What they are

Patreon

Patreon is a membership platform where creators charge fans a monthly or per-creation fee in exchange for exclusive content, community access, or perks. Podcasters, artists, writers, and video creators use it to build a predictable income stream outside ad revenue. It takes a percentage cut of earnings rather than charging an upfront fee, which makes entry easy but gets expensive at scale.

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.
