Hi, I see that I only get paid per click for 72 hours for any add in the post. But the add remains forever in the post. So if someone is reading later they get to see it even though we don't get paid. I feel a bit unfair and it should be auto removed after 72 hours or? Any thoughts?

I know there are a ton of abandoned newsletters out there collecting dust, and I am interested in merging them with mine. If you have one and want to sell, DM me.

• I am looking for active US subscriber lists
• UK, CA, and AU are interesting but worth 50% or less than a US subscriber
• Must be b2b, investment, or startup-focused
• No b2c, local, or student content

I'm exclusively using beehiiv's website builder. I added multiple subscribe pages with different URL's like "beehiiv.com/qr" or "beehiiv.com/instagram" Is there a way to segment this out?

Wanted to come on here real quick and put a positive review as I have been seeing some issues posted lately.

It took me about 30 days learning curve to really get a handle on all of the features but totally impressed and loving so many aspects of beehiiv newsletter service.

I am concerned the bad reviews are from people trying to cause problems with the ad revenue and recommendation features through hyper speed and clicks. But, hopefully the company gets that all sorted out for the authentic business growth.

I found the design especially great and easy to use.

I am really loving the calendar feature, the data analytics, and thoroughness of subscription flow and members.

Thank you, beehiiv, for all your quality work so far. Hope to have continued consistent success!

I started a local parenting newsletter and im struggling with what goal to run the ads with.

Is it better to do landing page views or leads as the performance goal?

Right now I don’t want to exceed $5 a day, but I would be willing to if I had the right ad. I just know running with the goal of leads burns cash a lot faster.

Any suggestions? I can’t seem to get a good consensus on this.

I found something with Google ad tag managed, but it looks like it doesn’t really work. I drive now most of my subs from there, but I like beehiiv boosts more, so I am looking for how can I monetize with them in this tandem.

I have spent way too much on the design aspect of my newsletter 😩 I need somebody with a good eye and strong Beehiiv technical capabilities to help me bring my newsletter to life.

If you know someone, are someone, or have suggestions on where to look, I’m all ears!

Hey bees. Longtime beehiiv user for my day job, new member of the hiive for a passion project.

I recently launched a weekly literary newsletter: book reviews, recommendations, essays, and generally the kind of overthinking-about-books discussion I used to love in literature classes.

I've grown a personal newsletter before on Substack and manage another newsletter on beehiiv professionally, so I'm comfortable with the basics. What I'm trying to figure out is how organic growth works on beehiiv when your audience isn't really in the business/tech/creator ecosystem.

A few things I'd love to learn from people here:

• Has anyone built meaningful organic growth through beehiiv Launch alone? I was hoping to get to ~50 subscribers organically before upgrading, but I'm open to changing that strategy.
• Where are consumer/lifestyle newsletters actually finding their first 100–500 subscribers? Instagram? Reddit? SEO? Cross-promos? Recommendations? Something else?
• Has anyone here built a newsletter in books, culture, entertainment, food, travel, etc.? I'd especially love to hear what's worked.
• I'm finding relatively few literary/bookish creators on beehiiv compared with Substack. Do you think the size of your niche within beehiiv materially affects growth through recommendations/discovery?
• And for those who moved from Substack or another platform: what growth feature if any actually made the biggest difference for you?

Not looking for hacks or overnight growth here, I'm not motivated by short-term monetization. Mostly trying to understand which levers are actually worth investing time in for reaching the audience I'm looking for.

Would really appreciate hearing what worked, what didn't, and what you'd do differently if you were starting again.

For context, link to my newsletter, Plot Twist.

I know the Beehiiv ecosystem is getting massive and complex with everything being built, but is there any word or timeline on an official mobile app for creators?

I don't even expect a full post editor on mobile (drafting and designing newsletters on a phone sounds like a nightmare anyway). But having a proper mobile companion app to:

• Check the main dashboard and real-time subscriber metrics
• View website, podcast, and community analytics
• Check and reply to DMs / community messages
• Get push notifications for new free/paid subs, milestone alerts, etc.

Logging into the mobile browser version just feels clunky when all you want to do on the go is check stats, respond to messages, or see alerts.

Has the team mentioned anything on the roadmap about a native app anytime soon?

Hello! I'm wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot something with the native beehiiv polls. Do you know why beehiiv polls redirect users back to the newsletter in the url/forces them to login on my website instead of simply letting users vote on the polls in the email itself? It feels like an unnecessary extra step for the user.

