What they are

Canva

Canva is a browser-based design tool with a large library of templates covering thumbnails, social media graphics, presentations, and short-form video. The free tier is genuinely usable; the Pro plan adds background removal, brand kits, and a content scheduler. Dominant in the creator space as a Photoshop alternative that requires no design training.

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.
