Profile: Who is Alibaba?


Who is Alibaba? Alladins sidekick? A terrorist from some middle eastern country? Alibaba is actually the worlds largest online business to business marketplace. With global expansion going the way it is today, alibaba.com has emerged as the answer to connecting the business world.

From agriculture to transportation, alibaba.com is a website that allows businesses from any country in the world to share their products at very competitive prices. With China on the rise as a global business powerhouse, it is easy to do transactions with this country without even stepping foot outside your door.

Alibaba.com is very simple, ill give you the basic rundown of how it works. You go to the main page at www.alibaba.com. There, you can sign in or open a new account, this allows you to have an identity and gives you contact with sellers all over the world. You can then search for any product you like. When you find what you are looking for you generally have to send a message to the seller and ask specific questions such as: what are the prices, what is the minimum quantity shipment, how is payment sent and received etc. (while doing this you also need to verify the sellers authenticity as a trader because there are scams out there. The seller usually gets back to you within 48 hours. They will usually allow you to chat with them or even call by telephone.

Alibaba.com allows young people to find a niche market and invest in it. We can bring market specific goods here from other countries for high profit gains. I have worked with alibaba.com for about a year now. In no way am I an expert, but I would encourage anybody to give it a try, or at least find out more about this amazing online market.
