00:01:56 | 00:02:00 | something that you can actually sell |
00:01:58 | 00:02:02 | right this is one of the driving factors |
00:02:00 | 00:02:03 | why we were able to sell our businesses |
00:02:02 | 00:02:06 | guys if you don't brand your business |
00:02:03 | 00:02:08 | it's not worth as much okay because you |
00:02:06 | 00:02:11 | don't really have a loyal customer |
00:02:08 | 00:02:13 | following okay but if you come out brand |
00:02:11 | 00:02:14 | right and you do decide you want to sell |
00:02:13 | 00:02:15 | your business you're gonna get a lot |
00:02:14 | 00:02:17 | more money for it so this is for those |
00:02:15 | 00:02:19 | of you currently sourcing and shipping |
00:02:17 | 00:02:21 | directly from your customers from China |
00:02:19 | 00:02:25 | to the States this is absolutely for |
00:02:21 | 00:02:26 | those of you so before we start I really |
00:02:25 | 00:02:28 | want to tok about a few points guys |
00:02:26 | 00:02:31 | those of you that are song on Aliexpress |
00:02:28 | 00:02:34 | drop shipping the goal is to find those |
00:02:31 | 00:02:36 | winning products those winning offers |
00:02:34 | 00:02:40 | those winning physical goods right and |
00:02:36 | 00:02:42 | use those as our like testing bed right |
00:02:40 | 00:02:44 | so with me I like to keep drop shipping |
00:02:42 | 00:02:46 | super simple right honestly to hit seven |
00:02:44 | 00:02:47 | figures all you need is good for product |
00:02:46 | 00:02:49 | funnels if you don't know if funnels are |
00:02:47 | 00:02:51 | or sales funnels or how to use them for |
00:02:49 | 00:02:53 | e-commerce check out that training down |
00:02:51 | 00:02:54 | in the description below guys I promise |
00:02:53 | 00:02:56 | you it'll be the best hour you spent |
00:02:54 | 00:02:57 | watching that training class or open |
00:02:56 | 00:02:58 | your mind to how much money you can make |
00:02:57 | 00:03:01 | with these sales funnels instead of a |
00:02:58 | 00:03:03 | Shopify store or an Amazon FBA business |
00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | but the goal is to find the winning |
00:03:03 | 00:03:07 | products for that you're selling on |
00:03:05 | 00:03:08 | Aliexpress so for example if you're |
00:03:07 | 00:03:10 | selling fishing lures right and you're |
00:03:08 | 00:03:11 | fishing learners been selling really |
00:03:10 | 00:03:13 | well right and you're selling about five |
00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | hundred plus units a month and if that |
00:03:13 | 00:03:16 | sounds like you and you're selling about |
00:03:14 | 00:03:18 | five hundred units off from Aliexpress I |
00:03:16 | 00:03:20 | highly encourage you to really pay |
00:03:18 | 00:03:21 | attention to this video because this is |
00:03:20 | 00:03:24 | especially for those of you that are |
00:03:21 | 00:03:25 | selling already some with some good |
00:03:24 | 00:03:26 | inventory right you're selling about |
00:03:25 | 00:03:28 | five hundred units plus a month you |
00:03:26 | 00:03:30 | absolutely need to be thinking about |
00:03:28 | 00:03:32 | branding that product bringing it over |
00:03:30 | 00:03:35 | to the States |
00:03:32 | 00:03:37 | okay now the key here is guys make sure |
00:03:35 | 00:03:38 | whatever niche you do this for you plan |
00:03:37 | 00:03:40 | to be with for the long term |
00:03:38 | 00:03:41 | a lot of dropshippers especially a lot |
00:03:40 | 00:03:42 | of Aliexpress dropshippers they don't |
00:03:41 | 00:03:44 | care about their customers they don't |
00:03:42 | 00:03:46 | care about their niche they really are |
00:03:44 | 00:03:47 | just out there to make some extra money |
