Hey everyone, welcome back to my YouTube channel. Today's video is going to be all about finding your vendors. I'm going to show you guys step by step on how to find your vendor. Now this is definitely dedicated to the people that make your own products or looking to make your products and researching vendors. You can also take this and if you sell other cosmetic or probably sell clothing, but it's not dedicated in that area. But you may still take notes and still get some very great knowledge with finding your vendors. When researching for your vendors, these are the things that you should keep in mind. Search for the exact thing that you are looking for. Please also remember that you might have to make changes while researching a product and or a vendor. We are looking for an electric overhead stirrer. But when I googled it, I searched up the word electric stirrer. And as you can see, it is several different things that is not what we're looking for. So now I clear whatever I searched up and then I googled electric stirrer for cosmetic making. Boom! We found it. As you can see, you can see several things that might even still not match what you're looking for, but the fact is that you found it now. And I also want to put out this that when having a business, books are really helpful and searching on the internet. Yeah, you can go to other people, but you really want to learn for yourself, especially business is kind of like college. You know how like when you have homework, college teachers don't really teach you how to do it. You're basically teaching yourself and that's basically what business is about. Teaching yourself. You can go to different people, but you really won't learn until you actually take the time out and just research everything on your own. Which walks me into the next things I am going to say. Be patient when finding vendors. You're not going to always find things on your first search. It might take days, weeks, even months to find a good vendor or something that you really, really are looking for. But be patient. When looking for your ingredient vendor and once you have found that vendor, now it's time to do research on that vendor. For example, making cosmetics, making cosmetics is one of my ingredient vendors that I have found. Now I am going to look further into their business, going through their website, learning things, their stories, everything that I need to know as a consumer and also making cosmetics for my customers. I need to know what this business is about and what are their core values as a business. So I read there about us, Tav. Look at their privacy notice terms and condition and look at their website all around. Next, I am going to look up reviews about the vendor and as I googled making cosmetics, a bunch of YouTube videos came up. So then I see that they have a YouTube channel scrolling looking at their YouTube channel, looking at their videos and then also I'm looking at what other people have to say about this brand. You guys, please remember that all tools that we have are in fingertip reach. And what I mean by that is back in my parents days, they used to have to use Ecclipidias, dictionaries, other books. But we actually have it in our, if we don't want to pick up a book, we can literally go to the internet, search something up and it's right there. Internet is basically the book, but a quicker and easier book to use. And we have to use that to our advantage. If you have questions, call your vendors, ask them, email them. You might not be able to call them, but email them, ask them question. Maybe you would like to sample a product. You can always email or call them and ask them how does sampling ingredients work or how does sampling a product work. And any other questions that you might have about the business or how they maybe ship things or package your order, I don't know, ask, ask questions. It's always cool to ask. You can ask the phone or you can ask the email, but for you to get a understanding about what the business does and what you can and cannot do with this business. And then you can see if you actually want to still work with them or not. Okay, so now that we got into how to look up your vendors, that is pretty easy. I think that is pretty easy on how to look up your vendors and doing research on them, asking them questions. Now I am going to hand you guys some vendor that you can research on and possibly use it for your business. For ingredients, we have bettershaybutter.com.
