What they are

Gumroad

Gumroad is a storefront platform where creators sell digital goods like ebooks, courses, music, templates, and software directly to buyers. It handles payments, file delivery, and basic licensing with minimal setup. Indie creators and solopreneurs favor it for its low friction, though Gumroad takes a 10% $0.50 fee on every sale with 30% fee on discover marketplace sales, which adds up quickly at higher revenue volumes.

SocialBee

SocialBee is a social media scheduling platform built around content categories, so you can recycle evergreen posts, maintain posting variety, and avoid running your queue dry. It serves solo creators, freelancers, and small agencies managing multiple accounts across platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, and TikTok. The category system is genuinely distinctive, but the interface has a learning curve compared to simpler schedulers.
