Thanks for your response. So is it like a substack? How does it pay?

[–] Tintedlemon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, it is similar to substack - which is what I previously used.

Substack was good for most things, especially the 'Notes' section, which Beehiiv doesn't have. The premise of notes is for newsletter content writers to read each other's work and connect with each other, which I like.

I moved to Beehiiv after I realised that my side project was growing, and I had the opportunity to monetise it. This was in the form of boosts, ads, paid subscriptions, sponsorships, referrals, etc. The dashboard tells me everything I need to know, I can easily manage ad requests, boosts and so on.

For paid subscriptions, it's paid and processed through Stripe (who take a small transaction fee).
