Business with goods from China. How to start a business with China on resale without investment

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 prices are 2-3 times cheaper. That is why the business selling goods from China is profitable and promising: you will sell high-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 conduct business:

Dropshipping This method allows you to start making money without investment, so it is ideal for beginner businessmen. The principle of dropshipping is simple - you find people who need a product, get money for it and make an order from the manufacturer. The manufacturer sends the goods to the client, and you get your commission. Its size can be different - on expensive goods it usually makes up 25-35%, on cheap ones - 200-500%. The only drawback of such a business is that the client needs to wait a couple of weeks for the goods to arrive by mail.
Joint purchases. This business is well developed in thematic groups or communities. The main idea of \u200b\u200bthis scheme is to reduce the price of wholesale purchase. A simple example is that a manufacturer sells sneakers for $ 30 per pair, while retail puts them in stores for 60. The manufacturer does not deal with single orders - he has a minimum selling batch of 10 pairs. Your task is to collect 10 people, having received from them a certain percentage for their activities (usually 20%). In addition, your group will save on shipping - its cost will be divided into 10 parts.
Wholesale trade. The trading principle is similar to classic dropshipping, but with one amendment - goods are sold in bulk. Many stores are happy to purchase goods at a low price with a short delay - you only need to organize the work scheme correctly.
Creating your own online store or site. To do this, you need to either be knowledgeable in information technology or hire a person who will make the site for you. It will bring constant 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 the warehouse), as well as by the method of dropshipping, warning people that delivery will take some time.

Doing business with China will bring you good profit with the right approach.

Earnings without investments

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

Note:parcels costing up to 1000 euros are not taxed 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 underestimate the price for a smooth passage of customs.

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

You can make money on the Internet not only by programming, writing articles or clicks, but also by selling Chinese things. This is a remote business, which, if properly organized, brings good profit. It is based on an elementary scheme. Buy cheaper, sell more expensive. But where to start this profitable business? Next, we will provide a complete step-by-step guide on how to make money selling goods from China from scratch. This will help you quickly go from a beginner to a pro and become the owner of a successful online business!

Why is this a profitable business?

As you know, you can make money on absolutely everything, including human laziness. This is the basis for the sale of goods from China. The vast majority of people do not want, or do not have enough time to search for cheap products through the Internet. They agree to overpay for receiving things without unnecessary worries and hassle. Why not do business on this? Moreover, it is very profitable even in a crisis. Net sales margins range from 70 to 200%.

But in order to make money on this business from scratch, you need to think over several points:

Decide which products will be sold. It is advisable to choose the category in which a person understands. It can be mobile phones, children's toys, video recorders and even piquant accessories for intimate pleasures.
Decide on a sales strategy. You must first evaluate how many people and what products are ready to buy. Now you should find sites for resales: social networks, message boards, online auctions. In the beginning, you can attract friends, friends, colleagues.
Find a reliable supplier. There are a large number of resources that offer Chinese things at low prices, but after transferring the prepayment, the connection with them is interrupted or many reasons are thought out so as not to deliver the goods to the customer. For example, they cannot leave China, because they are stuck at customs and it is not known how long they will stay there.
After suppliers are found, it is necessary to learn how to order things. Some vendor sites are focused on China and not Russified. A full-time Google translator will not help here, so there is a risk of getting not what was ordered. In addition, prices on such sites are quoted in RMB and must be converted to dollars, euros, and rubles. You can earn here only by knowing the Chinese language.

Traditionally, to promote your business, you must first sell things with minimal wrap, which will attract customers. Subsequently, the price can be gradually increased. Such tactics will allow you to earn and quickly sell products.

As for the initial investment in the business of selling Chinese goods, opinions differ here. Some say that in

2019 You can start the year with $ 100, while others argue that it is better to spend at least $ 500. One way or another, you will spend 50 thousand rubles on the maximum organization if you additionally want to pay for placement on bulletin boards. In any case, the more you invest, the more you will earn on selling things from China.

