To escape being only able to deliver 1-1 service via zoom you're going to need a band of robots to help you do the heavy lifting. This framework will help you contextualize where what tools fit where.
Broadly your business activities are going to be broken up into 4 main areas.
Content creation (craft your message)

Great channels like Three Blue One Brown have built audiences using only animations and presentations. I also recommend Pat's Course on Udemy for those who are camera shy and want to create content without showing your face. If you're getting started with video creation and don't know what gear to get, check out this starter kit

Reflect again and ask yourself, where does the customer persona that I defined in my channel strategy hang out online? Where are my people? What nooks and crannies of the wild-wild interwebz do they dwell?

Yes, real digital wonga to your bank account! As per the Content Strategy Guide, you're going to want to direct them back to your website. Try out and select one website builder. In the early days, it's important not to focus too much on how you'll monetise your stuff. At a minimum leave a link to your Buy Me A Coffee page. Be sure to experiment lots. As long as you have your basic digital infrastructure in place and are building an email list, you can always find a creative way to charge people later. For the experts reading this, just check the boxes of the tools you're already using.
