If you wanted to build a simple tools site like HTML CSS Tools or RandomTools.io, how would you do it?
Two tweets that might give you some ideas 👇
There’s a blog I need to check daily for new posts.
Doesn’t have an RSS feed.
Was paying RSS.app $10/m to handle this for me.
Just spent 20 mins in @Replit with ChatGPT helping me build a python app to take care of this for nothing.
(He goes on to share his code.)
I just cancelled a $30 subscription for a scraper tool, because I built it myself with the help of ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is making it easier than ever to build simple tools and apps like this.
You could make a bunch of them, put them on a website, and monetize with display ads. Follow Joseph Maxim’s playbook to build some links 🔗
Probably best to hyper focus on a niche for a website like this. I asked ChatGPT to come up with some unusual niches and it gave me some good jumping off points.

One idea it came up with…
Pet-related Tools: Create tools and calculators for pet owners, such as a dog age calculator (converting human years to dog years), cat BMI calculator, snake tank size estimator, or hamster wheel speed calculator. These tools can cater to pet enthusiasts seeking specific information related to their beloved companions.
Obviously you’d need to do some competitor research before diving into anything like this, see if such a website already exists and (if so) how tough it would be to outrank 🧐
Also, creating a website like that and driving traffic to it takes time.
Once you get good at building apps and tools with ChatGPT, a quicker way to monetize would be to offer your services as a freelancer.
