How to Create a Tool Wesbite With Deepseek to Make Money (Without Falling for the Hype)
The Truth About Viral “Easy Money” Tool Websites
Last year, I built a “viral” BMI calculator website after watching one of those “Make $500/month in 5 minutes!” tutorials. Guess what? It made $3.50 in six months. Why? Because everyone else was doing the same thing.
The harsh reality? Most YouTubers promoting tool websites:
Have massive audiences to funnel traffic.
Profit from affiliate links, not the tool itself.
Ignore cutthroat competition (e.g., 4M backlinks for basic calculators).
But here’s the good news: With Deepseek and smart niche research, you can build a profitable tool site. Let’s cut through the noise.
Step 1: Find a Niche That Actually Works
Forget “SEO tools” or “age calculators.” Use Deepseek to brainstorm unconventional ideas:
Prompt Example: “Generate 10 low-competition tool ideas for [industry] that solve specific problems. Avoid saturated markets.”

Homebrewing
“Beer ABV Calculator with Local Ingredient Database”
Pro Tip: Use communities like Reddit or Quora to spot recurring frustrations. I found my winning idea (“PC Assembly Cost Tracker”) in a PC-building subreddit rant about outdated pricing guides.

Case Study: For “Balcony Garden Sunlight Planner”:
QuestionDB: 50+ questions like “Which plants grow in shaded balconies?”
Google Trends: 40% growth in “urban gardening” queries.
Red Flag: If top-ranking sites have Domain Authority (DA) > 50, pivot.
Step 3: Build Your Tool With Deepseek + No-Code Platforms
You don’t need to code! Here’s my stack:
Deepseek: Generates tool logic.
Prompt: “Write Python code for a sunlight calculator based on balcony direction and location.”
Bubble.io or Glide: Turns code into a user-friendly app.
WordPress + Toolset: Embeds the tool into your site.
Cost: < $50/month (hosting + no-code tools).
Personal Hack: Use Deepseek to auto-generate FAQs and guides. For my PC tool, it drafted a “How to Upgrade RAM on a Budget” post that ranks #3 on Google.
Step 4: Drive Traffic Without a Million Subscribers
Forget paid ads. Try these:
SEO-Optimized Blogs: Write “How to X” posts linking to your tool.
Pinterest: Create infographics (e.g., “Best Plants for Shaded Balconies”).
Forums: Answer questions on Reddit/Niche forums with tool links.
My “PC Assembly” site got its first 1K visitors from a single Tom’s Hardware forum post.
