Is it profitable to resell goods from Aliexpress? How to sell on Aliexpress from Russia: step-by-step instructions

There probably isn’t a user anymore who doesn’t order something from online stores. There is always a large assortment of goods of different categories for every taste and budget. One of such online trading platforms is Aliexpress. Of course, there are people who are afraid of being deceived or, unfortunately, cannot use this service.

Today magazine Reconomica wants to introduce you to a person who, by ordering goods from Aliexpress, was able to make good money from it. It’s interesting that anyone can repeat his experience, because such a earning scheme requires almost no investment.

How did the idea of ​​making money on AliExpress come about?

My name is Alexander Zayakin, I work as a teacher in a children's rehabilitation institution in Belorechensk. The work is mostly sedentary, at the computer, and in my free time I have time to work out - the income is not the main one, but it’s enough for small things.

True, withdrawing money is unprofitable due to large commissions. And you can’t count much on your salary - it all depends on the bonuses that suit the mood of your bosses.

But in those good months, when something burned out, I began to think about how I could slightly increase my money and make it work for me. By chance I came across an advertisement for the sale of some used Chinese phone - and it dawned on me...

Choosing an online store

The fact is that I am a fan of Aliexpress and was one of the first to order gifts for myself and my loved ones back when everyone was afraid of Chinese products. And as of 2018, there are still people who cannot purchase the goods they need - some have doubts, some have their alimony bills frozen and it is impossible to pay for the purchase with a plastic card. Most people prefer to order keychains and false nails from there. So I decided to try selling interesting products from Aliexpress in my hometown.

Target products

I chose four DZ 09 smart watches, several portable speakers with a radio, also took four FM modulators and gift packaging for all this stuff.

I ordered everything through the cashback service Kopikot, returning some of the money.

Aliexpress is one of the largest online trading platforms.

I used to use the Alibonus service before, but in lately he began to politely “forget” my orders, therefore, although the percentage on Kopikot is lower, it is more stable.

Withdrawing money without commission

To be more confident, I paid for the order using Yandex Wallet - it also has a 90-day guarantee for any product.

How consistently they fulfill this condition is not known for certain, but an additional sense of security is also a good bonus.

Yandex.Money service

I mentioned the Yandex.Money service for one more reason - you can withdraw money from most of them to this payment system with a minimum commission. Having issued a card for 250 (if my memory doesn’t fail) rubles, I received a full-fledged debit card for 3 years (if not more, I don’t remember exactly) with free service. You can pay with it through acquiring in any store without commissions.

Yandex.Money is one of the most convenient payment systems for services and goods.

But my personal interest was that I could turn electronic money into paper money, avoiding any commission, and at the same time make a profit - I set the average return on goods to 20%, but not less than 200 rubles. For example, I bought a smart watch for 800 rubles and sold it for 1000. In addition, it came with 8 GB memory cards, which I could use at my discretion. I also sold some of it for 200 rubles, and gave the rest or kept it for myself.

Methods of reselling Chinese goods and their target audience

I placed advertisements for sale on Yula - a fairly simple application that does not try to rip off money for incomprehensible and unnecessary services (many guessed that we're talking about about Avito).

I photographed the product, came up with a description - nothing new here. I had to add such a detail as instructions on my own. All the instructions included in the kit were in English, and I was not too lazy to translate them to give to the client, and at the same time I placed some advertising there and... a link to my website.

My simplest website

In order to be able to attract regular customers (and there were such) and familiarize them with my assortment (I had already worked through it), I decided to create a small website on the free Wix platform.

A simple but stylish template, a few positions – that’s all! The main idea is a small store interesting gifts with the cost of goods not exceeding 1,500 rubles.

It is often very difficult to find an interesting gift.

I displayed the main products on the store window - on Wix it is very easy to manage categories and systematize work with products in stock and pre-orders. But I will say in advance - I did not intend to engage in online trading, this page, for the most part, is a business card for my product, which I made as an addition to the main influx of clients, and Yula provided it to me.

Fly in the ointment

This is not to say that everything went “like clockwork”. The main disadvantage of this method of earning extra money is the long payback period for investments.

In order for money to flow steadily in the sphere, it is necessary to invest about 30 thousand rubles into circulation.

