Our take
As the way people consume media evolves, it has become clear that audiences are interested in paying directly for content from their favourite creators. Newsletters are a great way for writers to deliver this sort of content to readers, but delivering and monetizing them can be complex. Beehiiv supplies a platform to manage newsletter creation, optimize engagement and monetize content, so that writers can make the most of them whilst keeping the time to concentrate on creating.
Founded in 2021, Beehiiv is one of a bunch of new competitors to the established newsletter platform Substack, with rivals including offerings from Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Where the company seeks to stand out is in making it easier for smaller creators to monetize their work, instead of focussing on the top percentile that already have established audiences. The platform is comprehensive and user-friendly, making it a good option for those just starting out with newsletters.
Beehiiv has secured good levels of funding to grow its reach and expand its technical capabilities. Users have received the product well, and the company claims to send out 1 billion emails per month from roughly 20,000 content creators.
