RE: SteemDeals - A Steem Business Proposal with A Revenue Model
Im not 100% but im pretty sure fat wallet forums was the original incarnation of this business model. It also offered its own loyalty program, where you could buy shit through their site and get cash back (like ebates, who later bought them out)
IMO, there is definitely a ton potential here (both as a commercial enterprise and as a potential onramp for new steemit users)... its actually the best steem -related idea ive heard yet.
I also agree with others itt that the whole steem-X where X is your idea format is becoming tired.
Really? I had no idea ebates bought fat wallet.
Yeah, like 6 or 7 years ago... its probably been a wholly owned subsidiary most of the time youve known about it.
Before they got bought out, they had basically a pretty similar program to ebates, but much less restrictive, and there were a bunch of ways you could cycle money on like cash back rewards cards and FWF to get what amounted to free money from them.
Ebates was already the worse CB program, and they got bought out by a big japanese conglomarate called rakuten a couple years ago, and rakuten basically took them from bad to worse.
