Hello All and Merry Christmas,
I just read an old forum about somebody wanting to start a rebate site and it was recommended that they steer clear from the idea. The thread was over a year old and I was wondering if that was still the consensus?
A few of the problems mentioned included the fact that there are a bunch out there already and many of them are very generic. This posed the problem of getting noticed and being different from the crowd.
Do you think it is possible to seperate a new site from the group if they continued to offer a wide variety of offers? Maybe the theme or goal could be changed. I have a few ideas for this if anyone would talk one on one with me about them I would love that.
I have also been wondering what the cost would be and what kind of profit a rebate site can expect. I understand that if you are only keeping a small percentage of the commission you would need a great deal of traffic to come up with anything worth while. I did read an article earlier stating that ebates.com was expected to pay back something like 20 million dollars this year alone in rebates. If they are making even a few percentage points of that total I think it would be a worth it.
I am all ears to everything you have to say. The good and the bad.
Thank you all in advance.
