It seems like Groupon is one of the hot startups these days. Just like ebay 10 years ago, I think Groupon clones are going to start popping up in different verticals and geographies.

Does anyone have an idea about how to build a Groupon clone? I'm open to ideas such as buying a script, wordpress plugin, or hiring someone on rentacoder. Anyone have experience with one of these or have a suggestion?

Interesting question. I think really that creating a clone is not quite what you are looking to do, but rather emulate the good aspects of the sites that currently exist and add in your own features. If you have no differentiation, then there is going to be no point in investing money in doing this venture.

As far as actually getting the site designed and built, outsourcing overseas is clearly cheaper, but requires a lot more oversight so plan on devoting more man-hours of your own time.

Hope this helps.

I'd check out sites like Rentacoder, Freelancer, oDesk, or eLance. Find programmers that that worked on Groupon clone type projects in the past. They can help you alter a script or hopefully already have a framework for pumping out "group-buying" websites.

I don't think Elance is a good platform. Too many scammers, fake profiles and reviews by providers. Make sure you search for reviews of the providers on the internet. Many of them are hit and run artists. Elance only allows employers to leave a review when the job is completed - if the project is abandoned the employer cannot leave a review - that is the flaw of the system. So buyers beware.

Top VC Pops Groupon Clone Bubble Reported by Business Insider on Thursday, 13 May 2010 (2 days ago) Business Insider Top VC Pops Groupon Clone BubbleWe're fascinated with Groupon, the group-buying site based in Chicago that gives you tremendous deals on stuff. Evidently, we're not alone.

Groupon easily raised money at a monster valuation. Groupon clones have started popping up right and left, also raising tons of money, and even group deal aggregators and more aggregators.

Jérémie Berrebi, serial entrepreneur based in Paris and Israel and partner at Kima Ventures, for one, has had enough. Kima Ventures is the new international seed fund that plans to invest in 100 startups over the next 2 years. Kima's other founding partner is Xavier Niel, the self-made billionaire founder of Iliad/Free, France's leading ISP.

Give his status as a first-tier international seed investor, few people have the global perspective on startup trends that Berrebi has. And he's fed up with Groupon clones. Here's what he writes on his blog (in French): "We've had more than a dozen intros to Groupon clones in France alone. ... We will invest in none of them. The market is saturated before it's born."

So there you have it, folks. We still believe that Groupon is cheap and that group-buying is definitely a great, sustainable business, but we agree that there will definitely be a shakeout in the sector in the coming years.

Berrebi writes further: "Large e-commerce actors will also get into the market with large qualified databases of users." He's probably right. The strength and the weakness of the Groupon model is that it is very much based on email and so the business can be replicated by someone who already has a strong opt-in commerce mailing list. Both Vente Privée in France and Gilt Groupe in the US have dabbled in grouponing. We're thinking it might interest PriceMinister.com, which recently displaced Amazon as the #1 e-commerce site in France and might be looking to boost its growth ahead of an IPO. We're also curious to see what large US e-commerce actors in this space will try.

In any case, here's the first big needle pricking the Groupon clone bubble.
