Today, we’re rolling out major upgrades to how you create, monetize, and grow your business on beehiiv.

Webinars: The newest addition to your digital product suite.
Podcast MCP: Podcast hosting with built-in MCP support.
Paid Subscriptions: New features to help you convert readers into recurring revenue.

Our goal is to help you build a sustainable content business on your terms. Whether it’s subscription bundles, digital products, webinars, or podcasts, it all lives here.

I think you’re going to love these new additions…

With the launch of Digital Products last November, we made it easy to sell eBooks, guides, templates, and consulting sessions.

Today, we’re adding webinars.

You can now:

It’s all part of the same ecosystem powering your newsletter, website, and paid subscriptions. One audience. One checkout flow. Zero friction.

To get started: Create a new product and select Webinar. Choose free or paid.

Next: Add your event details. Design the page, set attendee caps, schedule reminders, and more.

Launch: Publish to your site, then promote it anywhere. Embed it on a landing page or drop it into a newsletter by typing /product in the editor.

All attendees automatically receive a calendar invite with the join link. The event is hosted directly in beehiiv, so no Zoom, no external links, and no extra software to manage.

Most platforms make money when you make money. Luma takes 2% plus $0.99 per ticket. Patreon takes up to 12%.

We think that's backward.

beehiiv doesn't take a cut of your webinar revenue. Not 10%. Not 2%. Zero. You pay Stripe's processing fee and keep the rest.

It’s never been easier to:

Three weeks ago we introduced Podcasts, so you can already launch, host, and monetize your podcast entirely on beehiiv.

Today, we're adding native AI support, making beehiiv the first podcast host that lets you analyze your show by simply chatting with AI.

Connect your beehiiv account to Claude (or your AI client of choice) and ask:

No more exporting CSVs. No more switching tabs. Just ask.

This is the latest addition to the beehiiv MCP. If you aren't already one of the thousands of creators using it → request access here.

Still paying for a separate podcast host? You can migrate your entire archive to beehiiv in minutes, and stop paying two bills for one audience.

And once your podcast is on beehiiv, everything else just works.

Upload new episodes directly, and we’ll automatically distribute them to every major podcast platform: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Castro, and beyond.

Behind the scenes, we support MP3, M4A, and WAV, with automatic audio normalization so every episode sounds polished and consistent.

Every upload also includes a full transcript, helping you get discovered in search and LLMs, improving accessibility, and turning every episode into reusable content.

Because your podcast is fully integrated with your beehiiv website, each episode has its own SEO-optimized webpage to drive traffic and capture subscribers.

Instead of sending your audience to Apple, Spotify, or YouTube, you can keep them in your ecosystem. Just send them to your episode page, where they can listen or choose their preferred player.

And because podcast pages are powered by the beehiiv Website Builder, each one can be customized down to the last pixel. Explore the drag-and-drop editor, or use our AI tools to build your site from scratch with just a prompt.

Our podcast analytics are built to IAB standards, with breakdowns by country, listening app, device, and operating system, plus episode-level downloads and real-time data. No more waiting 24 hours for reports.

We also built advanced bot filtering to separate real listeners from noise, so you know exactly who’s tuning in.

Bundle your podcast with your existing subscription and offer a private feed to paying subscribers. It’s a new way to create a premium experience for your most engaged audience, with exclusive episodes, early access, and more.

No third-party tools. No separate payment flows. No asking subscribers to pay twice. And unlike other platforms that feel entitled to a cut, beehiiv doesn’t take a cent.

When your podcast listeners, newsletter readers, and website visitors all live on one platform, you can get more out of your audience.

On beehiiv, everything you create is part of a cohesive ecosystem:

You can now offer a seamless audience experience without juggling a half-dozen different tools. What are you waiting for?

The best paid newsletters are built on beehiiv. Creators on our platform are generating tens of millions in subscription revenue, and we haven’t taken a single dollar.

Today, we’re introducing two new features to help you convert more readers into paying subscribers.

You’ve seen this on sites like the New York Times: read a few articles for free, then hit a paywall. Now you can do the same, without writing a single line of code.

Set a limit (e.g., 3 free posts per month). Once a reader hits it, they’ll see your paywall and need to upgrade to keep reading (or wait until the next reset).

You control:

Free trials convert, but they also attract people who were never going to pay.

Paid trials fix that. Instead of $0 for 7 days, offer $1 for 30 days or $5/month for 3 months.

Readers pay upfront. You get a card on file, and a subscriber who’s already invested. When the trial ends, they automatically move to a full-price plan.

You control:

Convert more readers. Keep everything you earn. That's the model.

In just a few weeks, thousands of creators across verticals from finance to fitness have migrated their podcasts to beehiiv. They’re all making the same shift: ditching fragmented tools for a single platform that handles hosting, distribution, analytics, and monetization.

The results? Lower costs, better performance, and full control.
