Dear ETR Insider,

For years, Michael Masterson has been encouraging his readers to start a side business, preferably on the Internet, in order to develop multiple sources of income.

With many hundreds of millions of dollars to his credit, Michael certainly knows a thing or two about how to do it!

He says the simplest way to start a successful side business right now is to harness the production powerhouse that is China.

“First,” he says, “you find a popular product that is selling for about $100.”

“Next, you find someone in China to knock it off and sell it to you for $10.

“Then, you sell it to your market at half price.”

Hard to do? Not at all!

In our brand-new China Wholesale Trader program, ETR’s own Marc Charles shows you exactly how to set up your own Chinese import business: how to find manufacturers, how to get in touch with them, the best way to negotiate, and where to sell your products online.

He even gives you advice on which products to sell! Here’s a hint: Do a quick eBay search, and you can see that electronic gadgets (cell phones, laptops, iPods, and iPads) and school-related items (boots, backpacks, and dorm decor) are hot. Another huge market is for herbal supplements and natural remedies.

This business requires very little start-up capital. And most Chinese manufacturers let you buy small quantities so you can test your market.

On top of that, it doesn’t require office space or employees. You don’t have to deal with bureaucratic red tape. And with drop-shipping, you don’t even have to maintain any inventory. The products are sent directly to your customers.

But don’t take my word for it. Check out Valerie Johnson’s story. She used this approach to create a super-successful business that went from $0 to $1.8 million in revenues in just 5 years!

Why China, Why Now?

Response to our new China Wholesale Trader program has been tremendous. In fact, it’s become one of our bestselling products.

But a few readers have told us that they’re holding off on buying the program because they have concerns about doing business in China.

So I want to take a moment to alleviate those concerns.

We’re not suggesting that you close up shop and move to China. And we’re certainly not trying to take manufacturing jobs away from folks in the U.S.

What we are trying to do is help people like you profit from a tremendous opportunity – possibly the greatest entrepreneurial opportunity in our lifetime.

You see, for the first time, individuals can compete on a nearly equal footing with the world’s largest retailers – the Walmarts and Amazons and Best Buys. They can buy modest quantities of popular products cheaply… and have them delivered to the States in a matter of days.

It’s no stretch to say that America is a country of entrepreneurs. There are tens of millions of us who are looking for ways to start a successful business and ensure our financial security. Most people have no idea how easy it is to start up a Chinese import trading company… and so we’re trying to spread the word.

Of course, when it comes to an unregulated market like China, due diligence is critical. That’s why Marc Charles makes a point of helping China Wholesale Trader members distinguish between fool’s gold and the real thing.

In Marc’s program, he’ not only shows you how to get in on this lucrative market quickly and easily, but safely too:

You’ll learn:

• How to know if an exporter is legit. You’ll find out what a “trust pass” is and why it can make all the difference in the world to your success. Get this wrong and you’re guaranteed to fail.
• How to master the lingo. Other importers will think you’re an old pro, which means they won’t try to take advantage of you. You can learn all the necessary terms in less than 2.5 hours.
• How to correctly handle the exchange of money, whether it’s dollars, yen, or euros.
• How to order in small quantities. Sometimes you can even order one item at a time so you don’t have to keep your money tied up in inventory.

And more.

One more note: Agora, Inc.’s founder Bill Bonner and Agora Financial’s publisher Addison Wiggin just came back from a research expedition in China.

And Michael Masterson has there several times in the past 20 years to do business.

But, Michael says, only now is it possible for people who don’t have international businesses like he had and Agora, Inc. has to get involved.

That’s really the crux of it. We at ETR feel that China trading is a business opportunity as big as information publishing, and that’s why we are setting up programs and protocols to make this a core part of our business in the future. The response we just got was an indication of that. We wouldn’t stand behind a program we didn’t believe in, and we absolutely believe in Marc’s China Wholesale Trader system.

So keep your feedback coming on this. I’d especially like to hear from all of you who have given the system a try in the past few weeks.

Is There a Shortcut to Success?

When it comes to starting your own Internet business, the only shortcut to success is to follow the lead of experts who’ve already “been there and done that.”

Like Brian Edmondson, the main presenter at our upcoming 5 Days in July Internet Business Building Conference. He knows where the landmines are. And where the buried treasure lies.

When you meet Brian and the rest of the experts we’ve brought together for our 5 Days in July Conference, they’ll get you up to speed on skills that 99.9% of all the Internet start-up entrepreneurs out there don’t have…

And you’ll leave with a business that’s completely functional – a website up, running, and ready to churn out a steady side income!

All it takes is 5 short days in July.

The “Sound Sleep” Trading Strategy

“Crashes and huge stock losses are not an inevitable part of the investing process,” says IDE’s Steve McDonald.

Tell that to my friend Gary. He wakes up at least twice a night to check his investments online.

Steve has a trading strategy that can help Gary – and you – sleep soundly… no matter what the overall market is up to.

Especially in light of last week’s market gyrations!

“Isn’t it great to own bonds when stocks are getting slaughtered?” Steve asked his readers.

Sleeping well… you can’t put a price on it.

Meatballs in Paradise

My dog George had to get a bump removed from his paw this week.One more thing before I sign off this week…

After the procedure, he was feeling a little under the weather. I think he’s embarrassed by that cone he has to wear around his head to keep him from chomping at it. So for a special treat, I brought him with me to my favorite Italian restaurant.

He got loads of attention. And the chef even brought out a meatball, just for him!

A wise man once said, “My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am.” I couldn’t agree more.

Until next week,

Sincerely,
Laura Rodini
COO, Early to Rise
