Lets talk about the moolah.
For starters - if you are here. Then I assume you are an avid fan of the experience I have created on this blog and you are keen to get a deeper understanding to the inner workings of the ToolsGaloreHQ blog. So thank you for you time and your interest.
This project has always been in my mind a for-profit exercise. I wanted to learn and see how I could best build one of the worlds most aesthetically pleasing tool blog experience (I have really struggled with the idea that simply because we are talking about tools, getting information about them through web platforms needs to look like the store room of a warehouse).
Hence why I created this curated experience... but lets get back to the moolah.
How I make money Currently
For full transparency, my current and only source of income is through amazon affiliate marketing. In which I make a small commission (at no additional cost to you EVER), when you decide to make a purchase of one of my tools recommendations through my blog post. See the image below of my earnings from the calendar year of 2025 - I made a total of $433.53 in commission through the Amazon Affiliate Programme in 2025.
These above are revenue numbers. This revenue - helps me maintain the costs of running this online enterprise whilst simultaneously finding new ways to provide additional content.
Here is the kicker - to curate this experience costs me a lot more than that, so for the financial long term viability of this blog I will need all the support I can get.
So if you are a fan of the content and would love to see more please click the links, purchase the products and support the growth of this blog. Every penny and dollar is much appreciated.
Future Plans on How I intend on making money in the future
My aim is to eventually grow the blog into the revenue streams below:
- Ad revenue through MediaVine
- Special Content Features with specific brands
If you have any further that you think I could look at please feel free to reach out to my via the contact form.
How you can support the work right now today
You can buy me a beer, or multiple beers at that. If you look on your screen you should see an icon that looks like this
Click that and you will be directed to a page where you can donate to the continued work on this blog.
That's it. Its a simple model for now - high quality tooling experience financed through support of the community.
Cheers
