What they are

ConvertKit

ConvertKit is an email marketing platform aimed at bloggers, podcasters, course creators, and independent writers who need to grow and monetize a subscriber list. It combines email broadcasts, automated sequences, landing pages, and a paid newsletter feature in one place. The interface is simpler than enterprise tools like Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign, which makes onboarding fast but limits advanced design flexibility.

DeepSeek

DeepSeek is a large language model chatbot developed by a Chinese AI lab, available free via web, app, and API. Creators, developers, and researchers use it for writing, coding, summarization, and reasoning tasks. Its R1 reasoning model performs competitively with much more expensive alternatives, making it a credible option for budget-conscious creators. Data is processed on servers based in China, which is a real consideration for sensitive content.
