Hi ! Friends, Hello friends, I am back again. Are you enjoying the monsoons !!!!! Hey, what are you doing now. Oops, so silly of me, you all are on net, surfing, looking for something cool, whether for business, job. etc. We all know that internet is a huge ocean, and in order to navigate this ocean we use search engines etc. Business professionals uses business websites, search engines etc. There are numerous business websites on the internet. I have been using a site called https://alibaba.com for sometime now, for about four years. Alibaba.com, was recommended to be by a friend, and I found its name attractive and simple too. So, I thought lets check it out.
Alibaba.com , a China based company, is online meeting place of suppliers and buyers. This site is an effective site to source Chinese suppliers for different products & services. And not just Chinese, I found they are good for sourcing products from whole of Asia too. I found this sites strength lies in having a wide database of suppliers specially from Far East countries. However, at the same, their trade board, i.e.. Buy & Sell boards, attract buyers & sellers from all over the world. Now, let me tell you, I came to this conclusion by not just looking at their trade boards,but I have used them too. They are very effective and you get serious buyers & sellers for your products. Just read this, there are 27 industry categories and 700 product sub-categories !!!!! It ranges from agriculture to fashion to home supplies to excess stocks !!! This website has not only survived the dot com bust but also grown strongly.
Alibaba was recently named by Forbes magazine as the best of the Web for business-to-business commerce. Friends, I hope you all also find https://alibaba.com to be of some use !! Before, I finish, I read this line from Mr.Jack Ma, one of the founders of Alibaba, I quote him, ''Don't learn from your successes. Learn from those who have survived mistakes.'' '' Happy surfing !!!!!! Thanks A.B
