Hello,
I am assuming many of you are familiar with Groupon or sites similar to it? Well, I'm considering doing a Groupon "clone" site. Obviously, I don't want to do exactly what they are doing. I have identified a niche market with a real need. My quick research online showed no major players in the category or style I am looking to do.
My question is: Is this a Fastlane business model?
I have found a need
It will effect a lot of people
It can be leveraged
I will be in control...except for the programming (but I've found numerous sites that have templates)

There is another "angle" that I am looking into as well. There seem to be a number of "aggregator" sites that bundle all the deals into one place. My other question is, would it be better to focus more on collecting and presenting deals (aggregating) or going out to business and teaming up with them to offer the deals (like groupon)? Two different things.
Thanks in advance.