00:03:46 | 00:03:49 | for themselves now don't get me wrong |
00:03:47 | 00:03:51 | money is awesome but I'd love to have |
00:03:49 | 00:03:52 | win-win situations I want to create a |
00:03:51 | 00:03:55 | business that I love and that my |
00:03:52 | 00:03:57 | customers love to be customers of ok so |
00:03:55 | 00:03:59 | that's really important guys is when you |
00:03:57 | 00:04:01 | start branding your own products it |
00:03:59 | 00:04:03 | becomes much more important itch that |
00:04:01 | 00:04:05 | you pick and understand that it's a long |
00:04:03 | 00:04:07 | term play it's not something that is |
00:04:05 | 00:04:09 | gonna be your in and out up okay so |
00:04:07 | 00:04:11 | really understand that before you start |
00:04:09 | 00:04:13 | spending all this money to brand your |
00:04:11 | 00:04:15 | products make sure the niche that you're |
00:04:13 | 00:04:16 | in is something you want to build a |
00:04:15 | 00:04:17 | business in okay and you should be |
00:04:16 | 00:04:19 | thinking about that like from day one |
00:04:17 | 00:04:20 | when you start in business but I just |
00:04:19 | 00:04:23 | want to mention that here again and |
00:04:20 | 00:04:25 | budget appropriately okay branding |
00:04:23 | 00:04:28 | products isn't cheap |
00:04:25 | 00:04:30 | okay you can't just go to to you know to |
00:04:28 | 00:04:32 | a supplier or a manufacturer but okay I |
00:04:30 | 00:04:35 | want ten units with branded products |
00:04:32 | 00:04:36 | most of them won't even do it but those |
00:04:35 | 00:04:39 | that would they'll charge you an offer |
00:04:36 | 00:04:41 | for tchen to brand those products with |
00:04:39 | 00:04:42 | your own brand so the strategy really is |
00:04:41 | 00:04:46 | and this is what I teach my students in |
00:04:42 | 00:04:49 | our programs is go start with Aliexpress |
00:04:46 | 00:04:50 | start with amazon drop shipping start |
00:04:49 | 00:04:51 | with any other supplier that you can |
00:04:50 | 00:04:54 | find online where you don't have to risk |
00:04:51 | 00:04:56 | a lot of money of your own money out of |
00:04:54 | 00:04:59 | your pocket right build the business |
00:04:56 | 00:05:01 | start generating cash flow and then you |
00:04:59 | 00:05:03 | brand okay and you pick one at a time a |
00:05:01 | 00:05:05 | lot of people are gonna go and try and |
00:05:03 | 00:05:07 | do like five products at a time no just |
00:05:05 | 00:05:10 | one at a time guys that right keep it |
00:05:07 | 00:05:11 | simple one at a time and you don't need |
00:05:10 | 00:05:13 | hundreds of products in your store or |
00:05:11 | 00:05:16 | funnels guys by no means really all you |
00:05:13 | 00:05:18 | need like I said is for products like |
00:05:16 | 00:05:19 | for physical products to make us a hit a |
00:05:18 | 00:05:20 | seven-figure business you don't need any |
00:05:19 | 00:05:22 | more than that and you don't want to |
00:05:20 | 00:05:24 | complicate this more than you have to |
00:05:22 | 00:05:26 | okay so make sure you budget |
00:05:24 | 00:05:29 | appropriately now some branding basics |

00:05:52 | 00:05:56 | write and build a brand around that okay |
00:05:55 | 00:05:58 | I'm not in the game of competing with |
00:05:56 | 00:06:00 | Amazon or Walmart by any means but feel |
00:05:58 | 00:06:03 | free keep doing you but as far as |
00:06:00 | 00:06:06 | branding is you want to make sure that |
00:06:03 | 00:06:08 | you have a good logo now a logo you you |
00:06:06 | 00:06:09 | it's not as important as people think |
00:06:08 | 00:06:10 | but when you put it on a piece of |
