Kit, the newsletter program that pays for a year — and more worth knowing.
Rates are from each program’s own page. The rest is what we’ve learned about who does well with them.
The spotlight · Kit
What it is · Kit50% · 12 mo
Email software for creators, with a free plan (Newsletter: $0/mo · up to 10,000 subscribers, 1 automation), so the people you refer can start without paying — and you’re paid when they upgrade.

Who it’s right for
Audiences who are starting or growing a newsletter: podcasters, YouTubers, writers. Wrong fit if your readers are already settled on Substack or beehiiv — switching is a big ask.
The catch
Most referrals start on the free plan, so money comes slowly. Publishers who do well treat it as a long game: recurring income from each upgrade, for as long as the program pays it.
Worth knowing
Descript$25
The editing tool podcasters mention most. Easy to recommend honestly because people see it working in your own show.

Framer50% · 12 mo

How to promote it
Show it, don’t list it
The links that earn are the ones next to real use: “here’s how I cut this episode” beats a tools page. Put the link where you show the work, and say plainly that you earn from it.
Ancaster earns nothing from these listings, and no program paid to appear.
