Moreover, everyone wants to save money while shopping, and you can turn this desire into a profitable business by launching your own coupon website and making money from affiliate partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll explain:<\/p>\n\n\n<nav class=\"post__links\"><ol class=\"content-box\"><li><a href=\"#couponwebsite\">What is a Coupon Website?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#couponwork\">How Do Coupon Websites Work?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#couponmonetize\">Ways of Monetizing a Coupon Website<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#couponworth\">Why It\u2019s Worth Creating a Coupon Website?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#couponwordpress\">How to Create a Coupon Website with WordPress<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/nav>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"couponwebsite\">What is a Coupon Website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell, a coupon website is a platform that lists promo codes, discounts and other saving offers which are freely accessible to the public. On such websites, you can find various coupons, starting from food delivery and SPAs and ending with discounts on airline tickets, so you can finally visit your Aunt Mary in Kerrville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get a better idea of how a coupon website looks, you can check <a href=\"https:\/\/slickdeals.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">slickdeals.net<\/a>, the most popular coupon site in the USA that gets millions of daily visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Slickdeals.png\" alt=\"The Slickdeals coupon website.\" class=\"wp-image-19963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Slickdeals.png 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Slickdeals-300x188.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"couponwork\">How Do Coupon Websites Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, all coupon websites work in the same way. They collect all the possible coupons and discounts and list them in different categories. Also, new offers are emailed directly to subscribers in a daily newsletter that highlights one or more hot deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that there can be two types of coupon websites. The first is more suitable for small local or niche sites, where admins find and list discounts by themselves. The second model is used by large websites, where users are allowed to submit new offers. It is mutually beneficial since users can earn money by using a well-known platform, and the website, in its turn, always has various new offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"couponmonetize\">Ways of Monetizing a Coupon Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coupon websites can be monetized in several different ways, and we\u2019ll briefly cover each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Affiliate Partnership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All these websites are affiliate partners of the companies or brands they promote. This means that any coupon website earns a commission each time a user makes a purchase using their promo code. Moreover, if users simply follow a link to another website and buy something without even using discount codes, the coupon platform will get a commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Displaying Ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since popular coupon websites <a href=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/blog\/drive-traffic-to-a-wordpress-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">get a lot of traffic<\/a> each month, they make money by displaying different advertisements like banners, text ads, Google AdSense, etc. It serves as an additional stream of income that may be pretty lucrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selling Membership Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s probably the least common monetization model for coupons websites and can be used only for some specific niches. For example, a website may offer limited deals in a particular niche, and for many people, it\u2019s cheaper to pay a small amount for a membership plan and always get hot deals than search for them on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"couponworth\">Why It\u2019s Worth Creating a Coupon Website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It has already become a well-established business model that is gaining popularity as online shopping becomes more common. For example, as it stands in 2021, the number of digital buyers already exceeds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/251666\/number-of-digital-buyers-worldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">2 billion<\/a>, and most of these shoppers are constantly looking for coupons that can cut the price &#8211; starting from penny-pinching moms and ending with students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of a growing number of online shoppers, the most popular coupon websites in the United States are getting millions of visits every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_Stats.jpg\" alt=\"Most popular coupon websites in the US.\" class=\"wp-image-19964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_Stats.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_Stats-300x154.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(The most well-known coupon websites in the US in June 2020, based on average monthly visits (in millions).