How to order goods

But the thing is this: goods ship on average for 1.5-2 months. You need to place an order at least once a week, or even more often. You need to order in small quantities so that the goods are not cleared through customs. And this all leads to an empty warehouse and irritated customers who are waiting for their pre-order goods.

You have to wait two months for goods.

Another unpleasant factor is that the product may be defective.

For example, one of the speakers was smeared with superglue, the watch arrived with a loose strap. In most cases, you can negotiate with the client to reduce the price, but I preferred to keep everything for myself. All the best goes to the people, as they say.

Please the client - a whole science

It must be said that all the clients were polite and adequate. Although some wrote to me in Yula that I was shamelessly profiting, and they saw my product much cheaper on Ali. It was unpleasant, but not embarrassing - I provided people with a full-fledged service, namely: I ensured the rejection of goods, took expense transactions on himself (and, as you remember, not everyone can pay with a store through a card), went to the right place at the appointed time (and this is delivery).

It’s a shame that people don’t realize how much more they are deceived by retail chains, where I saw the same watches and speakers for 3,000 and 1,600 rubles, respectively.

Even an 8 GB flash drive, which I sold for 200 rubles, cost 900 in Eldorado. At the same time, no one goes and complains to sales consultants that they can find their product cheaper.

Resume

However, the “fly in the ointment” did not spoil my ointment - I quickly sold out of my goods, and, to my delight, I did not receive any repeated calls regarding their malfunction. I studied Ali’s service well, raised my rating in the store and received cashback as an additional bonus. Overall, I had a positive impression of my small business. The income was 30% - after spending a total of 10,000 rubles, I received 13,000 by selling goods and meeting clients on the way back from work.

The key skills that have worked in my favor are honesty, a friendly attitude towards people and the ability to compromise. I tested my products myself, knew how they worked, and helped people figure it out. If I saw that the client had doubts, I refused the deal - there would be fewer headaches.

It's nice to be your own boss! If you can do the same, then you have a direct path to trading.

Today, the popularity of shopping in foreign online stores is growing day by day. Aliexpress is one of the largest platforms where a wide variety of product categories are presented. Many site users make purchases on Aliexpress not only for savings purposes, but also with a commercial bias.

The fact is that many goods have lower prices than on the shelves of domestic stores, and, therefore, they can be resold profitably. Let's consider which product categories are best to order in order to make a profit.

Product selection rules

1. Please review the item thoroughly before adding it to your cart. View photos and descriptions, read reviews from those who have already purchased it. Thus, you will reduce the risk of ordering low-quality products;
2. study the sizes if you are choosing clothes for resale. The fact is that Chinese sizes often do not coincide with European measurements. To avoid discrepancies, pay attention to the size table, where each category has its own measurements for the chest, waist and hips. You can also write to the supplier’s email asking for help in choosing;
3. delivery conditions – on Aliexpress you can choose different conditions: from up to partial payment. As a rule, the price of the goods already includes the shipping cost;
   
4. quality monitoring – before ordering a product for sale, it is recommended to read reviews about the supplier. Reliable partners have high ratings and do not deceive customers. You should not place a wholesale order from sellers with low or no ratings;
5. using filters - when choosing the categories “cheapest”, “most expensive” you will save time and immediately be able to see suitable products;
6. shares - they provide an opportunity to make good money on purchases from China. These can be thematic promotions, free shipping, discounts for beginners, categories of goods at a fixed price (3 dollars, 5 dollars, 10 dollars);
7. variety of wallets – it’s best to use several at once electronic systems, choosing the one that will be most profitable when purchasing.

What products are worth selling?

You can find almost any category of goods on Aliexpress, but is it worth ordering for resale? Before starting a business, it is recommended to analyze the market in your region and identify current products. Pricing policy is an additional incentive to attract customers, but no less important factor is potential demand.

In order to sell foreign goods profitably, transportation costs should be assessed. As a rule, large-sized products have high shipping costs, which often exceed the price of the item. In this case, the order may be subject to duty, which further increases its final cost. Therefore, it is recommended to place orders in small quantities.

Guaranteed profit - current product categories

You can make a profit on orders from Aliexpress when purchasing goods with high margins: clothing, small electronics, jewelry, gadgets, household goods, cosmetics, etc.

