Business of selling books

How different would be the business of selling books be different in this new decade of information flow and information anxiety?

Some general thoughts:

Concept: Sell good books, rare books, in tamil and english. Make searching, selecting, previewing and buying/shipping EASY & FAST

- Start small, set a small team(3) to build the site and upload content. This will include 2 programmers, 1 UI expert and 1 business expert(sales)
- Set a backoffice to procure books, build inventory and courier the books
- Start a blog to discuss how the business can be done and keep posting religiously.
- Spend quality time getting the UI and task flows right for the online and offline tasks
- UI should be usable RIA
- Experts in a domain and keep moving on
- Share the results with the world


Who should work with us

Basic Work Ethics

- Being a professional/being a geek - u decide
- Keep learning - always. Open to trainings, publications, courses, workshops. Initially work and accomplish stuff and go for a training. Accomplishments translate into appreciations
