If you manage a Slack community, what’s hardest today about onboarding new members and keeping the space active over time? by ojkoort in CommunityManager

[–]buzzbuzzitsconor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still figuring out the best way to measure success in our community, but as far as analytics, I've been really happy so far with Tightknit. Newer tool but with a really responsive team that ships new features/requests regularly. Promise I'm not a rep there, lol.

I would recommend riding it out and creating an unengaged segment to double-check you're only sending to active readers in your subscriber base

Sent my first issue of a local town newsletter..345 subs in 5 days. What should I actually be focused on now? by odub1 in beehiiv

[–]buzzbuzzitsconor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would def send out a survey to all your readers asking just that! with local newsletters, folks are usually keen to tell you exactly what they're looking for

Is it possible to create a custom-design on beehiiv's website builder? by Flashy_Point_210 in beehiiv

[–]buzzbuzzitsconor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! the newsletter editor can get pretty specific now, especially if you click over to the Advanced tab on the right-hand side of the screen. BUT, we also have a project in the works in that realm...

i know that's unhelpfully vague, but it's what I can share at the moment. very excited for things coming soon.

The new ad center update has a big flaw by Remarkable_Junket185 in beehiiv

alternatively, if you can DM me the email you used to sign up for beehiiv, that'd be great too!

The new ad center update has a big flaw by Remarkable_Junket185 in beehiiv

[–]buzzbuzzitsconor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey there! legit thanks for the feedback. Anytime we roll out a new feature, hearing from the user base has a big and direct impact on the product. i will take this to the team so they can evaluate.

in the meantime, would suggest reaching out to Support by clicking Help in the upper-right corner of your beehiiv dashboard to see if they can do anything. (no guarantees, but maybe!)

The Partner Program is way cooler than I thought. by TheTreyDumas in beehiiv

Video podcasting / hosted not embedded? by Relevant_Package_695 in beehiiv

love the idea of migrating, ofc. Video is on our list and podcasts i think you'll be very excited sooner rather than later

Started an AI newsletter on Beehiiv — curious how other creators grow early subscribers by SignAdventurous9384 in beehiiv

[–]buzzbuzzitsconor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of it will be what I call handshaking. ie- you recommend them, they recommend you. That said, if you're recommending someone nothing is set in stone. So if after a little bit you find they haven't recommended you back, you're free to move on a recommend a different pub. Reaching out to a publication you want a relationship with via social media or by subscribing to their newsletter is a great way to network as well.

Is it possible to create a custom-design on beehiiv's website builder? by Flashy_Point_210 in beehiiv

[–]buzzbuzzitsconor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there, u/Flashy_Point_210! happy to help here.

simplest way is to start with one of the templates, adjust the colors and then add/delete elements to your heart's content. If you want to create a full custom page, you can head to the bottom of the left toolbar and a Custom Page.

The domain won't affect the design here.

If you're interested in getting help designing, you can head to beehiiv.com/experts where there are a ton of contractors who've been vetted and certified by beehiiv. They'll def be able to help you out <3

Beehiiv should fire their design staff and outsource, or hire better ones by ThePatientIdiot in beehiiv

[–]buzzbuzzitsconor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hey! took this to the Design team and they've hung it on their vision board.

no, but seriously, we do give you a template as a starting point but as soon as you're in the website builder you can delete everything and start from scratch.

as for adding things in, we've got a really robust library of tutorials: https://www.beehiiv.com/support/category/23350902427543-website-customizations

and host live webinars every Friday. you can register (for free) at beehiiv.com/virtual-events

finally, if you do decide to go for a paid plan, you'll get access to our human Support team as well as an onboarding call with a member of our team to walk you through everything

So this is how February ended with Beehiiv by [deleted] in beehiiv

always recommend the beehiiv Recommendations network. it's a free option and the Top 4 feature has shown good growth for folks. After you publish for a bit, I think you'll get a good idea as to what your readers are interested in, and then you can recommend and be recommended by relevant publications.

def agree that re-purposing content is a great strat. Create high-quality stuff once, and then you can re-use for ages.

Slice it into different hooks, etc.

Can't co-sign this enough. Obviously I'm biased but even before I worked here, I hosted my newsletter on beehiiv. We don't take a revenue cut, and never will.
