What is HotUKDeals

HotUKDeals was founded in August 2004 as a discount website with a forum nature where users can share their stories, deals, coupons and tips.

Posting Requirements

1. The number of store feedback should be more than 1,000, but it is not a hard requirement. It mainly depends on the quality of the deal.

2. The product's coupon code should be displayed on the front page.

3. The discounted price of the product must be lower than the historical lowest price, which can be checked using tools.

4. The discounted price of the product must be more advantageous than the price of the same or similar products previously posted on HotUKDeals.

5. The product’s rating and number of reviews should be acceptable.

The expression of the post should be appropriate, and do not reveal any traces of advertising, such as seeing it by chance on a website and sharing it because it feels good. The British site HotUKDeals even rejects merchants.

*Note: Do not use a domestic IP to post, as it will be easily deleted. Be sure to find a local UK user to do it.

How to find influencers to post to

One way is to collect the email addresses of top reviewers, the more the better, and then send a mass email to ask them if they have an account. The way to increase the success rate is to modify the content of your email. You can explain in the email that you can get rewards for helping to post.

In addition, some sellers have personally tested finding celebrities on Douban to post, the steps are as follows:

First, search for "UK" in the search box, and some groups related to the UK will appear, such as the UK student exchange group, UK London house rental group, etc. Most of the people in the group are local international students, or even people who have settled in the UK.

Then the seller can post in the group to find celebrities to help post HotUKDeals. One seller has personally tested that he has posted in some groups to find celebrities to post. The post posted by the seller is as follows:

"Dear friends in the UK, does anyone have a Hotukdeal account? Or help me register an account with a Gmail email address. It is best not to associate it with a Chinese email name. You can register with a meaningless email name, such as: [email protected]. If you have a Hotukdeal account, you can help post or support a post, and you will be paid. Friends who are interested, just add my QQ/WX: 11223344."

As a result, I really found a Chinese person in the UK who was willing to help post, and it was an old account that had been registered for several years. However, the probability of this happening is still very small, and it depends on luck. If you have friends in the UK, you might as well contact them directly and ask them to help register an account, maintain the account, and then help post.

Profit Model

HotUKDeals only earns commission when a user clicks on a commission link or some other sales lead and makes a purchase.
