment. But this is not so at all: there are so many Chinese goods that, perhaps, everyone can sell them; the state intervenes in the process only at customs; and the fall in incomes of the population, on the contrary, only stimulates to pay attention to goods from China.

But still, there are factors that make doing business with Chinese companies much more difficult. And you need to know about them before starting your own business.

To become a successful merchant of goods from the Middle Kingdom, you must:

correctly assess how profitable it is to import and sell a particular product
quickly calculate how much the goods will cost you
successfully negotiate, forcing partners to accept your point of view and at the same time understanding when to give in
master the skills of a marketer and actively promote the product on various platforms

Strive to set up processes so that they run autonomously. In this case, you will be able to control them, quickly make changes and free up time for new projects.

What can be wrong?

Whatever they say, doing business with Chinese suppliers is a tough business. Many successful entrepreneurs at one time filled the bumps and now do not make the mistakes that cost them their profits.

These mistakes are known, and it would be foolish not to study and remember them.

Lack of purpose. Many do not have an understanding of what the business will become - just a hobby or a full-time income. Because of this, the attitude to the matter is lax, and there are no results.
Fear of failure. Do not be afraid to try: it will not work once, it will not work twice, the third time everything will turn out well. Fear is not a reason not to open your business with China if everything else (contacts with suppliers, customers, money) is already there.
Obsession with money. Many pay too much attention to start-up capital - or rather, its absence. If you don’t have it, go into dropshipping - you don’t need money for it at all. Earn, you can do more profitable business.
Unwillingness to learn new things. Perhaps the most important mistake that prevents not only starting a business with China, but also living in principle. Get ready for unusual things interesting features doing business by the Chinese. If you wish, you can understand everything and adapt to everything, and very successfully.

How to work with suppliers?

The fate of the business depends on the reliability of your partner - you can’t cook porridge with a bad seller. I suggest once again to go over the rules for working with suppliers.

This list can be printed separately and hung in a prominent place: this way the information will be remembered faster.

Trust, but verify: the activities of Chinese companies always need to be controlled.
Officiality is above all: if you plan to buy something from a seller, be sure to draw up and sign a document.
The client will only buy a quality product: test samples and reject them if they do not meet the previously agreed requirements.
The best contact is in person: you need to talk with the seller directly, without unnecessary intermediaries.
Fix in the agreements the procedure for the delivery of defective products.
Keep an eye on the market: perhaps right now another supplier is offering better conditions than the one you are cooperating with now.
Evaluate all the activities of the partner: not only the quality of the goods and the speed of delivery are important, but also the service.

Where to learn?

In the article, I already said that the success of the case depends on who you will learn and consult with. Therefore, it is important to choose the right mentor to save money and time.

I myself have been studying this topic for over a year, attending various paid webinars and courses. As a result, I came to the conclusion that 90% of teachers are not competent and do not even have personal experience.

As a result, I decided to sign up for a free marathon, authored by Evgeny Guryev. For me it was a discovery - the most useful information from a practitioner who earns millions of rubles. I concluded for myself that this is the best coach on the Russian-speaking Internet: no water, only working equipment.

Just watch this video, in which one of his students talks about his results:

Conclusion

Business with China is not a goldmine, but an idea that can bring good profits. Goods from this country are in stable demand, which is weakly dependent on conditions in the economy.

You can work with Chinese suppliers without investing your own funds: the talent of the seller and the client base are enough. In general, you can work with companies from the Middle Kingdom with any wallet: for those who are not ready to invest, dropshipping is suitable, for those who wish, an online store is a good option.

A successful business with China cannot be built if you do not go through all the steps of its creation. Act in stages and do not run ahead of the locomotive: a quick victory can be replaced by a total fiasco.

Try not to make mistakes in your business: of course, you can’t insure yourself from this, but you can reduce their negative impact. The tips, which I described in detail in one of the sections, will help.

This concludes the manual for creating a business with China. If you have any questions about the topic of the article, be sure to write in the comments. We also welcome the opinions of those who have already tried to resell products from the Middle Kingdom: personal experience will make the material better and reveal important nuances.

See you soon on the blog pages!

I have changed, am changing and will change my life for the better.

10-15 years ago, Chinese goods were not of high quality - it was the cheapest disposable consumer goods. Today the situation has changed radically - modern products from China are no different in quality from well-known European and American brands, despite the fact that their prices are 2-3 times cheaper. That is why the business of selling goods from China is profitable and promising: you will sell quality items at a competitive price and will be able to quickly occupy local markets.

How to work

There are several schemes by which you can do business:

Dropshipping. This method allows you to start earning without investments, so it is ideal for beginner businessmen. The principle of dropshipping is simple - you find people who need a product, get paid for it, and place an order with the manufacturer. The manufacturer sends the product to the customer, and you get your commission. Its size can be different - on expensive goods it is usually 25-35%, on cheap ones - 200-500%. The only drawback of such a business is that the client has to wait a couple of weeks until the goods arrive by mail.
Joint purchases. This business is well developed in thematic groups or communities. The main idea of this scheme is to reduce the price of wholesale purchases. A simple example is a manufacturer sells sneakers for $30 a pair, while a retailer puts them in stores for 60. The manufacturer does not deal with single orders - he has a minimum release lot of 10 pairs. Your task is to gather 10 people and receive a certain percentage from them for their activities (usually 20%). Additionally, your group will save on shipping - its cost will be divided into 10 parts.
Wholesale trade. The principle of trade is similar to classic dropshipping, but with one amendment - goods are sold in bulk. Many shops will gladly buy goods at a low price with a little delay - you just need to organize the scheme of work correctly.
Creating your own online store or platform. To do this, you either need to understand information technology, or hire a person who will make you a website. It will bring a steady income if you offer customers low prices, quality service and a good assortment. You can work according to this scheme both in the classical way (by purchasing goods and selling them from a warehouse), and by dropshipping, warning people that delivery will take some time.

Business with China will bring you good profits with the right approach

Earning without investment

How to properly organize a business with China for resale without investments, so as not to burn out and reach a more or less stable income? It's simple - work according to the first scheme (dropshipping). Choose a specific type of product that you are going to sell, find thematic groups on social networks and forums to study the need for it, find a good supplier, explain to him that you want to work on the dropshipping principle, and start earning.

Note: parcels worth up to 1000 euros are tax-free and do not require “customs clearance”, so you can safely work with most types of goods. If your parcel costs more than 1000 euros, you can always ask the supplier to lower the price for a hassle-free customs clearance.

Another good sales option is to create a one-page website. This site will have a selling page with a description of the product and reviews about it - you can create it yourself according to the template. Such sites sell goods well and require minimal investment.

Where to start as an inexperienced businessman? Eleven consecutive steps will tell you what to do.

1st step - learn business models

There are several ways to sell goods. You can combine them or use only one, which is more suitable for you.

1. Dropshipping. This is an option for a business without investment. The bottom line is that you become an intermediary and get a percentage of it. Buyers place an order with you, you send the request to the supplier, and he sends the parcel to the client's address.