00:06:09 | 00:06:12 | packaging you want to make sure it looks |
00:06:10 | 00:06:14 | good okay so if you're if you're a |
00:06:12 | 00:06:15 | current logo you're like I kind of like |
00:06:14 | 00:06:17 | it I don't know like you want to make |
00:06:15 | 00:06:20 | sure that customer experience is good |
00:06:17 | 00:06:23 | and the logo is a nice logo right not |
00:06:20 | 00:06:25 | too convoluted not too too and not too |
00:06:23 | 00:06:28 | not too plain and dry you know what I |
00:06:25 | 00:06:29 | mean so some great places to go look for |
00:06:28 | 00:06:31 | a good logo design if they and this |
00:06:29 | 00:06:32 | might be a good time to rebrand right to |
00:06:31 | 00:06:35 | create a new logo for your business if |
00:06:32 | 00:06:37 | you currently have one already is 99 |
00:06:35 | 00:06:39 | designs is a great place and it |
00:06:37 | 00:06:41 | a little bit more expensive but you're |
00:06:39 | 00:06:43 | gonna be able to rank the different |
00:06:41 | 00:06:45 | kinds of suppliers or the different the |
00:06:43 | 00:06:47 | different kinds of artists that create |
00:06:45 | 00:06:49 | you logos and then you pay for the one |
00:06:47 | 00:06:50 | you pick right so it's a little bit more |
00:06:49 | 00:06:51 | expensive but the quality of work is |
00:06:50 | 00:06:53 | tremendously higher especially we're |
00:06:51 | 00:06:54 | gonna be branding this this logo on |
00:06:53 | 00:06:56 | different products that you're gonna |
00:06:54 | 00:06:58 | source from manufacturers it's well |
00:06:56 | 00:07:00 | worth the money in my book especially by |
00:06:58 | 00:07:01 | this point you should be generating cash |
00:07:00 | 00:07:02 | flow if you're thinking about Brit |
00:07:01 | 00:07:04 | private label branding you should be |
00:07:02 | 00:07:05 | generating cash flow in your business |
00:07:04 | 00:07:08 | you should already have close to a |
00:07:05 | 00:07:10 | six-figure business if not towards that |
00:07:08 | 00:07:12 | mid six-figure business before you start |
00:07:10 | 00:07:13 | branding these own products but at least |
00:07:12 | 00:07:15 | six figures okay |
00:07:13 | 00:07:16 | the cool thing about branding guys is |
00:07:15 | 00:07:18 | this is where the fun begins like this |
00:07:16 | 00:07:20 | is what I love about business so I drop |
00:07:18 | 00:07:22 | drop shipping and Aliexpress is cool |
00:07:20 | 00:07:22 | alright there's a lot of cons with it |
00:07:22 | 00:07:24 | though |
00:07:22 | 00:07:26 | but the real I mean you really get the |
00:07:24 | 00:07:28 | shine when you start creating a real |
00:07:26 | 00:07:30 | brand for your business guys I can't |
00:07:28 | 00:07:32 | tell you right custom packaging it's |
00:07:30 | 00:07:34 | different kinds of insert cards for your |
00:07:32 | 00:07:37 | businesses putting your brand story on |
00:07:34 | 00:07:39 | your packaging and really controlling |
00:07:37 | 00:07:41 | the customer experience when they get |
00:07:39 | 00:07:43 | the product in your hands okay now what |
00:07:41 | 00:07:45 | you lose that with Aliexpress right they |
00:07:43 | 00:07:47 | just gonna ran up a piece of package and |
00:07:45 | 00:07:48 | the mail and it's just like okay alright |
00:07:47 | 00:07:49 | there's no customer experience right and |

00:08:28 | 00:08:33 | like a Shark Tank product idea to be |
00:08:31 | 00:08:36 | successful in e-commerce by no means but |
00:08:33 | 00:08:38 | what's really cool with with uh with |
00:08:36 | 00:08:39 | when you start with sourcing your own |
00:08:38 | 00:08:41 | products you can like change things |