In order for the business to go uphill, resale was successful, market monitoring should be carried out, prices on popular online trading platforms should be reviewed, such as:

VK - VKontakte;
Avito;
Hotprice.

Today, online stores are fading into the background, and selling one-page sites have come to replace them - Landing page. These landing pages can sell products and services much faster. The resale of goods from China with the help of such resources is gaining great popularity.

In this country, everything is produced that is in demand among consumers. Of course, sites with Chinese products are very popular today, but many are simply afraid to order goods there, or do not want to wait 2-3 months for the selected product to arrive. Therefore, some find it easier to buy a bag, a phone, a DVR, a gadget case and much more from a Russian entrepreneur, for whom Chinese sellers are ideal suppliers of goods: and prices are low and you can order in bulk.

How to organize resale of goods from China

Benefits of doing business with China

Where to buy goods for resale

Today, there are a lot of Chinese sites with low prices. The most popular that deserve special attention:

Aliexpress - adapted for the Russian-speaking population. Low prices for goods due to the fact that they are purchased from direct Chinese manufacturers. The average delivery time is 25-40 days, depending on the region where it is delivered. The maximum period during which the goods arrive is no later than 60 days. Otherwise, you can open a dispute and return the money. You can order goods directly from your mobile phone by installing a special application. A great chance to find a profitable supplier and work on individual conditions. A good selection of payment methods: bank cards, electronic money of popular systems, mobile phone bill. Large selection of sellers with free shipping. A huge range of goods that are in great demand among Russian consumers. The only negative is that you cannot buy original goods from other countries on Aliexpress. For example, here you can buy only a Chinese copy of the iPhone.
Ebay - great deals on a huge amount of goods. Also, as on the previous site, there is free delivery. Purchase Feature - need to win the auction.How to buy - before placing a bid, you should definitely see the price in the “buy now” tab. Of course, it is not necessary to raise above this price during the auction period. If disputes arise with the supplier, you can always resolve it through the "Conflict Resolution Center". In case the parcel does not go for a long time or the goods arrived of inadequate quality, you can return the money by opening a dispute. There is an opportunity to save on “Combine shipping” by ordering several units of goods from one seller.
Taobao - prices on this site for a large segment of goods are lower than the previous two. The thing is that the Chinese act not only as sellers, but also buyers. Only the owner of a special Chinese account Alipei can purchase goods on Taobao. Why are the prices low? Yes, because no Chinese will buy goods at a high price, knowing its real cost. In order to receive goods from this site to a Russian buyer, must be ordered through intermediarieswho pay for the goods from their account and deliver it to the buyer. Of course, these services are paid. A plus is about 10-20% of the cost of the goods. Do not forget about the shipping fee, which is calculated for each kilogram of the weight of the purchase. But still, the benefit for the buyer will be. The interface of the site will have to figure it out. It’s best to install Google Chrome browser with built-in translator for work.

Ordering and reselling goods from China is profitable. The main thing is to correctly select the goods for sale, find conscientious suppliers and organize timely delivery of the order to the buyer.

Hello dear friends. Today I could not stand the onset of questions about the legal / legal “Business with China”, namely, small business / earnings on the resale of goods from Taobao, Aliexpress and other Chinese sites. Very many people are interested in the question: "Is all this legal and if not, then how to legalize?" I will answer all the questions in this article in as much detail as I can and I know. So, let's begin.

The only legal scheme for importing goods

In order to legally sell imported goods, in our case from China, you need to follow one single step-by-step scheme:

Purchase from the supplier with the provision of documents for the goods (invoices, certificates);
Official customs clearance of a consignment of goods and payment of duties;
Registration for the entire batch of goods imported into the Russian Federation. To do this, in most cases, copies of the goods are taken, which pass a series of checks and after which the entire batch receives certificates.

That's all! There is no other way! Any product needs documents!And what do you want? And to start from scratch, and not to buy goods, and not to invest finances, and not to break laws, but to get good money?) It wasn’t there! But what about our beloved Taobao and Aliexpress?) About everything in order.

Resale of goods from Taobao, Aliexpress and others.

