Ask HN: 为什么我的免费工具网站，收录了 600 个工具，两年下来却几乎没有收入？
6 分•作者: KodyBerns99•5 个月前
我大约两年前以副业的形式推出了一个名为 Kody Tools (https://www.kodytools.com/) 的免费工具网站。该网站提供了 600 多种工具，设计简洁且响应迅速，而且我在推广方面投入了大量精力。我原本以为通过广告或出售广告位进行变现会很容易。<p>但尽管如此，该网站每月仅吸引约 7000-10000 名访客，收入几乎为零。托管费用每月约为 20-40 美元，这让我开始认真重新考虑我的策略。<p>我很想听听您会如何处理这种情况。在不赶走用户或破坏用户体验的前提下，您在免费工具网站的变现方面有什么成功的经验？<p>任何提示或策略都将不胜感激！

I launched a free tools site called Kody Tools (https://www.kodytools.com/) almost two years ago as a side hustle. It features over 600 tools, a clean and responsive design, and I invested a lot of effort into promotion. I assumed monetizing with ads or selling ad space would be straightforward.<p>But despite all that, it only pulls in about 7-10k visitors a month, and the revenue is practically zero. Hosting costs me around $20-$40 monthly, making me seriously reconsider my approach.<p>I’m curious to hear how you’d tackle this kind of situation. What worked for you when monetizing a free tools site without driving away users or ruining the experience?<p>Any tips or strategies would be hugely appreciated!
