Buying from China, what you should pay attention to?
There are multiple challenges if you are not familiar with international trade and China vendors.
Product selection, some tips as below
It works for me – While this may seem obvious, there are so many products and services out there that don’t do what they promise. Or they do, but they just don’t work well. Yet, people still promote these products because they are lured in by the promise of huge commissions or the rampant “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” mentality that is very prevalent in this industry. Don’t do this. You will lose trust and credibility and it’s never a good idea for a long-term sustainable business.
I’ve used it myself – This relates to point #1. I’m only going to promote a product as an affiliate if I’ve bought and used the product myself. By using a product yourself, you will discover both the pros and cons of the product you are using which helps you write more credible reviews or case studies. This is important because the more trustworthy you are, the more likely your readers will click on your affiliate links.
Trusted Brand – I prefer promoting affiliate products of a company or person that I already know and trust. I know their products will be solid and that they treat their customers well. These are the brands that make the top affiliate programs. People are more likely to search and buy from trusted brands. Plus you will find that trusted brands have a lower refund rate which means you get to keep more of your affiliate commissions.

If you are Amazon or Shopify seller, it will be a good idea to source from China. China is an attractive marketplace. China can now produce high-quality and high-value goods. Before you start your google search for the best suppliers in China, you need to have a better sourcing plan. It will help you avoid getting scammed, and find a reliable supplier, and negotiate the best deal.

Here is a quick guide to source products from China
It’s not only looking for a deal, try to build relationships. Compared with others, China and most other Eastern countries have different business transactions. In China, the way to do business is through relationships. A person with plenty of relationships is in a better position to grow their business than a person who lacks it. The success of a deal depends on how well you can build a personal rapport with the Chinese supplier. The stronger your foundation, the higher the return on continued successful business relationships.

Research the supplier carefully
Sourcing products from China is a hard process for Amazon sellers who are starting out. It will take a lot of time to find the right supplier who is reliable and can meet your quality specifications.
