If you want to start a newsletter or build an email list, it should not be complicated—and in this video I walk you through how to do it in Beehiiv from start to finish. I show you how to create your account, pick your newsletter name, choose what your newsletter is about, and get set up on a trial so you can follow along. Then I cover what to do if you’re brand new and don’t have a website yet: I recommend using Beehiiv’s “build your website” option to quickly create a landing page with a template, swap your images, colors, and typography, and publish a live site. After that, I show you how I design a newsletter and send your first email. One of my main drawbacks with Beehiiv is they don’t have a lot of newsletter templates, so I recommend creating your design in Canva, grabbing the embed HTML, and pasting it into Beehiiv using an HTML snippet block. From there, I walk through start writing, choosing your template, adding a subject line and preview text, reviewing, and publishing (now or scheduled). Finally, I show you how to set up automations: trigger it when someone signs up, send an email, add delays like a one-day wait, and publish the automation so it runs on autopilot.
