📈Building a £5K/Month Affiliate Blog Around AI Tools for Freelancers

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I’m Ben, and I recently launched FreelanceWithAI.co.uk — a content site focused on helping freelancers grow faster using AI tools.

Why I Started
I noticed that most freelancers want to save time and earn more — but don’t know which AI tools actually work.

My goal is to help them decide and monetize those recommendations through affiliate marketing.

🎯 I’m aiming to build this into a £5,000/month income stream.

What I’ve Done So Far

✅ Built the site using WordPress (Astra theme)

✅ Joined affiliate programs (KoalaWriter, Systeme.io, MailerLite, etc.)

✅ Published 6+ SEO-optimized blog posts

✅ Created a lead magnet with MailerLite

✅ Started growing on X, LinkedIn, and Reddit

Traffic + Results (Week 2)

100+ unique visitors
10–20 clicks to affiliate tools
Gaining early traction on socials

What’s Next

Publish 2 blog posts per week consistently
Launch a YouTube channel once I hit 8+ blogs
Keep building in public and sharing lessons

Would love to connect with others working in content, affiliate marketing, or AI tools!

Drop your tips, questions, or feedback — I’m all ears 🙌
