    Thanks for the kind feedback! I think you should try both, try it yourself through Alibaba (I have a video on that too - kzread.info/dash/bejne/loKWzqqkldGcosY.html ) and also hire a sourcing agent to do your initial research and see who comes back with better products and pricing and then make a decision. You can choose to hire or pay the sourcing agent if they manage to get better prices than you can, if not you just go through the process yourself, hope that helps 🙏

    Hey Abdul, that's a good idea if the sourcing agent agrees to do it but they will most likely want a high up front cost in order to do this work then the plus side is that you don't need to pay them a commission after the order is placed. But you have to trust that they have introduced you to good factories!

    Here is a legitimate question I have. Most of my contacts with Alibaba suppliers are duds because 1) I do not know if the person I am speaking with really represents a manufacturer or a trading company. I basically only have about $100K total I could invest in PL, and NOT all IN ONE PLACE. Can I even afford a product sourcer? Is my capital enough to get through the muck that sourcing from China seems to me to be. I cannot afford the sources my mentors have, as they are looking for $200K or more single orders? Should I punt on this venture, or is there another solution. I am frustrated by one project I began to work on that a larger seller was also working on. Not really in a happy place at this moment. What should I do?
