I’ve been working on a temp mail for the past couple of months and wanted to share my progress + get some honest advice from people who’ve built similar tools.
- March: ~6.6K users
- April: ~11K users roughly 60–70% growth in a month
But here’s something interesting:
- Views (March): ~29K
- Views (April): ~30K users increased a lot, but views barely changed
Traffic is mostly global (Bangladesh, Nigeria, some Europe, etc.), and the usage pattern is simple:
people come → generate email → check OTP
I’ve added Adsterra ads, but honestly:
- earnings are very low
- not really growing with traffic
- feels like I might be doing something wrong (placement or network)
Right now I’m confused about the next step:
Should I focus on increasing traffic first (SEO, scaling users)
Or should I start optimizing monetization now (better ads, placements, other methods)?
- What works best for monetizing temp mail / utility sites?
- Are there better ad networks than Adsterra
- Do pop ads actually perform better in this niche
- How do you increase earnings per user
I want to grow this into a high-traffic tool (50K–100K users/month) and turn it into a solid revenue source.
Would really appreciate any advice, real experiences, or even blunt feedback
Still learning and figuring things out.
