Two courses on technical writing. Most revenue is launches twice a year; rest is the long-tail of the existing catalogue. Kit handles list + sales sequences; the cohort tools never paid back. Loom is the production tool — courses are mostly screen-recorded with light cuts in Descript.
The stack
Powerful automations and creator-shaped landing pages. The right tool when your newsletter has graduated from Substack but you still hate ConvertKit pricing.

$2/moTry it→ - StripePayments
The default payments stack for solopreneurs: invoices, subscriptions, one-off charges, all of it. If you take money on the internet, you probably end up here.
$0/moTry it→ - LoomCommunication
Async video for the rest of us. Record your screen plus a webcam bubble, send a link, save half a meeting.
$15/moTry it→ - DescriptContent
Edit audio and video the way you edit a document. Cuts, fillers, and corrections happen in a transcript instead of a timeline, which compresses a half-day of editing into an hour.
$35/moTry it→ - NotionProductivity
A flexible workspace that doubles as a CRM, content planner, and lightweight project tracker, all from one tool.
$10/moTry it→ - Fathom AnalyticsAnalytics
Privacy-first analytics with a single-line script and a single-page dashboard. The closest competitor to Plausible and worth comparing both before you commit.
