Are you making money with Groupon offers without offering a physical
product? If so, I'd love to hear about it. I want to do this but need some
ideas.

I saw an offer on another forum for a report & video about some guy who
allegedly made something like $100K in one day! He was selling a seminar
about internet marketing to interested parties.

The report is getting slammed by many buyers for not being worth a damn
due to the lousy audio quality and the lack of actionable content.

Anyway it got me thinking of other ways for us IMers & aff. mktrs. to make
money by offering digital products. But I don't think Groupon is really
useful for selling ebooks or videos.

How about offering virtual services like writing, SEO, backlinking, customer
service, driving traffic to a site, webmaster/website services, etc?

Do you have any ideas on how to make $$$ with digital or virtual services?
 


Simply put, I dont believe Groupon Users are your ideal target market for any of the digital products or virtual services that you mentioned. Nor is Groupon interested in selling/marketing those kinds of offers.

Sending an offer for backlinks or cheap SEO content to 100,000 bored housewives isnt what I would suggest you spend your time and money doing.
 
But what about a revolutionary weight loss program with your own virtual coach reachable by chat, email, and phone. Monthly updates with new recipes and menus, tips, videos, etc. Plus a membership forum.

Groupon: 53% discount: $9 instead of $19 for a 1-month membership.

Send email reminders to members as their memberships are ending. Offer a discount for auto rebill and the typical payment options -- eg. 3 months for $57, 6 months for $85, etc.

BONUS: Get a celeb endorsement.

If it works in one city, rinse and repeat in others.

PS. Groupon might not run shit like this.
 
@Spades: Now that's a GOOD idea!

Or how about offering access to a membership site in a weight loss niche,
or in a coupons niche, or in an eBay niche. I bet many Groupon users dabble in eBay.

Hey don't knock our video we spent a lot of money producing that. You should be happy we give it away for free here on WF.

We charge Groupon users.

Just because you've been here for two weeks doesn't mean you can call free shit bogus. GTFO now before we share anything cool with you again.
 
Ya know, I don't think it's a stupid question.

IF Groupon would run offers (like Spades suggests) I could see it being a really viable strategy. Fuck, it's a digital product, Groupon only takes a cut of the profits for payment, you'd have to either be a total fucktard or try really hard to lose money on a deal like that.

That's IF they'd run them, which I highly doubt. Although I could be wrong.

Apparently, you have to have a physical location to offer a product or service
from. The guy offering the seminar had a business where his customers came in
and heard the seminar and probably got some written material too.
It doesn't look like a digital product is going to work with Groupon.