One of the most relevant product categories is. Chinese manufacturers are in no way inferior to famous brands in terms of the quality of electronics and the originality of their design. As a rule, famous brands They don’t always guarantee quality, but you have to overpay for a well-promoted “name.”

You can earn good money by ordering accessories. Aliexpress offers a wide variety of models at minimal prices: evening bags, sports bags, wallets, cosmetic bags.

Clothes for sale - comparative characteristics:

Other goods – what you can buy at a profit:

1. – the average cost in the online store is $15, in stores – $130;
2. – price on Aliexpress – 2 dollars, in stores – 18 dollars;
3. protective films – on Aliexpress – 0.3 dollars, in stores – 4 dollars;
4. lenses – $5 on AliExpress, $25 in stores;
5. sports shoes – from $30 per trading platform, from $70 in boutiques;
6. – from 20 dollars on Aliexpress, from 70 dollars in showrooms;
7. – the average cost in an online store is $2, domestic boutiques offer the same goods for $15;
8. children's toys - the difference between prices varies within $18.

Product and delivery method – how to choose?

You can additionally save on your purchase by choosing the appropriate delivery method. One of the most popular services is China Post Air mail. You can send light orders not exceeding 2 kg in weight. The maximum delivery time is 60 days. The cost is calculated for every 100 g of weight.

Larger products for sale should be shipped via China Post. Weight Limit The order must not exceed 20 kg. At the same time, the delivery service is faster, the maximum transportation period does not exceed 40 days.

If you require an emergency delivery, you can use the services of EMS. The minimum delivery time is 2 weeks, the maximum is 21 days. At the same time, the company transports cargo of various sizes and weights - from 1 to 30 kg.

Alternative services:

• SingaporPost is a stable company that undertakes to deliver the order within 4 weeks. Specializes in small orders up to 2 kg;
• SwissPost is a reliable service that is used to send electronics in most cases. The average transportation time is 25 days;
• Hongkong Post – has affordable prices for services, but the delivery time is slightly longer than that of its competitors;
• Sweden Post - the company is engaged in sending orders of various weights and dimensions (2-20 kg).

Good day everyone!

Today I will tell you about how to get an item for review, about business with the help of Aliexpress, someone may want to start, and someone just wants to know how it happens - read, I tried to highlight the most important, interesting and profitable points , and I’ll also give advice and recommendations based on my experience, and of course I’ll show you some of my purchases on Aliexpress, I’ll give some tips before and after ordering, I’ll tell you a little about the disputes, the pros and cons of Ali.

♛ FREE ITEMS TO REVIEW ♛

Not long ago, the Itao website appeared, where a lot of bloggers write about fashion and their purchases from Aliexpress, so if you write reviews there you can easily get things for free, and even expensive ones.

But here are the important conditions:

You must have your blog(Irek is not suitable), quantity at least 300 subscribers- but the more there are, the better, the more expensive things will be sent to you. The optimal option is 5 thousand. But it’s difficult to earn them honestly, so you’ll have to earn them by investing a little money.

Also, you must also have Instagram, VK, FB, subscribers are also needed here, the more the better.

If you have all this, half the work is done, all that remains is unwind on Ita oh that's not easy. You must write and do interesting things beautiful photos(other people’s photos and pictures can also be posted, I’ve seen some of them), Probably somehow you can cheat, mutually subscribe - I don’t know, at this stage I abandoned my way to a freebie. It’s easier for me to spend time and money (and cheating costs money ), spend on earning money and buy what you need yourself.

If you have all of the above accounts with many subscribers, filled with interesting content, then write, apply for cooperation, try to add your best photos showing clothes, accessories on a beautiful background, etc.

In general, this path is not easy, but if you like freebies or you are a creative person and just like to describe and photograph beautifully, then go for it!

♛ BUSINESS with Aliexpress ♛

Yes, yes, he is real. Many groups on social networks, online stores with clothes/shoes/jewelry/all sorts of consumer goods are resellers from Aliexpress. But, as a rule, resellers do not advertise this (those who know will understand, and those who don’t know will order from the group/website), often they don’t even say that the production is Chinese, because this will scare off many people, because prices in promoted groups are 3-5 times more expensive than Aliexpress ones.

