If you wouldn't mind I would love some feedback on this. I haven't made a sale yet and I am not sure why. ANY feedback is appreciated!

My first thought was "hope you're good at baking cookies." >I haven't made a sale yet and I am not sure why. Is "14 OFFERS SOLD!" BS then? One small thing: the "what's hot" products on the right looked like third party ads. Maybe it's just me.

  Yeah the 14 offers sold is just to make the website not look like a ghost town. Put some activity on it. That's great feedback on the sidebar thanks.

    Love the honesty there. You should've said 114 then. Heck, how about 1140?

      Go all the way: either "N" or an empty text field.

    Integrity is a handy thing in business. Just hide the "X amount shown" until it's greater than 10. Don't put a false number there.

How much traffic? A lot of competition in that space won't help.

  Not a lot! Struggling with marketing at the moment. We are running multiple facebook ads and we are about to approach our local newspaper. Not sure what else to do. Google Ads?

    I was one of the founders of itsadeal.com.au, we've since stopped about 6 months ago to pursue other ventures. I would strongly advise against a newspaper ad, we went down this path and for $500, this got us about 5 subscribers. Google ads work, but remember to tie them into something you can make money off. It's not smart to compete using keywords such as "daily deals" unless you have a sizeable budget. A better approach is to customize ads which sell your products and if you have something with a large margin you should be able to come out on top (more effort, but much better ROI).

    That's why you don't have a lot of sales then. I wouldn't be rushing to spend big on ads until the site was settled and smooth. If you can get a few niche products running at once and get some ads promoting that field, you might have some luck.
