Online business, anyone?

Did you notice there are TONS of blogshops nowadays? It's like a trend or something. I'm not talking about "personal blogshops" like my Shopper's Sanctuary. Most of the items there are either pre-loved or items that I purchased from the stores myself and later decided I don't want them anymore. It's mainly a place to get rid of my unwanted stuff.

I'm talking about blogshops that sell brand new clothes, bags, accessories, baby apparels, shoes, toys, etc. The kind that looks like they come straight from a factory or something - like if they're selling clothes, they come in a few sizes, colors, etc.



This is too cute!


Some blogshops even sell the exact items like baby apparels and I've always wondered where the heck did these people get them from?? And how much profit do they actually make because most of the items are so cheap!

I was surprised to find out that you can actually make a lot of profit by selling stuff online. I'm not just saying 100% profit - much much much more than that! But not many people are making a lot of profits tho. According to a survey conducted at BisnesBorongChina.com, from 128 respondents, 69.8% are doing business with a profit margin below 50% and only 6.6% have profit margin over 100%. NONE of them are doing business with profit margins above 200%!



If you fancy the idea of having an online business but you don't know how to start or where to get your supplies from, listen up because I'm about to share with you how you can do so and make profit margins of up to 200% and more!

Great Minds Group Sdn Bhd is a team that educates entrepreneurs to venture their businesses by buying directly from suppliers in Guangzhou and Saigon, which are the two most prosperous cities with traders and business owners from all over the world. They conduct courses called Guangzhou 101 and Saigon 101 for those who are interested to get to know about business opportunities available in China and Vietnam.

Some of the modules include preparation before going, how to budget your first wholesale purchase, tips and tricks of doing business and product samples that you can get from China/Vietnam.

A lot of home-based businessmen/women have started their small business by joining their wholesale trips, mainly Guangzhou 101 and Saigon 102. The great news is, it doesn't take a big capital to start this business! RM3,000 -RM5,000 is good enough for a start.


Tuan Shuaib, the Lead Trainer of Guangzhou 102 is giving a brief talk
at the Metro Station in Guangzhou. That's how Survivor Mode works.


They don't only show you where the Wholesale Markets are, they will also guide you on how to travel using public transports mainly the Guangzhou Metro to reach all the major wholesale markets, as well as Halal Restaurants around Guangzhou. But don't expect you'd be traveling on an air-conditioned-charted buses or vans tho. This is not a vacation to rest and relax! It'd be an adventurous experience and the method they use is called "Survivor Mode". As a pioneer of this method, they believe that to succeed in the business of importing goods from abroad, you need to know the city well and there's no other way to know a place than knowing how to travel around the city using public transport. You'll feel more confident and can travel like a pro the second time you come to the city on your own to do your business! After all, real adventure and sweats are for real entrepreneurs!

You can read some of the experiences and testimonials from those who have joined this program here: http://bisnesborongchina.com/testimoni-g101/.