However, besides big coupon websites, there are many niche ones that operate pretty well and make profits to their owners. That\u2019s why it may be a great business idea to choose a specific niche <em>(e.g., you can provide travel-only coupons or deals)<\/em> and focus solely on it instead of trying to overcome the market leaders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just keep in mind that it\u2019s too difficult to become a leader in the common market, so it&#8217;s better to pick a market you want to cater to and become the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"message is-info\"><p>Additionally, you may want to check our tutorial on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/blog\/create-an-affiliate-website-with-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create an affiliate marketing website with WordPress<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"couponwordpress\">How to Create a Coupon Website with WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the WordPress content management system, creating a well-functioning website became as easy as pie, even without any coding skills. However, before you can start building your WordPress coupon website, there are a few things to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy a Domain Name and Hosting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to create a coupon website with WordPress, you need a domain name and a hosting account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A domain name is simply a web address used to access your website <em>(e.g., example.com). <\/em>It\u2019s better to choose a name that indicates the purpose of your website and is easy to remember. Buying a new domain name would typically cost you anywhere between $9 and $14.99 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you need hosting for your website. Web hosting is the place where all the files of your website are stored. It\u2019s necessary to purchase a hosting plan to make your coupon site accessible to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price for reliable hosting ranges between $7 and $15 per month. If you haven\u2019t chosen a hosting provider yet, you can check the <a href=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/blog\/overview-of-the-best-wordpress-hosting-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">list of popular hosting providers<\/a> to get a better idea of the best available options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you need to install WordPress, and there are two options of how to do it properly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Automatically <\/strong>&#8211; Most hosting providers offer 1-click WordPress installation once you signed up with a hosting service;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manually<\/strong> &#8211; If you are a more experienced user and want to do everything by yourself, you can follow the official instructions to <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/how-to-install-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">install WordPress manually<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select a WordPress Theme for Coupon Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final step before getting started with your site is to select a reliable WordPress theme for a coupon website. There are many themes you can try out, but for the sake of this tutorial, we are going to use the free <a href=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/themes\/listinghive\/?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ListingHive <\/a>theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the most popular <a href=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/blog\/best-free-wordpress-directory-themes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free WordPress directory theme<\/a> that is suitable for <a href=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/blog\/how-to-create-a-directory-website-with-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">building a directory or listing websites <\/a>of any type. Since ListingHive is a lightweight and highly customizable theme that goes without any predefined fields and categories, it is a killer option if you are looking to create a WordPress coupon website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, let\u2019s move on and create a coupon website with WordPress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install ListingHive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily find ListingHive in the WordPress repository by going to the <strong>WP Dashboard &gt; Appearance &gt; Themes &gt; Add New <\/strong>section. Then use the search bar to find the theme and proceed by installing and activating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please follow this step-by-step screencast if you have any issues with installing ListingHive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Installing ListingHive | ListingHive Docs\" width=\"749\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8jg7p-ryBuo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you activate the theme, you\u2019ll receive a suggestion to install <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/hivepress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">HivePress<\/a>, a free WordPress directory plugin. It\u2019s crucial to install and activate it since it\u2019ll power most of your WordPress coupon website features. To install it, simply follow the recommended link and install HivePress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_3.jpg\" alt=\"Instaling the HivePress plugin.\" class=\"wp-image-19966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_3-300x130.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install ListingHive Add-ons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can add extra features to your coupon website by installing some of the ListingHive add-ons in the <strong>WP Dashboard &gt; HivePress &gt; Extensions<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_4.jpg\" alt=\"A list of the ListingHive extensions.\" class=\"wp-image-19967\" style=\"width:750px;height:303px\" width=\"750\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_4.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_4-300x121.