Freebies websites are great for organic traffic, they tend to rank well because of their nature.

With a freebies website, you can offer things like samples, coupons, discounts, design resources, or any other free stuff. The goal of a freebies website is to provide your visitors with access to valuable products or services without charging them.

Monetizing a Freebies Website

Monetizing a Freebie Website

Right off the bat, it could look confusing. I’ll be posting free resources and earning money.

If you develop your site well and you steadily get organic traffic you could start mixing things a little bit.

Premium Products

From time to time suggest a premium product that fits your current post topic. For example, if you share 5 free t-shirt Mock-ups, at the end suggest a premium one from sites with Affiliate programs, such as Creative Market.

Google Adsense or another Display network

You won’t make thousands of dollars showing Google ads, but at least you will see some payoff for your efforts and it should be enough to cover the hosting expenses.

Bottom Line

If you have a passion for sharing the free stuff you found, go ahead and start your own website. It shouldn’t be something huge at the beginning. Start small and build it as you go.

Disclosure: Some of the links on the page may contain a ref code (affiliate links), that tells the other side that we have sent you. If you liked what we suggest and you make a purchase, we may receive a commission.
