This is the actual stack I use to write, design, and ship my newsletter every week. Running it solo while also building my own SaaS.

I've set up newsletters for clients on Fiverr and run my own SaaS, so this list is based on what actually works in practice. Some platforms are built for writers, some are general email tools, and one is just great for design. Pick based on where you're starting from.

Website building was the first thing I ever did as a freelancer. Later, I moved into blogging, SEO, and everything around it. After 10+ years and more than 1,000 blogs, I’ve tried hundreds of tools and these are the ones that have consistently worked the best for me.

As someone who loves learning, writing, and staying updated about the internet, these are the websites I consistently check. They cover everything from tech and business to psychology, long-form essays, and daily trends. If you want to learn something new every day, this is a great place to start.

I’ve bought 100+ things over the years, but only these have stayed. Each one earned its spot by actually making work or life simpler. No gimmicks, just what truly works.

These are the books that genuinely changed how I think and live. They’ve shaped my mindset, my work, and even how I handle challenges.
