I quit my job to make free web tools

Hi Ruurtjan
Good ideia create the blog on the Tool webpage, just one question, At Plan A on stage 2 you sell ads with some platforms, do you think in create your own platform to sell ads?
Yeah, I'm using Carbon Ads at the moment. I don't have any plans to create my own platform, because I don't think the benefit will outweigh the effort compared to selling through, for example, buysellads.com.
I don't know Carbon Ads, i will take a look.
tks
Hey @Pul have you thought about putting an affiliate link on nslookup.io to a domain registrar? Perhaps people would use this tool to look for domain names that are not taken yet.
Thanks for the tip! I've actually already tried this. I had a component show domain availability for other TLD's, and their prices. When you'd click one that's available, you'd go to the affiliate link. Turned out it didn't generate a lot of revenue compared to replacing it with a third party ad.
Really cool that you tested this. Thanks for sharing the outcome.
Hi IH!
Ruurtjan here, from NsLookup.io. I've read plenty of these kinds of blog posts, and they've been a big motivator for me to take the jump. So I thought I'd share my story here as well. Thanks everyone, for giving me the confidence to give entrepreneurship a try. I'll hang around today to answer any questions, so ask me anything :)
