How to Build a Deals and Coupons Website (Like Wish-Vas) and Monetize It

With online shopping growing every day, deals and coupons websites are booming! If you’ve ever thought about starting your own savings-focused platform like Wish-Vas, here’s your step-by-step guide to build and monetize it—even on a budget.

🏗️ Step 1: Choose Your Niche

Don’t try to cover every deal on the internet. Focus on:

• A region (e.g. India-based deals)
• A category (e.g. electronics, fashion, groceries)
• A brand (e.g. Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra)
• Or a hybrid (like Wish-Vas: all top platforms, curated for value seekers)

🌐 Step 2: Set Up Your Website

✅ Domain & Hosting

• Register a domain (e.g. wish-saver.in) – ~₹800/year
• Use low-cost hosting (Hostinger, Bluehost) – ~₹2,000/year

✅ WordPress + Theme

• Use WordPress with the Rehub theme (perfect for deals & affiliate marketing)
• Add the Elementor page builder (free or Pro)

✅ Key Plugins

• Affiliate links manager (e.g., Pretty Links)
• Schema markup plugin (for rich snippets like ratings)
• Caching plugin (for faster loading)

🧩 Step 3: Add Deal Content

Post types can include:

• Limited-time deals
• Exclusive coupon codes
• Cashback offers
• Top 10 lists (e.g. “Best Amazon Deals Today”)

👉 Save deals as Posts, and use Elementor widgets to dynamically show:

• Latest deals
• Category-wise deals (e.g. Flipkart, Amazon, etc.)
• Featured deals

💰 Step 4: Monetization Strategies

1. Affiliate Marketing
   • Sign up for Amazon Associates, Flipkart Affiliate, Cuelinks, or EarnKaro
   • Link all deals with your affiliate URLs
   • Earn commission when users buy through your links
2. AdSense / Display Ads
   • Apply for Google AdSense after building traffic
   • Place banner ads (especially on high-traffic pages)
3. Sponsored Listings
   • Charge brands or sellers to feature their offers on your homepage or deal roundups
4. Email List Monetization
   • Send deal alerts via email
   • Promote affiliate products inside newsletters

📈 Bonus: Promote Your Site

• Share top deals on Facebook/WhatsApp groups
• Post reels or shorts with urgent deals
• Run Google or Instagram ads with high-ROI coupon codes
• Use push notifications for real-time deal alerts

✅ Final Tip

“The success of a deals website isn’t just in how many deals you post—but in how well you curate, present, and promote them.”
