### What is [ConvertKit](https://convertkit.com/)
An easy-to-use newsletter marketing service made for developers! Ok, not really, but wow it has everything! From easy to use embeds (like the one you see below) for getting subscribers and donations, automation, RSS feeds, subscription reports, and so much more.

### Tip Jar

ConvertKit also comes with beautiful widgets you can embed right into your websites, which you can customize to your own styling. I editing the text for the widget below on the website and grabbed the embed, which looked like this:

```
<a class="convertkit-button mx-auto" href="https://tmchuynh.ck.page/products/donate" data-commerce>Donate</a>
<script src="https://tmchuynh.ck.page/commerce.js" async defer></script>
```

This widget is a pop-up when the visitor clicks the `convertkit-button` you place within [your website](https://tmchuynh.me/hireme.html).