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose any of 15+ extensions and install them in just a few clicks. For example, you may add the following add-ons to your coupon website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Favorites<\/strong> &#8211; to allow users to bookmark coupons on your website and get back to them later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Messages<\/strong> &#8211; to allow users to communicate with each other in case if there&#8217;s some issue with the listed coupon code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Search Alerts<\/strong> &#8211; it\u2019s a handy feature that allows users to set search alerts. For example, if they are looking for some specific coupons and there are no options yet, they can set a search alert to get notified when new discounts become available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that you can easily create a WordPress coupon website with a unique functionality by simply combining different ListingHive add-ons. All the extensions are fully optimized to work hand in hand with the theme, so no compatibility issues occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Listing Categories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, it\u2019s necessary to split your coupon website into different categories to make it easier for users to navigate it. You can add listing categories in the <strong>WP Dashboard &gt; Listings &gt; Categories<\/strong> section. You may customize a new category by filling out the following fields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>. Here you have to enter the category name <em>(e.g., \u201cFood &amp; Drink\u201d);<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hierarchy<\/strong>. Use this field if you want to turn your category into a subcategory;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Description<\/strong>. Here you may add a category description if necessary;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Category image<\/strong>. Finally, you have an option to upload the category image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When finished, click on the&nbsp; <strong>Add Category <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"807\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_5.jpg\" alt=\"Adding listing categories in WordPress.\" class=\"wp-image-19970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_5.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupons_5-279x300.jpg 279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, you can add more listing categories for different niches of your coupon website. For example, \u201cBeauty &amp; Spas\u201d and \u201cHealth &amp; Fitness\u201d. There are no limits, so feel free to add as many as you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are done with categories, it\u2019s time to add some fields specific to coupon listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Listing Fields<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigate to the <strong>WP Dashboard &gt; Listings &gt; Attributes &gt; Add New<\/strong> section to add a new custom listing field or search filter. Firstly, let\u2019s create a \u201cPromo Code\u201d field that will store the coupon code. To do this, set the field name, allow its front-end editing and select the attribute type <em>(we\u2019ll use the \u201cText\u201d type for this one)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_6.jpg\" alt=\"Adding a custom field in the WordPress coupon website.\" class=\"wp-image-19971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_6.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_6-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_6-360x180.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can define how this custom field will appear on the listing pages. Simply assign it to some template areas and set display format <em>(we\u2019ll use this one <code>%label%: %value%)<\/code><\/em>. When finished, click on the <strong>Publish <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_7.jpg\" alt=\"Setting up a display format for a custom listing field.\" class=\"wp-image-19972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_7.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_7-300x113.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s add one more field that will display the discount percentage. You can do this by following the same steps, simply click on the <strong>Add New<\/strong> button, name the field, allow its front-end editing and select the type <em>(for this one, we&#8217;ll use the &#8220;Number&#8221; type).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_8.jpg\" alt=\"Adding custom listing field in WordPress.\" class=\"wp-image-19973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_8.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_8-300x153.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then mark it as filterable and sortable to allow website visitors to filter and sort coupons. Use the \u201cNumber Range\u201d search field type to filter all coupons by a discount range instead of some specific value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_9.jpg\" alt=\"Setting up a custom listing field.\" class=\"wp-image-19974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_9.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_9-300x108.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, select template areas where you want to display the attribute and set the display format <em>(we\u2019ll use <code>%value%%<\/code> in this case)<\/em>. Once you are done, click on the <strong>Publish <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it! In the same way, you can add an unlimited number of custom fields to your WordPress coupon website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Coupons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, now it\u2019s time to add a new coupon. As we mentioned before, usually on small coupon websites, admins do everything from the back-end, but the ListingHive theme also allows you to accept coupons submitted by website users. So let\u2019s check how to add new coupons both from the front-end as regular users and from the back-end as an admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding Coupons via the Front-end<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To submit a new coupon from the front-end, go to your website and click on the <strong>Add Listing<\/strong> button. Then select any of your categories <em>(in our example, we\u2019ll choose \u201cFood &amp; Drink\u201d). <\/em>Once you pick a category, you\u2019ll be taken to the listing submission form, where you can upload the listing image and enter the coupon title <em>(e.g., \u201cDomino\u2019s Pizza\u201d)<\/em>. Then you\u2019ll have to fill in the custom fields that you\u2019ve added previously, fill in the description and click on the <strong>Publish<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_10.jpg\" alt=\"Adding a new coupon to the WordPress coupon website.\" class=\"wp-image-19975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_10.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_10-300x280.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The website admin should approve all new coupons that users submit before they appear on the website. As an admin, you can approve new listings in the <strong>WP Dashboard &gt; Listings<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_11.jpg\" alt=\"Approving new listing in WordPress.\" class=\"wp-image-19976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_11.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hivepress.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coupon_11-300x106.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that you can disable the moderation if you don\u2019t want to approve each new coupon manually in the <strong>WP Dashboard &gt; HivePress &gt; Settings &gt; Listings<\/strong> section.
