The Way To Develop A Discount Website Using WordPress
Step 1) Get a name and a host
The first step in the process is very simple, you need to find a unique URL and somewhere to host it. There are ample of website hosts round, look either for one that offers 1-click WordPress installations or at the very least could provide a MySQL database. Create your account, register a URL and that’s the first step complete.
Step 2) Create the website
Perhaps a little more work here! If you have a 1-click installation from your hosts then fine, else go to wordpress.org, download the latest release, unzip it and FTP the files following your host’s instructions. You will also need to create the database and update the config file to provide logon details.
Next, whichever step you are using you give the site a name and create your user id. Don’t use ‘Admin’ as the user id, instead use something tricky to guess and use a strong password. Protect that weblog!
Step 3) Make it look nice
Search the internet for some free WordPress themes and download some, install them and try them out. You want that web site looking the best it can do, not as even though it was put together in an hour (which it was!).
Step 4) Find a few coupon codes
Sign up to a few big affiliate networks (join local affiliate forums to find the recommended sites) and start joining merchants. A few of these will email you codes.
But it is also well worth go directly to non-affiliate merchants and signing up to their newsletters and adding their vouchers. You aren’t going to get paid for these, but not so numerous people will publish them. This means that stacks more people will find your website through these rarer coupon codes an it gives your users more value. This means they are more likely to stick with you!
Step 5) Publish the codes
When you have a code to display, create a new post. Include the full coupon details and an affiliate link to the merchant’s web site. You could use the WordPress category structure to categories your vouchers, perhaps by merchant name or product type (or both). As for instance, traffic looking for sports shoes might then click the relevant category and see what’s on offer.
Take this a step further and use the tags to mark posts with various end dates. Stacks of merchants don’t allow you to display old vouchers, so you can use the tags to group expired offers so that you might quickly go in to the old posts and edit them, or at least mark them as expired!