00:08:39 | 00:08:43 | about the product guys right like this |
00:08:41 | 00:08:46 | is where you can create like your own |
00:08:43 | 00:08:48 | unique product so for example if you |
00:08:46 | 00:08:49 | have a product that is a fishing lure |
00:08:48 | 00:08:50 | but you want like different hooks on it |
00:08:49 | 00:08:52 | or you |
00:08:50 | 00:08:54 | to be a different color right you can |
00:08:52 | 00:08:55 | actually have your supplier do that |
00:08:54 | 00:08:57 | right and the nice thing about the |
00:08:55 | 00:08:59 | suppliers is they have catalogs upon |
00:08:57 | 00:09:01 | catalogs of products that you can now |
00:08:59 | 00:09:03 | choose from that you can't even dropship |
00:09:01 | 00:09:05 | from Aliexpress like I love looking |
00:09:03 | 00:09:06 | through my supplier catalogs and they |
00:09:05 | 00:09:08 | send me products that aren't even on the |
00:09:06 | 00:09:09 | market you can't even find these things |
00:09:08 | 00:09:11 | right so it's kind of like a little |
00:09:09 | 00:09:13 | secret as you kind of build your |
00:09:11 | 00:09:15 | relationship your long-term relationship |
00:09:13 | 00:09:16 | with your supplier and this is where the |

00:10:11 | 00:10:14 | about trends and stuff like when you |
00:10:13 | 00:10:16 | could start the trend like you can like |
00:10:14 | 00:10:18 | I remember when we did this with our |
00:10:16 | 00:10:21 | fishing businesses we had Intel about |
00:10:18 | 00:10:23 | one product and it's sold like crazy I |
00:10:21 | 00:10:27 | think we're doing 25,000 dollars a week |
00:10:23 | 00:10:29 | on one product one product and this |
00:10:27 | 00:10:31 | product guys right you couldn't get it |
00:10:29 | 00:10:33 | anywhere else right yeah we had the |
00:10:31 | 00:10:34 | Intel because we had a close |
00:10:33 | 00:10:35 | relationship with our supplier and these |
00:10:34 | 00:10:37 | are the kind of things that start |
00:10:35 | 00:10:39 | falling into place as you build this |
00:10:37 | 00:10:40 | business for yourself okay so our |
00:10:39 | 00:10:43 | suppliers right |
00:10:40 | 00:10:45 | Alibaba that is what I mean Alibaba is |
00:10:43 | 00:10:48 | the best place to get suppliers from |
00:10:45 | 00:10:50 | guys so let me bring into view here my |
00:10:48 | 00:10:51 | screen so Alibaba comm I'm sure you guys |
00:10:50 | 00:10:53 | have heard of it believe it or not if |
00:10:51 | 00:10:55 | you if you've never heard of it |
00:10:53 | 00:10:57 | Aliexpress in Alibaba their own about |
00:10:55 | 00:10:59 | the same people guys surprised so what |
00:10:57 | 00:11:00 | happens is a lot of Aliexpress people |
00:10:59 | 00:11:02 | are actually drop shipping you alright a |
00:11:00 | 00:11:03 | lot of people don't know that so what |
00:11:02 | 00:11:05 | these Aliexpress you know so |
00:11:03 | 00:11:07 | flyers and they're not really suppliers |
00:11:05 | 00:11:09 | or more trading companies is there |
00:11:07 | 00:11:12 | actually drop shipping you so say you |
00:11:09 | 00:11:14 | buy a fishing lure for $2 from from |
00:11:12 | 00:11:16 | Aliexpress well they're actually buying |
00:11:14 | 00:11:18 | it in bulk from a supplier on Alibaba |
00:11:16 | 00:11:20 | now it's not always the case like this |
00:11:18 | 00:11:22 | right but most of them are like trading |
00:11:20 | 00:11:25 | companies so they're just getting a |
00:11:22 | 00:11:26 | buying bulk product from Alibaba storing |
00:11:25 | 00:11:30 | it and then shipping it to your |
00:11:26 | 00:11:32 | customers so pricing is so much cheaper |
00:11:30 | 00:11:34 | when you go to Alibaba guys and go |
00:11:32 | 00:11:37 | direct to the manufacturer okay it's so |