And recently I saw a clear example: breast enlargement cream on Ali costs 100 rubles, and one cool businessman pushes him for 2 thousand rubles, and do you know how much he earned? Several million pure rubles!

And there are many such examples. Even this businessman organizes trainings, master classes on this, I don’t remember his name, but you’ve probably seen him somewhere in an advertisement on social networks.

♛ Eat 2 types of business here:

1. "In stock"- when you first buy goods, and then look for customers, sell - it is extremely risky and unreliable, because there is no guarantee that they will buy, but there is more trust in you, many do not want to wait, but buy right away;

2. "To order"- there are no risks, you order something that 100% will buy (take an advance payment, if you don’t take it, they will refuse, because while you’re waiting for the parcel, you’ll change your mind a hundred times), but it’s a long wait for both you and the client, but I don’t like to take risks, that’s why I have this is a way to make money.

I only have in stock items that once upon a time didn’t fit/the item was returned to me, and sometimes it still happens when you order 1 item and 2 arrive.

So, I will try to outline the main issues of business on Ali as briefly as possible, but I will tell my story.

♛ How did it all start?

(Not important information for those who are not interested in reading about stupid and kind Light gradually turning into a mercantile and business-minded businesswoman- scroll below)

At first, at school, when I didn’t even think about starting a business, I was the only one in the class who ordered from Ali and told everyone I knew about this kind of miracle shopping for low prices(why did I do this, I could have made money from them from that time), and even taught some how to order there (generally crazy), in general, I helped everyone who applied for free.

And I had an idea, why should I explain something to someone, teach them how to register, or order just like that, wander to the post office to my detriment (due to time, and some did not take the goods, because crap things arrived, I the unfortunate child left them lying around at home). Then, I made a 10% markup on each purchase, saying that this was the site’s commission (the commission on Ali was I don’t remember how much%, and I took the rest for myself), things went a little better. The income was ridiculous (you yourself remember what prices were in 2013), but it was quite enough for a schoolgirl.

♛ How did it continue?

I created a group on VK, posted a lot of photos of things with a markup, at first I didn’t get impudent, I took 30-50 rubles, then gradually increased it, at first it didn’t work - only friends ordered, and since they knew me - if they didn’t like the product, they gave it away . But I never went into the red, didn’t retreat, ordered more and more.

♛ Development. Attempt No. 1.

2 measures were taken:

1. Addition of paid delivery of 10% of the amount of the goods (not reasonable, but it had a positive effect, did not scare anyone away, because orders were placed in the range of 300-500 rubles, and it is not at all a problem to pay an extra 30-50 rubles for delivery)

2. I was looking for people I knew who wanted to earn extra money, to whom I promised a percentage of the amount of the goods - unsuccessfully, none of my friends wanted/could/tried, but failed...

♛ Development. Attempt No. 2.

I moved to live in a city where there are more opportunities, more acquaintances (studying at a university) and my orders increased several times. I even abandoned all measures to develop and replenish the selection of goods, I just placed orders and that’s it - it was a mistake.

♛ Development. Attempt No. 3.

Everyone knows that students want to earn extra money, I did promotions, discounts, for those who bring clients - a successful attempt, but in the city many already know about the existence of Ali/SP/Ibay, etc., so at most 3-4 new clients were added .

♛ Development. Attempt No. 4.

Connecting other cities. I looked for buyers and helpers in different groups, ordered advertising in communities - it also had a little impact, but I know my mistakes, why it was not very effective - there is no trust, and it is not easy to earn.

♛ Development. Attempt No. 5.

Everything is the same, but more intense.

Price increase (insignificant);

Searching for clients not only in other cities, but also in countries;

A very intensive search for helpers in the store (by the way, if you are reading this and want to earn extra money, write to me in PM

Adding people to a group

Adding new and interesting products

Adding products not only from Ali

Adding “IN STOCK” items from the remaining items (those that were rejected, that didn’t suit me personally, that I received extra, or that I wore something but decided to sell)

I don’t increase prices several times like others, I take a maximum of about 20-25% of the amount, but that’s for now, I sensibly assess my capabilities and my current position (the position of the group in the eyes of people), which I advise you to do.

