NYT article on selling coupons online

The founder of this site was a former retail site programmer.

When making online purchases prior to 2003, founder Scott Kluth became
frustrated by constantly leaving the coupon code box empty because that
blank code meant someone else was getting a better deal. Formally a retail
site programmer, Kluth knew that consumers shared this same frustration
when making online purchases. He decided to create a Web site that
collected Internet coupon codes, giving online shoppers one place to check
for coupons before making a final purchase. Since it's launch in 2003,
CouponCabin.com has been a leading online coupon destination, providing
coupon codes and deals to over 2 million unique visitors each month.
Scott Kluth launched CheapUncle in 2007.
 
they aren't selling coupons retard.

If you want to get into a truly oversaturated niche, start a coupon site.
 
retailmenot (same group that created bugmenot) is another good place to find coupons.

You are the idiot.

Do you understand what the word "selling" means? People are finding coupons on his site and every time they use them, he is getting a commission (aka SALES check) from these retail stores. That IS selling.

What do you think he's doing? giving away coupons for free and not charging for the transaction?

Quote from article:
Many of the coupon sites are run by Web entrepreneurs who see a business opportunity in collecting online discount codes at one site. They earn a commission from the retailer when a customer makes a purchase.

If anything, they are selling the product, not the coupon. Your response makes you more of a retard.

You really are a fucking idiot. Did you even read the article? read the article before you comment. They are NOT selling the products! Kluth is not selling products.

I need to move on because this discussion is clearly not productive.

OK, so if you create a landing page to sell shamwow, you are selling a landing page, not the shamwow.

Is your iq beneath 50?
 
These are about 100 business plans in that article. For any of the affiliates confused about how to make money in this current economy, here are a lot of great ideas that can be very small or built out very large.

even though there are a ton of coupon sites, there are many niche's to fill, and many good ideas that can be done better than what's out there.
 
I doubt that many retailers are specifically contacting CouponCabin with coupons... jump on CJ, grab their feed and you too can have the same thing.

That article just goes to show how little the real world knows about affiliate marketing, which is a great thing for us.
