You are swimming against the tide my friend.
the market is that flooded in western countries the only way to get bussiness is to under cut everybody else and then the price bottoms out.
have a  look at Ebay or amazon or alibaba.for your market research.
unless you can find something that you can do better you are wasting your time.
sorry to be the one to pull the blanket out from under you but have a look for yourself
best of luckcrying

Alibaba, Chinavasion are by far the leading exporters. If you are Chinese and want to export you would not only have to beat the prices of these powerhouses but ensure that the products you are selling are legit or no names instead of copies and with money back or trade in if the product is a bad

It is not as easy as what you make it sound. When you enter the export market, you need to meet many governmental and legislative requirements regardless of the size of business you are running. If  you try to by-pass the regulations, you are committing a serious criminal offence. You need a business licence that specifically includes export within the scope in addition to obtaining the necessary papers every time you send items abroad.

 

You should also consider that you are liable for the goods you supply. For example, if you supply toys and a piece breaks off hurting a child or they choke on some loose part, you carry the responsibility as you are the exporter. Claims against you could be hundreds of thousands of dollars in some circumstances, maybe even more. You may also face criminal prosecution.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
