Resources

The AI tools I actively use and pay for. This page is updated monthly. Some links are affiliate links — see my disclosure.

AI Writing & Content

  • Claude (Anthropic) — My primary writing and reasoning AI. Better than ChatGPT for long-form content and prompt following. claude.ai
  • Surfer SEO — Content editor and keyword research. I use this for every post I publish. The NLP-based content grading actually improves rankings. surferseo.com
  • Jasper — AI writing tool with a solid affiliate program (25% recurring). Better for templated marketing copy than long-form. jasper.ai

Pinterest & Traffic

  • PinClicks — Pinterest keyword research tool. Shows search volume and competition data that Pinterest itself doesn’t give you. Essential for this traffic strategy.
  • Canva — Pin image creation. I batch 3 pin designs per post using my brand templates.
  • Tailwind — Pinterest scheduling. I schedule 15–20 pins per day and let it run.

Email & Monetization

  • ConvertKit — Email platform. Simple automation, clean forms, creator-focused. What I use for the welcome sequence and weekly emails.
  • Gumroad — Digital product sales. Zero monthly fee, takes a percentage per sale. Perfect for prompt packs at the $9–$27 price point.

WordPress & Site

  • Hostinger — Hosting. Fast, cheap for the traffic level I’m at, good WordPress support.
  • Kadence Theme — WordPress theme. Fast, flexible, works well with Gutenberg blocks. No page builder required.
  • Rank Math — SEO plugin. Free tier covers everything I need. Better than Yoast for schema markup.
