What they are

Gumroad

Gumroad is a storefront platform where creators sell digital goods like ebooks, courses, music, templates, and software directly to buyers. It handles payments, file delivery, and basic licensing with minimal setup. Indie creators and solopreneurs favor it for its low friction, though Gumroad takes a 10% $0.50 fee on every sale with 30% fee on discover marketplace sales, which adds up quickly at higher revenue volumes.

Sudowrite

Sudowrite is an AI writing assistant designed for novelists, short story writers, and screenwriters who need help developing plot, prose, and characters. It offers specialized tools like Story Engine for structured novel drafting, Describe for sensory scene details, and Brainstorm for unstuck moments. Unlike general-purpose AI writers, it is tuned for creative fiction rather than marketing copy. The tradeoff is that it is narrowly focused, so non-fiction and content creators will find limited utility here.
