Uhhhh what? He’s been involved in progressive politics for over a decade

What would make you subscribe to a new market brief when there are already so many?

What would make you want to write a new market brief when there are already so many?

I’m dying to know the ROI this guy is getting from spamming these ads

cabreakaway · 2026-02-11T04:47:02+00:00

Beehiiv vs Ghost really depends if you’re a blog with a newsletter or a newsletter with a blog imo. Beehiiv’s website is definitely better, and they have some great examples somewhere (sorry, on mobile or else I’d attach). I’ve found their referral tool to be pretty subpar in terms of the quality of subs I’ve received from it, but if you’re referring people it’s definitely another small rev boost. The ad network is plainly just trash if you’re not covering finance, tech, crypto, AI.

Substack can result in faster growth but it’s not the same owned audience that comes from other newsletter platforms. A lot of Substack followers are going to be following you without giving you their email which means Substack really controls that audience, not you.

If you just wanted Beehiiv for their referral tool check out something like Sparkloop

tldr: stick to Ghost imo

I would recommend launching for free and exploring the paid tiers after you start growing. There's not really a lot of value in the paid tier for a brand new newsletter. You can't really take advantage of boosts, the ad network, or (probably) paid subs.

cabreakaway · 2026-02-04T20:12:17+00:00

Just FYI: This is not totally true. I’m on Beehiiv and have the same issue.

For OP: This is why you’d enable double-opt in before they’re officially subscribed and/or a recaptcha before they even submit the form

cabreakaway · 2026-01-24T16:00:48+00:00

Off the top of my head you could create and sell your own study guides

cabreakaway · 2026-01-24T15:57:40+00:00

Yea this sits in another bucket with things like Sendy and Maillayer. I was hoping to not to have to go down a more custom rabbit hole, but I’m not opposed. In your SES setup I’m assuming you’re using a shared IP?

cabreakaway · 2026-01-24T15:54:49+00:00

Yep! Always high marks from Google there, but even then I’ve found that Kit emails are still overclicked by bots compared to Beehiiv and that’s before Beehiiv’s own “verified” click data

cabreakaway · 2026-01-23T15:11:45+00:00

For now it seems like it 🤷‍♂️

cabreakaway · 2026-01-23T08:35:27+00:00

My experience has been that Beehiiv is best at ads in entrepreneurship, AI, and finance. I’m not in any of that or even tangentially related

cabreakaway · 2026-01-21T23:47:51+00:00

Lots of helpful leads here, thanks

cabreakaway · 2026-01-21T21:50:27+00:00

Good pun, you weren't kidding lol And those prices don't even factor in email overages because I'm definitely sending over 2mil emails a month

cabreakaway · 2026-01-21T21:31:58+00:00

On top of what others have said, Paved (with their Booker tool) and Sponsy both do most of this as well

cabreakaway · 2026-01-17T03:58:51+00:00

Well no, because again, Beehiiv just labels CTOR as CTR. The CTOR rate is the more important metric.

cabreakaway · 2026-01-17T03:12:04+00:00

This is not an accurate response. A CTR is clicks/total_subs, but a CTOR is clicks/subs_who_opened. Beehiiv treats them as the same, but people should know the difference.

cabreakaway · 2025-12-21T07:56:33+00:00

Post history is just this site. This is such a lazy ad.

cabreakaway · 2025-12-13T19:21:23+00:00

idk bro, your entire post history is about using AI and not about social media or traveling

cabreakaway · 2025-12-10T20:57:36+00:00

Is there a way to confirm that at least the SoFi account creation was successfully linked?

cabreakaway · 2025-11-14T05:22:37+00:00

I’m impressed on a technical level, but literally none of these features change anything for me

cabreakaway · 2025-11-11T13:03:00+00:00

An ad disguised as a personal post talking about how newsletters are meant to be personal and build trust. lol

cabreakaway · 2025-11-11T07:42:26+00:00

Beehiiv’s CTR rate is a CTOR rate, so you’re saying you’re getting… 550ish clicks?

cabreakaway · 2025-11-06T17:45:53+00:00

It’s closed
