In July in our mastermind group we're learning how to source products from China step by step. Here's the list of topics we'll cover on the road map to success:7/2 Introduction to Sourcing - Making a Sourcing List7/6 Evaluating Potential Suppliers7/9 Visiting Factories7/13 Negotiation & Communicating with Suppliers7/16 Using a Sourcing Agent or Third Party7/20 Designing Packaging (E-Commerce & Retail Considerations)7/23 Quality Control7/27 Inspection7/30 Shipping 101
There are many ways to get started and if you've never sold online before I recommend you start with retail arbitrage or sourcing small from wholesale sources such as Alibaba ready to ship. This allows you to very quickly flip $100 at a time and turn it into more money. You can make small mistakes instead of huge ones. I have even sewn and made my own products and sent them in as test products before white labeling or private labeling them. I once sewed 20 automobile phone holders and sent them in. Cost me about $2 to make and I sold them for $14. I learned a lot and got great customer feedback. Stop worrying about what business model to choose and just start with one product you can flip and learn the process of selling online.
My response to"I'm already in elite programs, I'm sure you've heard of "Guru X or Course B" so I just need someone to help me pick products, I don't need the rest of your curriculum. Should I just book a coaching call with you so you can help me pick products?" I do things completely differently than other programs. I don't help people pick products, I help people discover opportunities, validate their product ideas, ensure they are winners, and launch with confidence.
The members of my amazing mastermind group had some questions about sourcing agents. So I reached out to some that I trust and got some awesome answers! SOURCING AGENT Q&A WITH Afolabi Oyerokun from the sourcing agency Honu Worldwide.

Today I talked with McClain Warren from Laizon about how I'm launching my new E-Commerce and Amazon private label course in a mastermind group format instead of the standard watch a bunch of videos and execute. Why did I choose this model? It’s really hard when you watch a bunch of videos and not actually have people to talk to, get feedback from and hold you accountable... The goal of this course and mastermind program and what I want people to get out of it is to be able to launch their products with confidence
