请问HN：为什么我这个拥有600个工具的免费工具网站在两年后几乎没有收入？
我在将近两年前推出了一个名为 Kody Tools（https://www.kodytools.com/）的免费工具网站，作为一项副业。网站上有超过600个工具，设计简洁且响应迅速，我投入了大量精力进行推广。我原以为通过广告变现或出售广告位会很简单。
然而，尽管如此，网站每月的访问量仅有大约7000到10000人次，收入几乎为零。我的托管费用每月大约在20到40美元之间，这让我开始认真 reconsider 我的策略。
我很想听听你们会如何应对这种情况。在没有驱赶用户或破坏用户体验的情况下，你们在将免费工具网站变现时有什么有效的方法？
任何建议或策略都将非常感谢！

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!
