From absolute beginner to spreadsheet veteran in 90 days
Follow the complete AllChinaBuy spreadsheet learning path: beginner basics, intermediate optimization, advanced automation, and power-user strategies in 90 days.
Week 1-2: Foundation
Your goal is to place two successful orders using only green rows in the Hot Picks tab. Read the Beginner's Guide and the Step-by-Step Tutorial. Learn the color code system. Understand how to read community notes. Apply your first coupon. Do not worry about batch codes, agents, or shipping optimization yet. Focus on building confidence and understanding the basic workflow from spreadsheet row to delivered package.
Week 3-4: Building Comfort
Place two more orders, this time using the Full Catalog tab with filters. Sort by rating and price simultaneously. Start reading batch codes and understanding that the same item name can mean different quality levels. Join the community Discord and read without posting. Observe how veterans discuss sizing, shipping lines, and factory names. Build your personal tracker with the Beginner Tracker template.
Week 5-8: Intermediate Skills
Learn to compare batch codes across sellers. Start using conditional formatting in your personal tracker. Experiment with two different shipping agents on small orders to compare costs and delivery speed. Read the Intermediate Tips article and apply at least three of the five tips. Submit your first community report on a recent order. This is the phase where you transition from consumer to contributor.
