I'm afraid you need to be a little more specific with your target. Just offering a site with a bunch of buy one get one free offers from different kinds of products is a rough way to start because it will be hard to get targeted traffic. Be careful of creating what I call a "Flea market site" that has so many offers and tries to target everyone and ends up targeting no one.
Remember, one of the best ways to draw in targeted traffic for free is the search engines. And they are looking for sites that have a specific theme. Think about how people search the web. Most people don't type in "buy one get one free" in Google, they type in specific phrases like "lawn chairs" or "dining room furniture" so you want to pick a specific idea/topic to focus on.
It's much better to create a site all about furniture and then find furniture related affiliate programs (for example) that offer buy-one-get-one-free than to just try and advertise everything. Google and the other engines won't know what your site is about and will not send you any targeted traffic.
Instead of focusing on what you want to sell, you should focus on who you want to target and the kinds of keywords you want to be found for. Once you do that, it gives you a better roadmap of how to create your site.
One of the biggest traps people fall into is trying to decide what they want to sell before they decide who they want to target and how they expect people to find them. If you start with your audience in mind, things will begin falling into place because you begin to think like they think and create content based on their needs.
For example, when I built 2createawebsite, I had no idea the kinds of programs I would promote at first. I knew I wanted to target people who wanted to build websites but didn't want to necessarily become programmers. So as I began writing my content and getting found for various phrases, it gave me ideas for what to sell and affiliate programs to join because I knew my audience were beginners and I could assume many of the questions, problems and concerns they have. But more importantly the content came first.... the affiliate programs came much later.
80% of people who go to search engines look for free information, not to buy anything. So it's your job to find a niche, provide that good information on that topic and THEN pre-sell them on related affiliate programs very subtly.
Remember, build a site for the people and their needs, not for the products and ironically selling and making money will become much easier.
