... everyone, posting today's release notes. Most of what shipped is in three places: onboarding, story access, and Content Desk resilience. What changed: Connect once, start writing sooner. When you connect @beehiiv , Kit, or a newsletter archive during setup, onboarding now finishes from that connection, and Voice Training starts right away. If training succeeds, your AI Writer is ready to use without waiting for manual approval. You'll get a note when it's ready. A wider 12-month story ...

... network. @HeyGen and @n8n are doing similar things , building communities of power users who gather, share workflows, and end up becoming the best distribution channel the company has. And then there are hackathons. @InsForge ( their hackaton was online ) and @beehiiv are among the companies leaning into this format bringing builders together around a specific problem or tool, and creating moments that generate content, community, and product feedback all at once. The companies investing in real-life community are getting something ...

... data that no other service can provide them. Comment from Adrian Witaszak(@adrian_witaszak): Honest answer: there's no single best one, it depends on what the newsletter is meant to become. If it's the product, Substack or Beehiiv get you moving fast. If it's one layer of a bigger business with products, community, or memberships coming later, optimise for owning the audience and your domain over whichever editor you like today. The migration pain almost always shows ... ... solve this for content creation? Since getting information is really cheap and accessible in this AI era.

Mailchimp is more suitable for business newsletters like sales offers, etc. Monetization: When I wanted to take the next step and monetise, I looked into Beehiiv . At that time, however, I wasn t in the mood to pay the costs without yet earning any revenue in my opinion, Beehiiv

... newsletter stories with others who also have a newsletter or folks who I want to promote. I've not pushed any paid collabs yet as I've not treated the process much like a business, but seeing tools like Beehiiv come about and seeing how others are running things it's definitely given me ideas on where I want to take things from here. I think having a media kit with "services" and pricing laid ... ... form like videos or tips and I tend to get more personal with the story telling or expand deeper than I otherwise do on social media where attention spans are shorter and the objective is to slow the scroll vs

... where they can own their subscribers and remove SEO as a dependency for growth and engagement, there is market opportunity for a Substack for Product People. ---Why?--- Platforms like Mailchimp and Kit are for marketing funnels, and Substack and Beehiiv are for monetizing "prose" (people who want to monetize writing). Roundups would just hyper focus on product insights and curated recommendations. While you can copy and paste a Roundup into those platforms for distribution right now, those platforms have ...

... thinking about monetization right now or anytime in the near future, the hope is that by building a community of builders and enthusiasts, we ll eventually have an audience to test our own experiments on. We picked Beehiiv because it was free to start, offered a customizable landing page, and has an easy-to-use analytics dashboard. Substack is great and has community momentum, but felt more saturated. Also, the Beehiiv

... have both @Substack and @beehiiv newsletters. Both have pros and cons. But honestly, I don't know what one to commit to. Substack only makes money when I make money but is feature lite. Beehiiv

... newsletter is supposed to become, not just how it feels to publish the first few issues. Substack still makes a lot of sense if the main job is writing, shipping consistently, and getting some lift from its network. Beehiiv starts to look better when you care more about growth mechanics, segmentation, and building something that feels a bit more like an owned business asset. The catch is that both can become awkward if the newsletter is only one part ...

Currently, I promote my newsletter (curatedforfounders.com) in these communities where I have seen conversions: - Twitter (#buildinpublic hashtag seems helpful) - Product Hunt - Beehiiv community (for newsletter) - My existing email list (on mailer lite) - Indiehackers (got very less traction in my experience) I know there are so many communities /platforms, but most are dead or have a very low active user base. Do you know of any other community that founders can use to share their work / promote their products ...
