hi team,

With the holiday weekend coming up--hope all who celebrate get a day off!--I wanted to make sure everyone knew about the 2 new webinars we hosted this past week.

In addition to our normal "Jumpstart" webinars that focus on new users to the platform, we've also implemented Deep Dives and Office Hours recently. This past week, we hosted two Office Hours sessions.

The first was Using our MCP to Optimize Your Business. Was a great overview of how to use beehiiv's new MCP v2 tool to aggregate publication data and set everything up.

The second was an Office Hours on How to Grow on Social with our Social Media Lead Chi. A Forbes 30 under 30, Chi understands how to grow, stay consistent and not burn out.

Links in the thread and hope you enjoy!

hey team!

happy to announce we've launched a really often requested feature: Group Subscriptions

tl;dr - With Group Subscriptions, you can now sell access to entire teams, companies, and organizations. Meaning that, say, Company A can purchase paid access to your publication instead of Employees 1, 2 and 3 having separate paid subscriptions.

Toggle it on for any paid plan or tier, and the group purchase option will instantly appear at checkout.

Would be neat to see some example checkout pages too. If you're proud of your design, link it below so we can check it out.

hey team! excited to announce our official integration with Cloudflare. We've partnered with Cloudflare and become the first content platform to give publishers real-time control over which AI bots crawl your content.

tl;dr below, with the full announcement in the thread!

With this new partnership, you're getting:

• Personalized Analytics: Creators get an on-platform dashboard powered by Cloudflare APIs. This shows exactly which AI crawlers are attempting to access their content, which ones are being blocked, and the referral traffic those crawlers send back to the newsletter.
• One-Click Toggle Permissions: The ability to block or allow specific AI models based on the creator's business goals.
• Future-Proof Rights Management: Automatic updates that adapt to new AI crawlers as they emerge on the web, ensuring creators have the most up-to-date control without needing to update code.

LMK if you have any questions!

beehiiv released our newest case study today: the State of Paid Newsletters. definitely recommend a read, but have put some key takeaways below.

• Launch paid around the six-week mark. The typical creator in our dataset launched their paid tier 45 days after starting their newsletter.
• $10/month and $100/year is the market standard for paid newsletters across nearly every industry and list size. It hasn’t moved since 2024.
• Your niche determines your ceiling more than your audience size. A 1,000-subscriber investing newsletter can earn more than $2,700/year. The median 1,000-subscriber travel newsletter earns about $252.
• Median free-to-paid conversion is 0.62%, but the top 10% in finance and investing hit 18-20%. The gap is largely in execution.
• Retention is where the real money is. Estimated subscriber lifetime ranges from about 6 months (Money) to nearly 20 months (Food & Drink), roughly a 3x difference in revenue per subscriber before pricing is even factored in.

love to hear anyone's thoughts, or lessons you've learned in your own paid subscription models

hey team!

wanted to make sure that everyone--new and existing beehiiv users--was aware of our Own Your Audience promo going on right now.

One of beehiiv's biggest offerings is the control it gives you over who sees your content and when. On social, or other platforms that are trying to build a social app, algorithms decide who sees your content. With beehiiv, you're in control. 

You can read more about what sets us apart in the link below, but tl;dr -

If you join beehiiv, or upgrade your plan or tier, you can use the code OWN30 to get 30% off for 3 months.

Thanks for being a part of the community, and if you have any Qs, please put them below
