What they are

Opus Clip

AI tool that finds the most engaging moments in long videos and turns them into vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Adds dynamic captions and scores clips by predicted virality.

Substack

Substack is a publishing platform where writers host email newsletters and charge subscribers a recurring fee. Independent journalists, essayists, and niche experts use it to build direct audiences without relying on ad revenue. The platform handles payments, delivery, and a basic website automatically. Substack takes a 10% cut of paid subscription revenue on top of stripe fees, which becomes a real cost as an audience grows.
