You should be very careful if you're selling something you don't have, you almost certainly violate the terms of your payment provider and depending on where you live you might be committing fraud.
If only there were some way to monetize with a loving helpful mentor who wishes nothing but the best for the most productuve years of my life!
I don't get entirley what he did to validate his idea for AppSumo. He got 200 new customers for imgur which pay 25$/year (to imgur) and he payed imgur 3$/user for this? Didn't he loose money then?
+ replicating what AppSumo does is not that hard, you need a decent site with some deals on the page. The Deals you get by emailing entrepreneurs or devs of any product out there. There are many struggling devs and companies which would love to cut you a deal as far as they are getting sales and customers.
I love when they demistify entrepreneurship and give some insight in how to start. (especially when a concrete marketing advice is give)
Overall as with all posts on Tim's blog - they are generally great. Just, take them with a grain of salt.