00:11:34 | 00:11:41 | critikal so if I wanted to get like fly |
00:11:37 | 00:11:43 | fishing lures you just type it in I mean |
00:11:41 | 00:11:46 | it's so simple all right so you can see |
00:11:43 | 00:11:47 | here right tons of different products |
00:11:46 | 00:11:50 | that are already here right that I can |
00:11:47 | 00:11:52 | go look in and whatnot now here's the |
00:11:50 | 00:11:53 | thing guys is take all of this |
00:11:52 | 00:11:57 | information that you see here price |
00:11:53 | 00:11:59 | minimum order quantities colors all this |
00:11:57 | 00:12:01 | stuff just take it with a grain of salt |
00:11:59 | 00:12:03 | it doesn't matter okay what you should |
00:12:01 | 00:12:05 | care about is the supplier and |
00:12:03 | 00:12:07 | contacting them you want to go to |
00:12:05 | 00:12:09 | contact put in put together a nice |
00:12:07 | 00:12:11 | little email which we're gonna go over |
00:12:09 | 00:12:12 | how to kind of contact these suppliers |
00:12:11 | 00:12:14 | in a moment here but really you want to |
00:12:12 | 00:12:16 | contact them and get them off of Alibaba |
00:12:14 | 00:12:17 | you want to get them on skype you want |
00:12:16 | 00:12:20 | to tok with them you want to get their |
00:12:17 | 00:12:21 | catalogs right it's extremely important |
00:12:20 | 00:12:23 | to get the catalogs |
00:12:21 | 00:12:24 | from your supplier because they're not |
00:12:23 | 00:12:26 | posting everything they have here guys I |
00:12:24 | 00:12:28 | mean these suppliers have literally |
00:12:26 | 00:12:29 | thousands upon thousands if not close to |
00:12:28 | 00:12:32 | a millions of different products that |
00:12:29 | 00:12:34 | they have access to that that you could |
00:12:32 | 00:12:36 | potentially find as your winners okay |
00:12:34 | 00:12:38 | and you can also send them products of |
00:12:36 | 00:12:39 | your winning product right you send them |
00:12:38 | 00:12:41 | your product okay we're looking to get a |
00:12:39 | 00:12:43 | you know we're looking to buy 5,000 |
00:12:41 | 00:12:45 | units of this product we're wondering if |
00:12:43 | 00:12:47 | you could do that with custom packaging |
00:12:45 | 00:12:49 | or logo and maybe make a little tweaks |
00:12:47 | 00:12:51 | to the design of the product right |
00:12:49 | 00:12:53 | that's that's how you do it right now a |
00:12:51 | 00:12:55 | few things about vetting suppliers here |
00:12:53 | 00:12:56 | guys is usually always work with |
00:12:55 | 00:12:59 | suppliers that have been around for more |
00:12:56 | 00:13:02 | than one year I don't really trust |
00:12:59 | 00:13:03 | suppliers that are just like their first |
00:13:02 | 00:13:05 | year in business now there's a bunch of |
00:13:03 | 00:13:06 | filters you can do here you know |
00:13:05 | 00:13:10 | verified supplier which are all nice |
00:13:06 | 00:13:11 | things to have on here just to just to |
00:13:10 | 00:13:13 | ease the fear and you can do buy |
00:13:11 | 00:13:14 | products here and you can find your |
00:13:13 | 00:13:15 | supplier so if I right-click this and |
00:13:14 | 00:13:18 | open that in a new tab |
00:13:15 | 00:13:19 | we'll get taken to our supplier page |
00:13:18 | 00:13:21 | a gold supplier trade insurance right it |
00:13:19 | 00:13:23 | looks like they've been business for |
00:13:21 | 00:13:25 | about a year here which isn't too much |
00:13:23 | 00:13:27 | but you could see here this is where I |
00:13:25 | 00:13:29 | can contact them I email the supplier |
00:13:27 | 00:13:31 | and I message them send them my skype |
00:13:29 | 00:13:33 | information tell them about my business |

