Affiliate Networks - How to create a Deal and/or Coupon Site

You know, We know, everybody loves a deal, and as you probably know, ‘deal and coupon sites’ are on top of the world. Not everyone! why?
We suggest taking some time to develop a sound strategy before you start your own.
Here are some good tips to start a site:

Have bargains, specials, deals, rebates, or coupons on site.
Timeliness is must. Deals must include expirations dates. Deals and Coupons posted on site should be recent, atleast weekly if not daily.
Ability to add and remove deals as per your requirement.
The deal price should be a truly a deal.
Post new deals and coupons that have just been released.
Post deals and coupons that are set to expire soon or deals on fire.
List shipping and/or taxes if possible.
Combine rebates and/or coupons to bring the price down to make a best deal.
Add a small priced item to a hot selling product to qualify for a coupon. For example if iPod is priced at $240 and you have coupon for 25% off of $250 or more for a merchant then add a iPod accessory of $10 or more to qualify for a great coupon. Yeah! see now you are thinking?
Run good short-term bargains. These maximize site exposure.
