    You mean you want to start a site like slickdeals? There's a lot of offers to promote you just need to get creative or you can always go with adsense.

    You can't just start a DEALS site. You have to find how your site is different than the millions of other deals site. Then name your site that.

    Once you know what your niche is, then you can look for CPA offers.

    For example... ipod-deals.com then you can offer the "sign up for a free i-pod" stuff.

    Okay, so I have to focus on one niche? And where I can find discount codes/ coupons?

    Do you have any good source or I need to contact my affiliate company just to know if they have a new coupons/discounts?

    keemuph, did you spend some time for research? If you make just another deals/coupons site, it will die even before you launch it.

    You can pull coupons/deals from RSS feeds from different sites and display them. The downside is updating expired deals.

    You will not succeed at this without stealing others content/deals. Even that will only get you frontpage type stuff. The userbase drives a good part of the deals posted.

    You are not going to be a fatwallet, slickdeals, bensbargains type of website.

    If the start of your research is asking other people how to do your research then perhaps you should pick another niche.

    I'm afraid it will lead nowhere. It's the same thing like scrapping any other kind of feeds (software news, business news, etc.) and displaying them on your site. At the end of everything, it will be just another junk site.

    You could try but I have to tell you that this niche is SATURATED. There are just way too many deals websites out there to compete with.
