Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
For HoL members who fancy extra income - set up an online shop in 5 minutes
I thought since we have a good tribe of homeworkers and home-based mothers herein Harringay, there may be a little interest in this idea for the dabbling entrepreneurs amongst you.
Launched in 2006, French Zlio lets anyone set up an online shop in 5 minutes. Shop owners don't actually need to have anything to sell. They don't have to worry about stock or shipping, either, since orders are fulfilled by large online retailers like Amazon.com, eBay and Buy.com. This leaves Zlio shopkeepers free to focus on curation (selecting an appealing array of products) and promotion.
Zlio has since seen the launch of more than 350,000 stores using its service.
Recently there's been a new contender tinypay.me.
Much like Zlio, New York-based tinypay.me lets any user create a store in 60 seconds. No account is required; rather, users simply indicate what products they'd like to sell, at what prices, and whether they'd like to donate any portion of their sales to charity.
Both physical and virtual goods can be sold through the site, with pictures for those in the real world. tinypay.me then creates a unique page for each product, and an embed link lets users include those products on their own sites. All payments are handled through PayPal, with a fee to tinypay.me of 5 percent of the total sales price. If a seller donates a percentage of its sales to charity, tinypay.me donates the same percentage of its fee as well.
