    You can create a business that will be a clone of another, but in this case you have to try highlight your offer from the other. The order of priority on the internet is very visible. Those who have already started getting easier to market. Group shopping is a niche firmly planted, you will need a lot of time, commitment and money to achieve good results.

    Don't launch another Groupon clone site, this niche is already saturated. Come up with another unique business concept if you wish to sell coupons or deals from other small businesses online to the masses. Most Groupon clone scripts will have bugs which are a headache in themselves to fix since the script developers usually offer little to no support in bug tracking and fixing issues that may arise with their script. I know you have it in you to come up with a new concept or deal. That's my 2 cents.

    To be loyal, groupon clone is working out world wide and its happening across, but it's a big question what its future be, try with different concept, i don't say that you should not hold a groupon clone website, its worth only with newer thoughts. Research you can find out who is best in offering groupon clone script.

    I would think that unlike a groupon clone, a great service would be able to find you the best worldwide deal on your product.

    I've done this with quite success. Sure I didn't made millions, but more then enough ... I did.
    I would suggest to go for a 3rd party script at first. If you have success think of your own custom script.

    You might go mad updating the site and finding the offers with a groupon type site. If you only go for normal coupon type of site ( like retailmenot ) there are automatic ways to update/delete/market the coupons.

    If you want to start your own SMALL company, Than you must go for 3rd party company, because now a days this business has very powerful competition and for that i suggest don't go directly for your own site, because it need much investment and man power to manage the site, It's better if you choose 3rd party script at starting of your business. Than if you get good profit and interest than you should think about your own and most important thing, Your site must have some unique features...

    Yes, You Can, but check its popularity, no any dummy information in privacy policy, terms of use, about us, office locations, payment methods, contact information, customer support. every small thing you can check deeply and then you can trust.

    The problem with this kind of business is that you have to call the sellers and ask for offer. That is work.
    You should consider the classic coupon area cause there advertiser send you offers to you - so all you have to do is promote them.
