Okay, so what is it?
I'll give you the official description from Zlio:
'With Zlio, you can open your own oline shop in 5 minutes. You don't even need to have your own products.
Zlio lets you choose from an extensive catalogue of thousands of products and allows you to design your ZlioShop quickly and easily!
Your ZlioShop can provide:
Your favorite products.
Items from your wishlist.
Products within the theme of your choice.
Products aimed towards a specific group of people (new moms, video games fans, rap music lovers, etc)
You can then offer your ZlioShop's services to your friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, on your blog, via messenger, on online forums, just like a professional vendor!
Shortly after you've set up shop, your site will automatically be referenced among the main search engines and will attract visitors with no efforts on your part!
Thanks to Zlio, anyone can run their own store without ever having to worry about deliveries or customer service!
Join the Zlio revolution!'
My initial thoughts:
Firstly it'll take a lot longer than 5 minutes to set up your store properly.
In five minutes all you do is the basic store - but without any products. Puting on the products takes an age and quite frankly I made a right pig's ear of it. It was my own fault as I didn't really know what I wanted to sell. There are many categories and lots of products to choose from.
It's best to decide on a theme, relative to your blog, and stick with this. I didn't, unfortunately, so I'll have to start all over again when I've got some spare time. You can see my feeble attempt here: Mission Shop.
Yes, I know it's not too impressive but there are other formats to choose and I reckon it's possible to make up a decent looking website - if you have the time.
All products have a different commission rate, as they are from various suppliers. Commissions are paid to members via PayPal. There is also commission payable (10% and 5% over a further 2 levels) for referring other people into the program.
At the present time products are aimed at the USA market, though UK and Canada will be following soon.
All I can really say is that from first apprearances it looks promising providing:
(a) You make a decent job of your Zlio store regarding products, layout etc. To me it looks better than the Amazon aStore.
(b) You can get vistors to the store - same old problem to overcome.
(c) You can refer others to Zlio.
(d) You have visitors to your blog from the USA.
I'll leave it there for the present time. Hopefully, I'll be able to add something more substantial in the future.
If anyone has experience with Zlio your opinion is welcome.
Good luck,
Mike.
