we launched Community to give your audience a space to meet and connect
today, we're making communities on @beehiiv even more powerful and easier to manage:
👤 custom profile fields
🗺️ member directory
🔔 email notifications
📱 mobile-first experience
🎛️ community manager role
people either don't know or are confused about podcasts @beehiiv.
summary here, details next:
- hosted with us
- available on the free plan
- chats + comments
- can customize visually
- connected within the rest of the ecosystem
here are a few ways to make the most if it.
I built a local newsletter with 40,000 subscribers and turned it into a multi-six-figure holding company — this has been the most fun business I've ever created.
Now I teamed up with @beehiiv to give you the 90 Day Launch Plan so you can launch your own local newsletter and go from idea → thousands of subscribers → your first paying sponsors.
Inside the Launch Plan, you'll get:
> The 8 decisions to make before you send a single email
> A step-by-step 90-day checklist: pre-launch, launch, and growth
> The 2 cardinal sins that kill most local newsletters
> How to size your market
> How to build content pillars that are your magnet AND your moat
> How to land your first sponsor — then diversify beyond ads with creative monetization
The demand for local media has never been higher. The barrier to start has never been lower.
The 90 Day Launch Plan is 1,000% free.

the internet doesn’t really have a search bar anymore. it has a chat box.
@beehiiv makes sure you show up in it: your site is now AEO-ready so AI can find and quote you, and Crawl Control lets you decide which bots get access.
introducing AI Discovery (on your terms) 👇
five years ago, @beehiiv was just a side project my cofounders and I were tinkering with
today, beehiiv was named #19 on the Inc. 5000 — the annual ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies
over the three year period that Inc. measures, we grew more than 10,000% 🤯
I’m proud of the growth, but more proud of what it means for our users and the broader creator economy
creator-first means:
> 0% platform fee (always)
> full data portability (no platform lock-in)
> maximum customization and flexibility (it's your brand, not ours)
newsletters will always be at the core of what we do, but we’ve continued to expand the ecosystem to serve what the most successful creators and publishers need:
> podcasts
> community
> website
> digital products
and we’re just getting started 😈
sure, the last few months were podcasts, community, AI copilot.
but @beehiiv is a newsletter platform first. today we level that up:
👉 Click Triggers for automations
💰 Custom Group Deals
❓ Random Cohort Sends
🎨 Visual Editor stable release
💻 Send API (Max plans)
we just shipped a bunch of powerful podcast features on @beehiiv
> automated email notifications so your audience never misses a new episode
> episode previews to tease your premium content
> IAB-standard analytics with real-time data and bot filtering
I will never understand why companies are replacing customer support with AI
we’ve taken the complete opposite approach @beehiiv & every day we see posts from users raving about our support team
here’s our logic:
> there's so much mediocrity that we encounter in our day-to-day lives. AI has given us an unlimited supply of stuff that is “pretty good”
> it's rare to have an experience that genuinely delights you
> so there's a real premium for excellence. whether physical or digital… when everything around you is "pretty good," the thing that's actually exceptional stands out
for customer support, that means hiring true product experts who are fast, kind, and remarkable at what they do
the game is to build a product people genuinely love to use
& we're going to win it because no one cares about their users as much as we do
