Frequently asked questions

What does a newsletter agency do?

A newsletter agency runs some or all of your newsletter for you. That can mean writing and editing issues, designing templates, managing sends and deliverability, growing your subscriber list and earning revenue through sponsorships, ads or paid subscriptions. We can take on the whole operation or just the parts you would rather hand over.

Do you work with Beehiiv?

Yes. We are an official Beehiiv Expert Partner and it is the platform we know best. We handle new Beehiiv launches, migrations from other platforms, templates, automations, referral programmes and monetisation tools such as the ad network and paid subscriptions.

Should I use Beehiiv or Substack?

It depends on your goals. Substack is quick to start and has a built-in reader network, but gives you less control over design, data and monetisation. Beehiiv offers more tools for growth and revenue, plus custom domains and branding. For most brands and businesses we recommend Beehiiv, and we are happy to talk through the trade-offs for your situation.

How long does it take to grow a newsletter?

There is no fixed timeline. Growth depends on your niche, your content, how often you publish and the channels and budget you use. Most newsletters build steadily over months rather than weeks, so we focus on consistent publishing and growth channels that compound over time. We will never promise a subscriber number we cannot stand behind.
