TOP STORY
My Digital Marketing Tools
Over the past year and a half of building this newsletter, testing side hustles, and dabbling in everything from affiliate marketing to content creation, five tools have earned a permanent spot in my daily routine.
They're not super complicated and every single one of them is beginner-friendly enough to open for the first time and figure out how they work within a couple of hours.
Here's what I use every single day and how a total beginner can put it to work this week.
Let’s Dive in 👇
TOOL #1
Beehiiv
Every piece of content I publish starts with beehiiv, and it's the reason starting an email newsletter no longer feels like you need coding skills.
Instead of stitching together a website, an email sender, and a payment processor, beehiiv combines newsletter creation, audience growth, and monetization tools into one clean dashboard.
What makes it click for beginners is the drag-and-drop editor.
You don't design from a blank page; you build with pre-made blocks, so a newsletter that looks professionally designed can come together in under an hour, even with zero design experience.
No-code editor: a simple slash-command system lets you add text, images, and links without touching a line of code
Built-in growth tools: referral programs and recommendation networks help new subscribers find you organically, so list growth doesn't rely on you alone
Monetization from day one: paid subscriptions, sponsorships, and an ad network are baked in, meaning you can start earning from your list without adding extra software
Free plan that's genuinely usable: you can build an audience of up to 2,500 subscribers at no cost, which is more than enough room to find your voice before you ever pay a dime
TOOL #2
vidIQ
vidIQ makes my life as a content creator so easy, it fastbacks the research, planning & design of my videos in half.
It's a browser extension & web dashboard that overlays directly onto YouTube and YouTube Studio, showing you keyword search volume, competition, and an SEO score for every video you plan or publish.
It will flag what you’re missing from your title, description, and tags, so you're not guessing what the algorithm wants.
Keyword explorer: shows you real YouTube search volume and competition for any topic, so you can find trending short and long-tail keywords before you ever hit record
Video scorecard: analyzes your uploads and hands you a prioritized checklist of what to fix — like adding closed captions or placing your keyword in the first sentence of the description
Trending alerts: notifies you when a keyword in your niche is spiking, giving you a window to create timely content while interest is high
AI-assisted titles and ideas: generates topic and title suggestions based on your channel's niche, useful on the weeks your creative tank is running low

TOOL #3
Canva
I open Canva almost as often as I open my email.
Whether it's a newsletter header graphic, a quick social media post, or a thumbnail for a video, Canva is what turns a plain idea into something that actually looks polished — without needing Photoshop-level skills or a single design course.
The entire platform is built around templates: instead of starting from a blank canvas, you start with a pre-designed layout and simply swap the text, images, and colors.
Massive free template library: over a million templates and design assets are available at no cost, covering everything from social graphics to full presentations
Drag-and-drop editor: move text, images, and shapes freely with no coding or design training required — genuinely built for beginners from the ground up
Built-in photo and video editing: background removal, cropping, filters, and video trimming live right inside the same tool, so you're not exporting to a separate app
Brand Kit: save your colors, fonts, and logo once so every design you create afterward automatically stays on-brand and consistent
TOOL #4
Amazon
What if you could get paid to promote your favorite products on Amazon?
Amazon Associates lets you earn a commission any time someone clicks your unique link and makes a purchase.
Link to a $15 kitchen gadget, and if that reader also grabs a $300 blender while they're there, you get credit for both.
Start with the Best Sellers List on Amazon. This tells you what people are already buying.
Free and open application: bloggers, newsletter writers, YouTubers, and social creators can all apply once they have a platform with real content
SiteStripe toolbar: lets you generate a trackable affiliate link for any product in seconds while you're browsing Amazon itself
Trusted brand, higher conversion: because almost everyone already shops on Amazon, affiliate links here tend to convert better than lesser-known retailers
Bounty payouts: beyond product commissions, you can also earn a flat fee when someone signs up for services like Prime or Kindle Unlimited through your link
ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE
What is an EOR—and why are companies using it?
Opening entities in every country can be slow, expensive, and hard to scale.
That's why more companies are using EOR to hire globally faster.
See how Oyster helps teams hire, pay, and support talent in 180+ countries while staying compliant along the way.
TOOL #5
SEMRush
Semrush is a tool that I use every day for keyword research, competitor analysis & much more to build my website credibility.
Instead of hoping a blog post or newsletter section ranks well, I can look up the exact search volume, competition level, and search intent behind a keyword before I ever write the first sentence.
The feature I lean on most is the Keyword Magic Tool, which taps into a database of billions of keywords to surface long-tail, low-competition phrases — the kind of specific search terms that are far easier for a beginner site to actually rank for than broad, crowded topics.
Keyword Magic Tool: enter one seed term and get thousands of related keyword ideas organized by topic, complete with search volume and difficulty scores
Free keyword research tool: no account required to search monthly volume, keyword difficulty, and search intent for any term you're considering
Site audit: scans your website for technical SEO issues and ranks them by priority, so you fix what actually moves the needle first
Competitor keyword gap: shows you which keywords competitors already rank for that your content doesn't yet cover — instant content ideas based on real demand
