    Groupon

    You do a lot of guessing. It is definitely apparent that customers through these channels are proportionately more likely to leave reviews. I can only speculate but I think they are generally offered a defined product when they buy the voucher. When it differs even slightly from the...

    Groupon

    You have a "limited free offer" in your signature. How does the desired outcome differ from running an offer through another channel?

    Groupon

    Discounting has been around for ever and is very powerful if its used tactically. That power can be damaging if its done the wrong way. Most small business owners have no idea what it costs to acquire a customer so the deal sites can use fuzzy math to calculate the cost of the promotion...

    How does a site like Hot Uk Deals make its money

    Pretty much. They will have exclusive deals with some of the larger companies due to volume. In terms of starting it yourself its a very easy business to start and a very difficult business to scale. You need very deep pockets to attract users or a very valuable USP.

    Starting a new career - Door to Door sales.

    This was 5 years ago. Unfortunately finance companies decided they weren't keen on taking on new customers... I sell things for other people now and do some sales and marketing consulting.

    Starting a new career - Door to Door sales.

    I had a product that I sold direct to the customer and then sold the customer on to a company with my margin added. They then collected interest free payments from the customer. I eventually moved the customer acquisition for these companies online.

    Recruitment Companies

    They're called head hunters and generally earn a lot more than a 'recruiter'.

    Linkedin & Wordpress Training Courses, Market?

    Much more than an online CV. If you're selling or looking for a job then you can go straight to a decision maker and engage with them. I regularly get hold of people who others have called and emailed dozens of times. Its more about quality interactions than quantity like the other social...

    Linkedin & Wordpress Training Courses, Market?

    Thanks for the feedback. In your line of work do you come across a lot of people who even know what cpanel is? To a large number of the business owners I meet getting a website up is seen as voodoo magic :p

    Nice site by the way webgeek. Refreshing to see a clear proposition on price and services in the SEO/social media service sector!

    Linkedin & Wordpress Training Courses, Market?

    I can do that. It would be more than £99. I would build as much value in the course and materials as possible. If they saw value in further services I would oblige but I dont have a desire to be a developer of low cost websites as a primary business.

    Linkedin & Wordpress Training Courses, Market?

    To a basic level yes. I would provide a level of support after the course as well. I am more sceptical about the Wordpress course than the linkedin one for the reason you state.