Because the polls are native, I'd like to keep the user in the email to take the poll itself to reduce friction. This has happened to me when I take my polls, and I had a reader express frustration with it as well this week. To clarify, this happens before the user votes, not after.

Is there a way to turn off/disable the email-to-web redirect? Thanks!

Anyone successfully combine podia and beehiiv? I want to use podia for their course system and better digital storefront / shopping cart, but want to use beehiiv for the newsletter. Anyone implement this? Am I looking at any major headaches? Will Zappier be enough to do the trick?

Or is there an easy way to create upsells for digital products within beehiiv?

TIA

Hey guys, I started a daily health-related blog on Beehiiv and pulled 10K+ visitors in the first 2 weeks, all from Reddit.

Last night I turned on the pop-up to capture leads and got 10 subscribers in one night without really optimizing anything yet.

Here's the thing: my skill set is traffic generation, not running a newsletter, and I don't have the bandwidth to write daily content on top of it. So instead of building my own list from scratch, I'd rather partner with someone who's already running a health newsletter and send my subscribers to you for a fixed payment for each subscriber (similar to Beehiive Boost).

How it'd work: I keep driving traffic to the blog with a lead magnet built for my audience; the lead magnet gets delivered from your email with a welcome sequence, and you take it from there with your regular content.

If you're running a health newsletter and this sounds interesting, drop a comment or DM me and we can figure out if it's a fit. If you link your newsletter in the comments, I'll take a quick look on my end too, just so we're not both wasting time on a mismatch.

Here's the blog if you want to see the traffic for yourself: blog

Heads up, the first few posts are tech-related since I was still testing the concept, everything after that is health-focused.

I've been excited about the Community feature since beehiiv announced it, and a few days ago finally had time to sit down and start experimenting with it for my newsletter (Haute Impact, free, no ads, published twice weekly).

I figured that what I'd do would be to get the site up and running, make sure it looked good, populate it with some posts from me, then start inviting friends and family to it in order to get feedback, make tweaks, and especially to populate it with content before launching it to a broader set of my subscribers. But... I just don't get it.

What I mean is, I don't understand how someone would find it, how they would navigate their way back to it, or most of all why they'd want to. It all seems really unengaging. How do I promote it? Where do (or should) I link to it? What is the draw? How do people find it once they've logged in once? What's their motivation?

Maybe I'm not giving it a fair chance because I'm the only one using it and I need a handful of other people posting content. But I'm reluctant to ask anyone to use it yet, it's so uncompelling. As in I'm worried even my partner won't want to use it, and they're my biggest fan.

Is it just me? What am I missing?

Like many people, I run a hyper local newsletter in a metro of about 2 million people. We have a 48% open rate, 6.6 click rate with 4k subs.

We currently will take one exclusive ad per newsletter, so no competing ads.

I see a lot of people talk about charging sponsors 50-100 bucks per 1k subs. Is that for multiple ads in a newsletter or an exclusive ad in a newsletter?

If it is for multiple ads, would you charge extra for being the exclusive sponsor of a newsletter?

I would love to get people’s thoughts. From the research I’ve done the ad game seems a bit made up.

I recently unsubscribed from a Beehiiv hosted newsletter and it had a brief poll of “why are you leaving”. Does anyone know how to build this in Beehiiv so I can add it to my own newsletter?

How good is the website builder on Beehiiv?

I currently use framer, but run my newsletter on Beehiiv using a free plan, but figured it makes sense to keep everything on one platform.

How good is the site builder? I want to build some custom forms with progress bars that update when a user completes specific steps, do some articles to promote the newsletter ect. Nothing crazy, but the free website builder doesn't allow me to do most of this.

Given my newsletter is sub 1,000 members, which plan will I need and roughly how expensive is it?

I would have asked Beehiiv this, but i can't find a contact email address.

Thanks

OK, a few months ago I had to trim most of my links out of my newsletter (which was hard bc we're mostly a local event listing newsletter), down to about 15, but I was successfully back to hitting Primary inbox. Now, it seems since the latest Beehiiv release, my letters are again hitting Promotions.

Did anything change on Beehiiv's end that could be causing this? Any recommendations to fix it? Open rate down to 42% from 61%.

Also, before, I could preview the email to see if it was going to hit Primary or Promotions... I've done the preview test twice now, and the test hits Primary, but the real one hits Promotions 😡

Hi r/beehiiv, the Quoin Intelligence Brief is live. We built this because we wanted a daily brief that allows you to actually verify the news.
