What they are

Buffer

Buffer schedules posts across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and X from a single queue. The free plan covers three channels, which covers most solo creators. Analytics show reach, engagement, and best posting times. Straightforward compared to enterprise tools like Hootsuite.

Teachable

Teachable is a hosted course platform where creators build, market, and sell online courses, coaching programs, and digital downloads. It handles payment processing, student management, and course delivery in one place, making it a practical choice for solo educators and small teams. The tradeoff is that transaction fees apply on lower-tier plans, which quietly erodes revenue until you upgrade.
