How SaaS Deals Works
SaaS Deals is an alternative to lifetime deals. We only do discounted monthly or annual subscriptions.

| Company Valuation | Decreases. LTD customers are a liability not an asset. | Increases. Subscription customer are an asset |
| Integration | You have to write code | Create a simple stripe discount code. |
How It Works
You create a discount code. We promote it. We take 30% of the revenue from customers that sign up using the discount code. That's it.
- No integration required
- Share read-only access to Stripe
- We make $$ when you do (only on those customers that use the special code you create)
We will ask you to help with the following:
- Create a post with images in a google doc highlighting your product
- Create a video of you sharing the product and talking about it.
- We will schedule one 30-minute video session to talk about the product
Basically we will need your help creating some assets to go promote like the blog post, videos, etc. At some point I'd also like to experiment with social selling and see how it goes.

FAQ
- Refund policy - We do 30 day refund policies. You should honor that. It's just good business.
- Do you run ads for me? Yes.
- Are you exclusive? Can I do my own thing too? We're not exclusive. Do whatever you want to.
- How long do i keep the discount code live for? 1 month minimum. Or longer if you'd like.
- What happens if nobody pays? Then you owe nothing!
- How many subscribers do you have? We're new! I think we can get to a few thousand in a few months. As one of the first deals we promote, we're going to be running ads for you and invest in growth to make it worth your while.
- Isn't this new / starting from scratch? Yep, it sure is. The first few are going to be tricky. I have 10k followers on X and 12k on LinkedIn. That should help but we're going to have to work together on these first few.
- If the customer keeps paying monthly do I pay you guys still? yeah. We get 30% but only from customers we bring you.
- If the customer does an annual subscription do i pay you once? Yeah. assuming that discount code expires after the 1 year, you pay us once for the new annual sub customer, and that's it.
- Isn't paying you guys going to be a pain in the a$$? At first. We may build something to make this easier in the future.
