An Internet Business Created in Minutes
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 website Zlio.com.
“It was real easy,” says Pangelinan (43), who lives in Columbus, Georgia.
He says 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,” says 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.

I think it´s a great idea when you “just” got to promote your shop and the shipping is down by a other company.
