What they are
Beehiiv
Beehiiv is a newsletter platform designed specifically for independent writers and media operators who want to grow, monetize, and analyze their email audience without juggling multiple tools. It includes a built-in ad network, paid subscription tiers, referral programs, and detailed subscriber analytics in one place. The free plan is genuinely useful, though meaningful monetization and advanced analytics require a paid tier.
Zoom
Zoom is a video conferencing platform used for meetings, webinars, live Q&As, and online coaching sessions. Content creators, course instructors, and community builders rely on it to host live interactions with audiences of any size. The free tier caps group calls at 40 minutes, which is a genuine constraint for longer sessions. Paid plans start around $14.16 per month when billed annually and lift that limit while adding recording and webinar features.
