A Deep Dive

Starting a newsletter has helped me discover some cool tools, and today I want to share some of those tools I use from time to time with my newsletter with you.

Let’s start

The Newsie Stack

Zapier: This is a platform that allows you to automate a process from one app to another.

For example, a way I use Zapier is to connect my Gumroad account to Beehiiv so that when someone downloads one of my products they will be added to my email list.

Passionfruit: This platform makes it easy for sponsors to schedule an ad in your newsletter. I still have not had a sponsor yet book on PassionFruit, but it’s a neat tool to make it easier for both parties.

Beehiiv: My go-to ESP. Enough said 😛 

Gumroad: Probably one of the best places to sell your digital product. What I like about it is how easy it is to quickly start selling a digital product.

Midjounrey: Been playing around with Midjourney, still learning but been using it a bit for the thumbnails for the newsletter.

I still have more learning to do.

Hemingway: I want to make the newsletter easy to read for you and the Hemingway app is one of those apps that allows you to see how easy your writing is to read for your reader.

Stripe: My go-to payment platform, it’s easy to charge someone who wants to buy from you.

Notion: The app I use not only to curate my content for the newsletter. But also create lead magnets for the newsletter.

Canva: If you have seen the design masterpieces 😉 of the newsletter most of it came from Canva. For example, the content breaks were created in Canva.

These are only some of the tools I use, weekly. If I were to share the whole list you might be here for a while reading and get bored.

But no worries I made a list in the form of a database. You can access it for free right here to see other tools I use from time to time.
