Opening up a store

If you want to get started right away click here.... - Create a store with Zlio

Reading the news on the Internet is the best way to get ideas. However if you are reading about it then someone has already thought about it. It goes back to the "being the first" idea. So one day I stumbled upon this web site Zlio . What this web site does is it allows you to create a website store without holding the inventory. The company allows you to setup a web site and manage the products you want to sell on your own website. You add the products you want to promote. When someone clicks on it, it refers the person to the vendors site. If the person buys the product, then you would receive 3% to 10% of price of the product. The vendor takes care of the shipping and charging the person. All you do is collect the commission. On average according to the article I read people can make up to $300 a month, that is some good beer money!! For the top people you can earn up to $3000. It wont cost a thing.

Once your shop's up and running, all you need to do is advertise it round (family, friends, your blog…) Zlio even provides all kinds of tools to help you do that. And then, when people log on and buy anything from it, you get a commission from the supplier. But best of all, you don't even need to worry about handling the product yourself – it's shipped straight from the merchant to your customer. All you ever need to handle is the cash!

So next time someone asks you where you got that incredible book/watch/shoe/couch/computer/remote controlled helicopter/etc… make sure you're be able to send them to your ZlioShop and to get your cut on the way! With over 100 000 people who have already created stores with us (some of whom now make over $750 a month!) and over 2.5 million unique visitors a month, you just can't go wrong!

Start a web business in an extra few minutes
Reuters Monday, 24 March 2008

When David Pangelinan isn't logging 14-hour days driving a fuel tanker, he's at his computer indulging his latest hobby: building a succession of online stores in minutes.

Pangelinan has built four online stores offering hundreds of products for sale, from Bulova watches to Betty Boop pillows, using the Web site Zlio.com . "It was real easy," said Pangelinan, 43, who lives in Columbus, Georgia.
Pangelinan said he's still learning the finer points of e-commerce, and spends time browsing through thousands of products on Zlio.com’s catalogue that he could sell.

"I just went in there and started jotting down the products that were interesting and caught my eye," said Pangelinan, who spends six to 10 hours a week tending to his shops.
Zlio.com , which launched in France in 2006 and in January in the United States, allows people to form online stores for free. Users can choose a name, address and template for the store they want to create and then begin displaying wares, say an iPod or a T-shirt.
It's a simple tool, with none of the typical hassle of designing a site, setting up a payment gateway and keeping stock of merchandise and shipping.
Once signed up, a new shopkeeper can choose from more than 3 million products offered by 120 merchants, including Barnes & Noble, Zappos, Gap and Apple. They can then invite friends and relatives to shop.

"It's the Tupperware party concept gone online," said Zlio.com’s founder and Chief Executive Jeremie Berrebi. "But people are defining the concept of the shop."
Berrebi, an internet journalist-turned-entrepreneur, said he meshed the idea of a Tupperware party with social recommendation features in which users turn to friends for shopping suggestions to create Zlio .

The notion of helping people create online stores is nearly as old as the commercial Web itself. Major e-commerce players eBay and Amazon.com have helped Web entrepreneurs set up hundreds of thousands of independent online stores.
Sites such as CafePress.com have been around since 1999, allowing Web users to create stores to sell personalized accessories like coffee mugs. Zlio offers a far wider range of goods for sale and takes more of a social networking approach.
Zlio also provides some marketing help. They can put a widget on their Facebook or other social networking page, or use Google Inc's AdSense software to direct traffic to their sites.

So far, people have created more than 250,000 stores, many organised around themes. One was devoted to all things red, another sold only hot sauce, a third focuses on The Beatles.

John Holsen, who runs a small publishing business in Kansas City, Missouri, recently started a shop with his wife, a yoga teacher, to sell yoga gear.
"It started as an experiment to see if I could build an e-commerce site in five minutes," Holsen said. "And you can."

He said his site gets up to 5,000 hits a month and makes about $US300-$US400 on monthly revenue of $US3,000. "You won't get wealthy off of it, but if you built enough sites, you can probably make a decent income," he said.
On average, shopkeepers make about $300 a month, but top sellers can make as much as $US3,000, Zlio.com’s spokeswoman Rachel Bremer said.

Merchants share the revenue with Zlio.com and the seller based on the number of clicks and sales. Shopkeepers display wares and can earn up to 10 per cent commission through eBay's PayPal online payment service, either on every sale or on every click generated.
They don't have to worry about shipping orders because the companies take care of it. Last year, Zlio.com’s generated $US12 million in sales for the companies with which it has tie-ups, Berrebi said.

He refused to disclose how much money the site makes. He also has seen some business interest in the site. Mangrove Capital, which was an early investor in eBay's popular Skype internet phone service, is backing Zlio.com , too.

As for the name Zlio itself, Berrebi said it doesn't mean anything. "It's just a four-letter word."
