You spoke, we listened.
We moved our API, custom domains, and multiple publications to our free plan.
Because unlike other companies who take away features and make the free product harder to use over time, we don't hate you.
the free LAUNCH plan got a massive upgrade...
• can now use custom domains (new)
• full API access (new)
• unlimited audience segmentation (new)
• still unlimited email sends
plus the dozens of the other features you already know and love

We’ll see, but the facts are my former direct-report interns are 2/2 on exits within a year of leaving beehiiv.

Thinking about starting a newsletter from scratch?
Get good at Twitter first.
Use it as a testing ground for ideas.
If you can’t engage users with 280 chars, you’re gonna have a hard time engaging them with more.
Once you find your legs, you can launch to a hungry audience.

I’ve followed Dave for his thought leadership for 5 years now, and it’s incredibly validating now to have the king of B2B SaaS marketing using our tool.
Once again, he’s ahead of the curve.
I've decided to spend some time writing about creator businesses.
More specifically: writing to help you turn ideas into income + build a creator business.
