china- how to speak to a supplier

Alibaba.com is a great place to buy resale items, group buys and samples.

What is a sample? A sample is one of anything.
 Even if the company isn't selling samples young can still buy them if you know how to speak with a business.

Tips.
Always say hello and I look forward to your reply.
Always speak in a simple way so the sales person can understands you (most don't speak very good English so unless you speak mandarin Chinese speak simple.

I recently spoke with a company that sells gaming laptops on alibaba .
they immediately wanted to know how many I wanted to buy.
 This didn't work for me since if I was going to buy for resale I wanted to actually judge the quality of a sample.

First i ask so it's a conversation not a demand.

"Hi, can I order a sample to see if it meets my standards."

Then I tell them that they decided to allow a sample by asking not if but how much. Specific questions and no "the" because it doesn't exist in Chinese.

"How much will laptop cost?
How much will shipping cost?"

bottom line
Sometimes you can get a free sample but most of the time you will have to buy it and pay for the shipping.
The sample will cost less then store price but more then wholesale.

good luck!

When I was a 13 year old boy, my friends from school took me to a fertile orchard on the edge of town.

They assured me that it was one of their parents land so I naively believed their story.
   
I climbed to the top of a pear tree and threw down three ripe pears and headed for the last one to eat.

While I was thusly occupied, an old lady came out of the only house  in the orchard and started yelling at me to come down.
I came down and started asking what the problem was.
She responded with a blow with one of her crutches to my right leg.
Still holding the pear I kept explaining that I didn't know it was her land, when she finally heard me she believed me and apologized. I offered to give back the pear but she let me keep it saying I was a good boy.

That pear was the best tasting pear I have ever eaten and all because I was honest. Not all stories end this way.

Once I was cussed out for being beaten up but that's another story.

The process
Research the subject, articles on growing tomatoes rewritten and combined.

Start a website or sell on Amazon,
ebay, google play, etc.

Write about a problem with a solution, write about the solution and sell!

I'm going to write a eBooks and so should you!

A book I'm reading and I think you should too

The six figure second income.

This book might sound like a sham but it's not. I read 64pages today and so far it spoke of fears we have as entrepreneurs, why they're invalid and of a few ways to make money the smart way.
I  also shattered my screen so I'm interested in how my reading will suffer.

Short review
I've been taking this focus and emotion stimulant and I have to say for $10 a bottle these pills are the best.

problems
I use to have problems with anger and depression but after two days I had no problems even reducing my dose from 9 to three pills day!

Reaction
I was very skeptical at first no side effects from an herbal supplement?

A little bit over a year I have to say that I am now more focused, never angry and actually more awake.

What this herb mix is used for
Bipolar, suicidal depression and any thing mood related.

The simple writing technique for the nonwriter

This one is a bit harder for the people that have tried writing before.

Start from the finale (end) and then start discovering (not inventing) the story that led to this the last sentence. Write the story sentence by sentence always going back.
After you finish just put the sentences in the right order.

  An example of my writing.

As I lay there wailing for death I though of my love Nadia.
I thought the monster was dead but I was wrong and My fears of were confirmed when I saw the tip of a sword sticking out of my chest.

this took me 30 seconds, imagine what I could do I'd I tried!


Another way and another example.
Write your book in eight parts each part represented by a word then sentence then paragraph and chapter.

Example

childhood. Love. Disaster. Fight. Failure. Success. Love found. Ending.

My childhood was a happy one, till everything started falling apart.

I met this wonderful girl and we spent many quiet days together.

My love left and I was left alone.

I fought the policeman with all my
strength but he would not let go!

I was thrown in jail like so many before me.

I got out eight months later for good behavior and found a man that taught me all that I now know.

Unexpectedly my childhood friend and only love walked through the door to my café.

I asked her to Mary me and we spent the rest of our lives together.

Now that you have techniques and examples just write your book!
As always good luck!