00:13:47 | 00:13:52 | product line ok but here it gives you |
00:13:50 | 00:13:54 | some customer information here business |
00:13:52 | 00:13:54 | type make sure it doesn't say trading |
00:13:54 | 00:13:57 | company there |
00:13:54 | 00:13:58 | if it says manufacture , trading company |
00:13:57 | 00:14:00 | that's ok but if it only says trading |
00:13:58 | 00:14:02 | company don't do it that basically means |
00:14:00 | 00:14:04 | in a nutshell they are buying product |
00:14:02 | 00:14:06 | from a supplier that then they're |
00:14:04 | 00:14:07 | selling it to you from that supplier and |
00:14:06 | 00:14:11 | they're taking cut essentially drop |
00:14:07 | 00:14:14 | shipping you okay so really understand |
00:14:11 | 00:14:16 | that as far as picking winning suppliers |
00:14:14 | 00:14:18 | you got to do digging guys there's no |
00:14:16 | 00:14:20 | you no right or wrong like you got to go |
00:14:18 | 00:14:22 | through all of these suppliers for the |
00:14:20 | 00:14:23 | products that potentially interests you |
00:14:22 | 00:14:24 | click into them you can see there's a |
00:14:23 | 00:14:27 | ridiculous amount of them there's |
00:14:24 | 00:14:31 | probably thousands of suppliers on here |
00:14:27 | 00:14:33 | a few other key things is make sure that |
00:14:31 | 00:14:35 | the products they sell are all niche |
00:14:33 | 00:14:36 | specific this is a personal preference |
00:14:35 | 00:14:38 | of mine okay and it might not |
00:14:36 | 00:14:39 | necessarily mean it's for you but I |
00:14:38 | 00:14:41 | don't want to work with supplier that |
00:14:39 | 00:14:43 | song all the tons of crap if I'm gonna |
00:14:41 | 00:14:45 | sell fishing stuff I only want to make |
00:14:43 | 00:14:47 | sure that the supplier I pick only sells |
00:14:45 | 00:14:49 | fishing stuff same thing goes for if I'm |
00:14:47 | 00:14:52 | drop shipping from Aliexpress I want my |
00:14:49 | 00:14:54 | supplier to be be somebody that's only |
00:14:52 | 00:14:55 | specific to that and you can see when I |
00:14:54 | 00:14:57 | go to product categories you know |
00:14:55 | 00:14:58 | they're selling fishing only fishing |
00:14:57 | 00:15:01 | lures it looks like if I do see all |
00:14:58 | 00:15:03 | categories here so they're only really |
00:15:01 | 00:15:05 | selling fishing lures here which is |
00:15:03 | 00:15:07 | fantastik right there their niche |
00:15:05 | 00:15:09 | specific that I can go look through here |
00:15:07 | 00:15:10 | now again you can go look through here |
00:15:09 | 00:15:13 | and all this stuff and see the products |
00:15:10 | 00:15:14 | take screenshots my suggestion is don't |
00:15:13 | 00:15:16 | waste your time contact them |
00:15:14 | 00:15:17 | ask them for a catalogue of your |
00:15:16 | 00:15:19 | products ok it's gonna be a lot easier |
00:15:17 | 00:15:20 | it's more organized not like all day |
00:15:19 | 00:15:22 | like you could see here there's a lot of |
00:15:20 | 00:15:24 | duplicates right the same thing right |
00:15:22 | 00:15:25 | reach out to them tell them what you're |
00:15:24 | 00:15:27 | looking for you already know you have |
00:15:25 | 00:15:28 | your winning product right you need that |
00:15:27 | 00:15:30 | winning product you know what you want |
00:15:28 | 00:15:32 | right so reach out to them |
00:15:30 | 00:15:34 | to send them a picture of your product |
00:15:32 | 00:15:36 | say hey can you make this some of them |
00:15:34 | 00:15:37 | are gonna have it already the mold some |
00:15:36 | 00:15:39 | of them are gonna say they need a custom |
00:15:37 | 00:15:41 | mold that they can't do it go for the |
