Piotr Kulpinski launched OpenAlternative, a directory of open-source tools, about 2.5 years ago

His monthly update for June…

259k pageviews (-25%)
480 open source tools published (+6.2%)
46,714 tool clicks (-36.3%)
$4,976 revenue ($3,499 MRR) (+35%)

Monetization…

• Advertisements
• Expedited + featured listings
• Affiliate links

What other “alternative” directory sites could you build?

An interesting example I found recently: MySkypeAlternative.com

No idea how that’s doing but it’s the kind of site that could earn a decent monthly income on autopilot
