Your questions answered…
We have received a huge response from our Daily Deal Builder 3.0 promotion…
Many of the exact same questions are pouring into our support desk, so I know you have many of the same ones too.
How does Daily Deal Builder 3.0 work?
DDB sets you up a platform to sell physical or downloadable products, or just coupons for those products. You can sell your own products, affiliate products, or your merchants can set up an account on your site and submit offers directly on your site which you just have to approve before they go live. The Daily Deal Builder software is a pleasure to run and it is built so that the non-technical person can successfully run their site, input offers, and manage their deal site with ease. It is also the most flexible solution as we give full back-end / cpanel access for those who may be a bit more technical. We also have a superb development team and will provide free quotes for site specific upgrades or Android, Apple, Blackberry mobile applications.
Our platform is used by clients around the globe in over 30 countries and proven to work with real success. Daily Deal Builder provides enterprise features without breaking the bank.
It is very easy to run an offer. Just input the information, upload pics or a or video, choose start date/time and end date/time and after the offer goes live, the email notification will automatically go out to the appropriate list of subscribers. DDB is really helpful for you to build segmented lists.
What’s included in the package?
– The Daily Deal Builder software
– Our traffic software called HC Traffic pro which helps you easily syndicate content across the web in an automated fashion
– Our on-going training program that teaches you exactly how to launch and grow your daily deal site
With your investment in Daily Deal Builder, you also receive 40 hours of a virtual assistant included to help you with your off-page SEO, lead generation, and overall traffic generation strategy as well as other delegated tasks. We are confident that you will not find a better training program designed specifically to help you launch and grow a successful daily deal website. We also teach you how to broker deals between daily deal sites (there are thousands out there) and merchants.
Brokering a large national deal can generate hundreds of thousands of dollars and if you are the broker who made it happen, you could generate the largest commission checks that you have ever made.
Do you help me drive traffic?
Heck yeah we help you drive traffic. Our training goes in depth into SEO, Social Media marketing, SEM, guerrilla marketing, paid traffic, and more. On top of our training in which we provide action oriented steps to take, we also provide our traffic software as mentioned above and your own virtual assistant to help you get out of the gate. We have set up everything to make it as easy as possible for you to get off the ground running. What’s cool about DDB Sites is that typically conversion rates are higher as compared to a ‘regular’ type of website.
How do I lock in deals?
We provide example contracts that you can use to lock in deals. Just update company name and how much commission you are going to get. Along with these contracts we show you the most common objections you will hear and how to overcome those objections. We give you swipe emails to use to email potential merchants, and once you are able to get off the ground successfully, locking in deals becomes much easier and many times businesses will reach directly out to you.
Why are you guys so much more inexpensive than your competitors?
We are holding a special. It won’t last long. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to see how great working with us can be and usually once a client starts using Daily Deal Builder they don’t stop using it. Your business is your business and we don’t take a percentage of your revenues. It could not be any easier to launch and grow a deal / coupon site.
How long is this promotion lasting?
It is currently scheduled to go through April. We retain the right to cut the promotion off early if we need to. We always want to ensure our support team is not too overwhelmed and able to provide the best possible support that you will find.
Do I need a registered business?
Not technically. We definitely recommend it though. We have a really cool training with our Accountant who can help you out if you need to set up a proper business structure or get your accounting in order.
Can I do this part time?
You most definitely can. We have quite a few successful clients who are doing this part time in their geographic regions. On the flip side, you can turn this into 6,7,8 figure business if that is what your heart is set on. We have clients with full sales teams working for them. The potential to grow is built in for you, but you can also do this part time and work another job if you wanted.
How long will it take me to get off the ground?
Totally depends. Once you figure out which domain name you would like to use, you submit it to us and we typically have your site built in under 24 hours. From here you need to choose your theme colors, upload your logos and background image, update your About us page, and input your merchant ID and/or PayPal credentials. Some clients order DDB and run an offer the very next day. Other folks have taken as long as 30 days and beyond to get their site launched. Follow our lead, take decisive action, and my recommendation is to run your first offer within 3 weeks from ordering.
How could I compete against the likes of Groupon and Living Social?
Don’t compete against them. Groupon is facing investor pressure, management troubles, and merchant woes. Use this to your advantage. You do not have a hundred million person userbase. Use this to your advantage. The risk is much lower for a merchant to run a deal with you as opposed to Groupon. Be flexible with them and make it so that your goal is to ensure these folks run a deal with you once a month or once a quarter.
Will deals and coupons even be around for much longer?
People have always and will always love getting a great deal. Businesses have always and will always offer some sort of deals, coupons, or promotions to acquire new customers. There will always be an opportunity to act as a middle man and help customers and businesses get what they want. It’s not going anywhere.
What other costs could I expect?
We recommend to get hooked up with a 3rd party email delivery service to experience the best possible email delivery rates. Amazon SES is incredible cost-effective. You will still be building your userbase and database inside your site, but emails will just be delivered via the 3rd party. You could also expect merchant transaction fees which range from 1.99%-2.9%. Finally, once you bring your business in the black, it could be wise to run some paid traffic to your website to help continue growth.
