It’s my desire to guide you to start this
business mini importation which I promised on my website
...
I’ll try to make this guide as
brief as possible
...

For now, welcome to “The Cheap Mini Importation Guide “Again, because my
wish is to make this report witty and straight to the point, I’ll be cutting to the
chase
...

Let’s get started…

4

What You Need
To successfully start doing business of importation you need to have all this in
place to be able to transact business
...


1, A means of making payment to the import portals – I have been
using this gt-bank prepaid visa card to make Payments online; yes, a Ghanaian
bank known as GTBANK the name of the card is GTBANK PREPAID VISA
CARD or prepaid MASTERCARD
The card can be obtained from any branch of GTBANK
...
It can only take a maximum of 20mins to get it
...
Not sure!)
...

This card has an account number which will be issued to you by the bank
...
To fund the card, simple pay into the
account number at the counter
...

If you need further clarification on how to obtain this card, please Contact me
...
I’ve personally used that of, UBA and Access Bank and they
worked perfectly well
...
That settles the payment issue
...
Even though most
Courier companies would prefer to call you up to come pick up your item from
their office; you need to make sure the address you use as your shipping address is
easily traceable
...
O
...
If you think your address is not traceable or
you’re not too sure about it, please use your office address or a friend’s address
that is ok
...
39 roman ridge road dansoma, Accra is cool
...
99% of the time in my own
case, they courier guys called me up on phone to come pick my package
...

While a handful of them are genuine, a good number are rippers and scam
...

Hence, I will be showing you about 5 trusted imports and 5 wholesale website to
do all your mini importation business with
...

But because of the way things change, I advise you also to do you due diligent
research before dealing with them
...
aliexpress
...
As
a matter of fact, if you decide to focus on this website alone, you can still make a
lot of money
...

Now, for the purpose of this guide, I’ll be showing every illustration using
Aliexpress and Deal Extreme
...
Not to worry; they are little things common sense can put
you through
...
AliExpress
...
Your choice!
If you aren’t cool with that, you can hit the “Join Free” to create an account
...

Picture it like a shopping mall/complex, where different sellers have their
separate shops/stores
...

That goes to tell you that, while others are selling their products at cheap rates,
a whole lot are only middle men, who goes to shop A, gets a product for say $5
and list it in their own shop for $7
...

- Try to chat with the seller to know how fast the product will be sent to you
- Don’t allow the seller to trick you to buy from their personal website
- Check if there’s free shipping for the product, even if there isn’t, don’t worry I’ll
show you my sneaky, almost illegal way to either knock it off entirely, or reduce it
to the barest minimum
...
Image illustration on this later
...
I use this strategy to test the seller’s
customer service efficiency
...

10

Sellers that respond to such messages jovially, and try to explain things to you,
turn out to be customer friendly
...

Always make every payment through the recommended import website, usually
credit/debit card, Western Union/Moneygram etc with their escrow payment
option
...

I’ve had one or two instances where sellers requested that I pay
them directly, maybe to their PayPal account directly, or via western union and
promises to reduce the price of the product I wish to order from them
...
Avoid it! If the transaction eventually turns soar, you
might not be able to get back your cash
...
com
Here’s the result of my search:

Note the ticked boxes - “free shipping and Top rated”
And below is the result of the above search;

11

Now, if you look at the prices, you’ll notice they are really cheap
...

Eg; let’s click on the first result

12

From the image above, you will notice that the seller has got great positive
feedbacks… 9, which is about 96
...
You’ll also notice that the seller is online,
so you could start up a live chat with him to find out more about the product and
how it’s going to get to you
...
Settled? For a quick guide on how to
search for products and order, click here http://bit
...

Getting sellers to relax their conditions is not difficult as many people think
...
This trick works!
Here’s a little sneaky trick I use; it has proven to work 98% of the time
...
First, I get them to chat with me … this portrays some level of
seriousness in you
...
“He/she could be a serious buyer” they wonder!
Be friendly with them… crack jokes and try to develop personal relationship with
them
...
(The new to aliexpress drives them crazy!)
Tell them how there’s great demand for their product in your country, and that
you’re currently trying out a couple of sellers on the import website… Whoever
sells to you favorably automatically wins your heart and becomes your lifelong
supplier
...
At this point, the seller should say YES… we’re ready to serve
you fine! Ask them if they can reduce the price for you
...
Hence, may want to relax
their conditions to win you over
...
At times, you may find stubborn sellers stick to their conditions
...
Remember,
there are thousands of them in each of the portals
...