"FUN" EVERYDAY DAYS OF A SALESMAN or NOTES OF CRAZY CLIENTS

Disadvantages of such earnings (READ TO EVERYONE):it takes time, and not small, nerve- buyers often call, write already after 2 weeks they are worried about where their package is, at 3 weeks they accuse me of fraud, at 4 they threaten to sue me To be honest, this is very unpleasant to hear. Even if you give the tracking number, they still don’t understand what it is and are convinced that you are a liar and a deceiver, and sometimes it happens that the number is not correct, well, the Chinese do this on purpose.

There are a lot of people who want to buy something from girls 12-14 years old, these are either those who doubt everything: “And prove that you will not deceive me?”, “And I’ll ask my mother, then I’ll tell you”, “Let me first receive the goods, and then pay”, “If you deceive me, I will I'll tell my mom!"

And it can also be simple rednecks and insolents“Hey, get me this dress”, “Hey, let’s get it cheaper?”, “How much money will I get if I sell some of this junk?”, “Hurry up, I’m waiting.” - THIS IS NOT MY FANTASY, in fact they write to me like this. And often. Very often. THERE ARE VERY FEW ADEQUATE BUYERS.

If you sell things for children, there will be a lot of young mothers, they conduct long negotiations, you spend sooo much time on them, even several days, then they tell you: “No, you can be a scammer, I won’t order from you.”

Well, everyone who is interested - I'm afraid of the long delivery, and in the end, only a few agree to order. Have you calculated how much time and nerves it all takes?

There is no need to write that I chose the easy path. This is not free money, here you really have to get on your nerves, or rather, they get on my nerves. Every day. Every hour. Always. But I like the fact of the sale, I like working with ADEQUATE REGULAR CLIENTS - everything is here for them: discounts, promotions, gifts.

No need to write to me" If it's so hard, stop", but this is a business with prospects that is constantly growing and developing. I will not go to work for my uncle, I will work exclusively for myself as long as I have the opportunity.

As soon as my business ideas stop, my store goes bankrupt - then perhaps I will go, but still I hope for the best, and everything will be fine for me, as well as for my assistants, because I I pay them a decent percentage and always give bonuses for good results, which definitely increases their passion for earning money - Well, you got the hint, yes, where and to whom to go to earn extra money

♛ Results, tips(or whoever was too lazy to read above, here you go):

1. First, find a client, then implement the idea (don’t spend money at first);

2. Develop your group, make it more convenient, upload a lot of photos, add people, let customers write their reviews about your work - trust is very important!

3. Follow the rules of effective communication. Never be rude to a potential client, don’t speak harshly, don’t joke, if you don’t know how to do it - CONTROL YOURSELF!

4. If you are talking on the phone, during a meeting (for example, when I give away the goods), be sure to show your interest, goodwill, thank you for the purchase, etc.

5. Make promotions, discounts, giveaways

6. Gradually raise the price, but only slightly so that customers don’t run away

7. If you have time, write to your client at least sometimes (congratulate him on his birthday, March 8, Valentine’s Day, Happy New Year, etc. - so that he doesn’t forget about you)

8. Notify your regular customers (if there is time - former or potential) about discounts, the addition of albums, new products, etc.

♛ Important: Come up with ideas yourself - that will interest people; if you act according to a template, you will not develop, you simply complete a list of tasks invented by someone, and when it ends, you will stop your activities, you will not be able to navigate the situation, so go keep up with the times, develop, improve yourself and your business.

♛ Probably everyone has a question:“Sveta, why are you telling us such ideas, schemes, advice, we will become rich and become your competitors?” Yes, after this review I will gain myself a lot of competitors, but I believe that one piece of paper with instructions (in this case, a review with advice) of someone else’s business is not enough: you need a lot of personal qualities, opportunities, free time, you need to understand the risk of possible losses, and then that you may find yourself in the red, which almost always happens in the initial stages. If you have the desire and opportunity, go for it, if not, you stick to the idea “Yes, as long as there is something to do, the main thing is that there is income”- it’s not worth it, you must be interested in THIS business, without interest nothing will work.

