The beehiiv Recommendation Network includes over 30,000 active publishers and has generated millions of new subscribers 🤯.
We crunched the numbers, and the data speaks for itself:
Newsletters that use the Recommendation Network grow 2.75x faster.
Newsletters that recommend others are 32x more likely to be recommended back.
Creators on beehiiv are already helping each other grow. Today, we’re amplifying that momentum with a completely rebuilt Recommendations engine, making it easier than ever to share meaningful endorsements — and get discovered in return.
Introducing The Top 4 👇
Your Top 4 is the key to free newsletter growth.
Start by spotlighting four newsletters that you think your audience will enjoy. To do this, visit the all-new Recommendation Hub and select publications one of two ways:
Add our suggested recommendations in one click (they’re curated based on your content and audience).
Or browse the full network and hand-pick the publications you want to support.
You should also have an email in your inbox with a batch of tailored recommendations — check there first if you haven’t already 👀.
Once you lock in your Top 4, they’ll appear right after someone subscribes to your newsletter. Your picks get instant exposure, and you get plugged into a powerful growth loop.
That’s because when you recommend other publishers, they’re notified and can easily return the favor. Remember, newsletters that recommend others are 32x more likely to be recommended back.
tl;dr shoutout the creators your readers will love, and watch the love come back. 💫
Plus, the more you engage with the Recommendation Network, the more prominently you’ll appear in others’ suggested recommendations.
You’ll be able to track it all in the new Recommendations dashboard. You can see how many Top 4s you’ve been added to, how many subscribers you’ve gained, and more.
Plus, you can swap newsletters in and out of your Top 4 whenever you’d like to keep it fresh.
The fastest-growing newsletters in the world grow through partnerships. Now, beehiiv makes it easier than ever for you to do the same.
It all starts with your Top 4.