Let’s look at another example, a product that requires you to pay shipping fee
...
In that case, here’s what you do to have the
product shipped free to you…
Note: I can guarantee that you’ll get free shipping for all products that come with
some shipping fee, but won’t guarantee that 100% of the time, you’ll get your item
shipped free via any of DHL, FedEx or EMS
...


15

Escrow - what is Escrow and its benefit

Escrow It’s only a third party trust arrangement, which serves to protect the buyer
and the seller
...

Let me explain further;
Lets say you wish to order for a product on an import portal
...
Once you receive the item,
what you do is to come back to the site, click on "Item received" or something in
that line and the funds will be released to the seller
...
If also the item received doesn't
meet your expectation, you complain, send the item back and have your cash
returned to you
...
no regrets!!!
This arrangement not only removes the fear of been scammed, but also create
credibility and makes the sellers to be extra careful with the kind and quality of
products they offer
...

16

For our purpose here, escrow is in built in the import portals… Once you register
with any of the import portals, you’re automatically qualified to use their escrow
whenever you make an order
...

The entire import portal mentioned earlier has escrow payment arrangements,
though may vary in operation and name
...
com - More details here http://bit
...
com - Click here to read it http://bit
...
com - Read about their escrow services here http://bit
...
Like you read
earlier, you can use your normal MasterCard or Visa cards issued by your bank
...

Name on card - this is the name inscribed on your card, or in the case of
Expire date - the expiry date of your card, usually written in this format
11/14
...

CVV/security code - this is the last 3 digit number on the right hand side of the
back of your card
...
(Very Important)
Billing Address - this is the addressed supplied when opening the account
associated with your card
...

Except both are the same
...

So to make payments, simply add the item(s) you want to order to cart, and
then click on the “Buy Now” link; or whatever name it goes by on the portal
you’re ordering from
...


18

On the next page, you’ll be prompted to choose the type of card you want to use
for payment, (let’s say we’re using our GTbank Prepaid visa card) and then put in
your card details; and hit „Pay My Order‟

19

Upon successful payment, you will instantly receive an email acknowledging your
payment
...
Then,
you’ll receive another email from this Aliexpress or any of the portals given:

Once your goods are shipped, you receive an email which will bear the tracking
details
...

So, in the next chapter, we’ll be looking at how to track shipments and confirm
delivery
...

Once your payment is received, verified and withdrawn from your bank account,
the next step is to package your order and ship out
...
Except this time is
exceeded, there’s absolutely no point contacting the seller
...
This can
be used in cases, whereby you’re no longer interested in the order or you want to
make some changes
...
You’ll be given a site to input your tracking ID to
get details about the movement of your product
...


21

If for any reason you experience any issues tracking your order, just contact the
seller and have him explain
...

Most of the time, the seller will love you guys to settle amicably, because if he
doesn’t and you leave a bad review for him, it will affect his rating and subsequent
sales
...

However, if the seller is adamant and proving stubborn, proceed to clicking on
Open Dispute in the case of Aliexpress, to report
...
This is where you
can quote all your correspondences with the seller, even before the order was
made
...
If judged in your favor, which would likely be the
case if you present your case with facts, you’ll be required to return the item and
have your money refunded to your card with 5 working days
...
Then, if he’s not helping
matters, contact the site admin with your tracking number
...
Never be tempted to
use this method as a way to dubiously getting your money back after receiving
your ordered item
...


22

Here’s a screenshot showing the tracking details of orders I placed recently
...
You just click on
tracking and every information you need is displayed right on the site
...

In the case of problems tracking your order on DealExtreme, you contact the
DealExtreme support, as you cannot contact the seller directly on deal extreme
...

23

Drop shipping – what does it mean?

Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer
does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders &shipment
details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods
directly to the customer
...

The only thing you need to do is to get the orders from wholesalers/retailers, then
pass it to the import portals
...

Here’s How Drop Shipping Works;
Let's say Kwame sells a product on his website for $94 plus $10 shipping and
handling
...
Kwame logs onto Drop
Ship Access to enter the customer’s order and shipping information
...
Kwame is billed for
the wholesale price of the product and shipping cost, which is $63 and $10
respectively
...
Great job Kwame!
24

But in the above case, Kwame is required to do this with his money, right?
What if Kwame doesn’t have money but have the drop shipping idea and how he
can make money with it? Here’s what Kwame might want to do…
Let’s say Kwame finds another product that sells for $4
...
55) each
on one of the import portals, let’s call this product A
...
(Mind you, product A sells for GHC23
wholesale price in Ghana) Okay, let's say Nana orders for 200 pieces
...

So he pays half of GHC23 x 200 = GHC4600
Half = GHC2,300, Now to get 200 pieces of that from the import portal, Kwame
spends GHC8
...


