I have made a coupon site using wordpress: CouponVila There I collect lots of coupon codes from many companies or sites. The beauty about coupon site is that you can get commision when someone click, copy a coupon code, and make a purchase on mechant sites if you can running affiliate offers. (However, I don’t have much success on my coupon site so far, due to low traffic)

Getting Started:

1. Install WordPress

2. Upload and activate plugin: More fields (use for custom fields)

3. Upload and activate plugin: WP-PostRatings (use for user ratings)

Setting Up:

We need to add 2 custom fields. We can achieve it using more-fields plugin easily.

On the more-fields plugin option page, add a key named “code”, add another key named “link”. (More details see the screenshot below)
