He demonstrates Beehiiv’s platform features including customizable websites, subscriber data collection, automated welcome sequences, and multiple monetization options. Timestamps • 00:00 - Intro • 02:58 - Overview of newsletter growth potential • 04:03 - Website building and email capture features • 15:00 - Subscriber data collection and welcome automations • 25:00 - Cross-promotion and "Boost" network for growth • 38:06 - Lead magnets and referral programs • 55:00 - Customized email collection based on content • 1:08:35 - Monetization strategies (sponsorships, paid subscriptions) • 1:10:55 - Final thoughts on consistency and getting started By the way, I wrote an 11 page free ebook/PDF summarizing the playbook Tyler used to get to 100k subs with all the hacks. https://www.gregisenberg.com/beehiiv-business Key Points • Beehiiv’s all-in-one platform includes website building, email capture, subscriber data collection, referral programs, and monetization tools • Multiple growth channels work together: lead magnets, email gating, referral programs, and cross-promotion with other newsletters • Monetization comes through direct sponsorships, Beehiiv’s ad network, and the "Boost" feature where newsletters pay each other for subscriber referrals 1) Website & Email Capture Strategy Beehiiv gives you a full website builder where you can create: • Custom landing pages • Email capture forms • Pop-ups targeted by traffic source • Different signup flows The key? Create MULTIPLE entry points that convert 20% of visitors to subscribers. Tyler's Windows 98-themed site stands out because it's INTENTIONALLY different! 2) The Subscribe Flow Magic This is GENIUS: After someone subscribes, Tyler shows: • Sponsored newsletter recommendations • A quick survey collecting demographic data • A welcome page with popular content This data helps him: • Sell premium sponsorships • Create targeted content • Understand his audience (60% founders!) 3) Network Effects & Passive Growth Tyler gets 200-300 FREE subscribers weekly through Beehiiv’s recommendation network! How it works: • Other newsletters recommend his in their subscribe flow • He recommends others in his flow "It's like getting $400-600 of value weekly just for existing on the platform" 4) The Boost Network (Paid Acquisition) Tyler spends $2K monthly buying subscribers through Beehiiv’s Boost marketplace • He pays $2.50 per subscriber • Only pays for subscribers who ACTUALLY ENGAGE • Has autopause features to cut off low-quality sources • Manages 155+ acquisition sources in one dashboard It's like a vending machine: put in $2.50, get $4 back! 5) Lead Magnets That Convert Tyler shared his seed deck on Twitter (100K views) with a simple signup form. The magic: • Created a custom landing page in Beehiiv • Set up a different signup flow (no recommendations) • Built an automation to deliver the deck instantly • Added new subscribers to his newsletter Pro tip: Get sponsors for your lead magnets to fund MORE promotion! 6) The Referral Program (1% of growth) Tyler built Morning Brew's referral program (led to 1M+ subscribers) and implemented a simpler version: - 1 referral = Access to Series B deck (digital, zero cost) • 3 referrals = $10 off merch (dropshipped, zero cost) 7) Monetization (The Engine) Tyler makes 30K monthly through: - Direct sponsorships ($7K per placement) • Boost network referrals ($2-4 per subscriber) • No paid subscription (though many make $100K+/year this way) Notable Quotes: "Writing weekly and sharing my thoughts online has probably been the highest leverage thing that I've done in my entire career. It's opened so many doors to angel investing, meeting other founders, meeting people who are doing really cool shit." - Tyler LCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.