Making purchases on the Chinese sites of Taobao, Aliexpress, Tmall and the like, you buy goods exclusively for personal use, but not for systematic resale for profit. You must know and understand this! From this we can logically conclude that the resale of these goods in order to systematically profit is illegal.

It turns out everyone who sells clothes from China on social networks, in markets and in stores is engaged in illegal activities? If 3 points of the scheme indicated above are not observed, then YES. Why are they still working? The answers will be below. Therefore, you should not tear your hair out, curse me and my site, that for a long time I wrote to you about some illegal "Business with China" and go into other extremes. Read on.

How then to sell

I will list those methods that I know, but if you know something too, then write in the comments. I will say in advance that I am not calling you to methods that violate the laws.

Case 1. If you want to do a full-fledged business with registration of IP / LLC, payment of taxes, etc.

If you classify yourself in this category, then there are 2 ways.

Buy goods in Russia from supplierswho have all the necessary documents. These suppliers are also purchased in China, but their large volumes allow them to make certificates for the goods, because they are not always cheap.
Or you can buy goods in China, but not from Taobao and other sites, and at wholesale suppliers or manufacturers in large prefabricated batches or immediately 40 foot containers, observing 3 simple points of the scheme, which I wrote about at the very beginning.
Or order goods from Taobao and other sites without issuing certificates, but sell goods as used. The sales scheme can be used as for commissions / second-hand sales for each item of goods with a description and compliance with all requirements (good condition, dry cleaning and others). Even phone sellers in transitions use such a scheme. They transfer their own goods for sale to their store under the contract. I am sure that the inspecting authorities will not ask for each contract, because it is a very long time, but we are talking about laws.
To buy goods wherever you want, but also in the appendage to buy “left” certificates for these goods. This is against the law, but many people sell it that way. In general, in our country a lot of transactions go through forged documents.

Yes, you need to invest in it, sometimes a lot of money. But such is life. If you want a full-fledged business - invest. Money makes money. Think logically and understand that there is practically nothing else.

Case 2. If you just want to earn on the resale of goods from Taobao and the like.

Here, almost all working methods are not legal, but everyone works according to them and I approximately know why. Because to pull everyone who sells goods on Avito, Vkontakte (in groups) and in other social networks to controlling services is simply meaningless, not profitable, it is not necessary and I would even say crazy! I do not urge you to break the law and I do not guarantee that you will not be caught, but I still do not know a single case that such sellers were caught and punished. So here are the ways.

Work without IP / LLC, without documents for goods and other formalities, like most others in this activity. This is me about small livelihoods of 10-20-50 thousand rubles a month. Although a lot of people earn more at times, but there’s already someone like that. This option has a place to be. Sell \u200b\u200bwith Avito, VK, etc. Nobody needs you so small. Some people in the markets are without registration, documents, or even without registration, but here is the Internet. If caught, then a fine of 500 to 2,000 rubles. There may be more, but I'm not sure that your turnovers and profits will suffice for a more severe punishment. , there are all the numbers.
To register as an individual entrepreneur and carry out legally resale activities as an intermediary. Those. under the agreement, you receive money not for goods, but for the service of purchasing goods from Taobao. Those. you have nothing to do with the goods, you simply redeem them for the client and get a reward for this. You can also do this by,. This scheme is legal, but hemorrhoids, because to conclude an agreement with each buyer is complete nonsense. If you sell a lot of goods in small wholesale, then you can still. The main thing is not to buy illicit goods.
Register as an IP / LLC and import goods legally, as in the diagram above. This option is immediately negative, because it is not profitable. You will give for certificates and customs clearance many times more than the cost of the goods themselves.

Important to understand

You most importantly understand that resale with Taobao, Aliexpress, etc. cannot be called a full-fledged business. This is all a small income, which although it sometimes brings a lot of money, but still it is not a business. It has both legal and illegal ways of doing business, as you understand from the above. Therefore, you decide for yourself what you want: do business and invest, or just find a part-time job, extra or basic income. And if you choose the second option, then soar your head with legalization and other things. This is equivalent to the fact that you want to legally go at a speed of 120 km. including with a limit of 60. Not really, that's all!