25

Some Hot-in-Demand Products
Here, I’ll be listing about 10 products that are evergreen, and will be forever in hot
demand
...
These products are not
only in hot demand; also importing them will not leave a big hole in your pocket
...
However, if you’re just starting out and have limited capital, I advice
you start with the first 5 products and advance later

As a matter of fact, any serious importer would
want to make sure there’s a market already for his/her product even before she/he
imports
...
Okay, let me give
examples of people doing it right here in Ghana
Ghana- Supplier Remy Brazilian, Peruvian Hair 100% Virgin

http://on
...
me/W0oaLT
This guy imports Brazilian, Peruvian Hair and sells as low as to people via his fan
page
...

How to create one
First, you create Facebook fan page
...
fb
...
It’s free!
The next thing you would want to do is to design it with nice timeline cover and
profile images
...
fb
...

You can have a graphic artist do that for you…
Once your fan page is ready, the next thing is to get targeted fans to join your page,
using paid Facebook ads
...
It’s not only worth it, but
the fans of your Page become your loyal customers forever
...

Contact their admin and pay them to have your message with your page link
attached posted on their wall
...

However, if you’re going to be using the paid status update method, you may want
create a tab/app like this http://on
...
me/Xh0FMO click here

http://bit
...
to make sure you convert more of those
visiting your page from the other page to fans
...

Basically, all you need to do is to build relationship with your fans, gain their trust
and no one will bother if you have office or not
...
Now, how can we apply the drop shipping
method we talked about earlier to this?
You already know what drop shipping is all about… Remember, one of the reasons
I recommended the use of fan page is to build relationship and trust
...
You take orders from them, order for it on the import
portals and have the item delivered directly to them, without you even seeing it
...

That’s about using Facebook to sell your stuff
...
What you do is to approach ladies‟
hair sellers for example
...
Come back to any of the sites given in this guide and search for that
particular hair
...

The next thing you may want to do it go back to the seller again, and ask him how
much she will be willing to buy the same products from you in bulk
...
So, they
willingly will take you up… sometimes, may demand samples, but this does not
always happen
...

That’s all…
Selling phone accessories (pouch, casing, covers etc) and inexpensive products
with this method is easy
...

37

Method 3
Get A Shop
Yes, if the money starts rolling in and piling up, get a shop! And if you’re already
engaged with other things, get a shop keeper
...
No wonder Matilda got her shop after 3 months of selling
direct to retailers
...

You can equally advertise your products for free at http://ghanatrade
...


Receiving Your Goods & Making the Postman Your Friend
Well, receiving your items is the easiest and the sweetest thing I’ve noticed out
about this business… because even if we end up buying stuff at cheap prices and
they don’t get delivered to us, that will amount to total failure Depending on the
courier service you use, your item could either be delivered to your house by the
courier company or you might be called upon on phone to come and pick it up
from their office
...
And what they normally do is to call me on phone to
come pick it up
...

So, to make sure my packages are always safe… I found a way of befriending the
customs or last person my package gets to before I get it
...
By that, they handle
my packages with preference and try to ensure they are in safe hands… because
they know I treat them right
...

There are also cases of some sellers charging you higher than the courier company
charges
...
Tell the seller your mind, if he reconsiders and make the
shipping means and the cost favorable to you, then stick with him and conclude the
deal
...
Ask him/her to supply you the weight size of your
goods
...

Next thing you do is to log in to the courier company’s and contact them
...
With the weight, they should be able to tell you the
cost of shipping your goods down to you
...

Go ahead and pay the shipping cost, the will generate an invoice for you
...
Once your goods are
shipped, the shipping company will send you email containing your tracking code
...
Do remember to keep a copy of your correspondence with the
courier company
...

You may come across a seller who would suggest you pay him/her directly
(Bypassing the escrow arrangement), while promising to reduce the price of the
product for you
...
If you do, and there’s any
problem with your transaction, your money will be gone
...
The escrow arrangement in these import portals guarantees your
safety, and will always help you get your money back in case there’s any problem

Always Choose Hong Kong & Singapore Before China Post
...
Hence, items sent via China post take longer than normal
...

Note that, Hong Kong post, Singapore post and China post are in the same level

How To Avoid Paying Custom Duties
...
To avoid this, ask the
seller to ship them in batches
...


How To Get Manufacturing Companies To Brand Their
Products With Your Name
...
To have your name or your company’s
name branded on your products, simply contact the seller and request for it
...

This is the small trick some electronics companies in Ghana are using
...

Here is the link to create your own ware house account
...
com
when signing up I use personal account because is very cheap and equally have the
same features others have
...
We want to read your success story
very soon
