<p>You make money by sharing the commission on the sales you refer with <a href="http://www.zlio.com">Zlio</a> - when a customer clicks on a product in your store, they are offered the option of buying the product from a range of Zlio's merchant partners. </p>
<p>Zlio has a good range of merchants to choose your products from, with 75 from France and 25 from the US, including Amazon and Buy.com. </p>
<p>The service launched in the US recently, with a UK version planned shortly. </p>
<p>
<em>We talked to Ornella Nomber of Zlio to find out a little more...</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Can you summarise how Zlio works?</strong>
</p>
<p>You just need a few minutes to create your Zlioshop. You choose a shop name, pick a template, then start adding products. You can choose from the product catalogues of our partners, which includes <a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.ice.com">Ice.com</a>, <a href="http://www.buy.com">Buy.com</a> and others. </p>
<p>Then, whenever a product is sold on the partner website through your Zlioshop, you earn commission.<br /><br />You will need to attract Internet users by customizing your shop, giving advice on the products you sell, promoting it throughout the Internet (as you did for your blog). </p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>How did the idea for Zlio come about?</strong>
</p>
<p>We wanted to launch a Tupperware like system on the Internet. Every customer can become a reseller very easily. On Zlio, you are not selling only plastic boxes but every kind of products. <br /><br />Zlio has been founded by Jeremie Berrebi, a famous French internet serial entrepreneur.</p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>How many are in the Zlio team?</strong>
</p>
<p>Eight people, but we are now hiring more people in Israel and the US.</p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
<br />
<strong>
<br />How many users does Zlio.com have? Are the users mostly in France?</strong>
</p>
<p>More than 60,000 Zlioshops have been created. Most of them have been created by French users - around 50,000. The reason for this disparity is that our service was launched in the US two months ago while it was launched in France last September. </p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>How do I make money if I use your service? Could you explain the commission structure?</strong>
<br />
<br />On our French website, two business models are available - CPA, where you earn commission on every sale, and CPC, where you earn money on every click that leads from your Zlioshop to a partner's website. <br /><br />For the time being, only the CPA model is available for US users, but the CPC one will be available very soon.</p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Who do you see as your competitors?</strong>
</p>
<p>We have 2 competitors but our market positioning is very unique. <a href="http://chitika.com/">Chitika</a>, with its Shoplinc product, is dedicated to websites and blogs that want to add a shop (Zlio is dedicated also to people who don't have a website at all). <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/1000027671">Amazon aStore</a> is selling only Amazon products and its customisation features are also very simple.</p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>What is the benefit of using your service over an Amazon shop?</strong>
</p>
<p>30 merchants, a comparison price system integrated into each product page and a lot of customisation features.</p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>How is Zlio funded?</strong>
</p>
<p>Zlio is funded by its three founders and will very soon close a new first fundraising round. </p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>How has the US launch gone so far?</strong>
<br />
<br />We're very satisfied by the number of new users who sign up to our service every day. But we're still improving the service - adding new merchants, new features, and soon the CPC model - and we're convinced we'll attract even more users in the next few months. </p>
<p>
<strong>----------------------</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>What's planned in the next 12 months for Zlio?</strong>
</p>
<p>Opening the service in the UK and more countries, very big partnerships with big social networks & communities, and a lot of new shops.</p>
