5 Low-Cost Tools That Can Help Boost Your Website Revenue

I’m sharing my top 5 favorite low-cost tools that can help boost revenue for your website. These are affordable options – all under $10 per month – that can have a big impact on your site’s performance and earnings.

Tool #1: Yoast SEO

Yoast SEO is hands down one of the most powerful SEO tools out there, especially considering it’s free WordPress plugin. With over 5 million active installs, Yoast SEO is a must-have for pretty much any WordPress site. It analyzes your content and gives you feedback on how to optimize elements like meta titles, meta descriptions, headings, keywords, readability, and more. This helps you better target search terms and rankings. The end result is increased organic traffic from search engines like Google – and we all know that more traffic generally means more revenue opportunities.

Tool #2: Pretty Links

Pretty Links makes it easy to create cleaner, custom URLs for affiliate links or any other links you want to promote. Instead of having ugly, long affiliate links, you can mask them with something simple and professional looking. This makes links more aesthetically pleasing in your content while still tracking properly. Visitors will be much more likely to click neatly formatted links versus overwhelming affiliate links.

Tool #3: Hotjar

Hotjar is one of the best tools I’ve come across for understanding how people use your site. With its powerful heatmap, recording, and feedback tools you can literally see where visitors are clicking, tapping, scrolling, and more. This helps you identify buttons or calls-to-action that aren’t getting enough attention and shift elements around to better optimize your site’s layout.

Tool #4: TinyPNG

TinyPNG is a free tool that compresses images to make them faster to load without sacrificing visual quality. The faster your site loads, the better the user experience. Studies show even a 1 second delay in load times can cause a 7% loss in conversions. With TinyPNG, you can upload your image to their website or install their WordPress plugin. It gives you a compressed version to swap out on your site.

Tool #5: Link Whisper

Link Whisper automates internal link building to help search engines properly crawl and index your site. It identifies pages and posts that are “orphaned” – meaning they have no other pages linking to them. The tool then gives you suggestions on which pages to link together based on topic relevance. This level of automation is so powerful, especially for larger websites. It saves you from manually hunting down what pages should be linked together.

Conclusion

There you have it – 5 of my favorite tools that cost less than $10 per month but can have a big impact on your website’s revenue and growth. From boosting SEO to improving conversions, these tools tackle critical elements for succeeding online. Give one or more of them a try and get excited to see how your website will benefit!

Hi, I’m Jenny, the designer behind JennyB Designs. List-maker by nature, mother by life, and a firm believer that you don’t have to work more hours to build a successful business.

For over 13 years, I’ve been helping business owners create websites that do real work behind the scenes. With the right structure, strategy, and design, a website can support growth, attract the right people, and quietly do the heavy lifting day after day.

Clients often describe working together as calm, organized, and supportive. The focus is always on partnership and clarity, because when the process feels steady, the end result feels even better.

The real win isn’t just hearing “this looks great.” It’s hearing “I finally feel confident sharing my website.”

A website should support your business, not demand more from you.

No pressure. Just a conversation to see if it makes sense to move forward.