My experience will be useful to people who have started to engage in sales, or are very interested in starting, and perhaps my advice will also be useful to those experienced in this matter, because we develop not only thanks to our own experience, but also that of others.

♛ And now advice regarding orders from Ali, I’ll be brief:

2. Try not to contact new sellers, but if the benefit is great, then don’t miss your chance, for example, I bought 2 cool dresses for 82 rubles and 220 rubles (now these cost many times more, if you find them at all on Ali)

3. Be sure to read the reviews for goods, they have everything: speed of delivery, quality of goods, even real photos, so be sure to write your own - help others

For example, I always try to write a review, and the seller will be pleased, and buyers will know more

Example of my review:

4. If problems arise: the track number is not tracked, the goods do not arrive for a long time, the goods arrived with defects, etc. - open a dispute, you will get your money/part of the money back

5. For any questions please ask the seller in English- use a translator, and write in general - don’t be shy

6. Before confirming your order, be sure to look, try on, or better yet, wash the item.

For example, I received a T-shirt, the seller wrote everywhere that it was 100% cotton, it was also written on the tag, I decided to wash it, dipped it in water and instantly the water turned out to be black, I took a photo of the T-shirt in the basin, opened a dispute and posted the photo as proof, the seller unconditionally returned it to me 50 rubles (I didn’t get impudent, it was already cheap).

In general, in most cases I am lucky with disputes. Sellers either remain silent for 5 days (which means the dispute is confirmed automatically), or immediately accept and return the money.

I'll show you a couple of arguments, you can open the rest at the bottom of the page (I didn’t put everything out, there are a lot of them). Here are the latest:

The blouse arrived with rust, holes from the machine, and weak seams.

Unlucky towels (I ordered 4 of them on sale on November 11 - they still haven’t arrived, the dispute has been open for a long time, the seller did not agree, so technical support decides what to do, I think in 20-30 days the money will be returned to me)

There are persistent sellers who will do everything to deceive you or pressure you into pity, they wrote to me "Business on Ali is crap, there is no money, please close the dispute" I felt sorry for the seller and halved the desired amount upon receipt, yes, it’s easy to pity me...

Well, that's all, probably the most important thing I said, and Now I’ll show you some of my premises:

The advantage for the average user is the numerous reviews left by customers from all over the world. This fact can tell a lot about the quality of the product. Moreover, it is now gaining popularity to shoot a video about a purchased product, in which you can clearly see all the advantages and disadvantages. You will pay attention to the videos. This makes aliexpress an even more popular site.

Benefits for business, how to make money

It’s very easy to buy goods on Aliexpress, and it’s even easier to build your own business. This does not require huge start-up capital and large financial investments. In order to resell goods from Aliexpress in the future, the purchase can be made in several ways:

• For an initial wholesale order, you should have a small starting capital. It's profitable to order this way. It is better for sellers on Aliexpress to give the goods cheaper in large quantities than individually at an inflated cost. You will be able to offer goods at a price acceptable to the buyer. A wholesale batch will be cheap. The income for you will be tangible.
• On Aliexpress it is possible to enter into a partnership agreement and use dropshipping. This type of sales will provide an opportunity to attract customers and earn money, without the need to store the goods at home. You will receive a percentage for mediation. It is more difficult to establish such a system than in the first case.

Note!- This entrepreneurial activity, where the intermediary sells the supplier’s goods under his own name with subsequent delivery to the customer. Good way earn money and establish a business.

To organize this kind of business with aliexpress you only need a great desire to work and have basic knowledge about marketing. Many people do not want to cooperate with the site for various reasons: no time, not enough knowledge, no desire. It’s easier for them to buy a blouse, bag or phone they like in a regular online store or in social networks. There are always plenty of buyers, regardless of the price of the product. Your store has a great chance of traffic, and you have a great chance of business profitability.

Save with aliexpress

To buy and resell profitably, and at the same time make money, you need to come up with interesting idea. This could be a regular page on social networks that will specialize in cosmetics or clothing. These are the things that are always in demand.

They also create shops based on interests and narrow specialization:

• Tea shop.
• Everything for needlewomen (knitting needles, threads, hooks, hoops, etc.).
• Sporting goods.
• Dishes.
