Re: Question for...The idea man...Don Alm
John,
If I am the "so called expert" that you are referring to...I NEVER said that your site would not work. What I simply said was that its an uphill battle. Do you know anybody that regularly goes online to print off coupons? I don't. What I told you is that you need to turn your business model around and do email marketing to get people to come to your site. Other than that, you'll need to do what Don Alm said...manual marketing. Selling face-to-face. Even then, you'll find it difficult to succeed because you need to drive TRAFFIC and that can be prohibitively expensive for a start up...unless you do what I suggested (local email marketing). The reason I'm so down on a coupon site is that there are so many other types of web businesses that you could be dedicating your time to that are more profitable and that take less effort. You might consider me a "so called expert" but I've doing marketing consulting for over 9 years and internet marketing for five of those 9 years. So I do know a little bit about this stuff.
