Top 5 Tools That Made You Money This Year (I Used Them All)

1️⃣Shopify

I spun up a store in a weekend and it started converting fast. High-converting themes, frictionless checkout, and apps did the heavy lifting. If you want sales momentum without tech headaches, this is it.

2️⃣Stripe

My checkout approval rate jumped and refunds got easier to manage. Global wallets and subscriptions just worked, which meant fewer blockers and more revenue. Payouts hit the bank on schedule, every time.

3️⃣Gumroad

I validated digital products fast and started selling within minutes. Perfect for PDFs, templates, and small courses without any website build. Discoverability is limited, so your own audience matters.

4️⃣Meta Ads Manager

It found buyers quickly when the creatives hit. Great targeting and conversions, but performance can swing and you must watch frequency. Leave it unchecked and you will burn cash.

5️⃣Etsy

A ready-made marketplace that sent warm buyers to my listings. It works for handmade, printables, and niche gifts, but fees stack up and competition is fierce. You trade some control for exposure.
