help required regarding coupon site

By Shravan on 14 Comments / 4294 views

Hello fellow trhs members,
I am doing freelance projects in spare time. Actually I am planning to start a coupon code site ( where online shoppers can find discount coupons of online retailers). The site will be made using a coupon site script for wordpress called couponpress. I already have contacts with leading affiliate networks in India. So monetizing my site will not be a tough task. Actually I had a few doubts in my mind. It will be really helpful if someone answers them.
1) There are a lot of coupon sites in India and the competition is extremely high. Will it be possible to establish my coupon site in such fiercely competitive environment? My expectations from my coupon site are modest and even 1k-5k profit every month from affiliate marketing will be enough.
2) How to coupon sites manage to get new coupon codes on daily basis? I mean from where they get so many new coupons everday?
I will really like if members reading this discussion answer my doubts.
Regards,
Shravan

  1. You need to focus on SEO efforts and online marketing to increase your visibility. Plus with established sites like retailmenot and couponduniya and all, you need to have a unique USP. What different do you offer? If you sort this out, your long term strategy would be intact.

    For new coupons, either use submissions or automate the process wherein you can manage to get latest coupon code from websites, the former of which would be ideal(since copying coupons from other sites would not give an edge to your site)

  2. Shravan Have you Started on it yet ?

    Guess not!!

    So first find out what you need to do (Work Flow) and then Make a List of Potential Customers to start with (Vendors list separately) Do some research in the Domain and make yourself comfortable in the Driving Seat, yes the Drive would get a bit Bumpy from this point forward, so Buckle up too and be prepared for a rough ride if you really want to get on this race.

    Now if you already know How and Where your Income would be generated, the Who would come from the above exercise and the What and When can then flow in line.

    You would need to constantly keep in touch with your (Vendor) clients who would provide you the Coupons to be used for the consumption, alternatively you can also get a Call center setup to do just that. If you need more on this or any other ways to explore get in touch with me. We do this for many through Fine Directions Solutionsz or also connect with Aman Jha who is currently working on something similar as a Pilot.

    For a reference on how to go ahead and do some Smart Marketing, here is a Recent actual Case Study which took place after a Broken Mug arrived in the Courier.

    To get your Printing  done we have Ayush Agarwal from INDOVERSAL with the UV FlatBed Digital Printing machine and can print directly on any flat surface up to 8 inches thick, hes going strong from a year now and seems to be enjoying it too [almost read his blog post here as well].

    Then there are other  activities which you can take up like someone I know provides free Menus to Restaurants with putting ads and QR codes into it.Currently they have 80 Restaurants and cafes using their services. (You need to turn on your Creative juices too) Who said Entrepreneurship was easy eh ? You have to play Many Roles rolled into one, even Handle the Bull by the Horns at times too… So get ready to get Dirty!

    Now that you know somethings do Break, so you can try some other items, Diwali is coming soon too (Tip). 

    To get you started with here are a few Coupon sites :

    https://www.coupondunia.in/
    https://discountcoupons.net.in/
    https://www.couponbazar.co.in/
    https://www.couponzguru.com/
    https://www.couponsindia.net/
    https://www.fashiondiscountcoupons.co.in/
    https://www.27coupons.com/
    https://freecoupon.in/
    https://freekaamaal.com/
    https://couponsbag.in

    Ohh Yeah!! https://cashkaro.com as well 😉

    And once you have a working copy on the site, you can definitely add and make things better with the many online and Social activities that are now the norm, would leave that for the Web and Online SEO specialists in the House to add from their end !!!

    Competition makes you Evolve, so thats the better part here, try to be different and have your own USP there!! 

    Pyaas Badhao!!

    Hope this Helps somewhat 🙂 Cheers!!

  3. my god darshan!

    you are a superhuman!!

  4. Just, Your Friendly neighborhood Alien!! 😉

    Thanks Asha, adding my 2 cents if it helps anyone at all Makes my Day!

  5. sandeep – i realise you are 10 seconds old on trhs. but kindly refrain from commenting as an ad! it’s spammy 🙁 

  6. I have recently visited http://www.grabon.in . The website has good offers and discount coupons for various websites. 

  7. I have been using coupon site https://vletuknow.com from long back and seems pretty good. Used Amazon India Coupons, Snapdeal coupons, Zivame coupons and Purplle coupons etc..many times.

  8. How about a lil disclosure that you’re the owner of the above site? or did you just want to build some deep links by spamming the thread as your only contribution ?

  9. You can get Voxpop coupons also.

  10. I generally order food through Mcdonalds Coupons

  11. Hi Bro, please visit vletuknow.com or couponmama.co.in for easy coupon site creation. They are very easy interface websites. Kaaryah Coupons

  12. Hi Sir, you can best travel coupon site @ Mybustickets Coupons

  13. Hi Dude, you can visit recharge coupon site @ Paytm coupons

  14. It totally depends on your efforts. How you will reach out to the end users? Generally users go to google to search coupons or their favorite coupon site. In case of google, getting ranking for first year on any keyword is tough as market is crowded. Only way left is to advertise heavily using adwords or facebook. We at https://couponcodewa.com had to pause the work because of fund. We are redeveloping this website with new features in a hope to get some extra advantage. We will relaunch this website in coming future. Also, you need team of few people min 3-4 to get started as you need to add all latest coupons asap and then share with your readers. If you can invest 30-50000 per month then you are ready to go but just relying on Google is not going to help.

    If you can bring targetted traffic to your website, you can get profitable but it will take time!
