How, you ask?
Affiliate/Partner programs!
If you've ever wondered why someone's link to Coupons.com doesn't have the word 'coupon' in it anywhere, it's because it's an affiliate link. And non-blogger readers, don't feel duped! Understand that blogging takes a LOT of time and the little kickback (sometimes as little as two cents, literally) is hard earned, wouldn't you agree? :-)
Here are the affiliate programs I work with and what I use them for:
MySavings Media: Offers payouts for Coupons.com, Redplum, CouponNetwork, Cellfire, SavingStar, Coolsavings, Ebates, FreeFlys, various survey sites, Vistaprint and more.
Escalate Network: Includes Coupons.com, Redplum, Cellfire, survey sites, online games, other sites also offered by MySavings, Sunday Coupon Preview and lots more. So if they offer much the same, why have both? Because one may run a campaign for Home Depot and the other not, or one might have a $.50 per print sessions payout while the other only has $.35 per print session.
WeUseCoupons: Earn when a new user signs up as well as every time someone clicks your link. There are sooo many different posts you can include a link to WUC for! The database (if you don't have one of your own), a specific post, to thank a poster for that particular blog posts info... anything you find on WUC, you could stick your affiliate link in the post.
Commission Junction: Use for Upromise, coupons.com (called "coupon bar" on there), groupon and other daily deal sites. They also offer tons of online shopping sites, which would be great to have if you plan to cover Cyber Monday deals.
Google Affiliate Network: Soap.com, diapers.com, beautybar.com, target (for printable coupons - no payout for prints but bloggers use it just in case a printer shopped online as well), tons of online shopping places like CJ.
