For product sourcing practice, first write a proposal (template) in which you mention all relevant information about you and your business although it will be imaginary. After this login into Alibaba as a buyer, and select any random product and find its supplier according to criteria and shortlist five (it's up to you) suppliers from them and mold your proposal according to your product and send them. You will get response from them, start negotiating with them and try to get good rates from them in which you discuss everything like customization, packaging, logo printing, shipping cost (DDP), etc. Once you get good rates, say them I will contact you later and end your conversation. In the same way, you can practice for different products, if you want shipping exposure get a sample from anyone, and ship it to Pakistan you will learn the shipping process but you have to pay shipping cost.

 In the start no one gives you access to seller central. I am sharing a method through which you can get good exposure to this, if anyone of you belongs to a computer science background he must be aware of 𝘿𝙧𝙮 𝙍𝙪𝙣, before making actual code first code is written on the paper for practice. You have to implement the same technique for seller central. Suppose we take the example of 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜, open any video from youtube of listing uploading, run it from the beginning and start to draw each step on paper, follow him and highlight where he is pressing the button and draw each step on paper, at the end you will have a complete picture of the uploading process. Repeat it several times you will become master of listing uploading when you will get real environment there will be nothing new for you, you can do it easily. Same way you can practice for different scenarios, you will get exposure for seller central this is your real hands-on for which you a stuck and not moving forward.

      Start practicing in this way, find new techniques, enhance your knowledge related to the field, explore different marketplaces, help the people and think out of the box because opportunities are finding you.
