Indie dev with DR39 site pulling 30k monthly pageviews asks how to monetize it
iannuttall · x · 2026-08-24
Indie developer Ian Nuttall is publicly asking for advice: his DR39 domain (related to ilo.so) gets 30k pageviews a month from X-related keywords and tool terms, but his attempts to monetize it — a SaaS, a social scheduler CLI, and now a Chrome extension — have all failed.
He's asking how others would monetize this organic traffic (explicitly ruling out "sell links"). The replies turn into a real-world case discussion on converting SEO traffic into revenue.
