How to make money with Alibaba 10 steps

 


Here’s a clear, beginner-friendly 10-step guide to making money with Alibaba (focused on online work, no factory needed):


How to Make Money with Alibaba (10 Steps)

1️⃣ Choose a Profitable Product

Look for:


• High demand

• Low competition

• Lightweight items (cheap shipping)


Examples: phone accessories, home tools, beauty tools, fitness items


πŸ‘‰ Tip: Search products with “Low MOQ” and “Ready to Ship”


2️⃣ Research Market Demand

Check if people actually buy it:


• Amazon (Best Sellers)

• eBay sold items

• TikTok / Instagram trending products

• If it’s selling elsewhere → good sign.


3️⃣ Find Reliable Suppliers on Alibaba

Filter suppliers by:


• Trade Assurance

• Verified Supplier

• 2+ years experience

• Good reviews

• Message 3–5 suppliers and compare prices.


4️⃣ Negotiate Price & MOQ

Never accept first price:


Ask for discount


• Ask for free sample or cheaper sample

• Lower the MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)

• Alibaba sellers expect negotiation.


5️⃣ Order Samples

Before selling:


• Check product quality

• Packaging

• Shipping time

• This avoids refunds and bad reviews later.


6️⃣ Decide How You’ll Sell

Best options:


• Dropshipping (no stock)

• Sell on Amazon (FBA)

• Sell on Facebook / Instagram

• Sell on your own website

Choose what matches your budget.


7️⃣ Set Your Price (Profit Formula)

Example:


• Product + shipping = $5

• Selling price = $15

• Profit = $10 per item

• Always include:

• Shipping

• Ads cost

• Platform fees


8️⃣ Create Product Listings

Use:


• Clear product photos

• Simple English descriptions

• Benefits, not just features

• Keywords for SEO

• Good listing = more sales.


9️⃣ Market Your Product

Free & paid methods:


• TikTok videos

• Facebook groups

• Instagram Reels

• Facebook Ads (optional)

• Even 1 viral video can bring sales.


πŸ”Ÿ Scale & Repeat

When you start selling:


• Order bigger quantity (cheaper price)

• Improve packaging

• Add new products

• Build a brand

• This is how small sellers become big.
