Thinking About Starting a Newsletter?
Read This First.

If you’re here, chances are you’ve been thinking about starting a newsletter… but you’re not 100% sure where to begin — or which platform won’t turn into a headache later.

Maybe you’ve asked yourself:

“Do I really need another tool?”
“What if I grow an audience and then lose control?”
“Is there a simple way to monetize without feeling pushy?”
These are valid questions. Most people don’t fail because of content — they fail because they choose the wrong setup at the start.
Let’s make this easier.

The Real Problem With Most Newsletter Platforms

A lot of newsletter tools are either:

Too technical
Too limiting
Or built around their platform — not your audience

Some platforms grow fast at first… but later you realize:

you don’t fully own your list, your branding is limited, and monetization feels awkward.

That’s usually when people start looking for alternatives.

A Simpler Approach: Beehiiv

Beehiiv was built for people who want a newsletter that feels simple now, but still works years from now. It’s not about sending emails. It’s about building something you actually own. With Beehiiv, you can:

Start without technical skills
Grow an email list you fully control
Keep your brand and voice
Monetize when (and how) it feels right
Avoid relying on social media algorithms

It’s designed to grow with you, not box you in.

When Beehiiv Might Not Be the Right Fit

To be fair, Beehiiv isn’t for everyone. It might not be ideal if:

You only send emails a few times a year

You want a fully “done-for-you” platform

You don’t plan to grow or monetize at all

In those cases, a simpler mailing tool could be enough.

Beehiiv vs Substack (In Plain English)

Substack is great if you want a fast start and don’t mind staying inside their ecosystem. Beehiiv is better if you want:

Full control over your audience
Your own brand, your own rules
More growth and monetization options

Think of it as the difference between renting and owning.

So… Is It Worth Trying?

Here’s the honest answer: Beehiiv has a free plan. You can explore it, test your idea, and see how it feels — without committing. That alone makes it worth a look.
