Case Study: Zoomii and Amazon Web Services

I was reading my online newspaper site a few days ago and I came across one corner article sharing the “Website Of The Day” and that article was featuring Zoomii.com - an online bookstore featuring all the books (almost) on Amazon.com.

Also I shared with you back then my posting on “Are You Using Amazon Web Services Technology?” So happen, this site is related to what I have posted.

And for you, this is another real case study that you as an affiliate marketers or budding entrepreneurs can use as an effective business blueprint.

So let’s take a good look into this “lucrative” business model:

  1. The creator of the site has a passion for books and goes to a bookstore often. This is a niche market for him. What passion do you have that can be translated to a business?
  2. This is not a new online bookstore that’s trying to compete with Amazon.com. Rather this is a collaboration and a win/win situation for both. The creator of the site is an affiliate of Amazon Associates Program. Any sales of the books will give him a commission and a good sales relationship with Amazon.com. Ideal Affiliate Marketing!
  3. Gone are the days of deep programming… Why so? This site is hosted on Amazon Web Services - the EC2 and S3 services. If you are interested in using some of the products and services that Amazon.com is offering and will like to save time on creating a storefront (not the same as Zoomii.com).

  4. With revolutionizing technologies like FireFox 3 (loading speed) and the iPhone (the site has a few similar interface) - you do not have to worry about issues like the “site is lagging and taking donkey years to load”. What does this mean to you - you are not alone online. Whatever plans you may have for your “next big thing”, there are ready technologies that you can tap into.
  5. Making Better Money Online is faster than before. This site is just more than a month old and many are already picking up the existence of such a site. What this will mean is that if you have a feasible idea or a good affiliate product to promote - work on it, as soon as possible, and let the internet and the media pick them up for you!

There you go! So for all the affiliate marketers and entrepreneurs out there… work on your products and marketing today and make better money! And for all book-lovers out there, you have another bookstore to go to today, not the physical one but the online Zoomii.com.