00:15:39 | 00:15:43 | supplier already can make it alright if |
00:15:41 | 00:15:45 | you have to do a custom mold if that and |
00:15:43 | 00:15:46 | what that means if that means is if you |
00:15:45 | 00:15:48 | for example if you want to sell a |
00:15:46 | 00:15:50 | fishing lure that you sell now Express |
00:15:48 | 00:15:51 | but the supplier doesn't have it right |
00:15:50 | 00:15:52 | they're gonna have to create a mold for |
00:15:51 | 00:15:54 | this product I mean you're gonna have to |
00:15:52 | 00:15:56 | maybe send them this product to very to |
00:15:54 | 00:15:58 | actually make a mold now that's gonna |
00:15:56 | 00:16:00 | cost you up closer to $1,000 so they can |
00:15:58 | 00:16:02 | start making it instead if a supply |
00:16:00 | 00:16:04 | already knows how to make that product |
00:16:02 | 00:16:05 | right they can make small tweaks to it |
00:16:04 | 00:16:07 | for you but it's not gonna cost you an |
00:16:05 | 00:16:08 | extra thousand dollars to make the |
00:16:07 | 00:16:11 | custom mold so again you're gonna have |
00:16:08 | 00:16:12 | to reach out to you know good amount of |
00:16:11 | 00:16:13 | suppliers it's not gonna be like oh the |
00:16:12 | 00:16:15 | first supplier you hit is your winner |
00:16:13 | 00:16:17 | okay definitely do your due diligence |
00:16:15 | 00:16:18 | make sure you're getting the best |
00:16:17 | 00:16:20 | pricing okay and especially if you're |
00:16:18 | 00:16:21 | already selling a product on Aliexpress |
00:16:20 | 00:16:23 | you shouldn't need to pay for a custom |
00:16:21 | 00:16:25 | mold you should be able to find the |
00:16:23 | 00:16:27 | supplier out there and a bunch of them |
00:16:25 | 00:16:30 | that sell that same product and see what |
00:16:27 | 00:16:33 | kind of pricing they give you okay |
00:16:30 | 00:16:36 | now again you want to tok on skype get |

00:17:29 | 00:17:32 | can do better we can do better for you |
00:17:31 | 00:17:34 | right because you've shown it's a |
00:17:32 | 00:17:36 | mutually beneficial long term business |
00:17:34 | 00:17:37 | relationship okay you've run a business |
00:17:36 | 00:17:39 | here guys okay this is are the things |
00:17:37 | 00:17:41 | you have to do and when you reach out to |
00:17:39 | 00:17:44 | them initially to get them off of |
00:17:41 | 00:17:46 | Alibaba to tok with them is ask for |
00:17:44 | 00:17:48 | how much the product costs in thousand |
00:17:46 | 00:17:50 | units 5,000 units and 10,000 unit |
00:17:48 | 00:17:52 | pricing you will see how they're |
00:17:50 | 00:17:53 | drastikally drastikally different a |
00:17:52 | 00:17:56 | thousand units and might cost you ten |
00:17:53 | 00:17:59 | bucks a unit 5,000 units might cost you |
00:17:56 | 00:18:02 | you know six seven bucks a unit and ten |
00:17:59 | 00:18:04 | thousand unit pricing might cost you |
00:18:02 | 00:18:06 | five five bucks a unit right drastikally |
00:18:04 | 00:18:08 | gets lower like that because they only |
00:18:06 | 00:18:10 | have to do the production line once okay |
00:18:08 | 00:18:11 | and it specially becomes worth if you're |
00:18:10 | 00:18:13 | if you're say if your product is selling |
00:18:11 | 00:18:15 | right now from Aliexpress and your son |
00:18:13 | 00:18:17 | thousands upon thousands of units a day |
00:18:15 | 00:18:19 | and you should have a good cash flow |
00:18:17 | 00:18:21 | Bank flow that you I would go and buy |
00:18:19 | 00:18:23 | five ten thousand units right out of the |
00:18:21 | 00:18:25 | gate to get that better pricing okay I |
00:18:23 | 00:18:27 | mean one good thing is if you're brand |
