I have a website where I build free tools to help people grow their online business. My business model is that they're all free and I'm going to hopefully build a good sized email list. However I'm now at a point where I've got a solid set of tools and I'm not sure if I should just keep making tools in a "if you build it they will come" way or focus on promotion which I'm pretty rubbish at to be honest. This is my website is anyone wants to offer feedback http://www.supagrowth.com How would you guys promote this? Ideally free traffic initially.
The range of tools looks really good but your means of providing them is way, way out of date. With all the ransomware and viruses that exist I wouldn't let anyone I know download a program from your site. You're unknown, there's no way of knowing what is going on and it's just not worth the risk. If you can re-engineer the tools so that they're cloud based you would probably find you have much more success in getting known and having your tools used.
Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately the business model doesn't work due to the number of proxies I'd need if they were cloud based. You can always run sandboxie
