Coupon for Bloggers – Best Way to Save Money for WordPress Bloggers
For those who just started blogging, the cost of setting up WordPress blog can be pretty high for some of us. Bloggers that will definitely feel the impact are especially for those who want their WordPress blog looks great but at the same time, they are in country which the currency makes them to be at the losing end.
However, in this internet age, it is almost possible to get something at a lower cost if we know the way. Rather than have to pay the full price, we can at least save few dollars which can be used for the purchase of other products, for example.
Online coupon site – The best place to start
For those who do not know, there are a lot of online coupon sites which you find discount coupons for most of online products in the internet. The most popular online coupon site is RetailMeNot. For your information, I have saved a lot from the coupons that I found in the site.
However, to find online discount coupons that are related to WordPress can be tough as in the site such as RetailMeNot have no specific area allocated to WordPress. So, it can take a lot of our time to find discount coupons for WordPress related products from what RetailMeNot claimed, 50000 online stores.
Coupons for Bloggers – Online coupon site for bloggers
For your information, there is new online coupon site, Coupon for Bloggers that has just been launched by the owner of WpRecipes.com, Jean-baptiste Jung. The best part is the coupons that are being listed are only for blogging related products. So, it would be easy for to find any interesting coupons which can save a lot of money if know how to use it well enough.
For your information, the coupons are being categorized into 5 groups. They are:
Hosting – For those who are planning to buy new web hosting for their WordPress blogs
Domain names – For those who want have new domain names for their latest blogging project
WordPress – For those who are looking for premium WordPress themes and plugins to make their blog looks and works better
Ebooks – For those who want to broaden their knowledge and skills on blogging
Blogging tools – For those who are looking for blogging tool such as Aweber for newsletters
Need other alternative?
Besides the normal online coupons site like RetailMeNot to get bargain on blogging related products, there is also another online coupon site that you can go. It is called Theme Coupons.
As compared to Coupon for Bloggers, this site focuses on more specific area i.e. premium WordPress themes. However, this site is still new and not many coupons that are available for the users. I expect that this site will grow bigger and have more coupons in few months time when the site gets the attention of the WordPress communities.
Have you use online coupon site?
Do you usually visit online coupon sites first before making any online purchase? Which site that you usually go? And what do you think about the two new online coupon sites which have been set up specifically for bloggers?
Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences. I am eager to know more about them.

Thanks for the kind words about Coupons for Bloggers! I launched the site almost a month ago and it already helped many people to save a lot of money
No problem. I am happy to share something that can help WordPress bloggers especially in terms of financially.
Cheers! Great to have you here. Hope to see you again soon!
Helmi, thanks for the mention of ThemeCoupons.com. I’ll be adding more discounts this week – stay tuned.
And, great to be in the company of Jean-Baptiste as well. Great site, btw!
Is it great to have you and Jean-Baptiste over here. I will definitely wait to see what are the latest coupon you are going to add this week.
By the way, I just want to let you know that I just launched a great news. interested in joining? It will be great to see you as part of the contest.
One thing about all this coupon is that the price to pay for the product is still very premium because it is in USD even though the offers are already pretty good.
I guess it is still not suitable for Malaysian bloggers to shop for premium wordpress themes although we always dream to have one.
Hopefully someday I’ll get to buy one, or even win one
I think good theme is a good investment if you are serious with blogging.
Even though we are form Malaysia, we must not make our disadvantage as our weakness. There are a lot of successful bloggers which the currency make them at the losing end.
Actually, I know pretty a lot of bloggers from India who make good money out of blogging.
Whew! That was informative, hope to improve my blog with those coupons.
There are couples of sites from malaysia that probably make lots of money like hongkiat and naldzgraphics. And you could use elegant themes. They are just 20.
Wow, I didn’t know there were coupons for websites. I am going to use this on wpwebhost
. You saved me a lot of money. Thanks!
Hi Maria,
Great to have you here
Hope you can save a lot of with the coupons that you get from the site.
Cheers!
Very good post. Thanks.
coupons for bloggers? wow I never would have even thought to search for something like this is a great resource. I wonder how often the site is updated. I’m going over to check it out.
I’d just grab the coupons if they are offering really good bargain like 70% off on a premium theme. But I guess that’s just my wild fantasy
wow, coupons are always the smarter way to shop, even online. However, it’s quite pricey for us Malaysian as it’s in USD currency
how much difference in currency in us and malaysia. It could be like an investment
it seems like we are all at a disadvantage. Even here in america with the recession.
@elvin
yup. u got that right. to us, a 10% discount doesn’t really make a big difference.
@kushal chap
1 USD = 3.4 MYR. for a WP theme costing 30USD is a lot already.
I guessthis would benefit you a lot on your next purchase
Actually I think it is more of an advantage if you are from a different country. For example, after you buy a theme if you make money its gonna be a lot more there than it is over here.
Me too, I never thought about using coupons.
Think of it in a positive way.
If you start making money then its gonna be a lot more too.
why would it be more if you start making money?
That is true cause you will be tapping into a different currency.
Good post on coupon shopping. A colleague of mine wrote a similar post at http://www.savemoneymonthly.com/posts/coupon-shopping/. She focused more on how to do it. This post coincides perfectly.
