Your 10 Step Guide to Starting an Import Export Business

Want to start importing but don’t know where to begin? In this video, I break down exactly how I built my import business — from picking the first product to making repeat sales.
I didn’t chase trends or guess what might work. I started with something I already used, understood, and trusted. That gave me an advantage. I’ll show you how to do the same — no guesswork, no fluff.
You’ll learn how to:
• Choose the right product (even if it’s your first time)
• Avoid costly mistakes most first-time importers make
• Sell fast by offering local pickup or free delivery
• Track what sells and grow based on real feedback
Whether you want to import flooring, home goods, or tools, this step-by-step guide gives you a proven path — from real experience, not theory.
