What they are

Canva

Canva is a browser-based graphic design tool that covers social media graphics, presentations, video clips, thumbnails, and more through a template-driven editor. It is used by solo creators, small teams, and marketers who need to produce visual content quickly without hiring a designer. The free tier is genuinely useful, though the most polished templates and brand-kit features sit behind the Pro paywall.

Mailchimp

Mailchimp is an email marketing and automation platform used by independent creators, small businesses, and e-commerce brands to build subscriber lists, send campaigns, and track engagement. It offers drag-and-drop email builders, audience segmentation, and basic landing pages. The platform is mature and well-documented, though its pricing scales quickly once your list grows beyond a few hundred contacts.
