Freecash review. Freecash (previously Freeskins) is a new GPT site that was launched in 2020. It's been growing extremely quickly since then, with $2,648,173.73+ paid out to users.

Based on the user reviews we've gathered, they have the highest avg. hourly rate amongst all other GPT sites we've reviewed, and when comparing their offer payouts, they had the highest payouts available.

They also have some unique features like on-site chate, a live activity log, leaderboard rewards, and more.

This all being said, GPT sites will never make you a ton of money, nor will they provide a consistent income. Still, they can be decent for making extra cash in your free time.

Creating a time-converter tool and growing it to a million visitors a month. This side hustle story is not an instant success story, but a great story about a simple project that someone made:

1. To solve their own problem
2. For fun

The tool (Dateful) took 9 months just to hit 1,000 visitors a month. It now ranks in the #2 spot on Google for "time converter" (a keyword that gets around 300,000 searches/month) and generates money with a small display ad.

For being quite a simple tool to create, I'd say this is a great success. It's also a great example of improving on current solutions in the market rather than reinventing the wheel.

Growing a Google Analytics alternative to 500k annual recurring revenue in 3 years. The power of blogging and content on the internet is insane. As I mentioned last week, you don’t always need to rely on SEO (aka Google rankings) in order for your content to convert into sales. 

Plausible.io changed their entire trajectory with a single blog post that blew up on HackerNews.
