Automation
n8n — workflow automation
What it is: open-source workflow automation you can self-host. The orchestration layer for nearly everything we run.
Best for: builders who want owned, flat-cost automation and AI orchestration.
Skip if: you need one simple two-app zap and never want to touch a server — a hosted no-code tool will be easier.
Hosting & infrastructure
VPS hosting (Hetzner-class providers)
What it is: affordable virtual servers for self-hosting n8n, WordPress tooling, and agent frameworks.
Best for: anyone self-hosting automation — the economics beat per-task SaaS pricing quickly.
Skip if: you’re not comfortable with basic server administration yet and don’t want to learn; start with managed hosting.
Website & publishing
WordPress + GeneratePress + Rank Math
What it is: the stack this site runs on — lightweight theme, serious SEO plugin, fully ownable.
Best for: content businesses that want speed, control, and clean SEO foundations.
Skip if: you’re building a pure landing-page funnel — a dedicated funnel builder is faster for that job.
Email & audience
Newsletter/email platform
What it is: the list is the most durable asset in any content business; we build ours from day one on every property.
Best for: everyone. If you take one thing from this page: start collecting emails now.
Skip if: never. There is no version of this business where the list doesn’t matter.
AI models & APIs
LLM APIs (frontier + budget tiers)
What it is: we route work across model tiers — inexpensive models for mechanical steps, frontier models for judgment.
Best for: anyone running AI in production; routing is the single biggest cost lever.
Skip if: you’re still prototyping — use one good model until cost actually hurts.