00:18:25 | 00:18:29 | new to this I wanted to put tests orders |
00:18:27 | 00:18:30 | here right play yourself up with them |
00:18:29 | 00:18:32 | right ask for a one thousand five |
00:18:30 | 00:18:34 | thousand ten thousand unit pricing and |
00:18:32 | 00:18:35 | then as you kind of start working with |
00:18:34 | 00:18:37 | them be like hey you know what since |
00:18:35 | 00:18:39 | this is our first order with you we want |
00:18:37 | 00:18:42 | to verify quality we want to verify that |
00:18:39 | 00:18:44 | the products a good fit and so can we |
00:18:42 | 00:18:47 | please do a five hundred unit order to |
00:18:44 | 00:18:48 | start to verify quality and if |
00:18:47 | 00:18:50 | everything goes well we will be placing |
00:18:48 | 00:18:53 | order for five thousand units |
00:18:50 | 00:18:55 | guys works like magic they you take that |
00:18:53 | 00:18:57 | deal every single day again that five |
00:18:55 | 00:18:58 | hundred units might cost you a little |
00:18:57 | 00:19:00 | bit more but again it's gonna verify |
00:18:58 | 00:19:03 | that quality for you another thing to |
00:19:00 | 00:19:05 | note is samples get samples from your |
00:19:03 | 00:19:06 | supplier same thing with Aliexpress you |
00:19:05 | 00:19:09 | don't want to be selling junk to your |
00:19:06 | 00:19:11 | customers order from Ali Ali Baba from |
00:19:09 | 00:19:13 | the Ali Baba supplier say hey can we get |
00:19:11 | 00:19:15 | samples like when you get the catalog |
00:19:13 | 00:19:16 | guys be like hey we don't sample this |
00:19:15 | 00:19:17 | this is this these are gonna be our |
00:19:16 | 00:19:19 | future product and we want to |
00:19:17 | 00:19:20 | manufacture this one for now but can we |
00:19:19 | 00:19:22 | get samples of all of them for now to |
00:19:20 | 00:19:26 | verify quality and all that good stuff |
00:19:22 | 00:19:29 | okay so hope that makes sense now as far |
00:19:26 | 00:19:30 | as shipping times I recommend you |
00:19:29 | 00:19:32 | you're good you're gonna have to get |
00:19:30 | 00:19:34 | this product to the States or wherever |
00:19:32 | 00:19:36 | you want to get it um there see shipping |
00:19:34 | 00:19:38 | and there's air shipping see shipping I |
00:19:36 | 00:19:39 | mean it's on a vessel guys it straight |
00:19:38 | 00:19:41 | up on a vessel there's more logistiks |
00:19:39 | 00:19:44 | that go into a sea shipment your I would |
00:19:41 | 00:19:45 | recommend you having an agent that kind |
00:19:44 | 00:19:47 | of handles all this for you that's what |
00:19:45 | 00:19:49 | we do and we pay them a little bit of a |
00:19:47 | 00:19:51 | fee but I'm telling you see shipping is |
00:19:49 | 00:19:54 | a little bit uh a little bit complicated |
00:19:51 | 00:19:56 | you guys inside the program already know |
00:19:54 | 00:19:57 | you have my contact who I use who's my |
00:19:56 | 00:19:58 | frightful |
00:19:57 | 00:20:00 | and all that stuff so you have that |
00:19:58 | 00:20:02 | who's my might who handles my sea |
00:20:00 | 00:20:04 | shipments takes about a month it's a lot |
00:20:02 | 00:20:06 | cheaper hell of a lot cheaper right you |

00:20:12 | 00:20:16 | know but it is more expensive okay it's |
00:20:14 | 00:20:17 | a lot more expensive so you want to |
00:20:16 | 00:20:19 | weigh those costs and benefits I |
00:20:17 | 00:20:21 | typically recommend a sea shipping when |
00:20:19 | 00:20:23 | you're starting out because it takes a |
00:20:21 | 00:20:24 | little bit time and it's really you're |
00:20:23 | 00:20:26 | really you shouldn't necessarily be in |
00:20:24 | 00:20:29 | like a huge rush you know what I mean so |