But I do not think this article is pessimistic and I see no reason to panic. I just answered thousands of questions in one article. And I’m sure that everyone who understood this from the beginning was both selling and will be selling.

I look forward to heated discussions in the comments under the article, questions, ideas, objections and clarifications!

Regards, Schmidt Nikolai

How to start trading goods from China

Almost every fifth item in the world is made in China.

Goods from China are very popular. So why not make money on it? How? In our section “Business with China” there are answers to this and many other questions that arise both for beginners and experienced entrepreneurs who have decided to develop their business. But first things first.

How to open your profitable business and get a stable income?

Twelve Ways to Make Money Selling Chinese Goods

Search for a partner (intermediary) living in China and supplying you with products. You must agree that having a person in place who at any moment can find what is needed and when needed is much more convenient than doing it yourself. Just imagine: to go to China, find a product, buy it profitably (not the fact that it will be possible the first time), and then take it back ... It's expensive, irrational and inefficient. Especially if you are looking for a large turnover.
Joint purchases (or dropshipping). This method is perfect for those who want to try their hand at this business with minimal investment by purchasing a small batch of goods. Today, it is easy to find people on the Internet who are happy to help you implement your plan.
Deliveries of honey to the People's Republic of China. Today it is very profitable to supply honey to China. Of course, as in any other entrepreneurial activity, there are pros and cons. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with them first and then decide whether this niche is suitable or not for you.
Sale of Russian light industry goods to China. It is proved that the Chinese love the Russian product. And this applies not only to nesting dolls. We will not touch energy and technical resources. Let's talk about light industry. In addition to honey in China, coffee, confectionery, cosmetics, cereals (wheat, flour), flax, mineral water, sunflower oil are in demand ... Everyone can try to occupy a “convenient niche”. The main thing is to act.
Become an agent. You can earn on the orders of others by becoming the Chinese intermediary for TaoBao for the Russians. To do this, you need to thoroughly know the sites, have contacts in China, know the language (Chinese is perfect). Becoming an intermediary for TaoBao you: help customers place an order, choose the size ... In general, orient the buyer in all the intricacies of cooperation with the store. Transfer information to warehouse workers and get your percentage of the purchase.
Become a logistician. Most often, a logistician is a person who picks up a product, checks its quality, repackages and redirects to customers. Technical work, but not dusty.
Opening your own store on Aliexpress. Since 2016, the procedure for opening their own store on this famous site has been simplified for Russian residents. Now it’s enough to conclude an agreement with Pickpoint, the Russian official partner of Aliexpress, which provides comprehensive support to new sellers from Russia, register on the platform and start trading. But before that, do not be lazy and read the recommendations that will make your start even easier and more enjoyable. You will understand all the intricacies of the process, see the difficulties that you will encounter and learn how to eliminate them painlessly, quickly and effectively.
Affiliate of Aliexpress and other online stores in China. This method is suitable for those who want to start a business without investment. The earning scheme is simple. You register in the affiliate program, get a referral link and post it on social networks, the YouTube channel, blog, forums, groups. In general, wherever possible. As soon as a person follows it and buys the recommended product, you get a percentage of its purchase.
Resale. Everything is simple here - you buy products cheaper, sell more expensive. The circuit is old, but working. What products can I earn? We have found out and will gladly tell you. .
Sometimes the margin on Chinese goods in the Russian Federation reaches 200% or more.
Wholesale purchase of goods without intermediaries. Now, any businessman who wants to do business with China can freely buy products in bulk, without overpaying to intermediaries. Of course, here, as elsewhere, there are pros and cons.
Opening of his enterprise in China. No dances with tambourines, but only real information about the opportunities provided by the Celestial Empire for Russian businessmen. Opening your own company in China is difficult, but more than possible. And the opening procedure is many times easier than, for example, in the EU. If you are “on fire” with an idea and are ready to give everything 100%, the road is open. China gives entrepreneurs a green light.
Opening of own production in China. This method is available to those who have serious capital and the intention to connect themselves with the business for a long time.
