How to Import from China

I have been importing goods from china for almost 15 years now and it really amazes me that more internet marketers don’t do the same. It’s amazing how easy it is to be profitable and truly bring value to people.

I remember at the very first of the dot-com boom the big buzz was that the business world would be changed forever because the supply chain would be slashed. Basically, manufactures and importers could sell their goods directly to consumers without the distribution channel eating up all the profits and driving up the costs.

It never seemed to happen on a large scale.

I’m here to tell you it totally works! Imagine you sell hand dryers, like the kind in restrooms. These things are like $400 retail but from my supplier in China there $34 bucks!

I can sell them online for $199, or 50% off retail, and sell 100+ every month, just with simple PPC.

Here is my biggest rule.

Is the product something that would be hard to find locally in a good size town. If you can’t find it at home where do you look? Yep: GOOGLE!

I’ve had success in the past hand dryers, stanchions (look it up), sausage grinders, liquid fillers, key control cabinets and a bunch of other weird niches.

Take it from one who has hung up his info product boots, physical products are where it’s at, and they always will be.

PLUS: I sold my last physical products site for over $250,000 when it was just 9 months old. People understand buy low and sell high.

If you guys seem interested in this subject, let me know and I’ll write more about it.

If you have a niche in mind tell me about it below and I’ll give you my thoughts (worth about 2 cents)

Happy Importing, Perry

Perry Belcher – Home Alone

After a full week I am home alone. Wife’s out of town, kids away, even the dog is still at Pet’s Mart (I’ll pick him up in the morning) I have to say it’s kinda nice, but I wouldn’t want to get use to it.

While the noise of  a full house and the hassles of the day usually drive me crazy, I know I would hate this 100X more. I can’t imagine it.

The week went well, I learned some really cool stuff and had fun with some old friends.

Tomorrow all will begin to return to normal, dog comes home in the morning, wife in the afternoon, kids on Sunday and church with mom. By then I’ll be wishing I was in my cave.

Maybe I’ll have the good since to remember how lonely and cold it is… home alone

Perry Belcher gets a facelift

Hey There,

I have neglected my old friend the blog. While I have a lot of other properties online this one has been with me a long time and it deserves a little spit and polish.

I installed the brand new WordPress 3.0 and Frugal Theme 3.5 for the dress up. This will be a ton of work but probably worth it.

I’ve been spending 20-30 hours a week in SEO research lately so I’ll be testing it a ton here.  Talk about some brain twisting crap, this seo crap is driving me crazy. I might share some of my test data if I get the results I’m expecting.

If you stop by say hi. Just because I don’t teach any more doesnt mean we can’t still be friends.

See ya soon,

Perry Belcher
