Kit: The Creator Newsletter Platform

Kit (which rebranded from ConvertKit in 2024) is what a large share of professional newsletter writers actually use. It is built for individual creators rather than marketing departments, which shows in how fast you can go from idea to a published newsletter with automations and a landing page.

What Kit Does

• Newsletters and broadcasts with a clean writing-first editor
• Visual automations for welcome sequences, tagging, and funnels
• Landing pages and forms so you can grow a list without a website
• Digital products and paid newsletters with built-in checkout
• Creator Network recommendations to grow from other newsletters

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

A newsletter is one of the most portable businesses that exists, and Kit is arguably the most creator-focused way to run one. The free plan covering up to 10,000 subscribers means the tool costs nothing until the audience is genuinely large, and features like paid newsletters and product checkout let you monetize without adding more tools.

Pricing

Free for up to 10,000 subscribers with core features; paid plans add automations and the Creator Network and scale with list size.

If the plan is to fund travel with a newsletter, this is the default tool to start with.
