Running online business in china?

hello i would like to run online business in china. can you give some advice that what business is with great potential online and why you think this business is marketable on the web.
thank you

Hi!

Starting an online business can be at any part of the world since the internet connects you to almost anyone who has connection with the internet. However, in China, sometimes, the authority can blocked websites and even all websites that are from a particular zone.

In business, you need to know what target market, where they are, and what they want. If you are thinking of a market in China, there are not many people using English and the other thing is that not many people trust the internet. However, that does not mean you cannot do anything. Paypal has set up a Chinese system and they have good reputation, so this might be a good payment system option to consider.

If you know Chinese, try marketing highly priced branded goods (provided you have means to get it into China), since most people that surf the net in China are young people and many Chinese went overseas to get branded products.

It is important that you need to know what you are good at and can offer. In business, there are three Cs to consider in order your business will be profitable and these are :

- Competency; your skills, experiences, etc.
- Connectivity; a hungry targeted market
- Creativity; your unique selling proposition

Hope this information helps to get your mind going...
