beehiiv
Newsletter platform built by Morning Brew alumni.
What it is
beehiiv is the newsletter platform Substack should have been: built-in monetization, referral programs, ad network access, analytics that aren't useless.
Strengths
- Built-in ad network for monetization
- Referral programs are first-class
- Free tier up to 2,500 subs
- Better analytics than Substack/Mailchimp
Trade-offs
- Less established than Mailchimp/ConvertKit
- Some features still in beta
Who it's best for
Newsletter operators who want to monetize without coding their own infrastructure.
Prompts that pair well with beehiiv
Design a lead magnet anchored to an existing piece of content
Lead magnets that fail are usually disconnected from search intent. This prompt designs one anchored to a top-performing page so the conversion path is natural.
Write a newsletter edition from a list of source links
Curated newsletters are only valuable if the editor adds a distinct point of view on each item — not just a summary. This prompt forces a brief original take before summarizing each link, so the edition reads like editorial commentary rather than an RSS feed.
Extract and sharpen the most quotable lines from a long draft
Long articles and reports contain strong ideas buried in ordinary prose—hard to surface without reading with a very specific lens. This prompt isolates the lines most worth pulling out for pull quotes, promotional copy, or social content.
