DealBandy.com - Requesting & Posting Deals Online

DealBandy.com works as a question-answer exchange platform for coupon codes, free shipping deals and other money-saving offers. Users who wish to save money can make an open-ended "deal request." After a user posts a deal request, other users can answer with an appropriate free coupon or deal. Once a user lists a coupon code or deal, the user earns cash commission each time it is redeemed at an eligible store.

As an open community, DealBandy.com allows anyone to request a deal, browse deals or earn money for answering a deal request or posting a coupon. Though registration is optional, a free membership comes with special perks including a rewards program, a personalized account dashboard and a dynamic watching panel.

A little research into Google Keyword searches shows that people are looking to save money more than ever. The phrase "online coupons" is up 60% in July 2009 vs. July 2008. Search volume for the phrase "saving money" is more than double where it was 18 months ago.

Beyond suggesting that people are looking to money, this also means that people don't know where to go to save money or find online discounts. If they did, they would most likely browse directly to the page. DealBandy.com aims to be the place that people think of when they want to save money and find free money-saving offers.

“Deal Bandy is a safe, fun and FREE way to share coupons and deals, find coupons and deals and interact with other deal hunters like you! When you share the best deals you find, you have an opportunity to earn money each time someone uses one of your deals.”

No other website allows you to request a deal directly, have people answer it, and then get an e-mail when your request is answered. Currently, finding the best deal is a time-wasting experience. Thousands of people ask questions on Yahoo! Answers because they want to save time. DealBandy.com could effectively mean that consumers will save both time and money. Besides, the site offers commissions for posting deals.

How much does the commission for posting a deal amount to? Can that be modified or negotiated?
