Hi, Raider! 1) I had to walk away from distributors that wouldn't use Paypal. Now, that I have a little faith, I will work with companies that have 10+ years experience, with bank transfers. The truth is, if they want to scam us it will be hard to get our money back no matter what method we use. I used Paypal strictly at first, and then am just branching into bank transfers with companies I am now comfortable with and with companies that have been a round a long time.... figuring they wouldn't still be in business if they were scamming people (also google search the company) 2) I was getting these same responses until I used the '10 samples to our 5 distribution locations'. This seemed to make them more willing to work with me. I did have 1 product that stuck to needing 500 units for logo work, and I had them send me the product no logo and had a fabric iron on logo square made from another company, and put them on myself. I know that seems crazy, but it was cheaper, faster, and I could test the product without being so financially invested (I just had to invest some elbow grease) 3) I always gave them my business name and website, but have never been asked about Amazon or told I was their competition until the one I showed in video. Something else to consider as buyers. GOOD LUCK!

lol. I understand and appreciate your feedback. KZfaq says people like music, so I have been playing with that, even though I find music distracting. Feedback like yours, helps me to play around with ideas and know what works and what doesn't.... so thank you :)

I agree. The music was a distraction. More annoying than pleasant. I'd much rather just hear her voice loud and clear. I also really enjoy the channel and appreciate all of the hard work and videos shared.

I didn't even notice the music that much while I was listening but I felt somehow it kept my mind engaged so I do not think it's a bad thing.

@@toatsvcs2962 yea I agree I didn't notice the music either until I read the comments.

@@EntrepreneurGirl Ilove your video, informative and accurate. Appreciate what your doin.

THANKS for saying that.... it encourages me :)

SO glad you added that... honestly, Alibaba selling it too wasn't even on my radar. Here in the states, most distributors, just stay, well.... distributors. I can see where this could become a huge obstacle not only for PL but for regular sellers, too.

Thanks!

lol!!! Hope to have lots of behind the scene REAL LIFE private label videos coming out soon.

Danish Ahmed thanks for having my back! :)

No problem, "EG" :) !

Same here lol

Thanks Linda! It's been a big learning curve, and I am so happy to be through the process of getting my product.... now on to the next hurdle :)

I wanted the videos to be more about the emotions and behind the scenes, then how to because I feel 90% of the obstacles are truly in our minds. I doubted what I was doing every single day, and still just did it. Figuring, I wouldn't know if it worked or not, unless I tried. I would rather try, know, and fail.... then always sit around feeling bad that I didn't try and what if it is the next best thing..... :)

Thanks Adam!!

hahaha... I know, right?!?

Marc Possoff amazon will be like eBay flooded with Chinese direct sellers. And for reasons I don't understand factories from china pay less on postage than I do here in the US

I find that the expense is in sending the box, whether there are 1 or 50 items. Of course, it's more expensive but I felt it was minimally so. Does that make sense?

well, at first I was disappointed as this was the path I was planning on utilizing.... but now, I realize its not the end of the world and even though I will have to work harder, it will be more authentic in the long run for everyone.

Yes, that's a real bummer. I knew that of Amazon, but was surprised to see Alibaba distributors already in the game. That's a bummer.

Yes, this ^^^, Amazon picking up the item and underselling, not by pennies, but by 30%!

Amazon can offer a better price because they purchase in very large quantities. They have been establishing themselves and building relationships with manufacturers since 1996. They are not assholes, they are a well established brand offering quality products at a good price for their customers.

cgisf I had Brita filters on amazon for something like 18.99 when amazon's price was 19.99. I just wanted to simply clear my inventory. You know what amazon did? They lowered their price to 16.79 until I brought my price back up again and then it was mysteriously back up to 19.99. That's an asshole move. But it's part of the game. It's not wrong, but it's an asshole move, knowing most of us new sellers can't get anything for that price. Luckily, Amazon was backordered so I got my sales back briefly. Not doing that product again unless I get it for like $5-8 which won't happen.

JustVideoUploads hgf8uhhg 50th the first one is in my job is posted in on Monday January at a very long and I am sure I oops I juice.

Great add, thanks. I think AliExpress is lower MOQ but higher per unit price... did you find that to be true?

EntrepreneurGirl Yes it seems to be higher price per product, but there are discounts even at 5 units. Also, if you watch the item the price can drop and you can get discounts if you buy using the app - I'm not sure why they want you to use the app so bad. But yes, I would maybe see if you could buy a few units on aliexpress and then do bigger orders on alibaba. I wouldn't be surprised if a seller sells on both platforms. I think your method of pretending you're a big company, using verbage like "we" and trying to get samples for your "suppliers" or "clients" seems like a good method.

Depends, each product is so different and with different demand levels.

Did she ever reach out to you
