    Most affiliate networks provide feed with coupons / deals from their programs. The send you a file .txt, .csv, . xml. The idea is that your coupon script will need some plugin to import all coupons in a automated way as there are a minimum of 40 offers daily ( depending on the network ).

    Get coupons by ringing up businesses- tell them it's a good promotional tool. Then they will be orgional.

    +1. Many companies are happy to provide custom coupons.

    I would create a local coupon site where you offer local businesses say one free coupon per month/week and then they pay X amount per coupon after that. Another idea is to figure out a way to get paid per coupon downloaded or printed out or redeemed. I work with a number of business owners with my pizza discount card business and every business owner i have talked with would rather pay per results rather than pay up front and have no gaurantee of any results.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I wish you all the best with your new coupon business.

    It depend. While we can see most success of coupon selling was groupon. And they do have minor down their range, which they told me that they sell coupon for vendor like something enjoy,relax and fun..for example foods, entertainment , travel and so on.
    So you get you a scope , what kind of product coupon you want to sell before you find the vendor and ask for it.
    Groupon is running profit sharing for the profit. So what your business model and what kind of thing you want to sell?
