This is exclusively for the newbies in importation business.

I'd like to share some of my experiences and strategies so far in this business. And I'm going to make it in series for easier digestion.. Feel free to ask questions and criticise constructively and I promise to make out time to answer all. Ok, let's kick start...

Episode 1

It all started on Nov. 28,2012, when el mateo my mentor started an all-important thread titled "do it Yourself importation business free
guide". I quietly and religiously followed the thread from day one and today, the rest has become a history.

Like I've said earlier, I actually started to follow this thread quietly and religiously from day one, and as a newbie, I decided to gather all the information I needed which is why I was not able to start until the thread entered season 2.

when I thought I had gotten the needed info, I ventured into jewelries and the first sets I bought was 10pcs worth of about $40 which is equivalent to #6500..I used hk post cos I wanted to be sure it works. And when the items landed at my doorstep in portharcourt, I was happy with what I saw.
The jewelries was sold by my fiance at #3500 each, it was a feminine products. And I was able to have an "outrageous" ROI of about 30k.

this is unbelievably unbelievable right? Don't worry, it is just a piece of the iceberg. Episode 2 will come with more surprises..

Meanwhile, ask questions cos I really want this to be an interactive house and at the same time bring a euphoric sigh of relief to a lot of young youths out there who are busy looking for jobs that are not coming, "as I equally did some time in 2011"

@Eze. Which mode of payment did u use. Tell us which nigerian bank card is the best for making purchases on aliexpres, alibaba and odas. I observed that most sellers use china post for shipping, so how do i use hong kong post.

I use Access Bank VISA Card and never had problem, is the best for me, exchange rate is N159.5 = $1.
for your Seller to shipped through HongKong Post, chat with him/her, but it attract $2+ fee

use gtb naira Mastercard, the best for now. Chat with the seller and let him know the reason why he must use hk or Singapore posts.

How to use gtb naira Mastercard effectively with out any hitch.

Hi house, hope all is moving well.
Sorry for not being around for a while now, business has a way of putting people on the road all the time, especially when it's recording success.
But like I've said, if you have any challenges on the mini importation, ask your questions here. I'll make out time to attend to all.

But don't call me o, I'm getting tired of calls bombarding my numbers for "mentorship" except strictly on business purposes

olori 4b: Pls I need a mentor in this importation biz would like to import jewelries wigs and makeup pls anyone to put me tru thanks

bro, let me know your challenges, I could be of help.
I was equally mentored here. If you look up a bit, you will see where I mentioned my mentor's name and the thread. But hear this, he actually does not know whether or not he's mentoring me. I'm just following his foot steps...

thanks my challenge is i dont even know where to source how to pay etc all d goods on alexi are above my budget

hey...what is your budget?
there are products less than $1 on aliex, u can buy things of N1000 or N2000 from aliex and get them thru free shipping, then start from there.

@ OP, thanks 4 deciding to help ppl out dere. I followed d DYI thread too and I imported high heels. I didn't use CVM to ship dem. I just used another shipping company. I just wanna venture into jewelries now but I know that most jewelries on ALI ar of poor quality. Pls, I need your help in getting jewelries of good quality. Thanks.

lol, good quality calls for good money. You can get good gold on aliexpress but if you want real gold I will give you the link, but be ready to cough out up to 150k/piece
2ndly, you can still buy good quality products at aliexpres by chatting with the seller, tell him exactly what you want. And also let him know that you're going to return it if the item is inferior.

my man how far na. I want to appreciate you for taking out time from your busy schedule to respond to the newbies here. I was actually going to invite all the potential importers to post their reviews and testimonies here for the benefit of the newbies in importation business.
Once again thank you so much
