The 2018 Chinese New Year: How to Survive & Thrive!

February 19, 2018 by admin

What is the Chinese New Year?
Unlike regular new year celebrations that take place at midnight between 31st and 1st of January, the Chinese do their own celebrations differently. They celebrate the New year on different dates each year because their celebration is based on a lunar calendar.
Since it is a holiday, people and business are bound to take some time off, which is a two-week duration for the holidays. So, the first step to preparing your business for this break in transmission is getting a clear idea of … Read more

What about long waiting time with dropshipping from aliexpress?? 2-4 weeks is a lot of wait? wont there be complains and refunds?

Claudia says at 20:59 et

That's not an issue as long as you don't sell on amazon or ebay and only use this method on your OWN site (shopify store). So you customer cant ruin your acc feedback with negative reviews on slow delivery time.
For amazon you should only use domestic dropshippers to avoid long waiting time.
One more tip - call the shipping "FREE". when something is free people tend to complain less. Okay it's slow but i got it for free so i will wait.

Welcome Sarah!! Try musefind, tapinfluence, tomoson, famebit. also check Groundsignal, socialchain , Shoutcart.
Or reach personally specific top influencers via their contact forms/fb messaging/youtube etc. Most have already ads department and managers to handle that.
Also bloggers you can find alltop directory..

For me works best reaching influencers directly.. I never had much luck with those paid services, they are just a middleman.

Try Tomoson also, a good place to find mommy bloggers and instagrammers

UPS is Universal Product Code A barcode used for tracking trade items in stores. It usually has 12 numerical digits, which are uniquely assigned to each traded item (GS1 US). You can buy it on speedybarcodes and other sites.

welcome guys, i am new here.. i was wondering what upsell and funnel apps you guys are using and why?

Tyro Meg says at 21:40 et

Welcome friend I tried clickfunnels its good but not integrated with shopify.. Use clickfunnels to build your landing page for facebook ads promotions and collect leads and THEN send them to shopify via followup series..

Alice says at 21:41 et

For shopify try One click Upsell by Zipify. also Product Upsell.. You can set up rules for upsell offers. Klavio works well for retention emails..

Hey guys, how valid are the estimated sales per month in the best seller finder?

50.0000

Uncle Sam says at 01:28 et

They are pretty good, you must understand that real numbers only amazon knows, all the tools can use the estimates based on the BSR approximation!

Great quetion from Nasim, i wanted to share it and then my response. "This course is really inspiring me to open my own store. Can you give me one more suggestion. From your experience which one you think is better a specific product type or mixed product stores? "

50.0000

Mike says at 11:59 et

There is no specific answer to this. You know Amazon itself is "everything store" and they are very successful. At the same time a lot of shopify stores are "one product only" or "one niche only". If you target specific niche (like pugs lovers, pug owners for example) then your store should have only products for pugs, because if they see the product for bulldog, they will be frustrated and leave). I hope it helps, but there is no RIGHT or WRONG way here.

I would suggest

1. If you go with "everything store" then research top competitor everything stores and make sure to sell similar products by similar prices. This will reduce chance of failure.

2. If you go specific niche, again use competitor spy tools and find out best selling products in competitor stores and duplicate them.

Hi guys!

I just returned back from China trip, that was such an amazing and eye opening experience to see REAL China, to break stereotypes, to meet my chinese partners, sourcing agents.

I had a great opportunity to get in depth insights into Chinese whitelabelling business, I even visited and FILMED several factories for you! So you will see my journey and hopefully follow and take action as well, starting your own successful business in China!

We also had a chance to visit Canton fair, the biggest industrial fair in the world with over 45000 factories showing their newest products to potential FBA sellers from all over the world! We filmed it too to give you real life insights on how we choose the product and what questions we ask!

It will take me couple of months to cut all material and prepare the videos, but once ready, you will be first to receive them! Stay tuned and enjoy our course! Remember I do it in my spare time from selling, as doing course does not really bring me any money with such a low price, so my main profit only comes from selling itself, that's why I'm little slow on cutting the videos so bear with me :)

Thank you again for leaving your reviews for the course, it really helps me a lot spread the word and inspire me keep going and share this exciting material with you to help you succeed on Amazon and shopify!

What was your most meaningful review (so far) like? What impact did it have on you? What would you want your dream review to say if your student could only use one sentence?

50.0000

Mike says at 14:23 et

The fact that someone took action and started his own ecommerce business is the best review for me. I know many people only learn but never take action or find excuses like "i dont have time for this", so I really appreciate when people take action and do what they learn!

Brandon says at 03:47 et

Good answer

What is Influencer Marketing and does it really work like the guru claim it is?

50.0000

Gab says at 15:38 et

It means when you contact the influencers (youtube stars, instagram stars) via famebit or similar services or directly. It does work but it depends on the service you offer or the product. Lets say you have a beatuty product or tech product - it's easy to find the massive influencer for that. But if you offer something rare and local, it would be hard to advertise via influencers, as their audience is very broad!!! Hope it helps!!!!
