In Part 2 of the complete guide to sourcing products on Alibaba you'll learn how to search for products and connect with suppliers. But before you start using Alibaba, you should understand the following rules

(1) Form long term relationships with suppliers
(2) Numbers on Alibaba don't mean anything
(3) Never place a large order before seeing samples
(4) Always negotiate!
(5) Don't waste time with suppliers, go straight to the manufacturer

== How to start =====
(1) To start with Alibaba, go to Alibaba.com and create an account.

(4) But remember don't mean anything, so take these figures with a grain of salt
