The Real Alibaba Playbook

The Real Alibaba Playbook

£2.99£9

Have a product idea but don't know which Alibaba supplier you can actually trust to make it?

Finding suppliers on Alibaba is easy. Knowing which ones are worth your time, your money and your trust is the hard part.

The Real Alibaba Playbook gives you the step-by-step process I use to find, check, compare and communicate with suppliers, so you can move from “I've got an idea” to knowing which supplier you're confident progressing with.

Inside the Playbook, you'll learn how to:

  • Turn your product idea into a clear sourcing brief

  • Search for and shortlist potential suppliers

  • Check suppliers and spot potential red flags

  • Understand manufacturers vs trading companies

  • Know what to ask when contacting suppliers

  • Compare up to 5 suppliers side-by-side

  • Order and assess samples before committing

  • Understand EXW, FOB and Trade Assurance

  • Know what to check before paying a deposit

  • Follow a practical 7-step sourcing action plan

You don't need hundreds of suppliers. You need the right shortlist, the right questions and a process for deciding who you're comfortable moving forward with.

THIS IS BASED ON REAL SOURCING EXPERIENCE

I'm the founder of Fugafit, an activewear brand I've built by sourcing and developing real products with manufacturers. I've dealt with suppliers, samples, MOQs, pricing, product specifications and production, and I've travelled to China and attended the Canton Fair to meet suppliers in person.

This Playbook is built from what I've actually learned sourcing products for my own business, including the things I wish I'd known when I started.

CAN'T I JUST FIND THIS INFORMATION ONLINE FOR FREE?

Yes. There's plenty of information about Alibaba online.

But that's also part of the problem.

You can spend hours jumping between videos, posts and Google searches trying to work out what actually matters, what order to do things in and what you should check before handing a supplier your money.

You're not paying £2.99 because information about Alibaba doesn't exist online. You're paying for a practical process that helps you cut through the noise and move from product idea to a supplier shortlist you can actually evaluate.

PHASE 2 — YOU ARE HERE

PHASE 1: FREE — Early access / initial version

£2.99 is the launch price — once this introductory period ends, it moves to £9.

The original free resource has now been developed and expanded into The Real Alibaba Playbook.
