1. Boost Network — Earn Revenue (Scale — $49/mo)
Get paid to recommend other newsletters. Earn $1-$5 per subscriber acquired through Boost recommendations. Can offset or exceed the $49/mo subscription cost.
Why This Matters: Newsletter revenue without selling your own products. Some creators earn $500+/month from Boosts alone.
2. Referral Program (Scale — $49/mo)
Built-in referral system where subscribers earn rewards for referring friends. Configurable milestones and rewards. Replaces SparkLoop ($20/mo+) for organic growth.
Why This Matters: Organic subscriber growth without a separate referral tool.
3. Polls and Surveys (Scale — $49/mo)
Embed polls in newsletters to increase engagement and collect audience insights. Results visible in analytics. Most email tools require a separate survey tool like Typeform.
Why This Matters: First-party audience data without leaving the newsletter platform.
4. Custom Domains (Launch — $0)
Custom domain support on the free tier. Your newsletter lives at newsletter.yourdomain.com, not yourname.beehiiv.com. Most platforms reserve custom domains for paid tiers.
Why This Matters: Brand ownership from day one, even on the free plan.
5. 3D Analytics Dashboard (Scale — $49/mo)
Advanced analytics with subscriber acquisition sources, engagement heatmaps, and growth trends. More detailed than most email platforms analytics on comparable tiers.
