In Part 2 of the complete guide to sourcing products on Alibaba you'll learn how to search for products and connect with suppliers. But before you start using Alibaba, you should understand the following rules

(1) Form long term relationships with suppliers
(2) Numbers on Alibaba don't mean anything
(3) Never place a large order before seeing samples
(4) Always negotiate!
(5) Don't waste time with suppliers, go straight to the manufacturer
(6) Keep records of everything

== How to start =====
(2) Search for a product

(3) Review the product specs. The FOB is the price/unit of the product. MOQ is the minimum order quantity which is the minimum number of pcs you must order from the suppliers

(4) But remember don't mean anything, so take these figures with a grain of salt

(5) Initiate a chat session with supplier or send them a message

(6) Negotiate directly with the supplier. Order small quantities before placing a large order!.

*Please*, I'm begging you, make more of these videos. I've watched through all three parts currently available and I'm thirsty for more knowledge about this topic. You're doing such an excellent job, it's a shame the rest of this series isn't up yet.

Personal question, how much success have you had in the past reselling items from Alibaba? Were you able to live off of these profits or do you generally just stick to teaching your methods instead of using them for yourself?

Greetings from Germany!
