300K Monthly Visits From Free Tools (Build With AI)

We’ve featured Tim Bennetto in this newsletter before…

• From Locksmith to $74K/Month SaaS in 4 Years

He recently tweeted…

Pallyy’s free tools get 300K visits/mo.

Pallyy is a social media scheduling tool, check out their free tools here 👈

Free tools are a great way to get traffic to your product.

👇 Tim shares how to go about it…

[To] Find keywords

I’ll be using AHREFS for this.

Next, enter a tool related keyword eg. “generator” and also a keyword in your niche eg. “instagram”

You can also use the * as a wildcard ending.

Other keywords you could try: “tool”, “convert”, “maker”.

(Btw, you could do this with any decent keyword tool, not just Ahrefs)

Tim continues…

Find low DR keywords

Look for keywords with a low DR, under 20.

Make sure it also has at least a few hundred searches.

Once you’ve picked a good keyword…

Build your tool

The keyword will be the SEO title of your page, so build a tool that does exactly that.

Can just be a very simple tool, usually I’ll spend 1 day max building it.

You could use AI to help with the build. Big advances lately with GPT-4 Vision 🤖

TLDRAW is a design canvas tool (OpenAI API Key required) that uses Vision. It lets you design your tool and outputs the code.

Ken Schumacher shows how he used it to build a ping-pong game just by drawing it 🤯

Back to Tim, and the final steps after you’ve launched your tool…

Submit [the URL] to Google Search Console.

Promote it.

Repeat

I’ve built over 20 free tools so far. The more the better.

You could add these types of tools to your blog / SaaS / agency / whatever site to get more traffic, leads and build trust. 

Or you could build a tools site and monetise with display ads 🤑

A couple of examples of that…
